My NBA Fantasy Team

My NBA Fantasy Team

I'm in Kwame's "Ghetto Hoops Part Deux" fantasy basketball league. My curse in these fantasy leagues is that I get teams that look great on paper, but suffer multiple injuries. My team is:

Kevin Garnett
Mike Bibby
Vince Carter
Elton Brand
Lamar Odom
Peja Stojakovic
Latrell Sprewell
Mo Taylor
Kelvin Cato
Eddie Jones
Allan Houston
Ron Artest
Tyrone Hill

Which is pretty good except that there are little ILs next to half of them, Carter is day-to-day and Taylor is undergoing a six game suspension. I need a solid point but I keep getting offered trades like Allan Houston for Tony Parker. Whaaaauuuuuuuhh? Yeah okay. It's true I don't need Houston and Sprewell since they play the same position on the same team but come on... I need a good point, not ANY point. I'm super-irritated that all these players are injured anyway. For 7 fucking million dollars a season they need to shake off that sore toe. "What? You broke your knee you say?? Walk it off." Pour some Tussin on it. Kwame said it best... "You don't see porn stars getting porno balls do you?" Yeah... you don't see news wires like "Rocco has been placed on the injured list by Vivid Films for a strained left testicle. He is listed as day-to-day." Or "Peter North has been suspended for four porn flicks by Smack Mah Bitch Up Productions for slapping around the fluffers." WALK IT OFF.

Why are people always trying to figure Kobe out? He's a full-of-himself ball hog. He's good, yes. But the secret of the Lakers success does not lie in Kobe Bryant, but rather the really really really big guy they have posted 24-7 under the basket.

So I watched that show 24 tonight. I watched it a couple times last season but didn't make much of an effort to follow it. This season looks like it's going to be pretty good. For the entertainment industry Middle Easterns seem to be the Russians of the 90's. During the 90's the bad guys in all terrorist movies were either Russian or representatives of one of the jillions of teensy countries that survived the dissolution of the Soviet Union. In the 2000's they all seem to be from Middle Eastern countries that aren't named out of political correctness. As if no one knows that they're all funding terrorist regimes, regardless of whether or not they're our "allies." A weakened United States benefits all Middle Eastern countries of Arabic descent, regardless of whether or not they admit it. Okay I won't go off on one of my political spiels. I just got The Scorpion King in the mail and I think I'll go watch it. Kelly Hu is freaking hot.
