John, Paul, George, Ring and Lil Wayne? Which one of those things does not belong in the same stratosphere? Get back, Lil Wayne!

Little Wayne is not a multi-level star. Relatively few people know who he is. Garth Brooks and Reba McEntire have been superstars for decades and known by folks who are not even country fans. Neither has a felony conviction. Only an idiot would believe that Lil Wayne deserves special treatment.

[...] for good measure, Mayberry provides this copious must-read collection of game-related nuggets, After reading this, I understand why he was one of two members of the media still in the press [...]

Reading the Nuggets at work in the morning is the best

Show me what you’re made of in game 5, Thunder.

I have no problem with Westbrook shooting when he’s hot. Neither does KD. When he’s cold, I don’t trust his decision making and I want the ball in Harden’s hands. That’s why Harden was making those passes and lil Russ was setting screens lol

BUT how quickly they forget that Russ CARRIED US into the WCF. This is just not his series. He’s not going against Ramon Sessions and Jason Kidd. He has to chase around Tony Parker. Biggest mismatch is KD vs. whoever is guarding him. Give that man the ball.

I don’t agree with the angle that Wayne doesn’t get special treatment because he’s a black celebrity as opposed to a white celebrity. It’s because he’s lil wayne and that doesnt mean sh*t to OKC execs LOL. That’s what I think DM was getting at.

He’s also a big MIA/LAL fan. He was even cheering against us in the semis. When he doesn’t get his way he says “Go Spurs”? Well, go watch the game from home lol No one cares.

Darnell…Either you are really young, or I’m getting old…. You’ve NEVER heard of Scott Wedman? Led the Kansas City Kings the the Western Conference Finals in the early 80′s when playoff games were still tape delayed after 10:30 p.m. on CBS. He was a player!

I think Garth Brooks is the wrong comparison. Of course he would have been able to get courtside seats and the Thunder would have given him the red carpet treatment. That’s because he’s Garth Brooks and this is Oklahoma. He has an immense history with the state that Weezy doesn’t have. Now, if Justin Bieber would have called…

I definitely noticed that weird stretch where Russell was…? I don’t know what he was doing. Didn’t know Brooks benched him after the Manu foul though.

What the heck took Brooks so long to put Thabo back in the game in the 4th? Is there a reason Thabo can’t play more than 25 minutes? There must be a reason.

Not surprised Serge was hitting that J. Those are his shots. They didn’t fall in game 2 but he’s shown he can be automatic from mid-range.

What shocked me was Russ going 1-4 from the line and Serge hitting every FT. No Hack-A-Serge for you Pop. However Hack-A-Tiago was in full-effect. Shot attempt, *WHACK*, misses both at the line, benched

I enjoyed the column until you had to throw in the “hey, if a white guy like Garth Brooks…”

No need for that stuff here.

Always enjoy reading your tweets and nuggets Darnell, keep up the good work.

That being said, all I could think when KD took over and scored the 16 straight was “nobody on the planet could stop KD right now.” Truly a special player that one day I can tell my kids and grand kids all about.
Also, I know a bunch of people call for Scott Brooks to be fired, but he is showing a lot of growth these playoffs. Still not great at times, but he’s growing just like the team and deserves credit.
