Carolina played UNC-Asheville tonight.  Asheville has a player, Kenny George, that is 7'7", 350 lbs!  He is a HUUUGE:



At first, he seemed to have Tyler Hansbrough and the gang a little shook.  They were all hesitant to go too strong inside.  But Psycho T is not one to back down.  Eventually, early in the 2nd half, he got the rock at the top of the key.  After sizing George up, he dribbled down the lane, power-stepped, then SLAMMOOOOOOOOOOO!!!  TWO-HANDED BREAKFAST ON YOUR HEAD!!!!  Awesome.  +10.



George was fun to watch though.  He has about 0 stamina, and can't run the court, but in the halfcourt he dominates.  Several times he just stood at the rim and caught oops without jumping!  On D, no non-psycho player could get off a normal shot in the paint.  +4 for the big fella.

Ty Lawson +1 for being SO FAST.  Lightning.  And Danny Green +1 for his now ritual "Jump Around" pre-game dance on the Carolina bench.  Fun.

In other big college sports news, the Ryan Mallett ballet will no longer be performed at Michigan.  Jerk.  Fool.  It's such a misconception that he wouldn't fit in Rich Rodriguez's offense... dumb.  -5.

-2 Jeff Foster tries a razzle-dazzle, behind-the-head pass in the last minute of a game vs. Phoenix, resulting in a turnover.  They went on to lose the game... Dikembe Mutombo had a great celebration after a Yao dunk vs. the Knicks, +1... J-Kidd +3 for 3 straight triple-doubles.  That came to an end tonight, when he only had 5 rebounds... Tommy Heinsohn went ballistic on ref Kenny Mauer in the Boston/Charlotte game, at one point saying he should just leave the League!  Classic.  +2...

Obama:  YES WE CAN!!!  YES WE CAN!!!  +2.

Hillary:  Your speech game is wack, but +3 for the New Hampshire win.

From The Wire Season 5 premiere:  Herc (Domenick Lombardozzi) +1 for putting the "B" in subtle... and McNulty (Dominic West), -3 for messing up your good life with the former dock patrol cop.  I like her.  You're doing her so wrong!

Danieal Negreanu, +2.  On Poker After Dark he was acting like one of my favorite SNL characters, the "one-up girl".  Funny.  On the same episode, Scotty Nguyen reveals the disturbing story of his flee from Vietnam, when he was 14.  On a raft with 16 others, including his younger brother, 12, they became lost at sea for 20+ days.  His brother was dying, and they were going to eat him!  Luckily they were rescued the next day... yikes.  +6 for living through that.

Andre 3000 +4, The Art Of Storytellin' Part 4 verse:

So I'm watching her fine-ass, walk to my bedroom,
And thought to myself that's the shape of things to cum.
She said, why in the club you 'on't make it precipitate?
You know, make it rain when you could make it thunderstorm?
I'm like why?  The world needs sun,
The hood needs funds,
There's a war going on and half the battle is guns.
How dare I throw it on the floor?
When people are poor?
So I write like Edgar Allen to restore.
Gotta cord, embilical, attached to a place that can't afford,
No, landscapin', or window drapin'.
This old lady told me if I ain't got nothing good, say nathan,
That's why I don't talk much.
I swear it don't cost much,
To pay attention to me,
I tell it like it is, then I tell it how it could be.
The hood be, requesting my services.
Oh don't get nervous it's,
Step your game up time,
These ain't them same old rhymes,
Designed to have you dancing in some club.
Niggas ride to me, women be off in they tub,
Exfoliating with they pom-poms, yelling 'Go 3000!'
I'm in my whatever bumpin' NWA A Hundred Miles and Runnin', runnin', runnin', runnin',
Summon, women,
Come an' sit down,
Heard you need some plumbin', done an',
I'm in, a swell mood,
Or rather swole mood,
Until she told me that she told dude,
That she'll back she's going to the store.
I didn't know she had a boyfriend,
So the door, I pointed her to.
I said call me when ya'll break up.
I don't fuck nobody bitch and never owend a Jacob.
Know what time it is,
Nigga, just trying to live like a nigga 'spose to live,
If I still drank that malt liquor I'd po' the beer on the ground for niggas not around.
I started off starvin',
Now they got me out here Brett Favre-in',
Trying to see if I still got it, got it,
I guess it's like the I might think about it, 'bout it, 'bout it, 'bout it, 'bout it...
