I’ve put it off for as long as possible. I’ve successfully made it a couple months here at Bottlegate without writing an Aaron Craft blog, but he went and did something adorable, so here we are. I love Aaron Craft. More than any fan should love any player I love Aaron Craft and I don’t care who knows it. He’s by far my favorite basketball player of all time, and when I say it isn’t even close, it makes it sound closer than it actually is. The four years we spent together/I spent watching him on television were some of my favorite years to date. Did I go into Paint to put my face over his wife’s and use it as my Twitter avatar? I don’t know, I don’t remember, it’s a possibility, yes I did. This…

…top three worst moments of my life. And I’ve had kidney stones four times. Just crushing.

So anyway, Aaron proved all his haterz (America) wrong and caught on with the Golden State Warriors. Last night the team had their rookies dress up and sing for fans at an open practice (sneaky one of the most terrifying rookie hazing stories I’ve heard), and the rosy-cheeked point guard gave us this:

Never has bad sounded so, so good. And that’s exactly how you would picture Aaron Craft moving his hips like yeah. Could he given me a little more? Probably. But I’m definitely not complaining.

This isn’t the first time Aaron has dabbled in Miley, either. You might remember this little diddy from a couple years ago…

Kind of pissed he didn’t use the Adam Levine/Barry Gibb falsetto last night, but again, no complaints here. Jared Sullinger was surprisingly solid. And they were both head and shoulders better than Jon fucking Diebler.

And the most Aaron Craft video of all time….

Miss you, Aaron. Like the desert misses rain.
