NBA Geography, 101

I can't, in good conscience, actually label this as a "post" -- but, for the love of God and all that is holy, I need to record for posterity the sheer awesomeness of this quote.

"Three-fourths of the world is covered by water. The rest is covered by Chuck Hayes."
-- Shane Battier, to the Houston Chronicle, on the faith the Rockets have in Hayes' defense.

You can see the birth of genius here, at about the 1:10 mark. Especially notable is the pure geeky glee Battier derives from cracking his own self up. Makes my heart smile.
