Links: NBA Friday IV
Fri-Day! Yes!
You guys know what this about by now. Each Friday, Linkstigator and illustrator Joel Kimmel takes your requests and does a 
drawing for The Links. This week’s team was Seattle, and you guys voted for Kevin Durant.
Says Joel, “I decided to go with a pretty straightforward portrait this week of Kevin Durant. I don’t really have much to say about this one other than that Kevin Durant is a damn good player and I think he’s going to be an incredible player in this league no matter where he plays. I was really impressed with him while he was in college and it’s nice to see him doing well in the League. I left his jersey blank due to the uncertain future of the Sonics in Seattle.”
As always, Joel knocked it out the box.
Next week’s team? The New York Knicks!! Leave your suggestions for what Joel should illustrate in the comments below…should be some fun ones…

Isiah, Marbury, and Dolan re-enacting the Mad Tea Party from Alice in Wonderland. Isiah and Marbury are the Hare and the Hatter, Dolan is definitely the Doormouse…

Simmy Sosa says:
I think an Isiah, Marbury, Randolph and pissed off fans would be appropriate for the Knicks.

David Lee in the middle of a game. Surrounded by opponents, but his teammates look like ghosts (you watch right through them).

Marbury. Sitting on the bench. Hearing Isaih yell at him, but daydreaming about how he right now could have played with VC, Jefferson, STAT, The Matrix……

wow people really check this site at all hours.
what about the whole team doing marbury’s hand wave/dance to get closer to god?
alrite if that’s insensitive (coz of Ron Marbury), let’s go for jerome james/curry pie eating contest.

Vortex Knight has it. But if that is a little too much going on, it needs to incorporate Willis Reed with disgust on his face.

Lang, does a 12am post really count as a Friday post? I’m just saying.
Dec.21 at 9:18 am
TADOne says:
And the Knicks are way too easy. But there are a number of ways we could go, so it also is a difficult choice. All I know is Isiah has to be involved in some way.
Dec.21 at 9:18 am
TADOne says:
Actually, I think we should go with whatever Russ wants.

lucky the guy wrote durant next to the picture so no-one had to figure out who it is. how about next week a drawing that actually looks like the guy its supposed to be?

Dizzle says:
Have the “stars” (Curry, Marbury, Crawford, Randolph, etc) of that team sulking on the bench and have a women come off the bench to sub in the game and as she walks by Isiah, he pats her on the butt. Turns out the girl is Anucha Sanders.

Joel is an awesome illustrator, and Durant is an awesome player.
Dec.21 at 7:11 pm
RoscoeChibbs says:
Lets all lay of Joell– I defy any of y’all to illustrate a better portrait/ pic of KD, and post it…. If not– give that man his propers.. That being said, I think it is obvious that the pseudo B-Classic “ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK” starring that noted thespian Kurt Russell needs to be incorporated in some way, shape, or form… Since teh “team” on 34 th and 7th is basically in an apocalytptic state and all, it seem appropriate, Don’t you Agree?
Dec.21 at 7:23 pm
Andrew says:
This should definitiely be of Spike Lee kicking Isiah in the nuts with Marbury watching in approval.
