T-Mobile Player of the Week: Toney Douglas Birthday Edition!

This post is sponsored by T-Mobile.

I knew there was a reason I left the Player of the Week until today. Gian just informed that today is the 24th birthday of none other than P&T saint, Toney Douglas. Toney turns a year older fresh off a pair of splendid performances in road wins over Dallas and Philadelphia. Toney Douglas did what Toney Douglas do this past week, but if you think that's something, you haven't seen his birthday itinerary:

Things Toney Douglas Do On His 24th Birthday:

- Wake up. Take a quick jog around neighborhood to get the blood flowing. Put a 20-dollar bill in every mailbox encountered along the way.

- Brush teeth. Floss twice, for good measure.

- Drink three glasses of milk with breakfast: one regular, one chocolate, one yak's.

- Visit local elementary school. Read "Goodnight Moon" to bilingual second-grade class in English and Spanish. Sign language, too, for good measure.

- On the way back from the school, spot a scoundrelly individual mugging a helpless old lady. Chase down said scoundrel, impede his path in a defensive stance, and strip him clean of the lady's purse. Return the purse to its rightful owner while the scoundrel tries unsuccessfully to wrestle it back. And one.

- Guard crosswalk for neighborhood children on the way home from school. Spot rogue motorist with intent to disobey traffic laws. Step in front of car in a defensive stance. Draw charge.

- Call up birthday-mates Flavor Flav and Erik Estrada to wish them a good one. Receive similar call from James Madison. Yes, that James Madison. Toney Douglas don't ask questions.

- Attend local court hearing and defend innocent citizen against wrongful charges. Bring audience to tears with rousing oration championing citizen's innocence, all while in a defensive stance.

- Birthday Sex. Damn straight.

- Buy self a pair of Heelys, as well as 500 other pairs for local children. Distribute Heelys to children. Cruise about town flanked by a parade of 500 children on wheels. All in a defensive stance, of course.

- Encounter three-legged dog. Amputate own leg and donate to dog. Regrow own leg.

- Call Al Harrington. Urge him to do what Toney Douglas do. No luck. Maybe next year.

- Go to nursing home to participate in game of Scrabble with a loving gaggle of elderly women. Play the word "DWTDD" on a triple word score for a total of 33 points. Yes, it counts. Let the old ladies win.

- Pizza party with Wilson Chandler, Danilo Gallinari, David Lee and Bill Walker. Feign embarrassment while they all sing "Happy Birthday". Well, not Wilson.

- Bed at 9 p.m. Sleep soundly in a defensive stance.

Happy Birthday to our player of the week, Toney Douglas. Remember that Toney's birthday is really a birthday of the people, and mainly the children. Do what Toney Douglas do today.

Excellent

But didn’t Toney also rehabilitate the purse-snatching scoundrel?

He took one hell of a charge.

Toney does what the douglas do. And no one can do what he does b/c doing it without being Toney Douglas just doesnt make it do what it do

chewy milk

maybe

but I’m DWTDD, so it was worth it.

We talkin' bout Toney Douglas or Chuck Norris

that would be an interesting battle….

No contest

By the fourth quarter Norris would be exhausted and Toney would just be heating up.

i am EXTREMELY offended by this post

there is no way that a man’s man like DWTDD goes to sleep at 9 p.m. no way!

by latrell chokewell on Mar 16, 2010 5:04 PM EDT reply actions  

don't care

i’m not even sure that DWTDD needs sleep to function, let alone starts sleeping at 9 p.m.

if believing that DWTDD can carouse at all hours of the day (in a defensive stance!) is wrong, then i don’t wanna be right.

by latrell chokewell on Mar 16, 2010 5:12 PM EDT up reply actions  

Truth

Seth just thinks that DWTDD is asleep. He’s actually fighting crime.

seriously, have you ever been to a shitty pizza party?

no because they rule like a czar.

by pmsjerk on Mar 16, 2010 7:57 PM EDT reply actions  

i can picture wilson

just staring dead eye at toney while everyone around them sings; it is terrifying.
As for TD’s 9 pm deadline, one must assume that it is during a win streak. The dude wants to dream about the illusive 8th seed until it can only be a dream. DWTDD.

one thing i dont like about him

hes 24 as a rookie..tht means he has to step it up and be our guy now.

by schmosterballs92 on Mar 17, 2010 3:45 AM EDT up reply actions  

he finished school didnt he?

I like that he did that. He is as mature as any knick in uniform, and it shows.

Toney does what the douglas do. And no one can do what he does b/c doing it without being Toney Douglas just doesnt make it do what it do

by semsemma on Mar 17, 2010 9:02 AM EDT up reply actions  

It's not the years

It’s the miles. Why else would McGrady be washed up before 30?

I'm completely SICK!

Why did D’Antoni throw away a whole season experimenting and alienating good players while torturing us with du Duhon for all those games. He’s not the worst coach, but he’s Terrible! Now at the end of his rope does he decide to give TD any serious commitment. D’Antoni blew maybe 16 games with his wishy washy non-defense coaching style. His lack of coaching ability is going to probably surface after we get the free agents we keep hearing and talking about. And because everybody is giving him a pass for last and this season and just putting the blame on the players, we’ll have to put up with his non-coaching sorry @#$% for who knows how long. I’m at the end of my rope. I hate to say this..but I want Phil Jackson. He’d attract more talent to the Knicks than Dumtoni, and is a proven winner and a Knick to boot. Maybe he’ll want to retire after winning a few more with the Ole club from his youth. At least in a perfect world. REMEMBER MY WORDS you bunch of Sheep!!
