This might be my favorite article of all time.

good read..thanks

I sat right behind Steve and his wife in church yesterday. Shook hands and said hello. He's a classy guy and, in my mind, it will always be the Blazers version of him that I'll remember.

The author is a nitwit if he thinks Blake wouldn't kick the everloving shit out of Fareid. No fucking way Fareid lasts more than fifteen seconds before tapping (or passing) out.

And "marginal moving screen?" Fuck off.

"America's Squad"? Nice

Steve Blake is one of my all time favorite Blazers but......what a stupid f***ing article. The writer is clearly bored and reaching for something to fill his day. What a self absorbed moron. That said, what the current squad of nice guys needs is an angry ass kicker exactly like Blake. One of the most under appreciated guys who ever wore the red and black.....

Strange read...guy is definitely a writer but I sincerely question how he knows what a chlorinated asshole smells like...in other words...don't share a swimming pool with this dude

The theme seemed to be that Blake doesn't enjoy basketball and is boring to watch but is a nice guy outside the game.

Is it worth my time reading the article? It doesn't seem like it by the reaction of some posters in this thread.

I thought it was funny. I enjoy seeing Blake get worked up, the videos embedded were worth it for me alone.

Not only is it worth it to read the article, but then go find more stuff written by this guy. He's a hoot and a half.

I read this article in Bill Walton's voice.

 

[bodyman5000 and 1]

I thought it was entertaining. That is probably the first time anything about Steve Blake has entertained me.

I have discovered a few things perusing this article.

1. This writer has WAY to much time on his hands.

2. Put the bong down dude.

3. Drop some of the preteniousness. You're writing about basketball, not The Golden Bowl.


Got to admit some good bits though. Love the Camas description!

That's the best advice...perfect way to read it

 

[riverman]

It sort of reminds me of mags on shrooms a long time ago in a game thread...mags was funnier though

Steve Blake is my spirit animal.

 

[Shaboid]

I hope he comes back as a coach and then goes all 2002 Practice Scrimmage on either Doc Rivers or Steve Kerr.

I don't know if he'd appreciate me mentioning it, but I think it shows what kind of a guy he is. Last summer, he went down to Central America with a church team and spent a week helping build a community well to provide clean water to a village that didn't have access to it before. Just a really good dude.

Dame is an ass kicker.

 

[Shaboid]

Dame is an ass kicker.

He kicks his teammates in the ass, which is important. I think Ezeli is that guy this year. Humble and smart, but also loyal and aggressive.

 

[BlazerWookee]

Dame is an ass kicker.

He kicks ass with basketball and leadership skills. Blakey kicks ass with fighting skills and a reckless disregard for personal safety.

These guys were jealous C students in English class. The article is brilliant.

That's the first thing I did. Clicked on the links at the bottom.

I see the similarities to the former Berkeley math professor--I was admitted to Berkeley as a math major after scoring 99th percentile on the math SAT--but in your monthly report to the intelligence agency, you should classify me as "accounting major, has run small businesses."

The intelligence agency isn't concerned with accuracy.
