ThatFan.com — Are You That Fan?

Surprise, surprise, it’s the Lakers vs. the Celtics in the NBA finals.  I can’t really complain…the Lakeshow is my team and if it isn’t Lebron and the Cavs they are facing, I’d want the Celtics.  Game 3 was last night and it was the first stop in Boston.  All signs point to whoever won Game 3 would end up with a great shot at winning the series as it was tied at 1-1.

Hopefully Boston fans thought it was their mission to do whatever they could to provide some sort of a homecourt advantage.  We’ve heard of a few of those actions, but the most interesting dealt with fans wearing Khloe Kardashian masks:

In case you’ve been under a rock, Ms. Kardashian is the wife of Lakers star Lamar Odom. Website Tauntr.com passed out 5,000 of the masks to fans outside of TD Garden before last night’s game.

Odom’s teamate and star of Game 3, Derek Fisher, supported Lamar in an interview today with Ryan Seacrest: “I didn’t really feel comfortable with that at all…Khloe is the wife of another man and my teammate, and some things we gotta leave at home.  ‘Boo’ Lamar, say some things about Lamar, but you don’t bring peoples’ loved ones into a game of that magnitude.”

Oh whatever D-Fish, you won the game anyway, and it was all in good fun.  Go out and focus on Game 4 because I’m sure Boston fans will be back with more taunts!

John Wooden is the greatest coach in the history of organized sports…and life.

The best way that we could think to remember him was have him help everyone with the wisdom that the Wizard of Westwood shared with his players, friends and fans over the great years that he was on Earth.

1. “A coach is someone who can give correction without causing resentment.”

2. “Ability is a poor man’s wealth.”

3. “Adversity is the state in which man mostly easily becomes acquainted with himself, being especially free of admirers then.”

4. “Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are.”

5. “Be prepared and be honest.”

6. “Consider the rights of others before your own feelings, and the feelings of others before your own rights.”

7. “Do not let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do.”

8. “Don’t measure yourself by what you have accomplished, but by what you should have accomplished with your ability.”

9. “Failure is not fatal, but failure to change might be.”

10. “I’d rather have a lot of talent and a little experience than a lot of experience and a little talent.”

11. “If you don’t have time to do it right, when will you have time to do it over?”

12. “If you’re not making mistakes, then you’re not doing anything. I’m positive that a doer makes mistakes.”

13. “It isn’t what you do, but how you do it.”

14. “It’s not so important who starts the game but who finishes it.”

15. “It’s the little details that are vital. Little things make big things happen.”

16. “It’s what you learn after you know it all that counts.”

17. “Material possessions, winning scores, and great reputations are meaningless in the eyes of the Lord, because He knows what we really are and that is all that matters.”

18. “Never mistake activity for achievement.”

19. “Success comes from knowing that you did your best to become the best that you are capable of becoming.”

Ahhh, Jeff Van Gundy…Mr. Ankle Biter himself.  Van Gundy, a former NBA head coach turned broadcaster, always seems to give viewers various ‘words from the wise’ and Game 3 of the Magic/Celtics game was no different.  Check this video out and listen as he makes fun of the Laker fans wearing Kobe jerseys to an Orlando/Boston game:

Best part of the video: “You know someone just called them and said, you’re on TV, look like a clown. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.”
