TMiss's Evil Plot to Destroy the Superfriends

First off, we need Kryptonite. Lots and lots of Kryptonite.

But Kryptonite only helps with LeBron. To defeat all of the Superfriends we must first know our enemies:

Eddie House/Robin: like Robin, Eddie House is a sidekick, and not the kind of player you build your team around. His weakness is over-confidence.

Joel Anthony/Green Lantern: Joel Anthony is Green Lantern because someone had to be so why not the UNLV dude from Canada?

Udonis Haslem/Wonder Woman: It's all about the hair (almost went with Mike Miller based on the euro-style headband, but Udonis is no Hawkman).

Zydrunas Ilgauskas/Aquaman: Lithuania is next to the ocean. Also, like Aquaman, Z sucks harder the longer he's out of water. [Note the wet towels they give him while he's on the bench.]

Mario Chalmers/Samurai: Yes, Samurai is a bogus Superfriend strictly from Bushido. Why Chalmers? From Mario's native Alaska, you can almost see Japan.

LeBron James/Superman: Rather than delve into the obvious, let's stay focused on the Kryptonite. LeBron is vulnerable to Green Kryptonite (ex: Darko delivering a hard foul), Red Kryptonite (think B-Easy going off for 30+), Gold Kryptonite (Pek delivering a spine-shattering flagrant foul), Blue Kryptonite (actually makes LBJ human, aka Corey Brewer having a brilliant defensive night), Black Kryptonite (what you get from heating green Kryptonite like crack and equally unlikely to impact this game), and White Kryptonite (kills plant-based cooties but unlikely to slow LeBron).

Chris Bosh/Batman: Lacking in super powers, Bosh makes up for his positional height disadvantage through quickness and BB IQ. His weakness: really hard fouls and Tolliver off the bench with some D.

Jerry Stackhouse/Black Vulcan: Gotcha! You thought that was Black Lightning, didn't you? DC created Black Vulcan just for Superfriends because Black Lightning's creator, Tony Isabella, wouldn't come to terms. Black Vulcan is a phony Superfriend, just like Jerry Stackhouse's D.

Dwayne Wade/Flash: Not the most exciting Superfriend, but yes, he's really really fast. Without Jonny Flynn it's questionable whether the Wolves can stop Wade. Our best bet? Tripping him. A lot.

Mike Miller/Hawkman: Injured, so who cares. Besides, Hawkman is weird, know what I mean? I'm not saying all Thanagarians are strange, but Hawkman? Most certainly.

Carlos Arroyo/Apache Chief: Yes, another made up Superfriend because DC's early '70s superhero pantheon was whiter than the 1948 Boston Celtics.


Not pictured: Hawkgirl, The Atom, Firestorm, Cyborg, Rima the Jungle Girl, and El Dorado, all of whom got cut last week.

Note: these are just goofs I'm doing to stay sane in an otherwise insane world, and are not meant to distract from Tim Allen's great game day previews. Be advised that I know considerably more about super heroes than I do NBA players.
