The NBA Is a Better, More Fun Place When the Wizards Win

by Marcel Mutoni

So far this season, three storylines have dominated the headlines: The Lakers and Celtics’ grim deathmarch through the rest of the League; LeBron and the summer of ’10; and the wholly depressing Starbury fiasco in New York.

One thing we’ve been sorely lacking is comedic relief from the crew in Washington, mostly because they’ve been too miserable on and off the court to provide it.

Last night, though, things took a turn for the better, as the Wizards got a rare win. They then followed it up with their trademark locker-room antics.

From the Washington Post:

[Nick Young] put on a plaid red shirt and asked Dominic McGuire, “Don’t I look like a model for Levi’s?” “No,” McGuire said. “You look like somebody from [the gang movie] ‘Colors.’ ”

That didn’t stop Young from posing in his threads at different spots in the locker room. He leaned against one wall, turned his head to the side and said, “Abercrombie & Fitch.” Then he walked over to another wall to strike another pose. But as he got set to lean on his right leg, Young bumped his head on a shelf, causing Antonio Daniels to shake his head. After his embarrassing moment, Young then headed to the door, shot up the peace sign and said, “That’s my time, folks.”

If you’re not rooting for this team to win more games, then you simply don’t love this League.

    Things I like about the Wiz: Gil, Caron, Antawn, Nick, Etan. Things I dislike: underacheivers Haywood and Blatche, and Soulja Boy Jr.

    I will say it agian: CHANGE YOUR NAME TO THE BULLETS AND I WILL CHANGE MINE TOO

    The Wiz are so likeable, even without Agent Zero. But, you’re right, when they’re losing there no fun. Nick young has mad charisma and Caron is my boy no matter what. I even like Deshawn and JaVale (who’s still way too raw.) But seriously, whats the deal with Andray Blatche? He’ll occasionally blow up for 25 12 5 and 5 just to give false hope about how good he could be if he puts it all together…

    “[Nick Young] put on a plaid red shirt and asked Dominic McGuire, “Don’t I look like a model for Levi’s?” “No,” McGuire said. “You look like somebody from [the gang movie] ‘Colors.’ ”
    Easily one of the best lockerroom exchanges ever.

    Yeah, BET, I miss the Bullets.

  • riggs Posted: Dec.3 at 12:04 pm
    why didnt plaid die with the 80′s and brawny?

  • Fresh Posted: Dec.3 at 12:26 pm
    NICK YOUNG is a tremendous talent and is a great all around scorer…look out in the future

  • Khalid Salaam Posted: Dec.3 at 12:30 pm
    you guys do realize the reason the team changed their name from bullets to wizards right? I see no need to change it back.

    No Gilbert no fun.

  • Boing Dynasty Posted: Dec.3 at 1:20 pm
    Sombody has to be the murder capitol, why not DC?

  • riggs Posted: Dec.3 at 1:34 pm
    Cause baltimore already is

  • Marcel Mutoni Posted: Dec.3 at 1:44 pm
    @khalid: please direct all bullet-related questions to plaxico burress. thanks.

  • Mo Charlo Posted: Dec.3 at 2:22 pm
    Marcel for the win. Furthermore, I’m pretty sure Memphis held the violent crime title for ’07. ’08 stats haven’t come out yet.

  • Winslowalrob Posted: Dec.3 at 4:04 pm
    TAD, Etan is TRASH and Haywood is twice the player he is. The Wiz are hilarious, Gibby, D-Steazy, and Nick Young are nutty ass players who are genuinely funny. With McGee we finally have someone with a passion for dunking… he is like a poor man’s Shawn Kemp, except without all the kids. Hell he may even BE Shawn Kemp’s kid the throws it down… I wish Kemp was my father…

  • TADOne Posted: Dec.3 at 4:07 pm
    Winslow: I like Etan the person, not too worried about the basketball player.

  • Allenp Posted: Dec.3 at 4:26 pm
    New Orleans is the most violent city this year. Stats just came out. I think we were at the top last year. I actually wrote about it here: http://ravingblacklunatic.blogspot.com/2008/11/were-back-on-top-again.html

  • what Posted: Dec.3 at 4:30 pm
    The murder capital? You mean like where they murder for capital?

  • Teddy-the-Bear Posted: Dec.3 at 6:47 pm
    Abercrombie and Fitch = homo. And not sapien, either.

  • Moose Posted: Dec.3 at 8:23 pm
    Abercrombie and Fitch? Jeez . . . . . . . .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . .. . . .. . .. .. . . . . stuff’s turrible.

  • BETCATS Posted: Dec.3 at 8:40 pm
