On his NBA.com blog, before the Dallas series, Hornets' big man Tyson Chandler was amused to hear that the Mavericks were allegedly hoping to play the Hornets.
... it reminds me of when I was little. I begged for the My Buddy doll, begged for the My Buddy doll. I kept asking, "Ma, get me the My Buddy. Ma, get me the My Buddy." But my mom couldn't really afford it, so she couldn't get it for me at that time.
So, I kept at it. "Ma, get me a My Buddy. Every other kid got a My Buddy. Mom, I never get anything!" Just making my mom feel bad.
So, my uncle told my mom, "I'll fix this." I didn't know my uncle told my mom that, but he came over with this video and pops it in the machine. I'm like, "Ah, My Buddy!" And it turns out it was the Chucky movie.
All the next week, I'm telling my mom, "Please, don't get me My Buddy. Please, don't get me My Buddy."
So sometimes, what you think you really want, you don't really want. The Mavericks think they want us, and they asked for us, and we ain't gonna be My Buddy. They're gonna get Chucky.
In case you have no idea what he's talking about, here's a very G clip of My Buddy and a very PG-13 clip of Chucky.
When they got the Hornets, Dallas certainly didn't get My Buddy.
