Lou Amundson is No Walter Herrmann...

Whats up everybody this one is for all you NBA fans... not the people who care about who wins the championship or who wins MVP, but for the ones who realize that with the constant trading of players from state to state the game is more about the characters in the association rather than the final result.

That Guys Award Show
Up for debate today, my award for most mysterious players in the league. The Candidates.. Chris Birdman Andersen, Lou Amundson, and Walter Hermann.

Walter Herrmann
A large hands down winner if you know anything about my tastes, but this award goes to Walter Herrmann.

This Argentinian stands a intimidating 6-9, weighing in a 225 pounds. With his gargantuan hands and flowing locks of golden hair Herrmann roams the Detroit Pistons Bench averaging about 10 minutes per game, but also averaging one spectacular mystifying play per sighting on national television. As goofy as he may seem, this dudes got skills. Earning the nickname Dr. Herrmann for signaling his inner Dr. J on a layup earlier this season, Walter has won me over very quickly, along with his ability to own in NBA 2K9. If you ask me the reason the Pistons are in the 8th seed of the playoffs is because they haven't realized the magic they are incarcerating on the bench.

Walter's Trick Shot -

Walters hands are so large they could cover your face like a hooded Jacquette.

Please enjoy this layup and realize that this Americanized sportscaster is mispronouncing his last name..

Chris Birdman Andersen
A solid second place will go to my man Birdman Andersen: Suspended from the league the last 2 years for hard drug use, the birdman is back and so are his many tattoos letting untalented 1st round pick Robert Swift know everyday that there can only be One Birdman...

There can only be one

Andersen plays for the Denver Nuggets and for a team that scores in the hundreds, Anderson does not score much at all. Whether he has revolutionized his out look on life or is just taking lower doses of drugs(Hopefully not..) I commend the bird man for being the ultimate team player. And in doing so accomplishing such feats as ridiculous 8 block games on multiple nights and being the key to why the Nuggets are the 2 seed in the West.

Lighting Lou Thor Amundson
But then there is Lou Amundson...

This may or may not be a girl looking like Lou Amundson.. but it is Lou Amundson..

Also averaging minimum minutes (about 14 per game) for the Pheonix Suns. Same height as Herrmann, 13 lbs heavier with A shorter more goofy pony tail. A class act is Lightning Lou.. However he does not command the same respect or mystique that Hermann commands over myself. With some nice blocks from now and then through the season, Lou may resemble the aforementioned Dr. Herrmann. But I will tell you know that he is a fraud. I can't give Lou the award because I feel he seeks his attention where as the cameras just happen to find Walter at the right moments. Among my biases are the fact that
1) Lou thinks his nick name should be Thor, the god who throws lighting bolts,
2) At times I will mistake Lou for my cousin Jonathan if he played basketball,
3) and sometimes for a blonde Ashton Kutcher.. only problem is that there is already an Ashton Kutcher in the Association.. named Kyle Kover.

Not Ashton Kutcher..

Thanks to my brother :The Salo, I have been provided with a link to this Lighting Lou.. and his attempts for attention in Pheonix and his affinity for bicycling..
