Gary Payton was the player of the game Saturday on a day when the Seattle Sonics gave Bobbleheads of the Glove to the first 10,000 fans. The line snaked around Key Arena starting as early as 2 p.m. for last night's 7 p.m. game against Denver. No one loves bobbleheads more than Seattle fans.
The Seattle Times reviews the 'curse' that seems to be attached to bobblehead's. Dan Issel leads the cast (hint: it was his last game), followed by Lamar Odom (suspended), Michael Finley (pulled a hamstring), Stephon Marbury (stunk the joint out) and Brian Grant (ditto).
In the related piece, Geoff Calkins of the Memphis Commercial-Appeal takes an equally whimisical look at the bobbleheads. Of course, at Lorensen Wright's bobblehead game the other night, Wright was out with an injury.
