Wrong Kobe but Right Coby

ESPN is by far my favorite sports website. I do check out SI, Sportsline and a few others, but usually ESPN hits the spot. Today there was a hidden gem of an article providing unintentional comedic quotes throughout.

The article is about Coby Karl, son of Nuggets basketball coach George Karl, and how he is testing out the NBA draft waters which included a workout for his fathers Nuggets. The story is a solid heartwarmer with Coby recently going through cancer treatment and attempting to take advantage of his possible opportunities to enter the world of professional basketball. And of course its always a story when a celebrated coach's son is on his way to his fathers world. But what made this article stand out as not just a heartwarmer were the overly humurous statements made by son and by father.

"He knows me probably better than anyone so that would be an advantage, but that's in a dream world." Coby

I love the bluntly obvious statements. But throwing in the probably makes it classic. Who is his direct competition, maybe Rick Adelman? Larry Brown. I would certainly hope it isn't Doc Rivers.

"He's a great dad as it is," Coby Karl added. "But as a basketball coach, he's even better."

So this means he's certainly not a championship level father. Are we going with the whole career, or are we just taking the high moments with the Sonics, was he a better father than a basketball coach when he was with the Bucks? I certainly hope so.

After weighing in at 205 a few weeks prior, "I'm at 211, but my body fat's where it was before," Coby Karl said. "So, I think I got stronger through the process mentally and physically."

Yes, Coby you most certainly added 6 pounds to your brain. Pure muscle baby, pure muscle.

"Today was a proud moment for me," George Karl said, "I know it isn't big time but it is big time..."

Um ok George. Did you have two little George's battling to a bloddy draw on your shoulder on whether or not it was in fact big time.

I enjoyed it here's the article: Coby Karl works out for Nuggets and his father.

Numbers On Steroids: Bret Boone

Numbers on Steroids is a look at baseball players during the 90s to see if anything screams out at you. Mr. Boone was once the best power hitting second baseman in the league. How questionable was his success? Averages Say: Why the extra plateu in his mid 30s? At Bats Per Home Run Says: Lowest at Bats Per Home Runs at 37? Hmm.... Explaining It Away Yeak, this one is tough. Umm, late bloomer? He showed potential power early in his career and he just liked playing in Seattle a lot more than everywhere else? And umm, his career was kind of like a running backs in that it just all of a sudden fell off the map? Any of these convincing you? The Verdict Guy never hits more than 24 home runs in a season and then in his age 32 season he hits 37? And in SafeCo a pitchers park to boot? And he follows that up with 24, 35, 24 homer years still at SafeCo? And then he completely falls off the map in 2005 never to be heard from again? We've got a Screamer... Man Get Big Muscles In 30s. Hm...
