Ben Olsen’s San Antonio Bone Spurs

Steven Goff reports:

I checked in this weekend with DCU’s Ben Olsen for a status report on his ankles, which underwent surgery after the season. He says: “They feel much better now that the San Antonio bone spurs are gone. They cut out a couple Duncans and a Ginobili and I’m a new man.” On a serious note, he adds: “Yeah, they feel good but have a little tendinitis from coming back, but that’s normal I think from all the junk they took out.”

Clever, Ben. But you are cutting the wrong players! Your ankles need Duncan and Ginobli. Who is gonna box out your anterior talofibular ligament, if not Ducan? And who will hand check your fibula all night, if not Ginobli.

I’ll tell ya who you drop — Brent Barry and Matt Bonner. White stiffs. No one’s ankle needs to be stiff.

All this talk about basketball got us thinking about how much we miss Gilbert Arenas (even though the Wiz are playing well without him) and then we remembered Gil’s a big Penny Hardaway fan and then we remembered we’re big Lil Penny fans . . . so we we looking for some Lil Penny:

“One Penny and a Bunch of Loafers.”

They just don’t make sneaker commercials like this anymore.

It’s hilarious AND beautiful all at the same time. Chris Rock? Tyra Banks? Fat dude taking a cannonball to the gut?

I know there are a ton of LeBron commercials (and scores more to come) but the romance of sneaker ads will never surpass the golden age of the late 80s / early 90s.

And likewise my love affair with the NBA will never be the same.
