Donte Greene

Chocolate Alpo With Mustard

Bobby Jackson is one of the most likable players in the League. For the past decade, all he’s done is play the combo-guard role perfectly and stick big threes. I’ve never heard a disparaging word about the guy and, from the way he interacts with other players, it seems everyone thinks he’s a cool dude.

Aside from Donte Greene, that is.

The back-story on this is that the veterans on the Sacremende Kings have taken to filling the team’s rookies’ cars with popcorn if they fail to properly perform their duties. Jason Thompson, for example, had his car filled for repeatedly forgetting to bring bagels to shootaround. Not long after, Donte Green got similar treatment plus the phrase “Season Aint Over Rook” care of Bobby Jackson for forgetting to bring fresh fruit. Unlike Thompson, however, Greene vowed not to take the hazing lying down.

And, naturally, he fought back by covering Bobby’s CL Benz in dog food, chocolate syrup, soy sauce, ketchup and mustard. Kinda weak since it’s all fixable with a hose, but there is a photo and I’m sorta busy, so here ya go. (via Sactown Royalty via Ball Don’t Lie)

I mean, if I had a nickel for every time some one told me “it’s your commitment to posting marginally interesting photos with unremarkable back-stories that really separates Both Teams Played Hard from all the other basketball blogs,” I would have…um, well…many nickels. Probably enough to fill a car even.

No confirmation on whether or not that’s what Kings rookie Jason Thompson ended up doing, but his teammates sure did fill his ‘Sca-lade (a term that Spencer Hawes uses not once but twice in the video below) with buttery popcorn as punishment for not bringing them bagels. (via Ball Don’t Lie)

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.
