Do Not Take Advice From Kobe Bryant

Kobe Bryant (yes, the guy who had to deal with a sexual assault case because he couldn’t resist the trinity) had some words for Metta World Peace (yes, the guy who was suspended for an entire season for charging into the crowd and attacking fans) after the Lakers’ scrappy recent win over the Clippers. He told World Peace “to be the person you were in Indiana.” Again, World Peace was so out of control in Indiana that he attacked a fan because somebody threw a drink at him. If that World Peace comes back, he’s going to clothesline Jack Nicholson for wearing sunglasses at a game. The Lakers have won three of four and are a game back in the Pacific Division, so maybe the Kobe System is working. Or maybe it’s the fact that World Peace admitted that “I got bored with defense because it was so easy to stop people over the years” but now he’s starting to come around. I mean, seriously, winning championships, making money, and being popular is so boring.

A Note To Knicks Fans

I never boo my guys. I know that they’re not always giving it their all and that sucks. I’ll yell. I’ll yell at them to run faster or pass the ball. I honestly like most of the players on the teams I root for, but I don’t like all of them. It still doesn’t stop me from cheering for them because they’re on my team. It’s just a personal choice. If you booed the Marbury/Curry-era Knicks, I don’t have a problem with it. They sucked and their effort and skill was less than stellar.

However, as a fan, you have to realize that booing doesn’t help your team. If you’re doing a Powerpoint at work and it sucks so you’re trying to fix it, do you think it would help if somebody was booing you WHILE you were working. Look, I know this is New York and this is a demanding town, but chill out with the early booing. Yeah, the Knicks played horribly against Toronto and Charlotte but if you really want the team to win, don’t fucking boo. I hate it.

And leave Toney Douglas alone. He’s a third-year guy and was picked 29th in the draft. What do you expect from him? He’s making about 1/20 of the salary as Carmelo Anthony. Its not like he’s a high-priced free agent that isn’t living up to his contract. He’s a kid that was thrust into the starting lineup but only because there was literally nobody else. Shumpert and Bibby might take his spot for now but don’t boo Toney Douglas because he misses a wide open three or dribbles the ball off his foot. And if you cheer louder than usual when he comes out, it’s still a slap in the face. Mistakes happen and the lockout didn’t help anybody, much less a young guy given a vast new responsibility. If you think he’s dogging it, then sure, give him shit. Otherwise, leave him alone.

Throwback: Urkel at the Buzzer

With the undermanned Knicks struggling, it sure seems like they could use a guy like Urkel coming off their bench. I’m not sure if he’d be allowed to wear his suspenders without getting a T, but he’d still probably be better than Jeremy Lin. Here, he leads his high school team to a huge fourth quarter comeback, although the blue team needs to learn how to milk the shot clock. Jaleel White has a serious handle, though. I hate it when they can’t actually play basketball in the movies or TV. Urkel would destroy Teen Wolf, although the coaches would be evenly matched.
