I’ve Got The Power

I was lucky enough to get 3rd row tickets to the Raps-Pacers game this past Sunday. My homey Mike Nomi gets freebies a lot so I got the invite. There’s no way I would pay for those ducats myself – they’re like 200 bucks a pop. Although the view is ridiculously good, I’m not a fan of getting nasty looks from the suits every time I scream “Jorge”! I’d rather sit up with the real fans in the nosebleeds. Who am I kidding? I wish I were sitting with the Armanis and Bosses.

What the seat did give me was a close up look at these guys’ tendencies and facial expressions. When Jorge Garbajosa was at the line I saw him mouthing something to himself. It must have been in Espanol no doubt, but Garbo got me thinking: What have other ballers said to themselves as they stepped to the stripe? Feel free to add to this list.

Doug Christie – I love you baby. You’re my everything. *Shoots 1st free throw* I love you baby. You’re my everything. Did I say it the 1st time? Oh man. She is gonna kill me. I’m sorry baby. I’m sorry.

Shawn Kemp – This one’s for my baby mama, my other baby mama, my other baby mama … Wait, how many is that? 1,2, …

Ben Wallace – Mother fucker won’t let me wear my headband. *Tosses up a brick* How’s a man supposed to shoot 50% if he ain’t treated like one? *Tosses up brick #2*

Rasheed Wallace – I’m gonna be the first playa to get a ‘T’ at the free throw line.

A.C. Green – This will be the only hole I stick it. I promise.
