Nice. That's not the first time he's made a STP reference. If I'm not mistaken, it was about the same ball player too.

Pretty well put actually if you know your STP and basketball.

lol I didn't understand the reference lol

either way... I'm not too into NBA, all I know Ginobilli lost the season    jaja!

Well, Deron Williams is a great point guard, but he doesn't get the recognition as much as Chris Paul, another great point guard. Think STP (Williams) to PJ (Paul). The ISL reference was regarding that his season this year wasn't as great as his last, but still overall a solid year.

Speaking of PJ, one of the band's original names was Mookie Blaylock, which is the name of a former NBA player from the late 80s, early 90s.

Well I don't agree that Pearl Jam is better than STP... but no one can argue that Paul is better than Williams. So maybe STP = Paul, Pearl Jam = Williams

I dunno...Paul gets the media love, but their statistical differences are negligible, but Williams is bigger, and the Jazz tend to win the head to head matchups...
