NBA Draft moments
Remember your favorite NBA draft moments? Me either, but Bill Simmons has one of the funniest things I have read in a long time, putting forth the 60 greatest NBA Draft Moments. Many are funny, to be sure, but No. 11 is the best for me:
No. 11
2004: Utah takes 7-foot-5 Pavel Prdzswsbqzpdne, who stands up and immediately whiffs on two high-fives. Not a good start for the Pavel Era. Andy Katz calls it a "safe pick." Of course, USA Today's scouting report mentioned that Pavel "takes medication for a hormonal disorder related to pituitary gland." Maybe "safe" wasn't the best choice of words, not after the Gheorghe Muresan Era and Giant Gonzalez's wrestling career. My buddy Jacko quickly jokes, "Must improve: Genetic deficiency."
Reading Simmons' column was 1000x more interesting than the draft itself.
