The Top 14 Cool Things
About Owning an NBA Team
- Get to say things like "I'm looking for a guy with good ball-handling skills" without getting your ass kicked.
- Not that you would, but if you wanted to you could rename them the Dallas Binky-Bonky-Boinky-Bunnies.
- Your friends may have Picassos and Rembrandts hanging in their drawing rooms; but YOU have a 6'8" purple-haired tattoo-covered ex-rebound champ serving cocktail wienies.
- You don't see the babes flocking to a badminton team owner, do you?
- Forget to buy your girlfriend a birthday gift? No sweat -- have Rodman spot you a fur coat and some jewelry.
- Good for some serious "street cred" with the other young billionaires.
- Getting to approve the final design of the cheerleaders' uniforms.
- "...and for the fifth pick in the draft, the Mavericks select Hugh Jass. Hugh Jass? Is there a Hugh Jass here? Mavericks, could you please bring your Hugh Jass up to the podium?"
- Always a chance Van Gundy will hump your leg.
- NBA players are in it for the pure joy of the sport -- unlike those greedy bastards in the NFL.
- Get to hit Shaq upside the head for making "Kazaam."
- For every hottie the players get, you get 20!
- You get to one-up Bill Gates with snide comments like, "So, how is YOUR team doing? Oh, that's right, you don't HAVE a team, do you?"
and the Number 1 Cool Thing About Owning an NBA Team...
- Can tell the coach to run plays that involve pulling down the other team's shorts.
