Joe Smith Likes Pepperoni
I just caught this Bucks/Raps report by SLAM’s Canadian correspondent Clement Chu. It’s a pretty fun read, if only for Chu’s pre-game locker room insight. Some quick hits:
- “With earphones on, Andrew Bogut was in the middle of the room getting rubbed down while singing something completely incomprehensible at the top of his lungs.”
- “Mike James was yet again, engaged in a passionate discussion with some beat reporters about sport issues. Today’s topics: The unfair treatment of Barry Bonds and why Wayne Gretzky gets off scott-free but Janet Jones doesn’t.”
- “Joe Smith was hiding out in his locker chowing down on a pepperoni slice.”
Note: I think basketball fans everywhere would benefit by allowing me frequent access to NBA locker rooms. Seriously. How do we make this happen? Anybody? SLAM? Chu? Mr. Stern? Let me know…

I’ve been trying to get the Blazers to give me a press pass all year. I’ve gotten as far as the assitant to the intern secretary, but nothing has come of it yet.
I say we all start an alliace for basketball bloggers to get press passes, we work just as hard as the regular media. Let’s get it done! Any suggestions? Trust me I would have you there every game Skeets.
Yes, I’m all for press access for us. Maybe I’ll harrass a Clippers rep this Saturday.
Hey, has Mike James been crazy all year? I posted about the article in the Star today with his crazy quotes, but have I been missing out on another crazy NBA player’s antics?
