Combining Two Leisurely Pursuits

by State School Elitist

I stumbled across this today and thought it warranted posting since it involves two things I have an undying obsession with: The NBA and Arrested Development. The writer compares and contrasts AD characters with some of the more atypical NBA personalities. Not positive I concur with the Kobe-Lucille Bluth comparison, but it will do. It will be interesting to see who is paralleled with Buster, and who will play the Lucille to his Buster, maybe Doug Christie with his wife? If you have never seen Arrested Development before, being compared to Buster Bluth is not exactly the highest of praise, particularly for a professional athlete in a league that measures posturing as much as it measures skill.

Who is Tobias? Mark Madsen? Because we all know he is gay but is struggling in coming to terms with it.

Lyndsay Bluth could be anyone, someone into vanity and physical appearance applies to 90% of the league.

George Michael is going to be the hardest to match. A self-conscious teenager shy around women who desperately wants to sleep with his cousin. AC Green is as close as it gets, but he is retired and I am sure Green has lost his virginity by now, and I can all but guarantee he has no intentions of bedding a relative. This guy might have to go to the incestual fail safe and pick someone from West Virginia.

The possibilities are endless.

About Grid Effect

Here at Grid Effect we discuss a morass of television series and recap a select few that are deemed worthy of such attention. We also provide a weekly links post that keeps you informed on all worthwhile topics in the television industry. In short, if you watch Desperate Housewives, American Idol, Grey's Anatomy or Two and A Half Men... this isn't the site for you (451 Press provides other such pages you can link to at the bottom). With a couple exceptions, we try to focus our efforts on the more cerebral qualities of your idiot box.
