Bill Simmons Reviews NBA Draft 2009

He does his usual funny job. However, his Wrestlemania reviews are a whole lot better.

Here are my additions to his observations.

If Blake Griffin was being drafted by the clippers, then why did his shirt reflect the colors of the other NBA team in Los Angeles?

Yes we lost Farrah (I still have the images of that famous poster in my brain). But Michael Jackson, I thought this was a publicity stunt gone wrong because Farrah’s news story was overshadowing his future tour. However, will we see in the near future these boys who he settled with start talking now?

Hasheem Thabeet gets drafted but the footage ESPN shows is depicting Thabeet getting schooled by this year’s “we regret not drafting you sooner” athlete in DeJuan Blair. San Antonio may have gotten the steal of this draft by drafting Blair like they did years earlier with Ginobli.

The OKC thunder drafted Alan Keyes, or was it Nipsey Russell

The Timberwolves did what… Drafted a Euro point guard that wants to play in Big NBA markets and then Jonny Flynn?????? Wait until later. But they did get a shooter in Wayne Ellington. Man, we thought the McHale era was bad, the Kahn era appears to be no better.

The Warriors did the draft shocker of the night, getting Curry before the Knicks could. Everyone now thinks that this pick is going to Phoenix??? I think they are going to trade Ellis instead. It was great to see Dell again. Ex-Hornets fans loved Dell. We despised George Shinn.

Then the Knicks fans booed their pick. Man this reminded me of Donavan McNabb when the NFL’s Eagles drafted him. I was waiting for the Knicks fans to start shouting J_E_T_S Jets Jets Jets because they got Sanchez. Donavan turned out alright. Hill will thrive in the Knicks system.

yawn…. yawn…. Oh My, the Tarheel Duo in Charlotte drafted a Dukie while dumping a fellow alumni Sean May days earlier (injury prone like his dad was) …. Great player in Henderson, wrong team, poor fit. Michael Jordan could lead a NBA team but he sure can not run a NBA team.

You know you are getting old when the sons of the daddies you vividly remember getting drafted are now getting drafted.

yawn.. yawn, then Brandon Jennings shows up four picks later….

6:30: Larry Brown finishes an interview with Scott, then goes upstairs to yell at Jack, Chrissy and Janet. (Waiting.) You’re right … too dated. Nobody under 30 got that one. Damn. I’m old.

Simmons, I got that one….. I am over 40. I feel even older now!!!
Why am I now tired

yawn.. yawn…

Shaq is now on the phone. Talks about the late MJ (Jackson, not Jordan), the honesty of the Suns, and once backing up the great Stanley Roberts classic. ‘The Big Autobiography’ has spoken. Classic. Loved it.

Darko Milicic gets traded…. yawn!!!! yawn yawn….

until the Spurs select Dejuan Blair…..

ok, I’m now going to listen to the rest of this draft on ESPN Radio.

Sleepless Season 2009 is now over!!!! Time to watch Whale Wars every Friday night on Animal Planet and laugh at these self-destructive people!
