Between his KFC rap, his Jim Rome is Burning correspondent piece (click here for video), and his recent arrest for carrying two handguns and a shotgun-in-empty-guitar-case, Delonte West has officially claimed the title for CRAZIEST DUDE IN THE NBA.
Ron Artest came in a close second, but we need Ron-Ron to step up his game if he’s serious about contending this 2009-10 season.
(Marbury is disqualified as we really can’t consider him an NBA player anymore- but he would have won this award by a landslide),

A lean Oliver Miller, probably weighing in at about 280 pounds during his second year in the L. He supposedly ballooned to 400 pounds towards the end of his career, but not before putting together one of the greatest pro basketball resumes of all time:
Phoenix Suns (1992-1994, 1999-2000)
Detroit Pistons (1994-1995)
Toronto Raptors (1995-1996, 1997-1998)
Dallas Mavericks (1996-1997)
Iraklio BC (Greece) (1998-1999)
Sacramento Kings (1999)
Harlem Globetrotters (2000, 2001)
Pruszkow (Poland) (2000-2001)
Roseto Basket (Italy) (2002)
Gary Steelheads (CBA) (2002-2003)
Southern California Surf (ABA) (2002)
Dodge City Legend (USBL) (2002)
Dakota Wizards (CBA) (2003, 2004)
Minnesota Timberwolves (2003-2004)
Indios de Mayagüez (Puerto Rico) (2004)
Texas Tycoons (ABA) (2004-2005)
Arkansas Rimrockers (ABA) (2005)
During his second stint with the Suns, he was famously fined for showing up late to a game, Bag of McDonalds in hand. Lots of Mickey D jokes inevitably followed, including this gem from Charles Barkley: “You can’t even jump high enough to touch the rim, unless they put a Big Mac on it.”
A Tower of Power indeed.
Uh oh. The rest of the Eastern Conference could be in trouble….
He may be a shell of his former self, but if he comes close to matching his numbers from last year (17 PPG, 8 RPG, 60% FG) the Cavs are going to be tough to beat.
Either way its a hell of an upgrade from Big Ben Wallace. No way they lose to the Magic with Shaq bangin down low with Dwight Howard. In my earlier post about a possible Rajon Rondo trade, I said I loved the Celtics chances of winning the East. Now, I’m not quite as confident. Although this article gives me a little hope.
Between Shaq and Lebron we’re going to see some pretty interesting pregame intro dances, comedy routines, etc. next season.
