[...] Matt McHale: Honestly? I’m bummed. Despite his flaws as a player — undersized, one-dimensional, a little shot-happy — Gordon, more than anyone else, was the team’s one true constant over the past four or five seasons. He missed only 12 games in five seasons. He never shot under 40 percent from three-point range (and only during his rookie campaign did he hit less than 41 percent). He led the Bulls in scoring the past four seasons. He never quit or gave up on the team, even after contract negotiations broke down the last two summers. No, he couldn’t defend bigger guards (which was pretty much everybody), but during his time in Chicago he was an exemplary player and person. (Well, exept for that time he cussed out Vinny Del Negro.) [...]

Ted — That quote is a direct quote from the old Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer skit from SNL (as linked in the post). Yeah, kind of obscure, I know…

Yes, Rose will be there for that game, but the Skills Challege would keep him there — GASP! — a whole extra day!

I shouldn’t make fun. I know the life of a pro athlete is tough, but still.

Your caveman is truly in a time warp. The Concorde was retired in 2003.

But your point about grabbing an opportunity to be involved in All Star Weekend is valid. Do you think that Rose was trying to be humble? Inside he was actually screaming “I’m going to Phoenix! I’m going to Phoenix!”

Besides which, wouldn’t he be going anyway for the Rookie-Soph game?
