Chris Andersen: It’s Your Time To Fly
Chris, man. How ya doin’? This may sound weird, but we miss you. You’re our boy, man. It’s at this time every year that we think about you. Everyone remembers your Slam Dunk Performance in ‘05.
You may be gone, but you’re not forgotten. I know you’re trying to make it back to the L, and well, I was thinking, what better place to make your 2nd debut than on All-Star weekend? Here’s the plan: I bought you a ticket for the Skills Competition. Section 101, Row 4, Seat 6. Do whatever you gotta do to get yourself prepared, but you’re on stage right before the final round of the dunk off.
Then, as the 1st guy is getting ready to throw down, you come flying down the aisle on to the court, rip off your disguise, and throw down som’n nasty! No, no, no, no, hold on, forget that. Go clank one good! Miss it, horribly. Make the whole arena die of laughter. They’ll be chanting your name as you’re carried off the court (and don’t worry about security, I got you).
People will love you once again. And, if you’re banned from the league forever, who cares? Let’s face it, you didn’t have much of a career ahead of you. And, think about the marketing opportunties for The Birdman. Think about the hype. Make the contest relevant again man; do it for the people. We need you Birdman.

Quick reminder there’ll be no podcast Tuesday morning. (No games scheduled.)
So, enjoy tonight’s college game, I guess. Go Ducks! (They’re still playing right?)

Did anyone else catch LeBron’s behind-the-back, off-the-glass, one-handed throw-down in warm-ups last night?
Yes?
No?
If so … vid-e-o?
Please.

Ex-Raptor, current-Jazzer Rafael Araujo is currently playing for a contract extension. It looks like he might just get it…
Yeah, they’re apparently so excited about “Hafa” down there in Utah that the Desert News paper just ran a post about him … dunking!
Jazz center Rafael “Hafa” Araujo jams in a two-handed dunk during Utah’s preseason finale 122-96 win over the Indiana Pacers on Thursday at the Delta Center. The former BYU star notched a double-double of 11 points and 10 rebounds.
That’s it!
Coming tomorrow… Deron Williams dribbles between his legs!

Oh, me? Yeah, I’m just checking out the pretty nifty dunk mix tape I just edited. Yeah, I pieced together all my NBA highlights and then dropped a hardcore beat on top of it. Yeah, yeah, just got it uploaded on YouTube and everything. Huh? Oh sure, I think it’s fairly… well, what do the kids say nowadays, “banging”? Yes, yes, it’s quite banging. Quite a banging video indeed.
