NBA Playoffs: Gone Fishin 2008

Every night after the playoffs go off on TNT, I have to stay up and watch Ernie, Charles, and Kenny act a fool on Inside the NBA. Trust me, if you live on the East Coast, the hour spent watching these fools til 2 AM is worth the grogginess in the morning.

Around 2005, after a team got eliminated from the playoffs, Kenny would say that that team had “gone fishin” for the summer. They used to throw away the media guide, but then someone on their staff would doctor these hilarious photos of people fishin and superimpose the different players on their faces.

So we’re down to the final 4: the Lakers, Spurs, Pistons, and Celts. The other 26 teams have all gone fishin until next season.  Here are a few fishin photos.  The rest are here.

AI, Melo, Kenny, and Coach George Karl

Deshawn Stevenson, Agent Zero, Kenny, Soulja Boy, and GW

Snaq, Charles (in the water), Mike D’Antoni (now fishin in NY), Boris Diaw, Kenny, Steve Nash, and Amare

Joe Johnson, TI, Kenny, Josh Smith (peep his tee), and Al Horford

I’m sure Bron and CP3 are soon to follow.
