SAN ANTONIO SPURS
NUMBER OF PLAYERS IN RAP SONGS: 4
The Spurs are the league's exemplary modern franchise, but they're an old bunch playing in a small city who ball with little flair. That said, pound-for-pound they can stack up their rap name-drops with anyone on this list. There's Tim Duncan, who was rhymed with "Joe Buddens" by Lil Wayne on Da Drought 3, then there's Tony Parker, who was rhymed with "Bob Barker" in a very rare and based line from Lil B. Topping them all, though, is Argentinian Manu Ginobili, whose marquee facial feature gets used beautifully by Roc Marciano: "The four-four chrome is long-nose / Call it Ginobili."

Manu Ginobili: "The four-four chrome is long-nose / Call it Ginobili, your real nigga show me" — Roc Marciano ("The Man")
Tim Duncan: "Any Tim Duncan, spur of the moment / Let the whole world know I run shit, jump ship quick" — Asher Roth ("Lark on My Go-Kart")
Stephen Jackson: "Stay strapped-up we G’s in action / Knock out orders like Stephen Jackson" — E.S.G. ("Fuck With Me")
Tony Parker: "Light-skinned? Nah, a little dark on TV like Bob Barker / Love is lost sometimes, nigga, ask Tony Parker" — Lil B ("Reggie Miller")

I had 3 beers at lunch today.
I do not care much for my current job right now. But, I am thankful for so much else wonderful in my life.
Happy Thanksgiving, friends.

I am man.
So, I attempted to install a light fixture this weekend. I had my doubts. I am not "handy." When I turned the power back on, walked back to the light switch flipped it on, and the light actually came on- well, I can hardly explain the overwhelming sense of raw masculinity and satisfaction I felt. To a lesser degree, I get this same feeling from changing a light bulb.
My intention is not to brag. (Well, maybe a little.) But also, just to ask the group if you share this sentiment and what tasks (greater or smaller) have you accomplished that left you feeling like Al Borlin on HGH.
