It's got to be time to stop adding teams to the
American Basketball Association. What other excuse can there be for adding a team named "
Ripknees"?
When asked about the name, Billy answered, "When I was a
kid, My Dad used to kill time on road trips by telling us
"ripknee" stories. Ripknee was an imaginary hero, like
Underdog, who wore ripped jeans and would use his "golden
knee" to save the world. We all ran around with rips in our
jeans as kids, especially the knee, hence the name.
I wonder if they'll let me in with my Ripbackside jeans. I did kinda fix 'em.
What a lame name. And I'll still probably go, 'cuz I'm cheap (hence the patched jeans), and I'm thinking it'll be cheaper than a Timberwolves game.
