Check out this instant classic from Slate.com (thx Hamel) which basically takes a bunch of players in the NBA playoffs and categorizes them as certain streetball stereotypes.
You know what I am talking about..just read it. As the author says, "If you stare at pro players long enough, they start to look less like superheroes and more like the guys we've all hooped with at the YMCA. Ricky Davis isn't one of the NBA's top bench players. He's that annoying guy who thinks he's the team captain."
Notice a little shoutout to Damien Wilkins, who went to my highschool in LeAkron. He gets ripped on but one day this kid should be sweet..I mean look at his bloodline.
Here is a little taste for those who aren't going to read the article:
The Guy Who Doesn't Show Up: Kwame Brown, Washington Wizards (suspended for the rest of the playoffs)
Oh,
you're running a little bit late? I see, you thought we meant p.m., not
a.m. You'll be another 10 minutes? Now you're at the wrong J.C.C.? No,
no, don't worry. We have enough to start without you.
Play on..

What about this one: the guy so good he can get everyone on his team involved yet still dominate when it becomes winning time- LeBron James.
