A’ma’r'e Stoudemire and the State of Wyoming

By On February 17, 2010 · 11 Comments · In Cleveland Cavaliers, NBA

Some Wyoming trivia/realizations based on this screengrab from an ESPN.com poll:

Amare Stoudemire Cavs

1) They don’t care much about the NBA.

2) If you’d asked me before looking at this where Wyoming was, I don’t think I could’ve pointed it out without using process of elimination.

3) I can’t name one city in Wyoming.

4) I’ve not known anyone who has lived in, visited, driven through, knew about, or thought about Wyoming.

5) Looking at this map – and I don’t know if I’m just outside my own head right now or what – it just doesn’t feel like Wyoming is a real state.

This isn’t meant as an assault on this fictional place or the two people who pretend to live there – these are real thoughts I had while waiting for this Stoudemire-to-Cavs trade to happen.

    The map confuses me – where is Wyoming?

    I'm not sure if this is the place to comment on WSM? but I was finally able to watch the first four chapters while in the waiting room at the optomotrist on Friday. Here are my thoughts:

    1. Riggs might be my favorite movie character of all time. Genius
    2. I didn't imagine your voice sounding like that.
    3. When you and Becky were sitting in the car and the cop came up shouldn't she have just shown her badge to get the officer out of there?
    4. IMDB.com is recommending 'Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom' if I like your movie. I find that interesting.

    1. Thanks I can't take much cred as that is all in Dom and what he did.
    2. Oh no!
    3. Keep watching.
    4. I think Temple of Doom is really under-rated. I don't understand why people don't like it.

    I've been through Wyoming. Even slept there for one night. It's pretty.
