I really think all Marbury knows about Randolph is that he's left-handed... he's mentioned that repeatedly in every interview since the trade went down.
"I'm gonna average 10 points next year". F*ck it, I'm sold. I'm taking him in next year in my Fantasy Basketball League... I really think he's going to out-assist Nash. I'm convinced.
Oh, and my GF wants to add that he's always "wearing those Easter colored suits".

On to other unrelated stuff. The Big Lead might appreciate this little story - I was doing karaoke about a year ago. I'm not big into karaoke, but it was a going away party for a couple of close friends who were moving to Kyrgyzstan, specifically Bishkek. Yo, please spare me the Borat jokes - I said Kyrgyzstan, not Kazakhstan. It's significantly smaller, has two political parties (not one), was once under the control of the Khanate of Kokand, and the people are more Asian-y. Here are some beautiful pictures from Kyrgyzstan, courtesy of Sex Worker Rights Gal:
Pretty, right? So, back to the story - I'm at karaoke, right? And one of the guys there put on David Bowie's great song "Modern Love". It's a good karaoke song, right - (modern love) get me to the church on time/(church on time) terrifies me....
But I was fascinated by the video that goes with the song. You know how you have those cheesy karaoke videos which usually make no sense? Well this one had a familiar face, but I couldn't place it at first. He just looked very familiar. Then I realized where I recognized his face from:
It's Chuck from the Wonder Years - Andrew Mark Berman. He's in the karaoke video to "China Girl", also by David Bowie. Perhaps he's in all Bowie karaoke videos? I don't know, but if you ever do some karaoke-ing, keep an eye out for this dude. And, just FYI - if I was going to sing a Bowie classic for karaoke it would be this one:
Anyone remember the Stephen King mini-series of the same name? It was a decent TV show about a elderly janitor caught in a lab explosion who mysteriously starts un-aging. Him and his elderly wife have to travel across the country seeking a cure while being chased by your prototypical secret government agency ("The Shop"). The TV show was decent, the highlight being the show intro set to the Bowie song. The TV version had a sad, but realistic ending, yet the DVD version was apparently edited (from what I read) to have an impossibly cheesy ending. One that involves people just poofing out of existance. In other words it knocks "Hearts of Atlantis" down to being King's second worse project of all time.
That last paragraph was like Stephen King, Larry King and Peter King all rolled up in one. I like to call that the Three Kings writing style.
One last random You Tube clip - this one was the winner of the 1980 VMA for "Best Song That's Clandestinely About Statutory Rape:

Nah, it's real. I was thinking of doing an Olympic preview, and starting with the "Stans", and seeing if at some point I could get away with a completely fabricated profile of made up Stan ("Turkistan"), complete with pictures, historical facts, and Olympic history. I'm positive at least 70% of people would buy it. Hell, I would!
How do you pronounce it? Or is that asking too much? lol
Yeah, Steph is starting to sound like those Black evangelists you find on the Christian cable channels, you know, Creflo Dollar and his ilk.
But I wasn't convinced until I saw him execute the "move" which he said "brings him closer to God." It looked like he was doing the prep with a lil shoulder dip thrown in.
So God is into early 80s dance crazes. Well it was a bad time for Black music, but maybe a good time for our lord and savior.
Who knew?
Wow, I need to brush up on my geography. Kyrgyzstan? I totally thought you were making that up.
