Its the weekend, and it is too nice to be stuck inside and posting, so I leave you with a classic Bugs Bunny cartoon of him playing ball on the Polo Grounds. Enjoy it if you’re stuck inside this weekend.
In a desperate attempt to find something not related to the NBA Draft or Chris Benoit to blog about, the Deuce reached back to our collective childhoods and thought about how we might wish to be spending these dog days of summer…and then I found 4 guys holding their own Slip n’ Slide Championships and thought, “Fuckit, this is getting posted and I am sleeping.”
Giving the little guys a chance because apparently Deadspin wont. Welcome to the Constitutional.
…and when i mean a long way, I mean that they’ve come a long way from being bad to being fucking horrible. NBA.com, in preparation for their Draft today, has posted a slideshow of “Draft Styles” over the years, and it is hilarious and gruesome at once, but there is definitely one shot that I think best captures the moment of awkwardness that comes with walking up to a napoleonic David Stern immediately after just being chosen to be a multi-millionaire:
Stern’s mustache is EPIC while Olajuwon’s tux with red (why red??) bow tie really sets off his vacant “Who the fuck is this midget?” and “Did I get drafted over Michael Jordan?” zombie-stare.

I must know how long this took to set up.
