O Captain, My Captain....
You may have heard about the Warriors Stephen Jackson having his captaincy stripped/relinquished with the Golden State Warriors.
Yes, THAT Stephen Jackson. The same guy who once brandished a dust bucket at fans during the “Malice at the Palace.”
Captain.
Leader.
Golden State actually named him that. But not no more. Jackson gave it up after he was fined and suspended again by the team.
Jackson may be one of the WORST “Captain's” of all time. Let's take a look....

You may be surprised to hear this, but intelligence isn't a prerequisite to play in the NBA.
ReplyDeleteWhen my son was 4 years old, he pretty much figured out all you need to know to play basketball just from watching a few Wizards games.
This may explain why basketball and the very similar games of soccer and hockey are the most popular international team sports.

ReplyDeleteSorry had a misspelling...
ReplyDeleteExcellent post, Czabe. I have had many a run-in with Captain Morgan and let me tell you, he's a baby compared to the effing Captain Everclear. Captain Everclear will make you go blind, forget a day and a half and can literally kill you, all for under ten dollars.
That said, you should have mentioned Captain Tiberius Kirk, Starship Enterprise. Strength - Enough testosterone to let him take on a room full of Klingons; The only man to beat the computer at 3-Dimensional Chess. Weakness - Women of any color (even green); An ego the size of the Enterprise bridge itself.
Thanks for the space to finally get this off my chest.
Captain Benjamin Franklin "Hawkeye" Pierce
ReplyDeleteStrengths: A "top flight surgeon"
Weakness: A drunken lech panty waist bleeding heart liberal
