Why Is This an NBA Blog? Because There Are No Fours

What’s that you say? Lamar Odom in a Snoop Dogg joint? (via Skeet on Micha)
Yes, please.
(Although it’s actually called Snoop Dogg’s Hood of Horror and checks in with a oh-so-fresh 11% on Rotten Tomatoes to go along with a respectable 4.0/10 on IMDb.)

I don’t think I’ve posted anything about Lamar’s summer cause, frankly, who gives a damn? He’s one of thousands of dudes in LA who married some famous-for-no-reason girl. Good for him, I suppose. Hope they have a wonderful life together.
Although, it is funny to see them run around the promotional rounds to promote … er … I’m not sure what exactly. Lamar is on a pretty popular NBA team that I believe already has a pretty lucrative TV contract and fan following in place. Of course, I guess it is beneficial for his post-NBA career to become more well-known outside of just NBA circles now. And I suppose Khloe has some TV show or something maybe? If we’re being honest, I barely know who she is.
Anyway, I post this because it’s Kimmel, who is generally funny and does good NBA-related stuff on the reg, and because it’s pretty hilarious that Khloe doesn’t even know who the Lakers beat in the Finals last year. Lamar also calls Jimmy a “little freak.” All in all, good times. (hat tip to @ticktock6 of Hornets Hype)
If you only have five minutes, however, definitely skip the Kimmel thing and instead watch the next video. Here, Ed Lover gives his thoughts on Khlodom (at the 3:20 mark) in the latest episode of “C’Mon Son,” which, in case you have been hiding under a rock somewhere, is easily the best thing to happen to the internet in the year two thousand and nine.
I won’t spoil it for you, but he compares Khloe to the mascot of a children’s cereal. This, however, begs the more hoops-related question: If you were to compare any member of the Lakers to a cereal cartoon character, who would it be and why? Show your work in the comments.

I am not using the end of the Finals as an excuse to disappear for the summer. We will be here forever. Forever and ever. And ever and ever.
But some things are afoot — top secret special new things have come to light things — and between that and a few long-form, still-simmering-on-the-stove things that I need the weekend to finish up, time restraints round this way have precluded me from helping provide the nation with what it desperately needs. (Luckily, Sports Guy was here for that. This was predictable, but, c’mon, Bill, we don’t need you wasting your time rebutting foolishness. I guess he won’t be buying this.)
Sorry bout that. But really, what’s left to say? Matt Moore of Hardwood Paroxysm pretty much summed it up. (Although Shaq did it even better.) If Odom are Ariza played well, the Lakers weren’t going to lose. And that’s what happened. Maybe the Magic can turn it around in Game 6? We’ll see.
So where does Kobe rank on the All-Time list now? Slam just “remixed” the Top 50 Players of All Time and has him at #12 (although they did it prior to the Finals).
And, yeah, it’s 6:00 on a Friday so I’m gonna go ahead and consider this collection of nothing an actual post. Meanwhile, look, a photo from @lowposts with the caption: “Well now you’re just bein’ an asshole, Michael.”
Yes, I know, digging all this up proves that I’m quite the investigative journalist. Bring on the Pulitzer.
UPDATE: Can’t believe I forgot these three photos of the Waltons. And just for fun, here’s Kobe vs. MJ in the 1998 All-Star Game.
