What would 'Doin Work' on Rockets players be like?... Yao Ming- "And there's Pryzbilla flop on me...here is Oden hugging me, but I can't get no carrll from the ref...Okur slapped my hand when I go for layup...no carrll as usual... Boozer push in back, no call..." Aaron Brooks- "Here you see a defender is guarding me one on one on the perimeter near the sideline. Behind him is another defender. I don't have any room so I dribble back out towards the middle and swing it to Ron..." Spike Lee: "But what about Yao Ming calling for the ball in front of the second defender whom Yao has sealed off the whole time?" AB: "Wha-what? I guess must have missed him. He's only 7'6 you know." Ron Artest- "And here I'm guarding Andre...I met his mom at a charity basketball game, his mom's real nice she makes great pumpkin pies...I remember when my man Crazy Sam back in the hood threw pumpkins at everyone that year...damn I'm getting hungry...see ya"
or... yao ming: "here i am missing a layup cuz im too much of a little girl to dunk" or "here i am waiting to pass out of the post because when i get the ball i just hold it until the double team comes instead of just making my move and shooting."
kobe Propoganda has got to stop. Kobe must think he's sophisticated because he speaks Italian and knows a few words in some other languages. He's an Elitist I was kind of bored, not because I don't like Kobe but because it really wasn't that engaging.
Why has Kobe been so worried about manipulating his image so much? I mean, he isn't the most likable player, and I say that as someone that thinks he is nothing short of a killer on the court. It just seems like he wants to put himself out there with a certain image and he wants to control that image, rather than just being himself.
Because he wants to be liked like Jordan was; he idolizes Jordan on near unhealthy levels. It probably kills him that he will never as admired as MJ nor be the main man in a championship team. If he doesn't win any championships in his prime, he will be the most tortured superstar because nobody cares more about their image than Kobe obviously does.
Did anyone see Kobe after the game last night? He walked into the tunnel with all the cameras on him and then there's his wife. They embrace and have a nice hug/kiss. I'm surprised his daughter wasn't there too, he probably saved her for the post game presser though....
IF that was Yao Ming speaking good English, or any Rockets player, we'd be in awe and calling it the greatest sports documentary ever
If it was Yao, it would be an amazing documentary because Yao is very funny. I think Deke would also be a great choice. Kobe Doin Work was pretty boring and didn't live up to all the ESPN hype. I would have rather seen a documentary on that goomba Odom. I mean just watch these and tell this wouldn't be a great documentary: <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/T83wyYFI2gQ&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/T83wyYFI2gQ&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object> <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/NQtRXQpZHHg&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/NQtRXQpZHHg&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object> <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/71SMu8A3VU4&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/71SMu8A3VU4&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object> <object width="560" height="340"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/-gj0achocYY&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/-gj0achocYY&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"></embed></object> <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/zPDFEQzF3N4&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/zPDFEQzF3N4&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object> The man is a walking comedy act/sitcom!

Bill Simmons mailbag article today is full of gems. Here's the related 'Doin' Work' stuff (it's at the bottom):
He does a pretty good acting job, seemingly has a reasonable personality. I just hope Nuggets beat him and he humbles down or something.
Just watched a few minutes of 'Doing Work' because of this thread -- i'll join in the absolutely horrible - what were they thinking chorus.
