Brandon Jennings Is The Pterodactyl

by Jared Wade on November 21, 2009 at 2:43 pm

I’m not sure if you’ve heard this yet, but Brandon Jennings is incredible. Not only did he drop 55 points in his seventh career NBA game, but he’s averaging 25.2 ppg for the season on 48.2% shooting and 51.9% from three, which would not only be fantastic for, say, Steve Kerr, but is particularly impressive for a 20-year-old who fell to the 10th pick in the draft, at least in part, because he was said to possess a suspect jumper.

So, just FYI, we’ll now be referring to him as The Pterodactyl around these here webtubes. Matt Moore of Hardwood Paroxysm came up with it. djturtleface gave us the below illustration. And I think it’s a perfect fit for the kid who has inspired us to say “Chuck Norris is the white Brandon Jennings.”

Thus, it is now official. Put it on the board.

In related news, CDR is now The Dread Pirate Chris Douglas-Roberts courtesty of Russ Bengston Update your Outlook and Gmail contact lists accordingly.

Mostly, it’s just great to see all these early-year additions to the big board. Keep up the good work.

NBA Players Likes Cars and Houses

I was shocked too.

But in case you don’t believe it, here is Dime with video of rookie responses to the question: “What was the first thing you bought with your NBA money?”

The video is actually really dull, so here is the full run-down:

Brandon Rush: 2009 Escalade and condo in Indianapolis
CDR: Benz truck
Courtney Lee: condo, next thing will be a car
DJ Augustin: nothing yet — “Probably a car or something like that”
Derrick Rose: house for mom
JJ Hickson: 750 LI — “Had to do it big for a little bit”
Donte Green: house and car for grandma
Mario Chalmers: 2009 Escalade — “Black on black…Remember that”

GM doesn't need a bailout. They just need Stern to revoke the rookie salary cap.

GM don't need no bail-out. It just needs Stern to revoke the rookie salary cap.
