Last week, I noticed that there were like, three pages of results if you search “Oklahoma City” on one of our favorite sites, and some of the best satire anywhere, The Onion. I’m not going to try to crack too wise on these little nuggets because by design, they are already wisecracks. But won’t it be fun to get my take on and rank such great material? Sweet, plentiful boobs I hope it is. So now, I bring you..
The Top 5 OKC Stories on The Onion
5.) Kevin Durant High-Dribbler in Win w/186 Bounces
OKLAHOMA CITY—Thunder guard Kevin Durant dribbled the ball 73 times in the fourth quarter, leading all dribblers with 186 bounces in Oklahoma City’s win against the New York Knicks Saturday. “At first I was trying to just be patient and dribble only when I had to, like to avoid traveling and to run the offense,” said Durant, who is third in the league with 147.6 dpg and a 99.8 dribble percentage. “I know we’re not supposed to admit it, but yeah, by the end I was counting. 182, 183, 184, 185, 186 bounces. It felt good. Honestly, I was in such a zone that it felt like I was dribbling on a court twice as big.” Durant also led both teams with 43 jumps and 1,227 steps taken
Dammit, that’s funny. Also, it got me thinking: What if things like that really were important stats? In what you call “sawkker”, they actually count the touches a player has on the ball, but that usually translates into how many times that guy had the ball; not how many times he actually touched it. As boring as that is, what if they kept a stat in what you call “football” for Number of Butts Touched? Not so funny now, is it? “Wow, that was a really solid, extended NBT, Troy. Nice.” Joe Buck. Pffffft.
