The Lone Valentine’s Day Reference We’ll Make: Nene’s Getting Married to a Volleyball Player
NBA February 12th. 2009, 9:00am
The NBA will have its second in-season marriage this weekend – Candace Parker and Sheldon Williams got hitched in December – when Nene ties the knot with Portuguese-speaking 6-foot-1 former volleyball player Lauren Prothe. (Odd twist: Her sister, Ashley, is dating another NBA player – Jason Smith of the 76ers.) Nene met her at a hospital on the night his manger had a baby.
Married on Valentine’s Day? Gary Payton and Chris Webber dogged Nene for it on NBA TV last month, mostly because when you make plans like that months in advance, you’re basically conceding that you’re not All-Star material. Of course, Nene’s putting together the best season of his injury-riddled career: 14 points and eight boards and he’s leading the league in FG shooting at 61 percent.
It’s all in the family for Nene, Smith (Denver Post)

Is Nene gonna have to choke a bitch?
Apparently that question has already been answered.

February 12th, 2009 at 9:14 AM
V-day will be a heart-shaped pizza and a bottle of wine.
Night before, Oceanaire…

The Coop family doesn’t celebrate V-day, she learned this many years ago.
Nene is having a good year, I always liked him, one of the few Nuggets that actually played defense (before Billups showed up).

Details?

G. Willikers, she can take a penis!

@SuperAndy: A couple years ago, my friend made his girlfriend get all dressed up and then drove two hours to the nearest White Castle for the candle lit dinner. She refused to get out of the car and demanded that they find somewhere else to eat. They ended up at some crappy Chinese place that was on par with White Castle.

Here’s a great Valentine’s Card for all the Lotharios.

That Friend = Douchebag

Maybe they will have the reception here
February 12th, 2009 at 9:26 AM
you see those two names and then ‘plow’ and you really don’t expect “FNL” to close things out.

Nicely done. I slept with a girl in college who had a tribal sun tattooed just above that region. I always thought it’d be funny if she’d shaved her pubic hair into a moon.
February 12th, 2009 at 9:31 AM
bsanders – couldn’t you just turn her around to see the moon?

@SuperAndy: While I agree with Sanders that it was a dick-move on his part, I find it to be one of the best pranks I’ve ever heard about.
Another story for the board. This isn’t really V-Day related, but whatever. Another friend, back in high school, asked a girl out. At the restaurant, they were sitting there eating and then another guy suddenly came in and sat down with them. My friend pretended not to notice, but the girl kinda freaked. She called the waiter over to ask him to remove the guy, but the waiter said, “Remove who?”
What had happened was, my friend and this other guy had gone to the restaurant ahead of time and bribed the staff (I went to high school with some rich kids) to pretend like they didn’t notice the other guy.
The guy never spoke, just sat there. The girl was kinda freaked but didn’t leave. When they left the restaurant, the guy got in the back seat of the car and then leaned forward into the front. The girl finally flipped since she no longer would be making a scene in a crowded restaurant.
My friend coldly turned to look at her and said “You know what you remind me of? A muppet.” Now, I have no idea what that means, but, needless to say, she got out and called someone else to pick her up.
I have douchebag friends.
February 12th, 2009 at 9:42 AM
A muppet, nice. I bet she killed herself
February 12th, 2009 at 10:30 AM
Why is Nene choking that chick?
