An Ode to Brian Skinner

An Ode to Brian Skinner

I see Kim, I see Mardy, I see DeAndre, I see Steve,
But there is someone missing, a true pimp to bereave.
At the end of the bench there is no swagger,
At the end of the bench there is no one rolling the zig-zaggers.
We've traded our souls in the pursuit of a winner,
We've traded our hearts, our dreams, our Brian Skinner.

Oh BSkinnz, what will we do with you gone?
Who will represent with the freshest face lawn?
Who will eat all the haters and devour all the ho's?
Who will teach Blunt Griffin how to box out like a pro?
You were dipped, we were ripped, everything seemed so right,
But all that's changed and I feel we've entered the eternal night.

Oh Brian, your bleached beard should be hung in the rafters,
Your career, a testament to the wits of Clipper drafters.
Every time I use Clorox I will remember your gangster lean,
The way you slayed bitches, the black Steve McQueen.
Now you are free, like a bald, two-tone bearded eagle just unclipped,
And until you eat us all, we will forever stay dipped.

No, but the false rumor was worth it just to read this masterpiece!

BRAVO!!!

Pass me the Clorox…

Skinnz should be trade-rumored everyday!

LMAO @ "the freshest face lawn"

Oh man, thanks for that! That was absolutely CLASSIC!

Brilliant

As soon as I heard BSkinnz was traded, I expected a big time post from Kaman Homie. You handled your business.

Oh that was nasty!

Clipper fans are down as hell

Would live forever in my heart.

That's brilliant!

I love his beard. It looks like stuck the end of it in a toaster, probably before trying to eat it. He totally pulls it off though.

There should be some kind of Skinner tribute group at Clipper games. Buy some fake beards and bleach the end of them. Do they sell Skinner jerseys?

Hahaha, I like that toaster scenario...

They don’t sell Skinner jerseys, or they do but they are always sold out, or Brian assumed they were for him and ate them all.

Yay yay.

Thanks, homies :)

I appreciate the compliments and I’m very happy to hear Brian is here to stay. I have a feeling the Clip’s brass told him they were gonna trade him and he slapped Dunleavy and told him to get him a motherfucking sandwich and some bleach he wasn’t going to the cold-ass east coast. Brian Skinner is L.A.

Yay yay.

Haha

he does run this town, not Jay Z, Rihanna or Kanye.

LOL.. You are too much, man. Classic!

Classic

Worth putting him in the trade rumors just to inspire this brilliant effusion.

Some really nice work here. “the freshest face lawn” rhyming with “what will we do with you gone.” “zigzaggers” and “swaggers.” I like Blunt Griffin a lot, that could even be the elusive nickname we’ve been looking for.

It starts a little slowly, and the last couplet could be stronger. I think I wanted it to end on “clipped,” rather than “dipped.” “Now you are free, like a bald, two-toned eagle” is an awesome start, however.

Awesome effort. Fantastic.

Now we need BSkinnz in the starting lineup. Although he’s going to have to eat Drew Gooden first. And isn’t Drew Gooden famous for, well, all of the stuff that you extol BSkinnz for? Quite the tandem, perhaps. BSkinnz and DGood leading the way into the club, with DJordan and BluntG right behind them. Eating everybody in sight.

Thanks Professor Zhiv, I've always admired your work on this site as well :)

I completely agree with your analysis of the poem. It was an emotional time for me, so I think that explains the ups and downs…
A BSkinnz-DGood starting frontcourt would be the sweetest thing ever. Drew is looking a little too ordinary these days, and I can only hope that after a few days with Brian up in the cafeteria he is reminded of what’s important in life.
A BSkinnz-DGood-DJordan-BluntG crew would absolutely eat the dance-floor and the V.I.P. section. I can’t believe this team also has Chunky Craig and Christopher Kaman. The Clips homie-factor is off the charts.

Yay yay.

When we got Drew Gooden

The first thing was that he’d have his goatee grown out just like Skinner. But I was disappointing when he was on PT shaved….

Maybe he will grow it out and even that one on the back of his head too, like in his Cleveland days. I wonder if Skinner would grow one out back there too…and bleach it.
