Hey click through for the full article complete with pictures.
Apparently, the little Knickerbocker that could, Nate Robinson, has had his Summer League jersey retired.
Nope, I'm not kidding.
"Koo Koo Cachoo Mr." Robinson was quite proud of this accomplishment (as he should be?). However, this got me thinking. What other overlooked articles of sports memorabilia deserve to be enshrined in some sort of island-of-unwanted-toys hall of fame?
In no particular order:
-Brett Favre's Kleenex box
All that belly-achin' this offspring sure can take it out of a fella. This one isn't exactly "overlooked" in the traditional sense--since it can be seen Favre can be seen 24 hours a day on any major news channel-- but nevertheless it deserves a mention. Hats off to you, you sniffling bumpkin!
-Steve McNair's ankle
This one might not qualify since no one is sure if Steve McNair's ankle still exists. Although this one might not be possible, all available avenues are being looked into to ensure that this, the most injured joint in the history of the NFL, takes its rightful place in history.
-The Back of Anderson Varejao's Jersey
The back of Anderson Varejao's jersey is the unsung hero of the Cleveland Cavaliers. While Lebron is hitting jumpers and driving the lane, the back of Anderson Varejao's jersey is doing the dirty work. With all the flops that Varejao commits on a nightly basis it is a wonder that you can even see his number.
(note: there is no reason whatsoever for the front of AV's jersey to be enshrined)
-Aaron Rodgers Hit List
It is debatable whether or not a piece of paper with one name on it is considered a list. However, this piece of history has to be bronzed.
-Darko Milicic's pre-draft workout video
Whatever this young man did to impress Detroit must have been absolutely magical. This draft mistake was concealed by the fact that Detroit went on to win the NBA title that year but regardless, this may be the only draft pick in history that single-handedly stopped a team from winning three back-to-back-to-back championships.
-Michael Vick's Kennel
Uh...Uh I mean I love dogs! Please no one show this to PETA!
-Kyle Orton's Shot glass
...who am I kidding shot glasses are for pussies.
Well, this list could go on and on. If you can think of a few leave it in the comments.
