Here’s an interesting stat that the Warriors commentators brought up during last night’s Warriors-Wolves game: both Chase Budinger and Kevin Love have only appeared in 18 games this season. One of them got legitimately injured in a game, and the other purposely broke his hand doing knuckle pushups so he could lower his value and get dealt to the Lakers. I’ll leave it up to the viewer to ascertain which is which.
Another fun fact is that Chase Budinger was a star volleyball player in high school. He should have stuck with that. I’m sure basketball pays a lot better, but those plastic-looking cheerleaders he sees at games are nothing compared to the female volleyball players he no doubt got to spend a lot of time with. Those shorts. Oh my god. They will turn a normal man like me into a lecherous womanizer in two seconds flat.
A word to the wise: if you’re at your place of work and using a work computer, do not run a Google image search on “volleyball shorts”. On the plus side, now I have more time for highlights.
