Welcome to Raef Is About Power, a soon to be failed experiment in teaching you people the things you need to know about sports and such. Stay tuned for what is sure to be a wild ride that will be sometimes fun, sometimes offensive, and always misinformed.
Where do the Blazers finish in the Western Conference this year?
The Hate List
Now, THIS is why I started this blog. To rant and rave about all the douchebags in the NBA. So, here it is, The Hate List. Otherwise known as...Who I hate the most in the NBA, right now. (Updated diligently every second, on the second)
1. kobe bryant 2. Manu Ginobili's game - Flop, Bitch, Flop, Moan, Flop, Whine, Flop, Flop, Flop, Flop. This isn't soccer Womanu! 3. "Emotional Steve" Javie - The game is intense, the crowd is going crazy, and Javie is T'ing up the visitors... Another day at the office for this prick. 4. Lamar Odom - If you're a big enough douche that Travis Outlaw and LaMarcus Aldridge want to fight you.... You're a HUGE douche! 5. Hedo Turkaglu - You motherf#$%ing lucky son of a bitch! You will pay for that. Blazers, like elephants, NEVER forget. 6. Bruce Bowen - Seriously... what a dick! 7. "Big Bird" Gasol - Bock Bock, Bitch! 8. Tony Longoria- I'm not buying the whole "Parker" thing for a second. He's the woman in the relationship, so he changes his name. That simple. 9. Mike Dunleavy Jr. - Jesuit? Duke? Ugh. He just needs to sign with the lakers and get it over with. 10. Nate Robinson - I'd try to fight him, but I try not to pick fights with children... very often.
Congratulations Vanilla Gorilla!
Congrats Joel on winning the innagural TrailBlazer Nickname Poll! While there was stiff competition from such trusty and clever names as Date Raef, Troutlaw, Sticky Buns, and Who? (James Jones!), there was really never any doubt who the winner was going to be. Taking home an astounding 35% of the votes (and nearly tripling the nearest competition), The Vanilla Gorilla walked away victorious, like only a 7 foot tall Minnesotan with a terrifyingly enourmous appetite for rebounds and block shots can.... Triumphantly.
So, in honor of the 2007-08 TrailBlazers Nickname Poll Champion, Raef is About Power would like to extend a whole hearted, well-deserved "Not in MY house!" to the entire TrailBlazer team, courtesy of Joel "The Vanilla Gorilla" Przybilla!
*Special congratulations to J.P.'s psuedo-Mexican alter ego, of the same name, pronounced Yoel "The Vaneeya Goreeya" Przybeeya.
Who has the best nickname on the Blazers?
