LOLnbaz: Gasol Reads To Achieve
WeTube: Pau Gasol Really Wants That Watch
Another day, another foreign commercial starring an NBA player …
And once again, I have no idea what’s going on here. Not that it matters. Any commercial that ends like a long lost scene from the movie Cocktail is a-ok in my books.
Comments (2)The NBA Really Loves St. Patrick’s Day …
For the second consecutive year, the NBA will celebrate St. Patrick’s Day by rolling out the Boston Celtics, Chicago Bulls and New York Knicks in specially designed green uniforms. (Remember those Knicks’ beauties?)
But the fun doesn’t stop there, you Irish loving bastards. Yeah, my trusted NBA sources tell me three additional teams will also get into the holiday spirit during home games this week. Check it out:
In Washington, the Wizards have announced that they will put aside the Gatorade for a night, and instead chug Ireland’s famous stout, Guinness, March 17 against the New Orleans/Oklahoma City Hornets. Gilbert Arenas has already predicted he’s going for 80 … pints.
In Memphis, Grizzlies forward Pau Gasol has announced that he will dye his beard green for the March 17 game against the Chicago Bulls.
“I like to show my Irish roots,” said the Spaniard. “I dye face like river in Chicago where I wish to be traded. I send message loud and clear. It’s sacrifice I pay to have intestines hurt with pain.”
Finally, in Cleveland, the Cavaliers have announced that a 3-foot tall leprechaun, Cieran, will start at point March 17th against the Utah Jazz. The diminutive guard has incredible court vision and is quick and agile. In fact, take your eye off him, and he vanishes. Eric Snow was unavailable for comment.
