Living in a Lockout

As we the fans prepare ourselves for an NBA lockout, take a look at how some of your favorite players are keeping busy...

10. Dancing


As if changing his name to “Metta World Peace” wasn’t enough, Ron Artest tried his luck on “Dancing with the Stars.” I don’t know what’s more impressive, the fact that he has a few moves or the fact that he was able to perfectly imitate Hulk Hogan’s mustache.



9. Job Hunting


What does the NBA millionaire, who was arrested for riding a motorcycle while concealing a gun inside of a pool stick case, do when he does not have a job? How about apply for a full time gig at a furniture store. Watch out college kids because Delonte West is on the prowl and looking to steal your job.

8. Spiking


Kevin Love is a California native. So, what else would you expect him to do during the lockout besides pick up volleyball? Kev competed, well if you can even call it that, in the Manhattan Beach Open this past August.

7. Coaching


Luke Walton, or should I say Coach, has decided to take his talents to Memphis. The LA Laker has decided to take an assistant coaching position with the University of Memphis basketball team until the lockout ends.

6. Planking


Gilbert Arenas and Dwight Howard must be staging some type of protest. The NBA will forfeit a season over their planking bodies.

5. Kickin’ It


We knew Kobe grew up in Italy and speaks fluent Italian, but I didn’t know he had a penalty kick in him as well?



4. Bluffing


“Celtic Pride” Paul Pierce played his cards right and made it deep into the World Series of Poker in Las Vegas. Let’s just hope he’s betting on the NBA resuming play this year.

3. Blazin’


It’s not that most NBA players don’t already smoke the ganja. It’s just that Portland Trailblazer Marcus Camby got caught.

2. Ballin’


Some guys are “Doing the Right Thing” and using their down time to remain competitive. While some are playing overseas, the likes of Carmelo Anthony, LeBron James and Chris Paul recently played a Philly vs. Baltimore game for charity at the Palestra in Philadelphia.

1.Interning


What better way to spend your off season than interning at “Funny or Die” with Will Ferrell? That’s how NBA All-Star Blake Griffin is spending his time during the lockout. Who says a guy that dunks over a Kia can’t be funny? Check it out for yourself.
