Saturday Morning Cartoons: The Great Wall of KD

June 5th, 2010 Royce Young

(Morning pals. Thank you for your support of DT. Back in Oklahoma. Feels good.)

First off, there are no words that can accurately sum up the loss of John Wooden. Yeah, he was fine basketball coach. The unquestioned greatest ever. But he wasn’t just the best with a clipboard. He led men. And he was undoubtedly one of the finest human beings this earth has ever seen. I hope he enjoys watching the Finals from above.

But here’s your cartoon. KD is in China promoting the new KDII. Here’s a picture of that shoe. (Notice the 30.1 on the back – neat.) Here’s a video from Reuters that even has a player dunking nearby KD in a pickup game. No, the tape was not confiscated. But Durant is really embracing the China tour and it looks like he’s pretty popular there. Also, this picture is awesome.

well as long as brooks can keep the defensive plan we will be ok, maybe we replace him with an offensive master, to give us an offensive scheme to match over defense

Maybe Lawrence Frank is available for an assistant spot to replace Ron Adams.

Mark!

What a shame; those are the only two assistants I care about.

If we lose them both, I'd say that increases the odds of Ollie staying on as an assistant.

The Bulls and Tom Thibodeau have agreed to a deal for him to be head coach of the team. Looks like we're going to lose Ron Adams and maybe Mo Cheeks:

Sources said Thibodeau is expected to keep Pete Myers on his staff and bring with him former Bulls and current Thunder assistant Ron Adams. Other candidates for his staff include Thunder assistant Mo Cheeks, former Knicks assistant Andy Greer and former Kings coach Eric Musselman.

If this is true it'd be interesting to see how the team progresses. Ron Adams was supposedly the architect of our defense.

Royce, i'm glad you mentioned John Wooden.. When I did a sports show on OKC radio, we were one of only 5 stations that Wooden's people granted an interview for when he released an inspirational type book.. (we were a Christian rock station, but we did a weekly sports show).. it was an incredible opportunity and Coach Wooden was a total class act.. the coolest part? we called him at his home, so i still have Coach Wooden's, all time greatest coach in sports history, home phone number in my cell phone.. :) he was an incredible coach and an even better person..

and yes, that pic of KD and the panda is amazing.. he's such a fun, cool dude..
