Around SBN: Explaining Jeremy Lin's Early, Surprising Success

A recap of the time i closed my eyes to watch a basketball game

The Mr Nashville Tom (MNT) and his center of the solar system came to play the team I cheer for.  The advantage for MNT really isn't fair because he plays for more than one sun which is impossible because there isn't more than one sun.  There is only one sun in the sky, but they keep on saying we're the suns and in a battle with the sole light in the sky we will end up victorious because there are more of us and because as a team we shoot the 49.1% and the sun probably can't even shoot 8 % because it has no eyes and has to stand so far away from the basket because if it gets too close the basket goes up in flames.  Suns being plural of an object that there only exists one of is like the warriors changing their name to the Harry S. Trumans.  The only difference is that guy he is dead and the sun never knowingly dropped two atomic bombs on Japan which doesn't excuse its treatment of Venus and Mercury, but it is worth mentioning.
The score of the basketball game was 128 to 105.  The elves keeping track of the points coming out of their pocket and putting them into the box are starting to get upset about working the Warriors games because too many points are scored and it is too much work, but with the holidays over these elves don't have a lot of other options.
I didn't watch the game so I can't make a lot of comments on the game and the play of the sport by the two teams.  If you haven't figured that out after the first paragraph then I think we should begin writing letters to each other on old pizza bread.  No specific reason really.
I finally viewed the movie about Ricky Bobby.  Here is a review of that movie and how it relates to the Golden State Warriors.  The guy who drives the car is like your father who tells you how to dribble a basketball when you're growing up.  The father of the guy who drives the car is like that dribbled basketball.  The other guy who drives the car is like the hotel where the referees are staying tonight and the Cougar is like the guy selling popcorn in the stands.  When the movie ends and the guy who drives the car is the winner and so is the other guy who drives the car and now that you think about so is the third guy who drives a car because in the end everyone gets what they want, but yeah when the movie ends its like the tip off a basketball game.  Everyone jumps up and gets popcorn on themselves, but only one person gets the basketball.
Here is a stupid joke; does James Jones have a best friend named Earl?  It doesn't even make sense so instead of buying something I want to from the convenient store I decided to get something I knew I was allergic to only to see if I could win the battle, but kind of like the Biedermans I worked hard for the 17 rebounds, but ended up on the bench at the end of the game with only 7 points.

Great work of prose right there. No sarcasm at all. baumerworld is the only person who can somehow relate the game of basketball to a former president and the first two planets of our solar system. Amazing.

Ronald Reagan was a jerk.

Hear hear!
Baumer's posts are like a supernova of originality in the vast, cliché-ridden universe of conventional sportswriting and blogging. Sorry if that sounds like a cliché, but it's the best my prosaic mind can come up with. At least I recognize I'll never have Baumer's special gift.

Last week I was going to recommend a thorough reading of The Collected Works of Baumer to that college student who was soliciting comments on his rather sad "college term paper on the Warriors." If nothing else it would have shown the kid what it means to have a distinctive voice. Then I thought, why bother? Baumer's style is a bit like MJ's magical hoops skills -- something that can't be taught. Plus, questioning why it's so great might suck some of the poetry out of it. As Charles Mingus said about Jazz, "if you have to ask, you'll never know..."

Hey Baumer, one stylistic quibble: it's Harry S Truman -- with no period. Yes, the middle name is simply the letter "S." I'm sure you could weave a whole crazy tapestry of a post out of that one arcane fact. I was at the Peace Museum in Hiroshima just last week, so I could give you some historical/technical background if you needed it.

Seriously, dude, if you ironed out a just a few of the rough edges -- unnecessary double and triple spaces, lack of paragraph breaks, etc. -- your work would totally be publishable. I have half a mind to do it for you and send it to my friend who's an editor at the New Yorker. In a perfect world, quotes from your work on GSoM would be inscribed on walls at the Oracle...

Suns being plural
  of an object that there only exists one.

   These phoenix suns are not limited to our solar system, they are talent collected from the whole goddamn galaxy and even beyond probably from watching them play.
