I Ball So Hard Motherfuckers Want To Fine Me
So y'all thought I was lying when I said I was the biggest childhood Bulls fan growing up? Check out my Toni Kukoc framed basketball card and the cover of my wide-ruled 40 page theme book. Nicole and Toni Kukoc #7 for life.

Big Names in Bball, 2003
I was so excited when I found this issue of The Fader magazine from 2003 at my mom's house in Indiana. These photos were shot by Kai Regan at the Adidas ABCD Summer Camp, and as it explains, "some of the players featured in Kai Regan's photos will end up becoming NCAA heroes." NCAA? What about the NBA?
Dwight Howard may be my favorite player in the league, but what about baby Joakin Noah? I just can't with him. HQ scans here: http://bummertimes.com/letterman/

New Realization
I'm a teenage boy. My two primary hobbies are:
1. listening to bad, mainstream hip hop (Gucci Mane, Waka Flocka Flame, Odd Future...I could go on)
2. watching the NBA (and playing NBA Jam on my iPad)
In reality, I'm a twenty-six year old lady who loves boys, wears heels, and thinks obsessively about make-up. But I feel like this teenage boy thing may compose about 50% of my personality. "I'm a fuckin', walkin' paradox. No, I'm not."

Scream for the Green Machine
I wanted to post about this yesterday, but I decided that it deserved its own post. Last month, I went to see the New Jersey Nets play against the Los Angeles Clippers. My friend told me early in the week that she had heard that it was going to be the birthday party for Sly Fox, the mascot for the Nets. I got pretty excited because mascot birthday party games are kind of a big deal in the NBA. I was hopeful that my favorite mascot, Stuff the Magic Dragon, might make an appearance, but I didn't want to get my hopes up. So you can imagine my surprise when I saw a tweet by Stuff saying that he was in NYC killing time before Sly's birthday party the next day!
What?! Stuff?! I couldn't contain myself, so I threw a tweet in his direction.
Why I didn't tell him to come hang out with me, I'll never know. I suppose it didn't really matter too much because you know what happened? Stuff tweeted back at me.
...and also started following me. Have you ever had that kind of moment when you knew that you had finally arrived? Yep, pretty satisfying, isn't it?

#GoMagic
For my 26th birthday, I flew to Orlando (with my mom) to see the Magic play the Washington Wizards. Mom was gracious enough to let me use her digital camera to document the experience, and I figured we might as well relive the whole thing.
I had to fight to get my picture taken with Dwight flying through the air prior to the start of the game. Watch him go!
...and your starting line up for the ORLANDO MAAAAGIIIIIC!!!
Dwight likes to do a little dance prior to the game to get his team mates pumped. He also likes to wear a different outfit from everyone else since he doesn't have any other distinguishing features.
It feels like maybe Stuff and J.J. Redick had a bit of a tiff here. My guess is that J.J. was jealous that he doesn't get to be a part of the starting line up while Stuff is allowed to do whatever the hell he wants.
Oh, did you miss John Wall dougie-ing before the game? Brandon Bass is not impressed. I was. Have you seen this kid dance?
Oh, what was that about dancing? Oh, no big deal, it's just the Magic Seniors doing their thang. I wish they had taught me how to dougie...
Patrick Ewing yells at Jameer Nelson. Quentin Richardson laughs. Everyone else makes some kind of stoic expression.
Stan Van Gundy is clearly mad at Ryan Anderson at this point. Miss too many threes, Ryan? Hedo's not mad at it.
You want to know how Stuff got here? Oh, he just slid down the handrail. NBD.
Dwight makes some jokes to entertain his teammates. Chris Duhon and Jameer Nelson laugh. Meanwhile, Quentin Richardson laughs at someone else's jokes. Does this guy have the best attitude in the entire league? He's never not smiling.
Why the long faces, Ryan and J.J.? You guys won by 25 points!
Earl Clark is aware of the score and makes plans to celebrate at the end of the game!
Shout outs to my mom, Dwight Howard, Stuff the Magic Dragon, Quentin Richardson's smile, and John Wall's dougie-ing for making this happen! LET'S GO MAGIC!
