Household Names (Social Experiment)

[Thee Idiotic Minivan K]

My wife refused to go along with the experiment. Lol

I’m working on it. She’s upset with me.

You didn’t marry an idiot.

 

[Thee Idiotic Minivan K]

You didn’t marry an idiot.

My only redeeming quality

My wife said:

Rudy Rubio
Rudy Gobert
Donovan Mitchell
Lebron James
And finally:
Gunkavich.

Good ole' Gunk. Or Gunkie as the real fans like to call him/her.

 

[LogGrad98]

You didn’t marry an idiot.

Makes me wonder....how?

 

[TheGoldStandard]

Good ole' Gunk. Or Gunkie as the real fans like to call him/her.

I was pounding the table with laughter, she really thought Gunk was a player.

Basketball is on in my house every night during the season, often four games in split view on my 120" screen. I guess my wife is very talented at tuning it all out. Reminds me of the time that she screamed, "ARE YOU EVEN LISTENING TO WHAT I'M SAYING!!!!" I thought it was a really weird way to start a conversation...


My nine year old daughter did a much better job. My two-year old keeps stealing my basketballs from my gym bag and putting them in her play room. She likes to say "GO JAZZ!", any time there is a game on the TV. At least my kids were on top of things.

 

[Jazzinho]

Luka Doncic
Mitchell
LeBron James

Bo Cruz
Desmond Bane (we went to a fair amount of TCU games 3 years ago)

[Coach Ellis]

Just for fun, I asked my wife if she knew any retired NBA players who were not Michael Jordan, John Stockton or Karl Malone.

Her answers (which surprised me a bit):

Dennis Rodman
Charles Barkley
Scottie Pippen
Shaq
Kobe Bryant

My wife, admittedly she is on some painkiller because she took a nasty fall and broke a rib, which hurts like a ************, said this:

"Huh? I can't think right now. I don't know. I mean, there is Andrew Kirilenko, right? And the cute one, Corbett? Is he still playing? And the, uh, the other 2 you and your dad talk about all the time, I can't remember their names. Golbit?"

I am sure if I caught her a little more lucid I would get more names, but it is more fun when she is on her painkillers, tbh.

My wife’s replies:
1. Gobert
2. LeBron James
3. Mitchell
4. Curry
5. “Osama Bin Laden, I don’t know his name” (James Harden).

OBL has a hell of a triple step back, that is for sure.

 

[Rubashov]

Rudy she's slept with a Gobert t-shirt on

You sick, sick man....

 

[David Hume]

OBL has a hell of a triple step back, that is for sure.

Just imagine if OBL had played with the Twin Towers in Houston. They would have been explosive.

 

[prodigy]

The black guy with the blue eyes who scores all the points

Ah yes, Blue Edwards. Thats how he got the name.

 

[seattlejazzfan]

Ah yes, Blue Edwards. Thats how he got the name.

pretty sure it was from choking as a kid and turning blue in the process, but that would work too!
