I have no idea why this was coordinated or what these dudes are actually up to (it has to be sponsor-related, one would imagine), but both these guys appear to be instinctively traveling down the paths of rhythm. In case you can’t tell, that’s Kevin Durant embracing his inner BBD in the first photo and, in the second one, we have Andre Igoudala rocking the four-fingered rings as his new alter-ego, Chief Blocka, who you can now follow @ChiefBlocka.
Both photos came directly from the players themselves through Twitter on the same night that Stephon Marbury captivated the world with a legendary Ustream session. (For those who haven’t caught any of the Steph, JR Smith, Dwight Howard or Chris Bosh appearances on Ustream and have no idea what I’m talking about, it essentially means that the player broadcasts a live video blog of themselves talking. Check the details here. Generally, the players have used this self-controlled face time with fans to answer questions sent in via Twitter and, last night, Starbury was, well, Starbury. Unfortunately, you had to have been there live to listen in, as there is no archive or replay. But don’t fret; JE Skeets covered it in great detail.)
All in all, it’s starting to appear that NBA players are the only people with more time on their hands than NBA bloggers. Silly multimillionaires.

Yeah Steph’s UStream was legendary! From him saying “wicked retarded” in a Boston accent, to stopping to write his maid a check, to just some real down-to-earth talk about life, it was awesome. It also sounds like he has wittled his choices for 2009-10 to taking the Celts’ one year offer or going to Europe…
