There was an excellent time-wasting meme/hashtag on Twitter yesterday called #NBABands, in which you combine basketball players/teams with rocknroll to create “bands”. There were some good ones that had me laughing til bedtime: Right Said Faried, Durant Durant, My Alonzo Mourning Jacket, Thabeet Happening, Gasol Asylum and more.

My more esoteric choices didn’t seem to register with anyone, probably because while everyone knew the players I was referencing, no one knew the bands: Robin Lopez & The Egyptians; Boy Dirt Carmelo; Tallulah Bosh and Biff Bang Pau.
