Empty the Bench

I said I wanted to see more of JaVale McGee two weeks ago, and now I have. And Andray Blatche. And Nick Young. And Mike James (No, this isn’t an NBA version of Which One of These Things Is Not Like the Others).

The below video has been making the rounds this morning. I first saw it on Mr. Irrelevant, who found it on the always solid Bullets Forever. I’m not sure what to make of it to be honest, but I like it. They’re clearly spoofing the Nike commercial from a few years back, but to what end? The kids are rocking Undrcrwn so it could be a spot for them, but the old man is sporting Sean John so that would seem to nix that idea – unless James just showed up and insisted he be included, which would actually make perfect sense.

In any event, as I said, I like it. The video just highlights the group of fun, young kids they have down in The District, the guys who have made Wiz games (sorta) worth watching despite this unmitigated disaster of a season. Their clowning definitely comes off a lot more genuine and genuinely fun than a certain Wizards ex-blogger.
