Kwame Brown Sucks

Chronicling Kwame Brown’s Crappy Career

NBA’s Least Valuable Player

Millions of words have been typed, and oodles of bandwidth have been devoted to the NBA MVP debate. We’ll leave that argument to the experts.

Instead, Page 2 identifies the candidates for the Least Valuable Player:
Kwame Brown, L.A. Lakers-Memphis
Statistical analysis: Think the Lakers were happy to dump this guy on Memphis? The former No. 1 overall pick is averaging 18.9 minutes per game and shooting 41 percent on free throws. Brown did score a season-high 11 points on April 2 — wait, that was against the Knicks. Since then he has a streak of three consecutive DNP-CDs, including last Friday’s blowout loss to the Warriors, in which he was the only Grizzly not to play. The one thing that undermines Brown’s LVP chances is his contract, which expires at the end of this season.

You never know

Random Kwame mention in Bill Simmon’s article:

So, I’m going with UCLA over Tennessee in the title game. If you have that as your final as well, set your pool on fire right now because that’s the most fun you’ll have with it. I’m never right about anything. Then again, even Kwame Brown grabs a rebound every once in a while. You never know.

Basically Nothing

NBA First Half Winners and Losers:

Winners:

Lakers
: Landed Pau Gasol for Kwame Brown and Javaris Crittenton, also known together as “basically nothing.”

Gilbert Arenas on the Kwame trade:

The Lakers stole Pau Gasol. They hi-jacked him. That should be a crime. You don’t give away Pau Gasol for Kwame Brown and a rookie. I don’t care what’s out there, you can get more than that. You gave away a $100 bill and you got back two nickels and a dime.

It seems like a pretty stupid move by Chris Wallace. No offense, I don’t know him personally, but you don’t give away Pau Gasol for what they got back. I mean, Chicago wanted Pau Gasol. They would have given something back in return. I mean, something. Ladies and gentlemen, they have Darko and Kwame at the four and the five. That’s all I’m going to say.

Memphis GM on why he traded for Kwame

That might be news to Memphis General Manager Chris Wallace, who explained his reasoning for making the Pau Gasol deal by stating, “Brown was the largest expiring contact we could find.”

Good News / Bad News

Oh Kwame

Hey Kwame Brown, good news and bad news.The good news is that you’re no longer going to be booed by the home fans in LA!  Cool.

The bad news is that you’re going to be booed by your new home fans in Memphis.

The good news is that the Grizzlies don’t have a lot of fans, so there’s not that many people left to boo you!

The bad news is that you might be put back into a starting lineup, a new and wonderful opportunity for more failure.

Stephen A Preaches to the Choir

Now I don’t normally agree with Stephen A. Smith but we agree in our opinions of Kwame Brown. Here’s his analysis of the Lakers/Grizz Kwame Trade:

J.A. Adande on Kwame Brown

 Back to the future: Lakers might again be NBA’s brightest light

(Now, amazingly, both the Lakers and Washington Wizards can say they were better off for having Brown. Not better off with him, but Washington traded Brown for Caron Butler, and now the Lakers have Gasol. Brown netted All-Stars for two franchises. That’s a pretty good accomplishment for a No. 1 draft pick bust.)

Kwame traded - again

So it appears I picked a bad weekend to be out of town. Posts later relating to the trade. Congrats Lakers - you pulled a Wizards move - traded worthless Kwame and got quality in return.

Think we’ll have quotes from Kwame similar to when he left DC? Along the lines of “I’m happy - I have a better house, a better team” referring to LA? Yeah Kwame…enjoy Memphis. Say hello to Juan Carlos Navarro.

(Keep those emails coming….seriously, I picked a bad weekend to go travelling)

Nickel Finish

From reader Scott via email:

(kwamebrownsucks@gmail.com - I’m checking it now - I promise)

Everyone Hates Kwame

Lakers announcer Stu Lantz recently quipped, “Kwame is the master of the million dollar move and the nickel finish”.  That was never more evident then last night (1/17/08) against the Phoenix Suns when Kwame missed at least four shots from point blank range.  When your own home announcer disses you, you know you suck.

Thanks Scott.

My Favorite Facebook Group

Everyone should join:

Name:    God Bless Kwame Brown and His Startling Inability to Catch a Leather Sphere
Type:     Common Interest - Beliefs & Causes
Description:
Everybody has moments of ineptitude. Few, however, have them as often, or with as much flair, as Kwame Brown, the erstwhile starting center for my beloved Los Angeles Lakers.

But you do not need to be a Lakers fan, or even a basketball fan for that matter, to appreciate what Kwame Brown, with his stunning lack of fine motor skills, is capable of conjuring on any given night.

Whether it’s inexplicably dropping a bounce pass even a four-year old could secure with ease, or finding new and creative ways to miss what appears to the untrained eye to be an easy layup, Kwame Brown’s unique talent for bungling even the most routine basketball plays can be appreciated by almost everyone.

After all, this is a man who has missed not just the rim, but the entire backboard, from two feet away. This is a man who has shot consecutive airballs from the free-throw line and attempted to catch entry passes with his face. This is a man for whom the highest percentage shot in the sport, the dunk, is anything but a sure thing.

If you find yourself anxiously waiting for the next time Kwame walks onto the court, this is your group.
