My exact thoughts while watching this video of 7’1” lottery pick Andrea Bargnani…
Wow, slick graphics. Number 11, why? … Here we go, Italian Celtics versus the Whities. To the net, up, dunk … Oh, baseline replay. Nice editing. Use that rim, protect, and in … Oh, one handed jump pass. Is that Calderon? Whitey pivot, lay-up– NO! GET THAT SHIT OUT! GUCCI! … Dribble back, pop and three. He’s got Dirk in those knees. What’s with that ball though? It looks like its inside out! … OK, ball passed inside, turn, boring dunk. Worst. Highlight. Ever. … At the top, dribbles hard left, beats man. Oh, here comes the help, switch hands, semi-facial. He splooged right on Whitey’s neck … Baseline replay again! Woah! Bargnani is Scottie Pippen in that NBA Jam halftime clip! Quarters! … Oh, more slick graphics. Bargnani hasn’t missed a shot. That, and he’s RIMBALZI DIFENSIVI 4. Sounds important. Sign him … Oh, forget basketball, nice personal shot of him here. Hold it, hold it– damn, he’s grabbing his shorts. Must be tired. Bust.
