Rasheed Wallace: Taking Advice From FreeDarko Since 2008
Alana G —
If you haven't already picked up your copy of FreeDarko's The Macrophenomenal Pro Basketball Almanac... well then what Euro country are you living in? Ok, so I only just got my hands on the book recently (I've been busy reading Men With Balls), but what little I've read has been excellent and fascinating, as I'm sure you've already heard. So naturally, when I was hanging out with Sheed the other day, I had to ask him what he thought about the analysis of FreeDarko's crack team: Much love to my old friend Nathaniel Friedman (aka SHOALS) and all of his book-writing cronies. You ...
The Word Is Out
freedarko.com —
Artist Formerly Known as Miss Gossip , you're a national treasure. This is pure gold. I especially like the look on Sheed's face when he hears the phrase "Free Darko" for the second time. Also, the whole damn gang comes together for a very special New York Times Q Tragically, they edited out the part where we revealed that high-top Wallabees are the FD uni. Thanks to everyone out who came out to the Redwood. The games were atrocious, but the company was good, conversation was at a high level, and I can only hope all our events go this well. Only basketball thought from tonight: Like I said, Oden's a work in progress. But things are happening. ...
Rasheed Wallace reacts to FreeDarko
Deceptively Quick —
I'm posting this mainly because I miss talking about Rasheed Wallace. Alana G has a video posted on her blog where she enlightens Sheed on the existence of something called FreeDarko.com, a book this funny sounding group wrote, and their interesting stats on him: And she blows Shoals' pseudonym spot, which I'm pretty sure is taboo amongst those who type on the interwebs. Beware the blog police, Alana G. Beware.
Sheed Enjoys the Term FreeDarko
Both Teams Played Hard —
Here’s a brief video of Sheed being asked by Alana G. about the Macrophenomenal Basketball Almanac stat that he plays better after he gets a tech.
The Both Teams Played Hard book review is still forthcoming, but in the meantime, the FreeDarkoers can rest assured that, at the very least, they will be receiving some extra credit purely due to the fact that I have now typed the name of their book so many times that, after decades of pure guesswork, I can finally type the word “phenomenal” without a squiggly red line appearing beneath it at least two out of every three times I attempt to write it.
Not perfect, but ...
Technicals are good?
Detroit Bad Boys —
The next time Rasheed Wallace gets a tech, it’s all Alana’s fault!
It’s funny but true: as illustrated in the the Free Darko book, Sheed’s per-48-minute averages for points, rebounds, free throws and blocks all increased after his first tech from 2004-07.
