So I got a box of UD Artifacts coming my way soon as well as a box of Western Conference UD (my anima is going to be busting open the Eastern Conference version). While I wait for them (probably coming tomorrow?), I decided to look at my Topps cards again.
What did I find out?
February 5, 1960: Bill Russell "snags an amazing 51 rebounds against Syracuse." Ok, like wtf, are you serious? I know Wilt's 100 is the one that really stands the test of time, but really, I mean, we're talking 51 rebounds here. Oh, and a month and a half later in a playoff game he has 40 rebounds? Under a month after that in the Finals, 35 rebounds? As a guy who loved Dennis Rodman growing up b/c of his rebounding prowess, I gotta give it up to BR. What a stud. I'd love to have him in my fantasy......basketball team.
Players who had one triple double in the 2007-08 season:
Paul Gasol
CP3
Lamar Odumb
Baron Davis
Andre Miller
LBJ
Mo Williams
Ryan Gomes
Boris Diaw
Carmelo
Brad Miller
John Salmons
-I don't know why, but that list depresses me. Brad Miller should never be on the same list as CP3 or Baron Davis.
"Kyle [Korver] is part of a free throw-shooting lore. At a contest in Toronto in 2004, former NBA star Glenn Robinson took the lead with 98 in 100 tries. Korver followed that impressive performance by stepping up to the line and hitting every one of his shots until he reached the century mark."
-Ok, seriously, "free throw-shooting lore?" Who's spinning this fabulously rich tapestry of a tale at a local pub, Jon Barry? Shaq? I really want the follow up to this story. I wonder if it would read something like this: "After losing the free-throw contest, Big Dog Robinson banged Kyle Korver's European slut fiancee mid-court while yelling at Korver to "try beating me in this you pussy!" Kyle just stood there with his hands on his head and tears running down in face." I should write the backs of these cards.
Back of Tony Parker's card: "Tony Parker has an amazing ability to get to the rim of Eva Longoria's asshole and finishes with panache that only a weak little Frenchman can do. Despite being known as a fierce competitor, Tony actually lacks testicles because they came into contact with Coach Greg Popovich's face in a raucous shower scene. Tony Parker Longoria and Popobitch are registered in Target, Pottery Barn, and Rodeo Rick's Empornium."
-See? Dammit, if only anyone other than me would read this blog.

Bill Russell is the man. I really think this blog is good though, because, honestly, your spurs hatred is almost scary and I wouldn't want to think about what you might do if you didn't have this outlet. Glen Robinson would positively wreck Kyle Korver's GF. In fact, I think that would be a great award. Every year, they give out an award for worst player of the year (they'd have to make a rule about how many years in a row Stephan Marbury could win), and whoever gets that award has Glen Robinson f*ck their wife or GF. I just feel like everyone wins. If people want to make sure NBA players hustle, this one program could do an enormous amount of good.
