I’mna start my analysis of the players soon, and I’ll be starting with the team’s leader and point guard, Baron Davis, aka BoomDizzle. As I glanced on the web for possible photos to put in that blog, I realized the pictures kinda told the story themselves.
Baron's play AND enthusiasm in Golden State were what got us so excited here in Clipper Nation.
When he led the Warriors past the Mavs in the playoffs, it was pure magic and joy. We wanted that. Bad-like.
Even after Elton Brand bailed, B.Diddy not only kept his word to come to the Clippers, but he was actually excited to be here!
This wasn't an athlete putting on a front, he was genuinely thrilled to be a Clipper. Go figure.
He was gonna bring the fun back to the Clips, regardless of what # he wore (#85? Where'd that come from?)
Sure, partly he was just excited to be back disco skatin' with his homies on the Venice boardwalk, but let's not dwell on that. Please.
He was that rare athlete who not only brought skillzzzz, but also truly loved basketball and goofing around with the guys. He was psyched to play with guys like Kaman and Camby.
But eventually he started to get frustrated...
He & Dunleavy started having clashes. "Mikey, I heard they made fast-breaks legal this year." "Yeah, just like you told me Sterling would give me a million bucks if I went up to him and told him he could stroke my big bald head real hard. I ain't falling for the same trick twice. How dumb you think I is? Fast-breaks legal??? Riiiight."
Hmmm, I like the made-up quotes. I’mna do that for the rest. And yes, I’m too lazy to go back and change the rest up there.
"Why me, Lord? Why me???"
"Mamba, you think you could go hard for 82 games with this crew?" "I'm good, but I ain't that good."
"I'm so depressed, I ain't gonna even trim my beard anymore. Call me Grizzly Baron."
"Where's Camby? Kaman? Zach? Or that good l'il rookie, whatsit, Gordon? I mean, who are these guys out here? Are their names up on the scoreboard...? Damn, just their numbers. Ugh, now I've also got a weird itch in my butt; hope no one notices me walking all weird, clenching my cheeks."
"Don't even smile at me, Monta, telling me how good things are with the Warriors. I know they took back a bunch of your $ by suspending you and- Say, what kinda name is Monta anyway? Kid, you always acting all uppity saying, 'It ain't Monty, it's Mont-AY.' Me, I'll call ya Monty if I want. Lucky I don't call you Mont-A, like you in a large Mount-A trouble."
"Great, the team sucks, I'm injured, and people are giving ME crap for not playing harder. Tell me this is just a nightmare and I'mna wake up right... NOW! Damn. Okay, then... NOW! Oh God, this is all real, ain't it?"
"Camby, Kaman, so this is where you are. I looked for y'all on bball courts from here to Canada. Who are all those guys out there in Clips uniforms? And-- wait, those 2 guys in front of us, they on the team or just two fans who have better seats than us? They ARE Clips? Man, this is starting to freak me out."
"Fun jobs do still exist! Here's your fries, ma'am! I love that rather than slowing the tempo down by coming inside, you're going drive-thru and pushing the pace. --Hey, you think you could talk to this guy I know named Mikey D.? No, not MickyD's, Mikey Dun... Ah ferget it. Need ketchup?"
