Efficient Blogger

scorerSo I was watching the TNT broadcast of the Pistons-Bucks game last night and I was a little perplexed when I saw Rip Hamilton at the free throw line.

This was listed under his name:

Team Role: Efficient Scorer

Umm… (head scratch) … How dumb do these people think we are? If we write in and spell his name correctly do we get the free Pistons colouring book? (I think I can stay inside the lines of Big Ben’s ‘fro this time!)

This is what TNT should have written under some of the Pistons’ names:

Richard Hamilton:
Scary Dude You Slowly Walk Away From

Rasheed Wallace:
Will Bark Like Dog Until He’s T’d Up

Antonio McDyess:
So McNice You’ll Invite Him To Breakfast

Ben Wallace:
Makes Others Wet Themselves By Smiling At Them

Tayshaun Prince:
Scrawny Kid No One Thought Could Play

    I’d make McDyess sing “Back At One” by Brian McKnight before I gave him pancakes…

    Chauncey Billups
    Makes opposing point guards look small and weak.

  4. Having fun with TNT’s “team roles” at Detroit Bad Boys at 2:39 pm on 04.24.2006

    […] We mentioned those “team roles” that TNT lists for each player (i.e., Rip Hamilton is Detroit’s “Efficient Scorer,” Jamaal Magliore is Milwaukee’s “Space Eater”) in our real-time recap for Sunday’s game. Tas Melas over at The Basketball Jones also thought they were a little odd, and he decided he’d list his own roles for the Pistons: Rasheed Wallace: Will Bark Like Dog Until He’s T’d Up […]

    It seemed weird to me too. Is there a reason I only noticed this for a Pistons player? The entire NBA world is on its knees for these five guys…

    well Sean, they are well deserving five guys… who else in the league would make you wet yourself by smillin at you other then Big Ben???

    Can you imagine him coming at you while your drivin to the net??

    I seem to remember one for Jamaal Magloire. It was “Space-Eater.”

    Tas, I’d say you’re more of a streaky scorer

    WOW! TNT just labeled Gil “Volume Shooter and Scorer”
    That sounds like a male porn star’s business card
