I Love This Series: the Video
No, really, I do. I
I love Brendan Haywood for having a sense of humor and perspective, DeShawn Stevenson for his sense of theater, LeBron James for never breaking character, Jay-Z and Pro'Verb and Soulja Boy for the absurdity, Antawn Jamison and Caron Butler and Antonio Daniels for refusing to play along, Eddie Jordan for using the word "swag," Damon Jones for being Damon Jones, Ivan Carter and Michael Lee for driving the story, the Wizards PR staffers for not revoking my credentials, and Cleveland fans for just murdering my traffic numbers. Thanks to all those and anyone I've forgotten.
But I do feel bad for the fans of real basketball. That'll start again in a few hours.
Anyhow, if you thought this morning's pre-game shootaround would be dull and drab, well, you haven't been paying attention. "At this point, nothing surprises me," Delonte West told WRC's Dan Hellie, and Delonte is absolutely correct. Nothing crazy happened this morning, but it was still fun.
Here are a few highlights, in video form, with thanks to editor Jonathan Forsythe.

I'm waiting for the reveal where it turns out Steinberg was behind all of this.

I think when the Wiz lose the consolation prize should be Deshawn winning his beard bet

Nice touch at the end there.
I can't think of anything that would be sweeter than if the Wiz came back and took it to the Cavs for three games in a row to win the series. But I just want that to happen to stick it to the national sports media who hear the Wizards talking about give them zero chance of backing it up. At this point though, I don't think the players deserve to win. I'll let them try to prove me wrong.

Sweet video, good editing. Pay Forsythe more money so he can afford a bathing suit!
