Larry Hughes will not be shaving any time soon.

First of all, why the hell are we still talking about this? I feel a little dirty posting this, but I couldn't resist the opportunity for us all to make jokez and have some laffz. So, if you haven't heard, Larry Hughes feels slighted by Mike D'Antoni's insistence on keeping a short rotation, particularly the part about it not including him. Apparently, Larry equates the severity of this injustice with that of the Writers' Strike or the Protestant Reformation, and intends to protest in style.

Berman reports:

As a simmering Larry Hughes left the visitor's locker room late Sunday night in Minnesota sporting a new beard, he said his facial hair growth was related to his banishment from the rotation.

When will he shave it?

"When I get out of jail," Hughes cracked.

Jail jokes aside, if Hughes is living that sedentary lifestyle until season's end, I think I've got a solid idea of what he'll end up looking like:

Everybody's favorite expiring contract, circa May, 2010.

He’s trying to recapture the magic that Larry Johnson was able to find during the 1999 NBA Playoff Run

Doesn't he realize by now that no one wants him?

He get run out of Cleveland and had a website created about him, rode the bench in Chi and is now slowly expiring here too.

NO!

according to numerous outlets, larry hughes has so much value that david stern is personally requesting that any company that makes replica nba jerseys please invent one for larry-bones.

ayo!

the 2010-11 season called. that motherfucker said eddy curry’s beard tells us a lot about the hughesian aspect, or plight if you will, of not being good enough to get playing time on a shit team, but having struck oil on the basis of potential (squandered!*) in the previous contract year!!

jeff van gundy heard the message and frowned on you for not understanding what thw future holds. his headwrap was made out of larry hughes’ full speed running capacity.

MOLASSES!!!!!

Wow

This is a total embarassment to the Baron Davis’ and James Harden’s of this league.

Cant believe I was complimentary about Hughes for a few games early on this season…

but fuck all that nonsense

if larry larr just came out pause and said what we’re all thinking, i might have more respect for the nudnik.

larry should be getting minutes and duhon should be on the bench.

If Larry Larr

just referred to himself as ‘Larry Larr’ everything would be better.

Perhaps D'antoni should be more polite

Excuse me, Sir Lawrence Hughes, esquire, would you like a bit of PT? It seems these fellows are in dire need of your peculiar brand of basketball mojo!

Larry Hughes

C’mon coach. I don’t think the Knicks are playing so great now that you should continue to keep Larry on the bench. Please work him back into the rotation. There are (many) times when veteran leadership is needed. Of course, he’s probably rusty and has to be given sufficient opportunity to return to form. What is there to lose?

by dannyfree34 on Feb 3, 2010 12:16 PM EST reply actions  

Larry Hughes

I’ve read some of the unenlightened (to be kind) comments about Hughes. As I recall he was not taken out ouf the rotation for missing jump shots— check out the shooting % of Duhon and others—but because he was injured. The Knicks are far too thin to be thinking they’re going to be worse off if Larry plays. (And no, I have no axe to grind for Hughes but I’ll admit that I do have beard). D’antoni is likely thinking primarily of his own reputation and trying to salvage the season by getting a better record than last year. And if this does happen, attribute it to the growth of David Lee. And speaking of rotations, what does Bender add when he’s out there? Defense? Are you kidding? Does the team need an inconsistent 7 ft jump shooter playing outside, espcecially when the knicks lately have been assaulted on the offensive boads? BTW. what is the status of that other 7 ft enigma Milovic? Does anyone know (or care)?

by dannyfree34 on Feb 3, 2010 12:31 PM EST reply actions  

nobody cares enough to know.

for the record.

i’m not opposed to larry hughes getting some spin. i am completely opposed to duhon playing more than toney douglas.

and i’m all about clowning my boys.
