Gilbert was so popular that Adidas made TWENTY different limited edition versions of his signature sneaker one year (I have three). And there’s definitely still a lot of love in DC for him. We just can’t quit him. When he got voted to start that All-Star Game, the city was watching the _practices_ from Vegas for… Read more

Jesus, what an entertaining trainwreck.

I always thought of it as a sitcom, with Eddie Jordan as the wacky dad trying to keep his weird sons in line, only DeShawn’s invited his pal Soulja over to talk shit to the toughest kid in the neighborhood.

Still wish it’d ended a little more gently, instead of being cancelled… Read more

Another fantastic Wizznutzz piece still up on the internet is the “Mount Rushmore of Sadness.”

Gilbert doesnt talk to Werner anymore cuz of the time they were playing Gauntlet 4-player coop-mode at the PuttPutt Arcade with [Klaus] Kinski and [Andray] Blatche and Werner’s elf got killed, and he started bugging Gil by doing this grave voiceover to try and distract Gilbert from his game and then Werner… Read more

A Let’s Remember Some Guys moment: Larry Hughes was the Bradley Beal to Arenas’s John Wall in 2004-5. Those two were fun to watch as a dynamic backcourt duo. Read more

Remember when SVP & Russilo would do a “Wizards Daily” segment about these guys? Quality radio.

...did somebody say “dismemberment plan”?

My uncle spent his entire life following Bill Russell (first through highschool leagues in Oakland, and later at USF as Russell was wrapping up his collegiate career, and later in life settled in Seattle, now Russell’s home also).

This was fucking fantastic. Another under reported fact about Mr. Baylor, in the 1961-62 season, he was called up to active duty in the US Army, and was stationed in Washington state. Because he played in Minnesota, he could only play games when he could get a weekend pass. Despite this handicap, he managed to score… Read more

I was blessed to have had a true basketball junkie as a father. He told me all about Elgin Baylor when I was growing up. He never saw him play due to living in Regina, Canada and the very limited basketball viewing opportunities (he used to drive down to Minot, ND just to watch televised basketball in the 70s) but… Read more

Biden grew up with a dad who was wealthy and fell on hard times. Rich kid turned poor kid in a broke mill town? You can believe he’s had to put his hands up and gave someone in his life. Rich kid who stayed rich wouldn’t have had to do that. Biden also just seems like the kind of guy who would grin when he fought, as… Read more

Funk was awesome. But he never learned, he must have wrestled the JYD 100 times back in the day, he would get control of the match, then for some reason, start trying to headbutt the JYD, always knocking himself silly. Always gave you yours money’s worth. Read more

This is a weird one to call. Trump has the height and weight advantage. He is also younger. However his body seems to be breaking down. Lower teeth are gone and he wears dentures. His hair is all fucked up and has some bizarre stretched pull up from the rear toward the top of his dome. He also is in bad shape.… Read more

Completely off topic, but just a general “Terry Funk is the best” story: A few of my friends went to an indy show he was working about 20 years ago, and he was signing autographs afterwards. One of my buddies handed him a WWF Magazine with Hulk Hogan on the cover and asked “Terry, can you sign this ‘Hulk Sucks’,… Read more

Articles like this make me miss living in the DMV area. All the drama in NoVa, the catholic league, and Maryland when it comes to high school basketball is addicting to me like crack was to Barry. Read more

If he is 20, I would advise him to go straight to college. I would tell him, don’t go back to Rockville and waste another year. Read more

Funny thing, we’re two years further down the road and the Kevin Johnson story remained a short lived NBA tale followed by a local run in Sactown, but completely disconnected the current freefall of famous men starting with that first domino the Very Piggish looking Mr Weinstein. For all of Johnson’s witnesses… Read more

This just floors me. Last night I sat watching a self-made man, real bootstrap kind of guy, address the nation and thought money had lost its grip on America. Read more

As a veteran basketball official, I never once called “Disconcerting the shooter” during a game. This guy somehow found a way to call it twice in one game. Read more

I lived in Falls Church next to Mason and didn’t even realize there was a Falls Church High School. Read more
