Against the Blazers huh? Perhaps Oden has passed the curse off to someone else.

*golf clap*

Hey, when you have the second pick in the draft and you can take the next Manute Bol, you have to do it.

Nicely done, subby!!

Man, I'd already forgotten this guy was in the league.

Kudos, subby.

My wife was a Gloria Estefan fan, for reasons I'll never understand. Saw her in concert in Miami at the turn of the millenium.

/cool story, bro.

That's the first useful thing Randolph has ever done for the Blazers.

Gloria Estefan?

It has come to the point where any headline that involves Thabeet is eligible for Headline of the Week.

I saw Thabeet play soccer with Steve Nash in Vancouver. It was really weird seeing him go up for headers on corner kicks and be well above the crossbar.

Kid had some soccer skills, I was surprised (but looked awkward as fark dribbling).

I saw a couple of the UCONN games during March Madness last year. 7'3 is ridiculously tall even next to other ridiculously tall basketball players. And his hands look way too big for his body. The guy looks like a cartoon.

FTFA: He had scored four points and grabbed 11 rebounds in his previous six games

That's not good at all. The Grizz can't catch a damn break this year.

Chad Ochocinco (God, I hate that name, but at least it's original) has some soccer skills, as well.
Both guys, minus their height, look more built for soccer than their respective sports.

As a UConn alum, allow me to clarify something:

Thabeet sucks

I hope the Grizzlies have a deep bench. It's going to be hard to replace his .67 points and 1.83 rebounds per game.

The other guy in that photo is the steal of the most recent draft: DeJuan Blair.

Nice jorb, Subby!

Gloria Estefan? You kids don't 'member Vicki Sue Robinson?

Came in here to say this. Good to see there are some other old codgers around here.

I was making the "turn thabeet around" joke 2 years ago while watching the NCAA tourney.

its still funny to me, damnit.

Damn you, subby. I heard that song while flipping through radio stations the other day and had JUST gotten it out of my head when I saw your headline. Damn you right to hell. >=(

Worse comes to worse he'll go back to Tanzania with enough money to buy a province and enough left over to staff it.

AboveTheStarsOfGod: FTFA: He had scored four points and grabbed 11 rebounds in his previous six games

That's not good at all. The Grizz can't catch a damn break this year.

If by catch a break, you mean "use a draft pick well," then yes.

Indeed; by "catch a break" I meant "get impressive results from a No.2 overall freaking draft pick." I also meant "use a future-HOF guard well and keep him from storming off your team" and "win more than a game."

Freakin' hilarious subby

Iverson is not a Hall of Famer.

You may not think he should be but he will be.

He was an MVP. Unless something changes, every MVP gets into the HOF after they retire.

It sucked to have him fall that low in the draft, but ultimately I'm glad he's on the Spurs. Backing up Timmy and the rest of the Spurs front line is the perfect role for Blair starting out. Also, the Spurs organization plus Popovich's coaching will do him well and I guarantee he will become a fan favorite.

As a Pitt alum and basketball fan, I have few better sports memory than the photo you posted where Blair body-slammed Thabeet. I'm looking forward to seeing the two of them meet in the NBA (assuming Thabeet stays in the league long enough for this to happen).

The only problem with drafting Thabeet is you constantly read poorly written headlines utilizing songs that use the words "the beat" in them.

Oh and why would I go watch the Grizzlies when I can watch a college team for less than half the price and most seasons is a better team. It's going to be a tough year for the tigers but it always is when all your signees are at a different college. That said it'll be fine next year and I can resume paying less than half the price to watch a better team.

Chunks McGunks: Oh and why would I go watch the Grizzlies when I can watch a college team for less than half the price and most seasons is a better team.

You can go see UM play some chump schools for less than half the price. If you want to go see them play any worthwhile team it is about the same price.

Yeah except it's $40 to see the griz in the upper decks it's $40 to see them play Syracuse in any seat in the house.

and by "them" I of course mean the Tigers

Chunks McGunks: and by "them" I of course mean the Tigers

Ah ha. Well I stand corrected. Im just a bigger fan of the NBA so I was being biased I guess. Good luck to both your teams.

Great headline.

PowerSlacker: Iverson is not a Hall of Famer.

FTFY. Whatever you think about him, he's a no-doubter.

FreakinB: PowerSlacker: Iverson is not a Hall of Famer.

I completely agree. Even ignoring his size his ppg make him a hall of famer. I just hope the authorities flay Tyrone Lue and display his pelt by AI's exhibit in Springfield.

Excellent headline.

Nice headline, subby. Well played, sir!

Headline of the week

"That's a great headline and I'm gonna let you finish in justa minute, but I just want to say that the Go-Gos had the best Thabeet play on words of all time..."


"We got Thabeet..We got Thabeet"

Ok. Sorry about that. I'm going to sit back down now.

do you know what Thabeet is doing to the soil?

fabulous headline subby.
