Tyson Chandler and My Buddy

mybuddy.jpgLet’s kick this down a notch from that previous post. Roughkat passed this along, and even though it’s a couple of weeks old, it cracked us up. We’re looking forward to seeing more Tyson Chandler in these here NBA playoffs. This is from a blog post of his:

It’s comical to me that [the Mavericks] wanted to play us. First of all, it’s comical to me that you’re scared of a team, and say that you don’t want to play them.

But it reminds me of when I was little. I begged for the My Buddy doll, begged for the My Buddy doll. I kept asking, “Ma, get me the My Buddy. Ma, get me the My Buddy.” But my mom couldn’t really afford it, so she couldn’t get it for me at that time.

So, I kept at it. “Ma, get me a My Buddy. Every other kid got a My Buddy. Mom, I never get anything!” Just making my mom feel bad.

So, my uncle told my mom, “I’ll fix this.” I didn’t know my uncle told my mom that, but he came over with this video and pops it in the machine. I’m like, “Ah, My Buddy!” And it turns out it was the Chucky movie.

All the next week, I’m telling my mom, “Please, don’t get me My Buddy. Please, don’t get me My Buddy.”

So sometimes, what you think you really want, you don’t really want. The Mavericks think they want us, and they asked for us, and we ain’t gonna be My Buddy. They’re gonna get Chucky.

Awesome. And, as it turned out, accurate.

That is better than anything Agent Zero has ever written! Now, only if Chandler and Ron Benson teamed up!

So…Avery Johnson is actually dead…not fired?

I think Avery Johnson is now more of a Cabbage Patch Kid fan.

By the way why aren’t the Wolves firing Wittman immediately and hiring Avery Johnson?

Avery Johnson would not suit our roster. Besides, McChump said we’d be doubling our win total next year, so we’re set already.

Does he not fit the roster because he is still better than half the players on it? He fits this roster perfectly, he wants to play defense and he relates to the players. Plus he does a great job with young players.

But he has that annoying voice like Dave Wannstedt (”legendary” Bears coach). Do you really want to listen to that in interviews??

That “coach’s” name is never to be brought up again. He is blamed for the demise of the best football team in the history of the world.*

*This may or may not be true.
