Balkmon in Effect


Some MC's wanted to buy me, so they try to take stands
But they don't understand, I'm the motherfuckin man
I amaze and astound, rhythm up and down
Smack a group of them around, let them know who wears the crown

After losing defensive-minded players Marcus Camby and Eddie Najera, the Nuggets look to re-tool by bringing in Renaldo Balkmon in a minor trade with the Knicks. Balkmon, a distant cousin of Mars Blackmon, will be expected to provide 'D' and energy off the bench. 'D' and energy, couple them together and it sounds like some bad Red Bull like drink in a flourescent orange can.

Balkmon, who sports a mean set of dreads, will complement Chris Anderson's Bjorn Borg look and make Denver's #2 defensive set look like the dudes you bought weed from back in college. Basically, he is Najera without the price tag, a bit younger, and a bit more athletic.

A nice move by the team in bringing in Balkmon, not to be confused with former Mavs star and tight shorts afficionado Ronaldo Blackmon. Considering that all they gave up was Taurean Green (another energy drink sounding name) and a few worthless picks, the Nugs have upgraded and saved money.

A good pick-up, he's aways annoyed Carmelo.

I'm just hoping that when both of Nene's knees explode in the 2nd game of the year, that the shrapnel doesn't hit Balkmon and sever those dreads.

best dreds since Brian Grant.

my weed guy in college was some preppy white frat guy. he was a real ahole until he caught a massive beatdown from like a 55 year old ex-hippie burnout for screwing him on a bag or sumthing. Old dude beat his ass then tipped an entire dumpster on him for good measure

Spot^ - I agree, I like this pick up. If Balkmon blossoms this year, I keep seeing him and Artest in some epic battles (albeit only for a few mintues)

Natty^ - The weed guy my frosh year was this 18 year old bald dude. He had it sent to him en masse from all his pothead friends at East Coast schools
