Andris Biedrins and Jimmy Chitwood, Lost Brothers

I never thought I’d mention the movie Hoosiers in the same sentence as Andris Biedrins, but there’s a first time for most things, like this ultra-conservative, financial district hairdo he’s sporting. The calculated arrangement of hair suddenly makes the Warriors forward a dead ringer for hoops hero Jimmy Chitwood, although even Chitwood’s look was a bit looser. Does that make two days in a row we’ve led off the morning with hair issues? Yes, yes it does. [via @RizAmlani]

Now Andris, don’t get caught watching the paint dry.

Can you just imagine how hard the guys in the huddle would laugh if Biedrins said “I’ll make it” when they were drawing up a play? That guy is an extraordinary bricklayer.

Great movie though, except for the Shooter parts and the Barbara Hershey parts.

You’re becoming a caricature of yourself.

This has never been said in Tim Ryan’s personal life.

Ever since a Bill Simmons reader pointed out what a shaky game coach Norman Dale was I can’t watch that movie the same way…I mean in the championship game the players had to tell him to call some plays for Jimmy Freaking Chitwood, Phil Jackson never had to be told to get the ball in MJ’s hands

Actually, I think the actor who played Jimmy is Lithuanian, but may I’m wrong. The resemblance is remarkable.
