What is happening?

Good question!  The world is caught in a stranglehold by a mysterious virus and one of the first notable casualties was the suspension of the 2019-2020 NBA season. SMASH CUT : the domino effect of cancelling live sports. SMASH CUT : ESPN floundering to replace that wealth of content with other sports-related content to fill this 24/7 media machine like replaying old playoff games of any sport one can think of, playing sports movies like ' Remember the Titans ', and, the old stand-by time-filler, LISTS . Lists about players or teams or sports or whatever one can make a list about to offer as content to the sports fans in this quarantine times.  Thus, ESPN's ranking the top 74 NBA players of all time -  https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/29105574/ranking-top-74-nba-players-all-nos-74-41 .  While ESPN was busy making this list in their quarantine, my wife and I have been busy rewatching ' Lost ' on Hulu . Obviously, I decided to take the logical next step and make

#24 - David Robinson is Juliet

Image
Fuck. Yeah. Juliet. DOCTOR. JULIET. BURKE. Put some stank on that name and give it the respect that it deserves(!!) AND, at the same time, it is just motherfucking Juliet to you and you, motherfucker. Juliet! Damn, I love Juliet. Juliet is fucking Madonna, is fucking Prince, is fucking Beyonce. It’s one name and it’s a lot with that one name. A whole lot. Juliet. There are some names on this show that are powerful one names like Michael or Sun where they have a full name, but yeah when you hear that one name or read it in this case and then say it in your brain it’s as people on the social medias might say and has already been coopted by boring ass people like me - it’s a whole ‘mood’. Juliet.  Sex. Violence. Villainy. Betrayal. Salvation. Hero. She’s truly one of the most complex characters on the show and she also bangs three white men on the island. Juliet! But of course. Juliet is a doctor turned miracle worker turned into the ‘pistol-grip pump in my lap at all times’ stone cold ki

#25 - Kawhi Leonard is Daniel Faraday

HELLO!!!! Oh my jizm, it’s been so long! So long, since my last post and guess what? NOTHING DIFFERENT IS GOING ON! It’s still terrible! It’s never getting better! We’re still living in pandemic times, we’re still hoping republicans stop other republicans from starting a new civil war, we’re still just as fucked as ever. COOL! COOL! COOL! And we’re staring down a starting date of a new NBA season without THE BUBBLE. Wait, did I/we never talk about the bubble? Wow. It has been a while and the Los Angeles Lakers are the NBA champions of this past season, which ended a couple months ago and now a new one is starting up I think next week. The Bubble fucking worked! It worked and no one got COVID and the games were great and everything made sense. Of course, why do that again? Why try to repeat success? Why try to repeat success while you can do whatever else aka the NFL is doing and fuck everything up just like them? I guess it’s just more exciting to haphazardly give players, coaches, an

#26 - Dwyane Wade is Rose

Image
Fuck styles?! Let’s cut the bullshit and talk about Rose’s fuck style- ALREADY! Passionate, no nonsense, tells you what she likes and you better stick to that, and you better not lack enthusiasm for it because she’s both figuratively and literally not standing for some half-assed sexing and will get herself off if need be. Done it before, will do it again, either do the job right or get out the boat. She likes sex on boats. Maybe the last bit isn’t canon, not sure. Anyway, is this how I think Dwyane Wade is with sex? Um, honestly, no, but I think it’s what he’s attracted to. Yeah, I feel like that may describe Gabrielle Union better, but there’s a connection there with that and sex is about making a connection and that I think Dwyane Wade, 3x NBA Champion is into that. FUCK STYLES! I’ve always liked Dwyane Wade and I’ve always liked Rose. I don’t know why I had a little positive bias towards some colleges like Marquette, but I had one and Dwyane Wade was on my radar because of that. So

#27 - Giannis Antetokounmpo is Achara

Image
GREEK FREAK. Hands down the funniest and best nickname in THE league today. At least, off the top of my head that’s the #1 spot. Ok, so if you watch THE league then you know who the hell Giannis Antetokounmpo. As for Achara? Do you remember Achara? This is a deep cut character, I’ll say that. Although, Achara does share a good chunk of one episode with Dr. Jack- yeah, it’s one episode. One weird episode. One problematic episode, probably. So, it’s the alluring Phuket, Thailand tattooist mystic and the fucking GREEK FREAK.  First and foremost, I was shocked to see Giannis on this list. I’m not a Giannis skeptic or Giannis truther or anything- dude is incredible. He’s 6’11” and moves like the wind and is really enjoyable to watch cut through guys and, at times, score at will. But… uhhhh… give me a fucking break. NUMBER TWENTY SEVEN?! OF ALL-TIME. Remember when I was shocked to see Anthony Davis on this list? Remember when I was shocked to see Damian Lillard on this list? Like either of t

#28 - John Stockton is James Ford aka Sawyer

Image
I’m right. I’m fucking right! There’s gonna be a lot of pushback on this one and it’s because most people are wrong and don’t know what they’re talking about. Ok. Just saying. But like most absolutely brilliant breakthrough moments of human history, the light of truth is so blinding that people are squinting or having closed their eyes at first and once their stupid fucking retinas’ rods and cones just accept the light and reality then it all comes into focus and they can fucking see that THE greatest assistman and stealsman and, easily, one of the greatest to ever play the poszish of point guardsman - John motherfucking Stockton - is THE island’s favorite thief, con artist, nickname machine, old popcultural referencer, avid book reader, and, generally forgiven racist Republican blowhard (REDUNDANT MUCH!) James Ford aka Sawyer.  Absolutely, no fucking one will break either of the longest time Utah Jazzman’s assist or steals records. No fucking one. Seriously, there are some professiona

#29 - Allen Iverson is Kate Austen

Image
Fuck. Been waiting on this one for a minute. LET ME REITERATE- this list by ESPN is RANKING the NBA players and my list is NOT RANKING the ‘Lost’ characters. I’m just reiterating that for the dozenth time because THAT’S HOW MUCH I LIKE SOME OF THESE ‘LOST’ CHARACTERS. So, NOT FOR A SECOND, do you get the chance to think that I am not ride or die with the King herself Kate Austen. Yes, she’s a King. She’s royalty both in America and on THE island and on our television sets. King Kate Austen, a true icon as a thief, a fighter, a crier, a lover, a fighter, a friend, a killer, a tracker, a caretaker, a bank robber, a passionate low rise jean wearer, a liar, a moral compass, a rising phoenix of a well-tailored blazer with skirt or suit pants wearer, an avid climber, and, strangely, a complete innocent as to how a towing cable works on a truck. I very much am a big fan of Kate Austen. And that is one reason as to why Kate is one of my favorite basketball players of all-MOTHERFUCKING-time All

#30 - Steve Nash is Helen Norwood

Image
Givers. Objectively, very attractive white people who have looked very attractive in a variety of hairstyles, but, yes, givers. Givers and speedy and they know what they want and they’re giving it to you to take. And you’ve seen them with like long hair and shoulder length hair and like ponytail and like flared out hair and they look good with all those looks. They’ve got looks and they serve them is what I think I’m saying. Serving looks and serving basketballs to larger basketballers to put those basketballs into the hoop for them and serving peace and confidence to lonely angry men who are obsessed with their very abusive fathers. Ok, so the former is more for the former and the latter is more for the latter, but they’re kind of the same thing at their core and that’s kind of what the point of this blog is, right? NASH! NORWOOD! LET’S GO! Stephen John Nash OC OBC. What the fuck is that? CANADIANS! And he isn’t even like ‘from’ Canada. Dude’s from English/Welsh parents and was born i
