While I was making this video, half of my brain was focused on the minutiae of actually doing proper editing for all these clips, and half of my brain was thinking about how I could make Bob Ross jokes in this video description. And actually there was another half of my brain that was trying to decide what I wanted to get from McDonalds for breakfast, but mostly I was thinkin about Bob Ross jokes. Like I could say the phrase “happy little trees”, but I don’t know how happy little trees would fit into the narrative of a video description that’s ostensibly supposed to be about a basketball player rather than a jolly painting instructor who everybody ironically adores. It would require the expenditure of more brain power to figure out how to craft that narrative.
By the way, I’ve decided on two sausage mcmuffies and a hashbrown slab from McDonalds. Yum.
My thoughts about Bob Ross were dispelled, however, when the Hornets commentators brought up an even more topical comparison for Frank Jackson’s somewhat goofy appearance: Anderson Varejao! The comparisons are there, and they’re obvious. The floppy curls that Jackson has adopted are nearly identical to (although perhaps more voluminous than) Varejao’s famously floppy hair that matched his famously floppy style of play. And with the news that Varejao is randomly making a return to the Cavaliers to help them finish out the last two weeks of another failed season, this comparison is easier to make than ever before. It’s so easy to make that I’m honestly embarrassed that I needed Eric Collins to tell me about it rather than me coming up with it organically by forcing the gray matter that sloshes around in my skull to generate wholly original thoughts.
Unrelated question: why did the Thunder waive this guy? He would probably be their best player right now with Horford and SGA out. Was he too good? Is that why they waived him?
