Fifteen Years Ago, I Cloned An Earthworm
Yesterday, Charlotte Bobcats forward Gerald “Multiplicity/Michael Keaton” Wallace stopped by the Sports Bloggers Live program to talk basketball — and Gatorade hydration studies? — with Jamie Mottram and Brad Parker.
Before the interview, Mottram rounded up a few questions from a some of the best NBA blogs around. (Shhh… I pretended I was Darvin…)
Anyway, it’s a great little interview, so make sure you check it out. In fact, to INTICE you to do so even more, I’ve included a few of the questions the SBL boys ask Mr. Keaton:
- Are you aware of your status as a fantasy basketball God?
- If you guys get to the playoffs do you think that team would consider growing playoff-mustaches instead of playoff-beards as a movement of solidarity with your teammate Adam Morrison?
- Do you worry that your reputation as a finisher and a dunker keeps you getting from recognized as a defensive finisher?
- Who will be the first Bobcat to make the All-Star team?
- At one point, there was a rumor that you had taken on a nickname, and that nickname was “Multiplicty”. Is that true? And if so, have you seen the movie?
Brilliant stuff. I suggest you do yourself a favor and have a bath. Seriously, set aside some “me-time”, find a good book, and just drift away…
And oh, when you’re done that, do yourself another favor and go listen to Gerald’s interview.

Better Living Through Nicknames
The Charlotte Bobcats need your help! (And sorry, it doesn’t involve you suiting up to play the 4 spot.)
No, the Charlotte Bobcats need your help in giving Gerald Wallace a cool nickname. A moniker, if you will.
Yeah, they’ve even listed a few suggestions to help get your creative juices flowin’. Some of them are even quite good, like: G-Motion, Strider and Crash, while some of them are well … not quite good: Speed (too generic), Look Out (what?) and Tuff (definitely not Gerald if you’ve had him on your fantasy team the past few years).
But the worst – and by worst, I mean best – Gerald Wallace nickname suggestion so far, has gotta be this little gem: Multiplicity.
Yeah, Multiplicity! I know, it’s awesome. Not only does it make no sense, but well, any nickname that brings to mind a horrific 1996 romantic comedy is fine by me. Hell, let’s just call Gerald, Michael Keaton, and get it over with. Done.
