Wait for It…
Unless your name is Raja Bell, Wednesday night in the NBA was legen…dary.
Shaq suits up for the Suns. Kobe sons Shaq.
JKidd suits up for the Mavs. CP3 has gotta be kidding.
Bibby suits up for the Hawks in Sacramento. Everyone is happy there are no horrible puns involved.
Seriously though, look at the lines for Chris Paul, Kobe and Amare, and Superman and CB4. Meanwhile, ho hum, LeBron is now two-for-two on triple doubles since winning the All Star Game MVP. And, hell, we even got some legit effort out of Vinsanity tonight as he nearly dropped a trip-dub himself while leading the Nets to an OT victory over the Bulls. Nothing motivates like a true love for the game, I guess. Well, nothing like a last-ditch audition to get yourself traded out of East Rutherford, New Jersey, anyway.
Barney, of course, also suits up.
Yet, despite all these on-the-court shenanigans, Shaq still manages to steal the show. No, not with his moderately impressive debut in a home loss. But with a post-game press conference that featured these gems.
“You Earthlings think I can’t run anymore. But Steve Nash has told me to get my Randy Moss on.”
“I told [Raja] it was an accident. And I told him in Spanish.”
“Steve Nash is a hip hop version of Scottie Skiles…The Canadian Eminem version.”
What can I say? I’m now officially excited for the Diesel Era in Phoenix.
