I found this on Valley of the Suns (THN Suns blog) from a couple of days ago and couldn't be happier I did.
Steve Nash might be the funniest person in the NBA. I love this renaissance he has given himself over the past two years. He was always clever and pretty humorous but he's taken it to a whole other level recently.
Here is his latest video called Balls Talk. You'll know why it's called that soon enough.
This was actually hilarious to me and makes me like Chris Paul even more as a person and a player. This wasn't some horrible attempt at internet humor like what Amare Stoudemire and David Spade did. This was legit.
You can argue that Deron Williams is a better point guard in some respects but he's definitely not a better internet entertainer.
Weekly Fix Podcast, Episode 84 is the 1984, George Orwell, whatever weak connection we can make with the number 84 edition.
I don't have anything clever to write here so let's just get down to it. Here's what we discuss in the latest episode:
- Is tanking real? - Was Rodney Carney accurate in saying that it's impossible? - Should we believe that more or less teams are tanking? - So Gilbert Arenas and Javaris Crittenton went in the hot tub after their gun show... - Can beef be squashed in a hot tub? - The video below
Weekly Fix Podcast: Episode 83 and we really don't have much to talk about right now.
We're not ready to start going over playoff implications or playoff matchups because we simply don't feel like we should get into that stuff until... well... the playoffs start. And arguing award season is probably not necessary. Tyreke Evans is the ROY. LeBron James is the MVP. Kim Hughes is the Coach of the Year and so on. So here's what we came up with to discuss:
- Mike Dunleavy was fired for the second time this season (kind of). - Where do the Clippers go from here? - Kenyon Martin is going to inject blood into his knee instead of getting knee surgery. - How do the Nuggets match up with the team from Varsity Blues? - We discuss the embedded video movie trailer (below) of Just Wright. - How many mistakes can we find in just the trailer?
Mike Dunleavy still doesn't know exactly what happened. Tuesday afternoon he got a haircut, packed for a scouting trip to the ACC tournament, then went out to a local golf course for a couple hours.
Unbeknownst to him, and still unexplained to him as of late Tuesday night, during that time he was being fired as general manager of the Clippers.
And this:
"I had no idea what they were talking about. I'm like, 'Wow. I haven't even talked to the Clippers.'"
Clearly, I need to become an NBA GM. I spent a long day at work, and spent my lunch hour trying to run errands. Mike Dunleavy got a haircut, packed a suitcase, and played golf. And yet he still doesn't understand what went wrong.
Maybe if Mike Dunleavy had spent a little more time scouting players and a little less time playing golf, the Clippers wouldn't be so horrible. I'm not trying to suggest that Dunleavy never had days where he worked, but his Tuesday doesn't exactly seem like what I expect an NBA GM to be doing.
Perhaps Dunleavy was playing golf a lot leading up to the trade deadline. How else can he explain getting nothing more than Travis Outlaw and Steve Blake in return for Marcus Camby? Camby was widely considered one of the big prizes of the trade deadline. A big expiring contract attached to a player who can still play at a high level, that's the kind of player every contender wants. That's the type of player that should net you draft picks or pieces for the future. But Dunleavy got a back-up point guard and a decent swingman.
Stan Van Gundy chimed in on the firing, saying:
"No knock on Kim or anybody else, but they haven't exactly taken off since the coaching change,"
And Van Gundy is right, it's no knock on Kim Hughes. It's a knock on Dunleavy. You know, the guy who has had the last 7 years to build a franchise. Hughes is coaching the players that were handed to him. Dunleavy chose those players.
A final quote that cracks me up:
The decision came as a total shock to Dunleavy, he said, because he'd had dinner with Sterling earlier this week.
"We'd talked about what I'd seen on my scouting trips, about free agency," Dunleavy said. "I'd told him some of my ideas on how we should handle free agency and he says to me, 'That's smart, that's a good idea, I like that.'"
Good job, Mike. You gave you former boss the last bits of information he needed before firing you. Sterling knows what you had planned for free agency, information he can share with your replacement, and now he doesn't need you.
