The Playoff Hustle: Still Ain't Your Daddy's Shaq
Rocket-less in '06

Somehow, during half-price Buds, Bud Lights and appetizers at Uno's--and during NBA Finals Game 4--I got into an argument with Duke and Train about whether or not Jerry Stackhouse was physically stronger than Dwayne Wade. The specifics of how this argument began is tedious so I won't bother--let's just say it involved gauging each team's mismatches. My understanding is that Stackhouse has been known in the latter half of his career to be a bruising, physical low post player and Wade... is not that. Stackhouse is also a grown-ass man at 32 while Wade is still relatively a kid. Everyone knows about grown-ass man strength--the kind that you can't actually see or explain, but it's there and it's puttin' your 25-year-old ass on the floor off a backscreen.

Nevertheless, the heated argument went on until we all just shook our heads, not able to fathom where the other could possibly be coming from. Then this happened...

And Duke, without pause, laughs and says, "you win."

It cannot have effect in actual fact, that is exactly what I think.
