Josh Q. Public:Who’s the newest guy in town? Go Joe Charboneau! Turns the ballpark upside down. Go Joe Charboneau! Who’s the one to keep our hopes alive? Straight from seventh to the pennant drive. Raise your glass, let out a cheer for Cleveland’s Rookie of the Year. -Super Joe Charboneau
Public Service Announcement: OK, here we go! Daniel Gibson. Even though there’s another man in my life, you will always be my Boo. Boo who? Last seen, Boobie Gibson was going five for five from Downtown Freddie Brown range in Game Six against the Deetroit Pistons. Last seen, like my main man Brock Lesner, Boobie Gibson was the Next Big Thing. What happened? Where did he go? Where have you gone, Joe DiMaggio? A nation turns its lonely eyes to you. Woo woo woo. What’s that you say, Mrs. Robinson? Joltin’ Joe has left and gone away. Hey hey hey, hey hey hey. Has Daniel Gibson left and gone away? Hey hey hey, hey hey hey. My thinking is yes. My thinking is Boo Gibson has gone the way of Falco. My thinking is Boo Gibson has gone the way of the Macerena. My thinking is Boo Gibson has gone the way of Rico Suave. This got me to thinking. Thinking about another one hit wonder. Got me to thinking about Richard Dumas. What a one hit wonder that cat was. 1993. Phoenix Suns. Playoffs. Playoffs baby, playoffs. There was Sir Charles coming out of the phone booth leaping over tall buildings in a single bound. There was Danny Ainge knocking down clutch tres against the Lakers. There was Thunder Dan Majerle just killing the Sonics. Killing them, I tell you. And then there was rookie sensation Richard Dumas. Live baby live, now that the day is over. I got a new sensation. New sensation Richard Dumas. Explosive. TNT, I’m dynamite. TNT, and I’ll win the fight. TNT, I’m a power load. TNT, watch me explode. New sensation Richard Dumas was dunking over everybody. New sensation Richard Dumas was dunking over anybody. Uh, and I’m the dunkadelic relic. Yeah, I’m the dunkadelic relic. Bring in the funk baby, bring it in, bring it. Dumas brought it. Brought it all the way to the finals. Ran into MJ in the finals. Ran into drug problems after the finals. And that, as they say, was all she wrote. I fear this too, will be all she wrote for one Daniel Gibson.
