Ep. 224: The Story Of The Bullet Fedora


The Basketball Jones — The Fix — Episode 224 (.mp3)

On today’s show, Tas, JD and I reenact an actual phone conversation we had with Warriors’ guard — and fellow blogger — Baron Davis late last week. (Yes, JD plays BD.) Once and for all, come hear the truth behind that infamous bullet fedora!

We also discuss: LeBron’s thoughts on Ford’s fall, whether these C’s can realistically make a run at 70, and much, much more.

Today’s overall rating: 5 All-Star Shimmies!

    White Zombie AND Modest Mouse?!?! Bold. I’m impressed.

    Great show, guys.

    Shimmies well deserved for having Baron Doyle on!

  3. Dave at 11:35 am on 12.13.2007

    Hey guys, do you have a link for that conference call with Baron? Can’t seem to find it…

  4. goathair at 11:39 am on 12.13.2007

    JD’s ‘UGGGHGHHHH’ was hilarious. I snorted.

    “You lose to weird teams.”

  5. Sarge at 12:14 pm on 12.13.2007

    No way…an email from a Boston fan talking about how good they are and how little respect they get? Get out…

  6. J.E. Skeets at 12:21 pm on 12.13.2007

    @Dave: There is no link to the real audio. Baron’s “peeps” couldn’t allow permission to air it on the show because they’d get in trouble with the NBA or something. Sucks, I know. He was fantastic.

    @goat: JD nailed that part. Give him the Oscar now.

    here’s some help kids

    Teairra Mari is this chick.

    and for you raptor fans

    Lets go mop girl. :)

  8. Billy W. at 12:43 pm on 12.13.2007

    Yo yo. I think Baron was referring to “Thierry Henry,” the French soccer player, when he said “Thea Marie” or whatever.

  9. J.E. Skeets at 12:49 pm on 12.13.2007

    Thierry Henry, eh? I’ll buy that. Though it sounded NOTHING at all like it …

  10. Tas Melas at 12:57 pm on 12.13.2007

    Oh boy, LOL. I wanna believe it’s Teairra Mari.

  11. Jamie Mottram at 1:33 pm on 12.13.2007

    That was better than the real thing, guys. JD is the balls.

  12. KD at 1:41 pm on 12.13.2007

    Oh, how I wish that clip of LeBron James leering at mop girl was on YouTube.

    JD, balls.

  13. Messy at 2:06 pm on 12.13.2007

    He was probably saying Tia Mowry, from “Sister, Sister” (do you guys get the WB in Canada?)

    Baron is pretty famous for knowing every super-fine young actress in Hollywood

    And it looks like she played at Baron and Paul Pierce’s celeb tourney in LA.

  14. J.E. Skeets at 2:09 pm on 12.13.2007

    Don’t the Raps have TWO mop girls now? Or well, one and a half at least? Am I dreaming this?

  15. JG at 2:13 pm on 12.13.2007

    JD > Caliendo

  16. Alan at 3:07 pm on 12.13.2007

    Blazers get shunned again

  17. J.E. Skeets at 3:10 pm on 12.13.2007

    @Alan: What!? I gave ‘em a 3rd of a headline AND said we thought about talkin’ about ‘em.

    Blame LeBron’s mouth and Tas’ passion for fighting.

  18. goathair at 3:28 pm on 12.13.2007

    But don’t blame JD’s method acting.

  19. Daniel Turman at 6:38 pm on 12.13.2007

    It was Thierry Henry, he just pronounced it all Frenchy style so it sounded like “Teena Marie.”

  20. Alan at 6:42 pm on 12.13.2007

    how about you do a ’showin some love’ segment to the blazers if they win against the Jazz on friday?
