Hooped Up

As part of my contribution to the All-Anything NBA Team Carnival of the NBA thread. I bring you the ”All NBA Comedy First Team”.  To make this predigest list, you still must be playing in the league and you gotta be a funny S.O.B.

With players this funny, you don’t need a bench!

(This might become a Hooped Up regular in the future…we’ll see)

Baron Davis and Kate Hudson were spotted leaving new Hollywood hotspot Bardot after a night of partying. However this might not be anything as these two were old high school buddies in Santa Monica.  The real question is, did Baron Davis “stop short” on Kate Hudson.

Moving back home has it’s perks!

The Clips finally got some good news and learned that the face of the organization and face of Jenny Craig Baron Davis will not need surgery on his injured finger.   However, the Jenny Craig’s might still win more games than the Clippers this year.

“There may have been more from a certain point guard named Baron Davis, but that was the essential information of the day. Davis will not need surgery for his torn finger ligament and could resume basketball activities in about a week, the team said.

“I told him it was great news,” Dunleavy said. “It’s about as good as I could have hoped for.”

Anybody that goes to the LA Clippers on their own will, has got to be an optimist or does not have a television.  But could playing for the Clippers be worst than it appears? Corey Maggette thinks so.

“New Clippers’ point guard Baron Davis played it cool when asked Tuesday about the comments ex-Clipper Corey Maggette made about his former team at the Golden State Warriors media day. Maggette, who left via free agency over the summer, was quoted in various Bay Area newspapers as saying “Baron will be in for a rude awakening.” Davis, who said he speaks with Maggette frequently and considers him a friend, said he preferred not to speak about Maggette’s feelings”

LA Daily News

Earlier this week, Baron Davis reviled that he is using the Jenny Craig weight lost program to shed some unwanted off-season weight.  I guess the slim and trim people of Jenny Craig were listening, as today according to The Mercury News Baron Davis was named an official spokesperson for the weight loss brand joining Queen Latifah and Valerie Bertinelli. 

Jenny Craig just turned into free Jenny Craig.

The NBA is going global in all aspect these days and Baron Davis is the latest player to test the international market.  He’ll still be a Los Angeles Clippers  but, Davis will join Shaquille O’Neal, Damon Jones and Chuck Hayes on team Li Ning leaving his former sponsor Reebok behind. 

Li Ning is a popular Chinese based shoe company founded by former the national Olympic hero of the same name. Li joined the country’s first-ever Olympic team and came back from the 1984 Games with 6 medals. 

Li Ning also lit the cauldron in the opening ceremony of the 2008 Beijing Olympics.

At least that’s what is sounds like he would like to do, via his blog at Yardbarker.  With Jason Kidd out of the mix as the veteran presence in the locker room, maybe there’s room for another guard from California.

“Spain balled their asses off - can’t wait till Rubio makes it to the league,” wrote Davis in his blog. “He’s a gem. Portland should be nice too, with Oden AND Rudy Fernandez coming in (did you see that nasty one-hand over Dwight Howard, are you kidding???).

“It would be an honor to play for the gold in London 2012 to keep the Olympic title where it belongs, here in the US,” added Davis. “What a dream come true.”

Simply hilarious!  If these two weren’t on the top of your favorites list before, they should after watching this. Steve Nash and Baron Davis collaborated to create a Step Brothers mock trailer for ibeatyou.com.  If you thing you can beat them, put down the Guitar Hero 3, (which I’m still addicted to) and pick up your video camera.

On Looker: “Is that  Baron Davis?”

On Looker: “And Steve Nash?”

Camera Guy: Yup

On Looker: Oh My God!

Straight Awesome!

To be a Clippers fan you gotta be dedicated…super dedicated.  So when an all-star guard decides to play for your team what do you do?  Make a song up about it of course.
