Pol Position: Chocolate Thunder Down Under

Brooklyn Downtown Star

It’s fitting that Chocolate Thunder is shilling for FCRC, considering the man practiced his own personal form of eminent domain in opposing teams’ lanes - and he didn’t wait for official approval - racking up a whopping 379 personal fouls in one season - a record. That mark stood until Chocolate Thunder decided to break it himself in the 1983-84 season by committing 386. Furthermore, he was a one-man demolition crew, taking out blighted backboards across the country.
...
May we offer up a few suggestions to Chocolate Thunder for ways he could describe the Nets arena project? Just to get the creative juices flowing, of course.

How about “Insane Eminent Domain?” Or perhaps “No Hand Land Grab?” Or maybe “In Your Face Tenant Displace/Railyard Skimmin’/Grassroots Trimmin’/Ms. Brooklyn Risin’/CBA Signin’/Dan Goldstein Condo Takin’/Center Court Makin’/Arena Supreme-a?” Of course, we’re perfectly happy if Chocolate Thunder just want to call it “Turbo Sexophonic Delight.” How can you not be on board with that?
