First, some video of BS-YR, the newly named KBA ambassador to the Far East.
(Side note: this video is simultaneously horrifying and surreal. SY misses all his 3s in the "shooting" drill! Is passing against the wall and dribbling in a chair part of the NBA draft combine? Then watch the last 30 seconds when he scrimmages against grade schoolers, and goes into total dick mode. Can't believe the Lakers drafted him.)
It was another sparse turnout for KBA, with BS-YR on his KBA goodwill mission to China, EKE recovering from a calf injury, and the Napoleon Dynamite of Basketball self-imposed exile stretching into its 427th consecutive week. A surprise DNP-CD was Ricky F; early reports that he was unable to play to a nationwide street shortage of anabolic steroids could not be confirmed. Throw in the absence of Shan, Matt, Garo and the result was this:
(Side note: the only thing more awesome in this video than the player is the voice-over)
Now imagine 8 people in the court doing the EXACT same thing for 2 hours.
Duy, OD, Wah-qaeda, and Bieber Fever! took on NVE, Andytollah, Shahe Vujacic, and Rudy (Rony's friend: balding scrappy white guy who's five foot nothing). No seriously. After an hour of watching Andytollah barely lumber back to half-court on defense, Shahe Vujacic flinging jump passes in the stands and jump shots off the backboard, and Rudy jack up 15 footers that missed by 16 feet, the unthinkable happened.
NVE went into Ricky F mode. That's right, Mr. Play-the-Right-Way morphed into everything he ever stood for. The next 60 minutes were a blur of uncontested three-pointers, wild forays to the hoop, and lackluster hand-waving on defense for NVE...er, NVF. All of which was to no avail, as Team Shiet went down two more times with barely a whimper.
After the game, NVF was spotted sitting alone in the corner of the locker room, towel over his bowed head. When reporters asked about his unexpected on-court transformation, NVF shook his head and refused to respond. However, NVF had clearly cheered up later, when he was caught on video:
The question remains: will we see the return of good NVE or more of bad NVF next week at KBA?!
