I’m honestly overwhelmed by the amount of jokes I could be making right now. I’m paralyzed, I can’t settle on just one when there are SO MANY. And I know I should probably be more respectful to this dude, because it’s not like he chose his last name, and he’s probably really tired of hearing about it.
But his name is frickin’ Jay Scrubb. SCRUBB. Can you believe that? His literal, honest-to-god name is SCRUBB!
SCRUBB!!!!!!!!
We’re taking the DownToBuck-patented concept of “scrublights” and taking them to a whole other level now. A new, more literally-minded level. “Scrubblights”. Scrublights are just highlights of scrubs. Scrubblights are highlights of Jay Scrubb.
Scrubblights have been in short supply this season. I noticed during the draft that a dude named Scrubb got drafted, and it got me really excited. More excited for the upcoming season that I had ever been up to that point. Because the promise of making Scrubblights was so enthralling to me. But he was a late pick, 55th overall, and the Clippers didn’t even manage to get him into a game until this week.
Just saying, that’s evidence of discrimination right there. You use a pick on a guy, and you can’t find him even a little bit of playing time until the season is almost over? Scrubs are a protected class, NBA teams can’t just discriminate against them simply by virtue of them being scrubs. Same with Scrubb. You can’t just discriminate against him simply because his name is Scrubb. That’s called nomenclaturism, and it’s wrong. It’s 2021, people.
Anyway, now he’s finally getting to play a bit. 4 minutes and 9 seconds of time two games ago, 4 minutes and 9 seconds (am I losing my mind here????) a game ago where he scored the first 4 points of his career, and now this. THIS. 40 minutes, 17 points, it was a frickin’ verifiable Scrubbfest. And I’m so hyped.
