I’m not sure we actually need Mikki Moore on this team, but we could use that type of intensity. He looks certifiably insane. Moore looks likes he auditioning to be in the new Predator movie. You need a guy like that to motivate your team to win. Actually check that, you must have a combination of the following three guys to lead your team to a championship.
1. A guy who can snap and go crazy at any moment. A guy who wants to win so bad he can’t control himself at times (See- Alonzo Mourning, Kevin Garnett, Rasheed Wallace, Dennis Rodman)
2. A white guy cheerleader. His job is to not be very good at basketball but to be an awkward cheerleader from the bench, keeping your guys loose and the other team laughing. (See- Mark Madsen, Scott Pollard, Bostjan Nachbar, Will Perdue)
3. A stone cold Killer. A player who at some point just gets pissed and decides to completely take over the game. This can be a problem if that player is someone like Ricky Davis or Stephon Marbury. But when you have someone truly great (See- Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, Lebron James, Myself) you’ve got the most important piece.
State of the Cavs:
1. Our closest thing to crazy guy is Varejao. He plays really hard and gets other guys excited. Sadly he does not have the talent of a ‘Zo, Garnett, or ‘Sheed so his motivation can only do so much. Regardless these are hard players to find so it’s great that we resigned Andy.
2. This is our biggest hole on the team. We have no excitable white guy. Z certainly is goofy, but he is too vital to the team to be asked to cheer and dance from the bench. Sasha could be the guy, but he has the personality of a dry noodle (wet noodles have always been funny to me). Luke Jackson showed some promise while he was here, but his injured back really limited his poppin‘ and lockin‘ routine from the bench. If we do trade Hughes (and I hope we do) it’s crucial that we get a silly white guy in the deal.
3. We have Lebron. He is that good. He just needs a white guy who dances and a crazy who can play.
Look at the Celtics.
1. Crazy/Great player- Garnett (Best Crazy-Great combination in league history)
2. Funny white guy- Brian Scalabrine (Good call by them to hang onto this guy)
3. Killer- Ray Allen (Jawing with Kobe, Never afraid to shoot)
No coincidence that they are the best team in the East now.
We can be better than them though! Just follow my plan Ferry!
Tonight vs. Dirk and the Mavs.
We can beat them.
