Five NBA Players I Want To Give Buckets
Jeff GreenThere’s no one in the League that I’d rather score on than DeShawn Stevenson. He talks incessantly and still does that stupid “I can’t feel my face” thing - it’s done nothing but turn him into a villain. I’m not saying it’d be easy. But there’d be nothing better than sticking a jumper on DeShawn.
For me, there are a couple of other guys throughout the League who I’d want to get buckets on - but no one who takes precedence over DeShawn.
* Andres Nocioni - Though I agree with Pat that Nocioni would be a good teammate, I also would love to go right at him and score. He’d take any type of elbow, shoulder, or knee and give it right back.
* Ime Udoka - Everyone hypes Udoka as Bruce Bowen’s successor. I don’t buy it. He’s a good defender, but he isn’t that good.
* Jeff Green/Roy Hibbert - I like John Thompson III. I like Allen Iverson. I like Jonathan Wallace. Everyone else from Georgetown should be on this list with Green and Hibbert. If choosing Udoka didn’t piss Austin off, this will.
* Yao - Ever since Yao stood up off the Chinese National team’s bench to cheer his team on when they were trailing by 60 (or something like that) in the fourth quarter, I’ve had a white-hot hatred for him. How are you supposed to be your nation’s hero when your contribution is pumping your fist while your team gets kicked in the groin? If I couldn’t get a bucket, I’d be satisfied giving him an offensive foul.

Austin Burton says:
So you wanna go there, Katz? Just wait until next year when Jeff Green is dunking on your cousin Hansbrough. And it would take you four months to score on Udoka.

BRUCE BOWEN. And probably Shaq, ’cause every basket I make in his grill would spark the inevitable talk of “4 years ago, no WAY he makes that shot!” and it would drive Shaq NUTS. It’d be HILARIOUS. Until he flagrant 2’s my @$$, then it wouldn’t be too funny after that…

I would love to give Raja Bell buckets. He seems like he gets so pissed, you could drive him to some sort of meltdown.

@ JA -
Katz plays exactly like Tyler Hansbrough, minus the athleticism and other general basketball skills.

JR says:
u joking me with yao? the guys been working his arse off every summer playing for his country, even rushing back after a couple of major season ending injuries, which were probably caused by his year-long commitments in the first place. u can hate on anybody all u want, but jus gotta come up with a reason that makes better sense.

Drink the Haterade (KB24 Chip 09) says:
I would like to give buckets to PP and KG, just Dunk on KG’s head (if I could dunk) but just bury the mid range in his grill and take PP to the rack. But I also agree with Raja and eshawn

Smitty313 says:
KG I would love to score on him for all that extra intensity bull shit. There are alot of intense players Kobe, Lebron, even Duncan, but KG is overboard.
Damon Jones were he’s at right now. Just for saying he’s the best dressed player in the NBA, when he looks like a clown everytime I seen him on the sidelines or off court somewhere.
Anybody with signature hand gestures. Mutumbo, Deshawn, Q-Rich and Darius a few years ago, just so I can mock them with back with their own shit.

Aron says:
I would love to give buckets to Matt Carroll. How this guy has been in the League for six years and STARTED amazes me.

Kobe. Then I could claim that I’m the best player on the planet. Even if it’s far from the TRUTH…

Talented says:
Brian Scal - He yaps and has yet to back anything up in my eyes, some of us could prolly beat him one on one for his contract.
Bruce Bowen - To say i gave one of the best defenders str8 buckets.
Yao - He plays soft and i wanna prove it to him.

hey andrew, tell me how my ass tastes. Yao’s cheering is called heart and patriotism, something a “I’ll suddenly jump on redeem team’s jock and say that i’m american” writer won’t know sh*t about, go find a job at your local newspaper’s sports column…..

A$$Cube aka Player Hater says:
I’d like to score on Kobe and remind him he DID score on that chick from Colorado –eventhough it seems everybody have forgotten/don’t give a damn about it!
I’d like to score on KG and mimic his stupid monkey/clown behavior he performed against Calderon.
I’d like to bet with LeBron I can score on him, then do it, and make it sign this Darfour petition he didn’t wanna sign when then-teammate Ira Newble offered him to.
All-time I’d like to score on MJ and leave the court ASAP before he goes all bananas on me and score the next 50 points of his team.

For me it’s got to be JJ Redick, just because and being from TO Vince all day long.

Kobe admitted he hit that. Just not rape. No one forgot, it’s just that no one cares. that was like 5 years ago.

It would have to be Yao just to get the satisfaction of seeing him walk back with head down. Making Yao hang his head like that has to be one of the best feelings ever…

Big Sia says:
DOPE post and concept.
Personally i’d go at Bruce Bowen for days. One of the league’s dirtiest bar none. I’d like to break him off with a step back
Completely agree with Nocioni. Dunking on Noch would be so satisfying, the guy just looks and acts like a Herb
Last but not least, I would dunk on Sean Bradley’s family

derrick says:
seriously, the fact that yao cheered his team while they were down pissed you off? gtfo man, that’s a really dick reason. game out of reach, u want him to go out there and play? u think the rockets would have wanted that? i think the rockets already got kinda jacked when he decided to rest up and recover for the olmpics so that he played is heart enough man. i can understand wanting to score on him cuz he’s soft, but yours is a real bitch ass reason.
