First, we have this video of Baron, Stephen Jackson, and Al Harrington dancing to Soulja Boy Tellem. Shoals gave as good a take on the dancing as possible over at FD, saying that "The dance has become a tic, a comforting gesture, a stance." In the comments of that post, rebar makes an excellent point on the non-Soulja part of the video, explaining that Baron has become a combination of seriousness and goofiness that has before now been associated primarily with Agent Zero. Honestly, I don't have much to add to this one -- I just think it needs to be seen by everyone and hope I've touched someone's life.
Henry Abbott put this video up on TrueHoop the other day, but I think the link died, so I'm doing my part here. I really can't discuss this one rationally, so I'll do my best in bullet form:
- Andris talks about horseshoes like it's a great American pastime. I think I've played it once or twice.
- Why are they playing horseshoes in the first place? They couldn't just have a roundtable or video game battle?
- Andris appears to be hosting the game. Apparently they don't put the rookies in the classy part of the resort.
- The music and video quality makes me think they filmed this one in 1986.
- Andris: "Marco's on fire." Get used to that one.
- The Andris narration is fantastic. Sign him up for an audiobook.
- Kosta Perovic appears to be the best at this game, which makes me think he has no chance of being a serviceable NBA player.
- Andris: "See, me and Kosta, that's how we do here." I could not have said it better myself.
