Just a quick little blog about the greatest comeback in the history of sports!
I got an e-mail from cowboybone the other day, which contained this link:
THAT’S RIGHT, BABY! Yuta Tabuse is back in the NBA! After the moronic Denver Nuggets cut Yuta before last year’s NBA season, he’s back on an NBA roster, trying to become the first japanese-born player to play in the NBA! The Phoenix Suns are officially the smartest team in the
NBAworld!
Yuta wears #1 for the Suns. Why #1? NEED YOU ASK!?!
After this historic signing, the Suns have gotta be odds-on favorites to win the NBA Championship! Don’t believe me? Well, here’s proof:
Number of seasons Yuta played in the ABA: 1
Number of championships Yuta won in the ABA: 1
THAT’S A 100% SUCCESS RATE, PEOPLE!
Still not convinced? Well, let’s take a look at the current NBA Pre-Season standings, shall we? Last year, the Suns finished in sixth place out of seven teams, winning only 29 games while losing 53. After adding Yuta to their roster, how are they doing so far this year?
FIRST PLACE! HOW MUCH MORE PROOF DO YOU NEED!?! WAKE UP AND SMELL THE SUCCESS!
Man, I wish I knew about Yuta’s signing earlier, so I could put some money down on the Suns to win the NBA Championship. I gotta figure that once the Vegas oddsmakers found out about Yuta joining the Suns, they changed the Suns’ odds to like 1/5 or something like that. Oh well, when there’s a sure thing, it doesn’t really matter what the odds are… I’ll make money anyway! So, I checked up on the current odds and…
50 TO 1!?! What are they thinking!?! Hurry everyone! Sell your house! Sell your car! Sell your kids! Put every penny you have on the Suns to win the championship! You won’t regret it! Sure, you might have to live in a box and hitch-hike to work until the Suns win the championship in June, but just think how much money you’ll have!
Geez, why are the Suns’ odds so high? The only thing I can think of is that maybe the oddsmakers think the Suns are gonna be as stupid as the Nuggets were last year and cut Yuta. I’m sure if that happened, you could just ask your bookie for all your money back. Bookies are real nice folks… I’m sure that’d be no problem.
And if untold riches wasn’t good enough, this news also means the triumphant return of…
The Yuta Line!

Woo, Suns!
Yay Yuta! He is one sexy bitch in that article. I think I have a new crush
yuta needs some help from ”fab 5″. why you may ask? just look at his hair and beard? it’s not color coordinated. come on now. you gotta be styling on the court. we got enough players showing off them “bling blings”.
He’s gonna have to get used to staring at all the other player’s stomachs cuz that’s where he’ll come up to. But I support Asians in sports other than Badminton.
wow, that was one pretty balanced game he played! he’d kill you in the fg% cat though.
I think this just confirms my belief that eventually the Asians would take over sports dominance from the black guys. First Yow, and now Yuta. Pretty soon all the basketball players, baseball player, golfers, hell even football players will be Asian. I mean, let’s face it, after watching Japan win the women’s marathon we know that Asians can out run black people too. Where will the takeover stop? Will it ever stop?
i can’t help but notice the “coincidence” between the team he’s playing for, and the country he’s from.
Startling but true…
Lizka - That’s right! Can I buy playoff tickets now?
KittyKat7 - He’s available! Um… not that I’ve researched this kind of thing.
petitekiu - Just you wait… after Yuta dominates the NBA, EVERYONE will have brown hair with black beards!
Golfer_Hater - Why not badminton too!?! Equal opportunity rooting!
cowboybone - Hey, he got a block, too! He’s like 4 feet tall! That should make up for his lack of shooting.
dieselboy_1206 - Let’s just say that Bush and Kerry better be glad that an asian isn’t running for president!
indieblogger - Hey, I never even noticed that. IT’S KARMA!
Sapphires - I’m certainly startled!
RAWr!!! He’s TALL AND cUTE!!! I don’t think mah honey will like it when I suddenly start watching the SUNS more than mah KNICKS!!!
ooh will his face be painted on japanese airlines too? :-p
wwny - It’ll definitely be more interesting than watching the Knicks, too!
Destination_Prestige - I’m predicting something a little higher, like the face on the new Japanese flag.
Oh man. On top of having to watch the Yankees, I gotta watch the Phoenix Suns too? TORTURE.
Dramamine…hahahah…I useed to take that shit all the time…then I overdosed on it. And yea…I get sick LOOKING at that shit.

cerveza - Well, the Yankees aren’t playin’ anymore, so woohoo, you can focus all your attention on the Suns!
xApoemTOtheDEATH - Someone told me you have to take like 30 of those things. How many did you take!?!
Bloodberry - HI! I saw your comment, so I went to your site thinking “Yay, she’s back!” and then got there and said “Well… no, she’s not”.
Ya know, all ya have to do is come play CS. I play in the OHG server now (209.164.28.212:27015).
corrie_joker - Ahhhh, the magic of Photoshop! He looks like a rat!?! EVEN MORE of a miracle that he’s in the NBA! How many rats play basketball!?!
