I'm throughly convinced, following all of Gilbert Arenas' off, and side of, court antics this season, that NBA players need to spend a couple of games on the bench and miked up every season. They are vastly entertaining. Dirk Nowitzki is your latest sideline hilarity machine, as he gives FSN a interview from the Mavericks bench, via Odenized, natch. The first part where his earpiece stops working is funny, but the end (4:10 in) is absolutely hilarious -- the earpiece fails again and he just takes play-by-play over, dropping a "Bucket!" and then calling "short bus!" when Corey Maggette left a jumper short.
I really need to know if it's kosher to yell short bus, because if it is, I just got a new, albeit annoying, catch phrase for the next week or so. Oh yeah, and I just noticed this on my 15th view, but Captain Maturity, Mark Cuban, gives Dirk bunny ears as he was turning away from the camera. I don't even know what to say about that.
