Dan Gilbert once famously offered the Cavaliers coaching job to Tom Izzo. Maybe he should have tried Wax Tom Izzo instead… On second thought, nah… too creepy. After seeing multiple cut aways to Austin Carr and others posing at the strangest wax museum in sports (which exists inside the Breslin Center on the campus of Michigan State University in East Lansing) during the Cavs’ preseason finale against the Pistons, I’ve officially had my fill of paraffin Spartans.
Ah yes, the NBA preseason… where neutral courts, strange lineups and local color reign supreme. And now, after the blissfully shortest exhibition season on record… it’s in the rearview.
