Dancing with The Dubs? Why T-Will deserves a shot.
Okay, I know The Warriors desperately need a point guard - Brandon Jennings, Darren Collison, Patty Mills even. But I want to give you four good reasons why The Dubs should pick T-Will aka Terrence Williams:
1. Check out his dance moves (above). We get a twofer - mascot and player. After losing Thunder, we need someone who can hype the crowd at halftime. Biedrins sure ain’t gonna Two Step at mid court.
2. He will use all 140 characters when he Twitters (see the article in today’s SF Chronicle). Let’s just say that most athletes’ tweets don’t really maximize all the platform has to offer. Sometimes on Twitter less is more (like with Shaq), but for most of these dudes, less is just less.
3. According to the same article in The Chron, T-Will makes the case that he “can play point forward, center, Gatorade protector, anything.” Now, I think this can be huge for The Warriors. It’s been a while since they had a true Gatorade protector. With all of the injuries The Warriors had last year, I kept asking myself “who’s protecting the damn Gatorade?”
4. He will revive the art of the “Rock The Baby” Dunk. I’m not sure if I’ve seen that dunk used in a game in the last 20 years, so it’s time it makes a resurgence. If Brandon Jennings was still rockin’ the Hi-Top Fade, then I’d have to give him the nod for kicking it Old School, but since he got rid of it, it’s all about T-Will’s dunks.
