Thanksgiving is an important holiday for all of us here at I GO HARD NOW. We pretty much think of ourselves as the basketball blogging community’s drunk uncle, and we all know that Thanksgiving is his time to shine. In that spirit, we’ve decided to share some of the things that have happened in this early NBA season that we are very thankful for.

Charty: Laker Bros

Boosh: I’m thankful for Dwight’s headband.

Angelo: I’m thankful Sheed is back.

Mike: That picture of Brandon Jennings with the topless stripper.

Jeff: NBA Twitter. Watching the games is fun, but following along with Twitter is the best.

Triz: Andrew Bynum’s decision making skills

Erin: I’m most thankful for the veteran leadership of Rasheed Wallace helping the Knicks to an 8-1 start to this season.

SpaceFunMars: Neither my wife nor my work wants to hear this, but I’m thankful I have to work nights for the entire NBA season. I get to see waayyyyy more games than I ever could before. It is only at the expense of spending time with my wife and doing my job well.

Triz: I’m thankful for those Lakers bros

Charty: The new Denver nuggets uniforms

Erin: Bynum’s hair

Mike: DELONTE WEST*

*ed. note: Nobody tell Mike that Delonte isn’t in the league this year

Erin: Byron Scott calling the practice facility chef’s food “off the chain”

Jeff: Kobe Bryant giving less and less fucks as he gets older. He’s been a quote machine this year.

Erin: Pau Gasol’s twitter feed

Boosh: As always, I’m thankful for Varejao being incredible

Mike: All the KFC-sponsored “bucket” features during NBA games.

Charty: More Waiters ball handling given Kyrie’s injury (trying to look on the bright side here…)

Triz: The thought of Gilbert Arenas in China.

Mike: All the puns you can do with Dion Waiters’ last name.

Erin: The Nets kids dance team’s performance to “Hot Cheetos & Takis“

Mike: Sheed!!!!!!!

Boosh: Luke Harangody is making more money than anyone reading this

Erin: Ricky Rubio listening to “Sweet Home Alabama on his way to practice

Mike: Boosh (for spilling coffee on himself at my wedding and giving us that amazing picture… See attached)*

*ed. note: I didn’t attach that picture

Jeff: Andrew Bynum’s hair.

Erin: Kyle Singler

Mike: Dion Waiters.

Boosh: That we’re watching basketball in November instead of Woj’s twitter feed

Erin: Bynum’s hair

Charty:  Bynum’s hair obviously, but also Nick Young’s hair

Erin: The Lopez twins writing comics together

Mike: Weird/random players wearing headbands that shouldn’t be wearing them

Triz: I’m thankful for those Lakers bros

Boosh: That I used up LPBB slots on the Wizards and the 76ers.

Charty: Yeah Aflac

Mike: The Zach Randolph piece on Grantland where we learned he had “I’m in Love with a Stripper” as his intro music right after he got accused of sexually assaulting a stripper

Most of all, I think we’re all grateful for you guys. Our readers are the smartest, best looking, and generally awesome people on the internet. Now go get a little too drunk and argue with your family.
