Fifty Nine in a row...

Defensive Player



















"And with the first pick in the 2009 NBA Draft the Clippers select...UNKNOWN PLAYER!?!"

"That's right. Apparently this guy just showed up at draft camp a week ago and they really, really, really, really, REALLY, liked his defense. They wanted to go after Griffin but they were really, super, a lot impressed with this guy. Mostly impressed with the fact no one could score on him. EVER. One guy almost did score on him but it was later ruled that the goal tend was actually a legal block."

"Hmm. I can't remember the last time a number one pick has gone to a defensive player and a complete unknown at that! I'm not convinced. Clearly the Clipper's management is as stupid as we have always believed."

"They also liked the fact that he never talks and also never makes weird faces after every amazing defensive play he makes. He also doesn't pound his chest or grab his jersey, slap the ground, punch the other players, cry...and so forth. He just stares ahead actually. Apparently this is very intimidating. Oh he also has no pupils which is kind of scary."

"Strange indeed. Does he have a real name?"

"No. It's just Unknown Player. He doesn't talk, EVER, so ummm...yeah, that's his given name."

"Well we'll see how he stacks up in the NBA."

8 MONTHS LATER

Unknown Player has really dominated this league like no one ever thought a defensive player ever could! He's like a super star of defense! He's like a guy who scores 40 a game except it's like the reverse of that! Here are some testimonials!

"I once had an open lane to the hoop and was flying in for a serious thunder dunk and suddenly the ball was in the upper deck it was honestly kind of disappointing. I didn't have to guess who had swatted my shot because this was actually the 12th time it had happened to me in that game. I was sad."

-Brandon Roy

"He's cheating. That's all there is to it. No one should play THAT much defense. It's illegal. He's ruining the game with his defense."

-Lebron James

"I heard he was at a children's basketball camp and they had to tell him to leave because he wouldn't let any of the kids score. Which I respect. I respect that kind of dedication."

-Ron Artest

"Don't snitch!"

-Carmello Anthony

"I think if everyone on the team was a potential scorer you might have a chance to beat him. There is no way anyone could take him one on one. It's impossible. YOU JUST CAN'T DO IT OKAY!?! Maybe if you had a team of Wilt, Me, Jordan, Oscar Robertson, and Dr. J you could win. Hmmm. Nevermind, scratch that, even THAT wouldn't work. I agree with Lebron. The dude's cheating."

-Kobe Bryant
