Blondes, Brunettes and Redheads by Ron Richards @#%$ ..... @#%$  ..... @#%$ Good, got it off my chest. I thought I was going to have that heart attack I hinted at after Sene was chosen at 10. Damn the Sonics. Let’s sign Chris Wilcox just to spite them. I hope a Tsunami floods Seattle and washes away the whole damn team. May the local wild berries cause diarrhea, followed by incontinence, the sweats, and a particularly virulent case of anything that’s unpleasant, discomforting, and down right miserable. May you run out of toilet paper. May your toilet decide it’s on strike. May ............There....Feel better. Just a little. Then, right after that, Orlando drafts my next choice. JJ no D Reick. (Props, Sarge). I didn’t want the bum, anyway. After watching him chug down Antabuse tabs at his table with....Water..... I started crying uncontrollably, and drew stares from clear up in minority heaven. Ok, so there was an albino white guy with an afro up there. He was scary looking, all 5'4" of him...... But before I could slash my wrists with my pencil, Mr. Stern announced the Jazz had selected Ronnie Brewer. Hmmm.......Good first name, we could work with that......He can run, jump, defend, pass, shoot, rebound, he’s a great kid, good parents, what’s not to like? Then I watched some clips of him, he’s got great court vision, can really handle the ball and dunk like it wasn’t an accident, Hmmmmmmm..........his shot, though funky, works, and the ball comes off his fingers nicely and rotates just like it ought to. It sounds pretty normal as it snaps the twines of the net, and he has a great arc to his shot that makes for the highest percentages........ Ok....I’m fickle. When the blonde I see in the grocery store looks better than the brunette I saw five minutes ago, and then the brunette looks better the next time I see her in frozen foods.....I simply can’t make my mind up. Sure, JJ has the prettiest jump shot ever, sort of like the blonde’s assets that maximize just how good a t-shirt can look, but then there’s Ronnie swiping the ball and slamming it down with authority after running the court like that damn deer........And then I see the brunette with shorts clear up to there and long, curly hair framing a heartbreaking face.... You didn’t believe me, did you? Fickle, fickle, fickle. I thought about it a little, and it’s a good thing, really. It’s harder to have your heart broken when you can’t remember why you really cared so much in the first place. Though that t-shirt........I can still remember it like it was today. Ok, it was today....... So what I’m trying to say is this...........Basketball players are like beautiful women, they all have warts and they all have beauty, but it’s dependent on the eye of that proverbial beholder where it lies and what makes them attractive or not so attractive. Personally, I like blondes. Brunettes. Redheads. I like short hair, long hair, medium hair.......skinny girls, voluptuous girls, short girls, tall girls...... I also like precision shooters like JJ.....or super quick tall guards who can handle the ball with anyone, dunk on anyone, rebound with anyone....sound like anyone? I’m really looking forward to the RMR, and watching our new SG tear the league up. A few words about our second rounder's. We did good. No, really, we did good. Dee Brown is a perfect change of pace from Deron. I think he and Deron will be buddies on the Jazz for a long, long time. Paul Millsap can do one thing better than anyone in the draft. Eat. No, come to think of it, he’s only good at eating, and great at rebounding. I don’t remember anyone leading the country in rebounding three years in a row. That might be a indication he can rebound. It’s going to be fun. I may have to throw my laptop at Sene as he runs by my table.
