Comments on: Vince McMahon’s NBA http://ballershorts.com/blog/?p=329 Sun, 18 Apr 2010 02:36:19 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: bteitelbaum http://ballershorts.com/blog/?p=329&cpage=1#comment-4059 bteitelbaum Wed, 04 Nov 2009 04:44:50 +0000 http://ballershorts.com/blog/?p=329#comment-4059 I apologize for not being outlandish or controversial enough for some of you. Remember, I was writing the article from the perspective of Commissioner David Stern, who happens to be a mild-mannered middle age former lawyer. If Vince McMahon were running the league, though, I'm sure we'd see more stuff like the Brawl at Auburn Palace. Maybe fistfights would become legal a la the NHL, Eva Longoria would be required to wear less clothing if she wanted to sit courtside, and there would be a mascot game at All-Star weekend. What about fouls being called on players simple for being boring or unappealing or ugly? Chris Kaman would have trouble finishing a game.

Good thought nevertheless! Most of the things you talked about is very likely to happen, I would hope the NBA would be a bit crazier if it was ruled by Vince McMahon. Good thought nevertheless!

Too bad he'll probably wind up shaving it off when he realized for the 6th-ish consecutive season that his hair will get in his face when he plays. And Ron Artest already has a best friend, and her name is Lindsey Lohan. I'm not kidding. They bonded over the fact they've both been "persecuted in the media." Still not kidding. They go out in Hollywood and have triple dates with Lamar, Khloe, and Andrew Bynum and his new girlfriend.... Queen Latifah. Ok, now I'm kidding.

Maybe it wasn't him. Or maybe I too was dreaming. B) I too have had the 'What if sports were like WWE' thought - but for me it always boiled down to how wrestlers screw over their friends and switched sides. Picture this: Stanley Cup Finals, Game 7 - score tied at 2 with three minutes to go. One of the D-men for the Penguins has the puck back by their own goalie. Turns around and puts it in... rips off his penguins jersey and is wearing... A RED WINGS JERSEY?! I always thought that'd be interesting.
