Adam Morrison Says: "Viva La Revolucion!"

Drive and Dish has historically hated on Adam Morrison. This weekend, Charlotte Bobcats forward Adam Morrison was in the mosh pit during the Rage Against the Machine show at the Coachella Music Festival. Morrison, who appeared to be dazed and confused - blazed and subdued, showed his solidarity with the outspokenly Communist and pro Zapatista Rage Against the Machine by rocking a Che Guevara tee shirt replete with a Che flag draped around his shoulders. The editorial staff at Drive and Dish (yeah, we called an emergency late night meeting) are thrilled that Morrison has given us a reason to take another swig of haterade.




Back when he was still playing for Gonzaga, I noticed that Adam Morrison was starting to look like Che. But, due to his pasty paleness, I also thought that he was beginning to look a little bit like Jack White, too. Now I know that I was on to something. Morrison's increasing resemblance to Che was no accident. He's shown us that Che is his guy.

Since Adam Morrison is so fond of Che Guevara and, apparently, of his fellow travelers in Rage Against the Machine, we can reasonably deduce that he's enamored of Marxism/Communism.
Great. So we can look forward to Morrison redistributing his millions in NBA earnings to the state ... right? ... you know, to each, according to his needs ...right? ... who's down with me? ... anyone? ... can you help a comrade out?

The bottom line is: Adam Morrison is a Che loving, Rage loving, apparently Communist leaning and revolution advocating multi millionaire professional athlete. Total. Freaking. Poser.

By the Way:

If I hadn't had a couple of flat tires on Tuesday night, I would have filed this post before midnight, and thus, would have posted this on May 1st: Mayday. How great would that have been?


Edit:

The picture below shows Adam Morrison when he was in high school (yeah, it's hard to believe that he used to look like that). He's clearly been into Rage and Che for a while.

Notice the poster of Larry Bird. Although Adam Morrison is too young to have seen Bird during his playing days, he plays like Bird did (but not nearly as well). From his perimeter oriented game to the way he shoots from the side, Morrison has clearly modeled his game after Larry Bird's game. Just like he's modeled his appearance after Che Guevara's appearance. So, not only is Adam Morrison a poser, he's totally derivative.
