Rhyming with Rasheed
Mark Pedersen
Issue date: 10/19/09 Section: Sports
I have a mind-blowing announcement that I want you to hear.
Rasheed Wallace is a Celtic and that's something to fear,
He can dribble the court and definitely shoot the three,
He will talk a lot of trash and probably get a fat fee.
The crazy part is that his teammates are raw;
They split defenses in half, much like a saw.
They won it all - I'm talking back in the day.
Actually it was 2008, that means they can still play.
There is a man named Kevin who plays really mean,
He yells quite a lot and really is lean,
His arms could stretch across the state of Maine;
That could be why he can reach across the lane.
One dude is Paul and he can't jump at all,
But for some reason he's good, he's not even tall.
He looks like a dork and has been in Boston for years,
Lost a lot of games and shed a lot of tears.
My favorite of the bunch is this dude named Ray.
After the pros, he will probably star in a play;
Remember that movie he made with Denzel.
He played Jesus Shuttlesworth, that name is quite swell.
There are a couple more guys who play on that team;
Big Baby, Rondo and there might be Hakeem?
They don't get the lights, or the glitz, or the glamour,
Wait, I think one of them might be from Alabama.
Sheed will fit well because he definitely wants to win,
Not quite as good and not quite as thin,
But he plays with his heart and won't ever quit.
Just to come to Boston, his salary took a hit.
Their coach is this dude who used to play ball,
He wanted Sheed, so obviously he made the call,
His name is Doc with the last name of Rivers.
The thought of this team just gives me the shivers.
On paper this works, but maybe it won't.
Some players can't mesh - simply, they don't.
His ankle is hurt at this moment in time,
Meaning Rondo is not throwing him a dime.
What if he doesn't play like he can?
Will he be a good teammate and cheer like a fan?
He likes to play games and jokes on his team,
Maybe it will split this squad like a seam.
One thing I know is that the Cavs are good, too.
Who will guard Lebron? Seriously, who?
A lot of teams in the East really aren't too bad,
A loss might make the fans all pouty and mad.
If they play how they should, they might win it all,
Be kings of the court of this game called basketball.
There is one team I would rather see win,
And it's not the team with that dude Johnny Flynn.
If all goes well, the winners will be Rip City;
If my Blazers don't win, it will be such a pity.
So let's give props to our main man Rasheed,
This will be quite a show, it will be indeed.
