Player of the Month & ReRe of the Month

My big brother is NBDL player of the month. Be sure to let him know how cool you know he is :)

In 11 games, he has averaged 22.3 points and converted 48.9-percent from the field (88-of-180). He was also good on 64.3-percent from behind the three-point line (9-of-14) and made 60-of-69 free throw attempts (.870). He helped lead the Dazzle to a 7-4 record in the month, pulling them to within one game of first place in the league standings.

ALSO (ooo!), he leads the NBDL in scoring with 19.4 points per game, free throw percentage at .891 (82-of-92), and is second in the league in three-point field goal percentage at .522 (12-of-23).

[The NBDL, the NBA’s minor league, includes the Fayetteville Patriots (N.C.), Florida Flame (Ft. Myers), Huntsville Flight (Ala.), Roanoke Dazzle (Va.), Columbus Riverdragons (Ga.) and Asheville Altitude (N.C.). The league offers players the opportunity to develop their talent in a highly competitive atmosphere under the NBA’s umbrella.]

In other news, I'm sure most of you have heard about
Daunte Culpepper's faux pas with the paralyzed high school football player. In case you missed it, our favorite Minny mental defective ungifted $75,000 in diamond necklaces from some random paralyzed kid - one was the No. 11 and the other was a large pepper...for Culpepper. I know it makes little sense for some professional athlete to just hand over $75,000 in bling just because you asked him to but what in the hell was Culpepper thinking? Does the kid really need this crap around his neck? He can't even move his bloody arms! I'm just spitballing here but maybe an additional 20 pounds of rock is compounding the issue... Nice moves, Daunte. But we probably can't blame him. He's functionally retarded. Throwing to No. 84 = good. Throwing to non-purple men = bad. Run to the big yellow posts at end of the field = good. Getting tackled by non-purple men = bad. I think Culpepper actually needed his necklaces back. I'm gonna take a shot in the dark and say that his address is engraved on the opposite side. If he gets lost or has any struggles getting on the short bus, he can turn to the bling. Let's face it, when you take the helmet and the jersey away, it tends to cloud the issue for some of these guys. "Ah, No. 11... That's me!" "Pepper... that's for me!" There ya go, Daunte! There ya go, buddy! And is all of this really surprising to any of you? He's a wondertard, but the public is hampered by the fact that we don't see him without his helmet very often... which may be by design. Just look at him here. Is that guy REALLY aware of what's going on? If I had to guess, someone told him to put on his helmet; it's time to finger paint.
