from STUFF's November Issue where they preview the NBA. Interview with Charles Oakley STUFF: Who needs to toughen up? OAKLEY: Dirk Nowitzki and Yao Ming. Yao is just a finesse guy. You've got a seven-foot-six guy setting a pick and roll at the three-point line Charles, you ****tard, he's doing that because his caoch calls that play. And a center doing a pick and roll doesn't mean he's soft, it just means he's skilled enough to actually be serviceable in that role. Interview with Dwyane Wade and TMax (note, I am adlibbing for Dwyane cuz I dont care about him ) STUFF: During the playoffs last year, there was talk of Bruce Bowen being dirty. Do you think that label is justified? DWYANE: They call me Flash! I'm a superhero! TRACY: He's got a lot of tricks up his sleeve, and he don't give you no space to breathe. If you let him get in your head, he'll kill you. STUFF: Now that gary Payton is coming to the end of his career, who's the biggest mouth in the NBA? TRACY: The closest to him is Kevin Garnett, but he's not talking to you, he's motivating himself. STUFF: Every team has a practical joker. Who is ot on your teams? DWYANE: King Kong ain't got nothing on me! Flash time baby! TRACY: Jon Barry's the class clown. There are locker room stories, for sure, but that's classified information. Dwyane: I'm on NBA Live! Thats all Flash, all the time! STUFF: With all the Europeans in the league, do you worry about the "soccer flop" becoming a new style of defense? TRACY: You know who started that was freakin' Vlade Divac (editor's note: ). But those guys ain't soft or anything, they're tring to get a call. STUFF: Will Darko Milicic ever come around? TRACY: He's playing behind Ben Wallace and Rasheed Wallace. You could average 50 points a game—ain't nobody getting to play behind those guys. DWYANE: I spell my name with the Y first because I am dyslexic. STUFF: You're both featured in EA's NBA Live '06 video game. What can you do in the game that you wish you could do in real life? DWYANE: Dunk over other people.(ed. note: only this response not adlibbed) STUFF: You can't dunk over other people? DWYANE: I like to eat paste TRACY: I don't believe in that **** at all
Funny stuff. I personally root against Dwyane because of the way he spells his name hurts my head. I hope Jon Barry will write a book someday that will make Yao's and T-Mac's skin crawl. Of course, Sura would probably have to kill him, but that's a small price to pay for our entertainment.
