Stop the presses ... The results of the Official NBA Survey of Height, Weight, Age and Experience are in. Compared to a year ago, the league is heavier, taller and younger than it was a year ago, with the average player measuring up at 6-7, 224 pounds, 27 years-old and just under five years of experience. Fly was happy to see the Supes made the list as the league’s tallest team with an average height of 6-8. Seattle is also the league’s second beefiest team with an average weight of more than 232 pounds. GM Rick Sund’s genius shines through once again -- signing big fella, 7-1 285 pound Jerome James instantly made Seattle a contender.

Not so foxy ... Another set of awards were announced last week, but these have Fly pulling his antennae out. Two of the world’s most annoying celebrities combined to put Fly on his back. Joan Rivers and Rick Fox warped into a steel tipped cotton swap and jammed itself right into Fly’s ear. How, you ask? Joan and Melissa Rivers’ Golden Hanger Awards listed Fox as the “Most Stylish Athlete of the Year.” Who did they survey for that award? His hairdresser?

Turn back the clock ... Determined to show Fox a thing or two about style, Sonics legends Dean Tolson and Slick Watts broke out the leather last week. Tolson showed up at the Sonics-Spurs game in a black leather cowboy hat and trench coat. Rumors are swirling Tolson has his eye on a spot in a video commemorating the Kool Moe Dee “Wild, Wild West” video. A few days later at the Sonics Fannie Mae workday, Slick showed up in a similar trench coat. Fly sniffs a trend among the Supes legends. Take that, Rick and Joan.

GP and Jerome James.

Excuses, excuses ... The Sonics put on their grubbies last week and picked up paint brushes to help out low income families in the Rainier Valley. There was plenty of trash talking and paint to go around. Avoiding getting glued to the wall or hit by flying paint, Fly didn’t pick up much dirt, but did get wind of this.
