Kickin it 80's style


Brian Windhorst is known for delivering all things Cavs basketball and never seems to disappoint.  But now, when not talking about stratosphere's, Brian is dishing some amazing info on our boy Drew G.  Check below in that article under Dribbles..rather let me just post this.
 

"NBA players routinely pay big money for watches, but not the one Drew Gooden is now sporting. Gooden is on a big 1980s kick, a current fad in his hometown of Oakland. The Cavs forward recently plunked down $300 on eBay to get a vintage Casio calculator watch.

He's growing a square patch of hair in the back of his otherwise shaved head, which he calls a ``ducktail,'' another '80s look. His left eyebrow also has two lines shaved into it, another forgotten trend from the time of the Reagan Administration.

Gooden, however, was a little upset he had to get into a bidding war for the watch. Apparently he's run into another trend, as fans of NBC's The Office are in the market because one is sported by favorite nerdy character Dwight Schrute.

``It was me and another guy and we were bidding back and forth and it kept going up and up,'' Gooden said. ``I was lucky I got it.''

No word yet on his bid for retro leg warmers."


So we got the slickest player (ever), the best head of hair, and now apparently the hippest player in the Association.  Damn man..the Cavs are big time. 


UPDATE:  So I decided to look around on eBay for the watch.  So given you can only look up completed auctions that are up to 3 weeks old, if Brian is correct that Drew "recently" bought this, then here is your watch (you need to have an eBay account to view).   If he bought it more than 3 weeks ago, then be on the look out for a guy with a square patch on the back of his head and then run up to him and demand Casio satisfaction.
