They’re All NOT Playing Basketball!

With my team recently sent home early from the playoffs for the first time in half a decade I was curious as to what mischief the Lakers could get themselves into. So I turned to the NBA’s pros at this sort of thing – the perennial early exiters from the Playoffs to see how they spend their time.

Carmelo Anthony, long known for his early demises with the Denver Nuggets, helped the New York Knicks lose to the Celtics is Round One. How is he spending his summer vacation? He’s taking care of his camel. That’s correct, the New York boy may have just put his hometown back at the top of eccentric athletes with this humpy animal. If Ama’re doesn’t come around Carmelo may be starting alongside that thing next season.



While buying an exotic pet is certainly crazy enough for Ron Artest it lacks the Hollywood d-bag feel of Lamar Odom’s life. You know what he could do? Host a lap dance night at a strip club like Washington’s Aundray Blatche.



And if a regular strip club isn’t good enough for Lamar he could always get Nicky Minaj to give out the lap dances to his teammates. The Kardashians have to know her, right?

But what to do for Andrew Bynum? He doesn’t have enough personality to pull off any of this stuff. Well, since he’s a thug now he could get a stupid Affliction style back tattoo like Andrei Kirilenko.



If anyone knows about trying to look tough it’s Kirilenko, who is too chicken to cheat on his wife even though she gives him a hall pass every season.

I’m obviously not taking the Lakers’ loss too well. Also, if this video and David Hasselhoff music is what they unleashed on the NBA world I’m truly sorry.
