DeShawn Stevenson: “I’m the New Dennis Rodman”
DeShawn Stevenson‘s antics have been covered at length in this space. The last post about, which was kind of amazing, was THIS.
The D.C. Sports Bog has ridiculous interview today where Dan Steinberg talks to DeShawn about many things, including the fact that DeShawn will be going with a Kenny Smith-esque flat-top all season. We’ll let you read for yourself.

I am impressed with how lucid that was. Wow. Guess he lost that beard bet with Drew Gooden.
Still think its funny that announcers had to change his face-wave move as to not reveal the coke-relation of Tony Yayo’s “can’t feel my face” move. I ref drunk guys in the middle of nowhere alumni tournaments that use that move the one or two times they score. Consequently, those are also the guys that usually collect technical fouls; not for the move but for being general asses every moment of their lives.

He’s just like Dennis Rodman… except without the rebounding, height, toughness, championship rings, respect of his peers (at least where basketball ability is concerned, maybe not on a personal level, what with all the hair dying and wearing dresses and whatnot) and past relationship with Carmen Elektra.
Other than all that stuff, they’re exactly alike.

That was the most subtle way anyone has ever revealed himself as a cross dresser.

I predict DeShawn will go even further and attempt to be the new Michael Jordan… by doing away with baggy shorts and starting a short skirt trend.
They’ll even have to come up with new DeShawn Rules when defenders will shy away from defending him because they don’t want to accidentally grab the wrong balls when going for a steal.

Coincidentally enough homeless J, coming out of highschool, Deshawn was bein compared to Jordan

i predict homeless j has already tried to start the short skirt trend, but unfortunately was unsuccessful

Homeless J says:
A-Slam, I can see the similarities immediately. Just like Michael Jordan, DeShawn Stevenson ALSO went to high school. and just like Michael Jordan, DeShawn also owned a copy of Breakin’ 2: Electric Boogaloo and often worked out while watching it. Also, they are both known to have an undisclosed amount of teeth, two hands, two feet, two legs, two arms, and two eyes.
The only difference? Jordan has a crippling gambling addiction, which annually costs him more than DeShawn will make in his entire life. DeShawn typically only gambles with his facial hair, and only because he watched Knocked Up too many times.

Jeremy is correct. I wore the short skirt for a few games until it was decided that not only did it give me unprecedented catlike reflexes and agility, allowing me to move in ways that people wearing normal pants and shorts simply cannot, but I was also putting everyone else to shame with my style and flair. You’d be surprised how many people don’t want to play basketball with you anymore when you wear a skirt to the court and do the Ric Flair WOOO and strut every time you hit a basket. They simply couldn’t handle my swagger.

let’s get back on topic.
I don’t really mind Deshawn Stevenson, I think he knows his game is not on par with the NBA elite, just that he’s trying to have some fun with himself. I don’t see anything wrong with that.
I’d probably be acting a fool too, if I was in his position. Every time he does something, more and more people look, so I guess he’s getting the desired reaction.

jeremy says:
the full quote is: I’m the new Dennis Rodman. Without getting in trouble.” so i don’t think we’ll have to worry about the cross dressing.

This guy is a fucking retard. I’m going to grow a horrible beard, go out and call someone extraordinarily talented overrated, and make 12-year-old quality videos of myself acting like a moron.
Maybe then I can play for the Wizards and not get anywhere in the postseason. If only USA Basketball had a Special Olympics squad, they’d find their captain.

If USA Basketball had a Special Olympics squad, Chris Kaman wouldn’t have had to join Germany’s team just to get into the olympics.

So Gilbert Arenas has his own action figure, reality show, and let me guess he’s also coming out with a comic book called “Making money for me so I can pretend to give it to you”. I’m out like putting up posters of myself peace!
