The Onion once in a blue moon has funny stuff. But this wasn't funny.

I thought it was pretty funny. That was like 80% of what I talked about on the bball court in high school. I liked the other two bball articles they did, one on perk, another on that guy that came out of the closet.

lol. they are not making fun of KG, guys. sheesh, have a sense of humor.



my favorite part was the last line,


"Upon learning of his teammate's comments, Garnett said that if he got a large enough running start and jumped at the exact right moment, he could probably dunk a tennis ball"



also, the onion is hillarious.

A fav Onion story (that was true) was about death of Bill Nye in that tragic, factory-sized baking soda-vinegar explosion.

Garnett's was awesome, IMO.

I thought the article was about Garnett touching the rim without jumping and thought, "well, he is 7-1 so it's possible." When I realized the article was about the Ticket dunking the ball, something I've seen him do at least 200 times, I nearly fell out of my seat. :lol:
"I proved everyone wrong," Garnett added. "I shocked the world, just like last year when everyone said I couldn't get backboard." :rofl:
