Dedicated to the premise that life would be better if we all took ourselves a little less seriously.

My new favorite television commercial
This bumps the Wendy's "Raaaaaaaaaaanch" and Starbucks "Glen's the man...going to work" ads as the new personal favorite (though it still does not top Geico's "Tiny House" spot):
after a gtb mini-summit on the basketball court last night, i've decided that our run needs more mediocre, short, old guys so i have people i can check.
As much as I enjoy telling people that "I DON'T WANT YOUR LIFE.", my new favorite commercial is the Geico ad with the Camel walking around his office on Wednesday. HUMP DAY!
The Danny Green for Finals MVP story is fascinating (to me). It would be almost unprecedented. Almost every player to win the Finals MVP is a 100% HoF lock or at least All-NBA material. Out of 44 Finals MVPs, only guy who wasn't a perennial all-star is Cedric Maxwell
The next "worst" players are: JoJo White, Dennis Johnson, James Worthy, Joe Dumars, and Chauncey Billups.
After that it's Paul Pierce and Tony Parker. And after that, it's all MVP (or seem like they should be MVP) guys.
We can start going Basketball Reference on this, but as much as I do love Dennis Johnson, both Paul Pierce and Tony Parker have had (and will have) better careers than DJ.
yes

ReplyDeleteI need new knees.
ReplyDeleteI'm in the market for a new Achilles..and two more hours of sleep.

ReplyDeleteusmnt and nba finals action this evening. good, good times.
ReplyDeleteBut no TMNT.
ReplyDeleteWho are you kidding, Rob? You'll be asleep before either game ends.
ReplyDeletei *am* feeling a bit sleep deprived. but i think i'll make the end of the usmnt game.
ReplyDeleteStaggered into Kelly's last night in time for the bikini contest. Oh, my. What I remember of it makes me shudder and laugh.
ReplyDeletebig day, mets fans. harvey and wheeler. the future is now. 'cept for that offense, of course.
ReplyDeleteGeneration K-2. Looking like it's going to dominate the league.

Not to nitpick, but I think Paul Pierce and Tony Parker are easily better than JoJo White, Dennis Johnson and Chauncey Billups.
ReplyDeleteAgree with JoJo and Chauncey. Not on DJ though. Underrated historically.
ReplyDeleteWe can start going Basketball Reference on this, but as much as I do love Dennis Johnson, both Paul Pierce and Tony Parker have had (and will have) better careers than DJ.
ReplyDeleteI agree Teej, but only if we don't include freckles.
ReplyDeleteI mean, christ, if freckles are included, DJ is only surpassed by Jeremy Hyatt in Hall of Fame voting.
ReplyDeleteCedric Maxwell's circumcision story is one of the funniest things I ever heard on radio.
ReplyDeletewill he be an upcoming guest on "Zman and The Teej"? I heard a local Atlanta sports talker has a new opening for a morning show duo.
ReplyDeleteI started with the worst players and then worked up to the better players.
ReplyDeleteI should probably have added a few more guys to the Pierce-Parker tier like Unseld, Reed, Barry, and Wade. Still all clear HoFers though.
i do not know the cornbread bris story. care to share?
ReplyDeleteOMG--I love this commercial with Mox! Not as much as I love QB1 Lance, but pretty close.
ReplyDeletei am loving the "soul with a hole" mix-up, zman. thanks.

ReplyDeleteHis mother has some balls.
ReplyDeleteTim Duncan is still good at basketball.
ReplyDeleteIndeed. That was an epic first half by him.
ReplyDeleteD-Nice! I'm takin out ya suckers and you don't know how I did it.
ReplyDeleteSimmons has hands like a girl.
ReplyDeletethat maxwell story is preposterous
ReplyDeleteI don't know if that clip has the whole thing. In the end he's still upset he didn't get ice cream.
ReplyDeleteSo ... Aaron Hernandez lives in North Addleboro? And he kills people?
ReplyDeleteRemoving lebron's headband cold be the key to this series.
ReplyDeleteMiami is populated with douchebags.
ReplyDeleteTwo very true statements.
ReplyDeleteF-ing LeBron
ReplyDeleteWhy does he need to ruin the night for Duncan?
Lebron looks ten times tougher sans headband.
ReplyDeleteMet wins for Wheeler & Harvey, a win by the USMNT, why does David Stern have to call in the fix to ruin a perfect night?
ReplyDeleteTony Parker--wow
ReplyDeleteDuncan!
ReplyDeleteoh
ReplyDeletemy
God
This game isn't bad.
ReplyDeleteWhy did they need a replay? Is it mandatory?
ReplyDeleteAnd how shook is Kawhi Leonard?
ReplyDeleteI think Rob went to bed.
ReplyDeleteBosh may have saved his career with that rebound
ReplyDeleteI have to get up early tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteBosh still looks like the love child of Willie McGee and Dave Chappelle.
ReplyDeleteHow do NBA players not stand up and beat the everliving shit out of the loser fans behind the road bench?
ReplyDeleteMarls, when did you stop rocking the headband?
ReplyDeleteIs ginobili allowed to take four steps like Ewing?
ReplyDeleteManu took about 8 steps before he allegedly got fouled.
ReplyDeleteGet out of my brain Z. It's messy in there.
ReplyDeletethe Miami fans don't deserve a game 7 in their arena
ReplyDeleteI think I need to start rocking the headband and having white outs in the office.
ReplyDeleteSniffing white out?
ReplyDeleteMiami fans don't even deserve professional sports. Front running, pajama wearing, douchebags.
ReplyDeleteDo the even make White Out anymore? If not, what is Mike Nesmith's mom doing for cash?
ReplyDeleteGood morning Rob. Hope you slept well. You missed a hell of an ending.
ReplyDeleteThat was a seriously awesome basketball game.
