Charles Oakley is supposed to put out a book with the usual “TELL ALL” keyword that gives book agents boners. So, with that said, from whom else would a tell-all book be appropriate? Word on the Streetz surveys:
Kelly Burns

“I’d like to read a book
by Kobayashi. You just
know there’s bound
to be at least one story
of him going down on
dudes.” 
Lord Richard
Featherbottom
Writer
“Heave ho! What’s this
scocery? How did I get
trapped in this white
box?!? Release me I say!”
Charles Barkley
Former NBA
player/fat guy
“There’s only one
book y’all need to read,
and it’s mine! If you don’t
read it, I’ll eat you all!”

So while this Tim Douchebagnaghy news is all over the place like Britney Spears’ cellulite, some of us REAL basketball fans still love the game. Word on the Streetz asks if anyone else remember that Team USA thing:
Richard Yang
Boat Captain
“Team USA? That’s
the myth we were told
when we were kids
right? Haha yeah, sure,
I’ll bet that they win
just as soon as pigs can
fly an F17.
Successfully.”
Emily Veere
Part-Time Superhero
“Oh sure, I love seeing
how some guy from
Greece can hit 13 threes
EVEN THOUGH
IT’S THREE FEET
SHORTER!!
God that’s fucking
annoying.”
Lil’ Kim
Book publisher
“I think they’re being
smart this year: having
more than one token
white guy out there
I mean– the other teams
just might confuse them
with their own players!”
