Just a Few Weird Things From Last Night

Let’s start off with JaVale McGee:

Has anyone ever heard of whale ears? Do whales even have ears?

And can someone tell me what this means?

How We Know Jimmer Didn’t Make It

Jimmer Fredette was “the man” in college, although he couldn’t fully capitalize on being “the man” at BYU—if you know what I mean.

Anyway, he’s much less “the man” now that he’s in the NBA, and nothing proves that fact more than his sneaker sponsor. He didn’t get Nike. Even Reebok and Adidas passed.

But check out who didn’t.

Spalding! Every player’s dream!

Check out the sneakers here.

Steve Francis Finds a New Career?

Like many players, Steve Francis came to the New York Knicks and his basketball career instantly went downhill, ultimately leading to his retirement in 2008 at age 31. However, the early end to his basketball career didn’t damper Francis’ spirits, and the former all-star point guard went into music.

Without further ado, here’s Francis’ “Finer Things.” Thank me (or, more likely, look up my address so you can shoot me) later.

I think it’s safe to say it would behoove Francis to find another use for his time and money.

Not the Best Choice

Apparently Jeff Green is hungry.

So first of all, the Boston Celtic who missed the entire season after undergoing heart—yes, heart—surgery wants food that definitely isn’t good for his heart. Secondly, if someone would deliver you food upon request, wouldn’t you ask for something better anyway?

Go figure.

Booby’s Latest Statement on the World

Daniel Gibson has struck again with another “fact” about life.

Tony Allen’s Joke Gets No Love

Wanna hear a joke?

Don’t worry, the punchline’s not there, though Tony Allen’s sentence structure is rather comical.

There it is!

That’s What She Said

Sorry, couldn’t resist. Just assume Jared Dudley isn’t talking about Phoenix’s must-win game tonight against the Utah Jazz.

Blast From the Past: Slava Medvedenko

You’re in the majority if you’ve never heard of Slava Medvedenko, especially if you’re not a Laker fan. However, while his seven-year career was rather mediocre—and that’s being very generous—Slava produced one of the funnier interviews you’ve never seen.

That leaves us with our quote of the day: “Eh, you know… I just do deedidengenoff.”

Another Glen Davis Self-Photo

Big Baby loves taking photos of himself, and I like when he takes these photos because he always makes a funny pose.

Booby’s Advice of the Night

Before signing off of Twitter, Daniel Gibson chose to share some words of wisdom:

Can You Guess What JaVale McGee Ate For Lunch?

JaVale McGee went out to lunch this afternoon, tweeting a picture of the menu and telling his followers to guess what he ordered.

Pretty obvious the seven foot goofball/doofus got the “Big Azz Gyro.”

Gerald Green’s No Mathematician

After spending more than two years out of the NBA, Gerald Green earned a 10-day contract with the New Jersey Nets in February and made the most of it. He’s averaging 13.1 points per game, drawing lots of attention in the process.

Jonathan Abrams of Grantland wrote a feature on Gerald Green’s return to the NBA. Last year, Green signed with a team in China but was cut early in the season after the team’s slow start. Abrams quoted the former dunk contest winner:

“In China, what was so messed up is you play 35, 36 games,” he said. “We had only played four games and you’re already making decisions? We’ve still got another 34 games left.”

Green, who made the jump from high school to the NBA, clearly could use a simple lesson in mathematics. 4+34 = 38 Not 35 or 36.

In all seriousness, check out Abrams’ feature—especially if you’re in need of a pick-me-up.

In case people cared, Glen Davis tweeted a picture of himself on an airplane.

Eyes in the Back of Your…

My mom always told me she could see what I was doing with the eyes in the back of her head. Looks like Nick Young of the Washington Wizards knows someone with another special talent.

Calling Bruno Out

Looks like someone is sick of Bruno Mars’ excessive, exaggerated love lyrics. That person is Hassan Whiteside of the Sacramento Kings.

I know there are some people out there who really hope Bruno Mars would take the grenade.

Relax Pilgrim!

This form of the tweet makes the typer somewhat ambiguous… Metta World Peace starts writing at “My daughter.”

JaVale on the iPhone

Not sure if this is actually funny or only because JaVale McGee said it. You decide.

Juwanna Green

As you’d expect, this tweet wasn’t sent by Green himself. One of his buddies hacked his account, but, hey, it’s under Green’s name.

You’ve Got a Friend in Me

Roy Hibbert had 21 points, 12 rebounds and four blocks last night, AND his Indiana Pacers beat the Oklahoma City Thunder. However, the night wasn’t full of highlights, especially for Hibbert.

Thankfully, his old college buddy Patrick Ewing Jr. reminded him of the low-light.

No One Else is Complaining

J.R. Smith is from New Jersey, so he should be accustomed to the cold. However, this bus ride out of Orlando is a little too frigid for the shooting guard.

First person to interpret that hashtag can have a guest post. I’m half-serious because I’m completely lost after “#freeze.”

Oh, by the way, I’m following every tweeting Knick, and J.R. is the only one complaining about this.

JaVale the Ease Dropper

Forget the fact that JaVale McGee misspelled “eavesdrop” and “metal.”

What I’m really wondering is how a goofy seven-footer could possibly ease drop, eavesdrop, whatever on a conversation. Knowing JaVale, he probably thought he was being super sly but really couldn’t have been more obvious.

Not only in NY… Only when you’re an idiot who hasn’t learned the value of not judging based on appearance, which is taught to us by Curb Your Enthusiasm.
