R.I.P. Coby Karl

Coby Karl, the human refrigerator (”This game’s in the refrigerator: the door is closed, the lights are out, the eggs are cooling, the butter’s getting hard, and the Jello’s jigglin”) who only showed up in the last few minutes of a decided game, was waived last week by the Los Angeles Lakers to finalize their roster at 14 players before entering the regular season.

Karl, the son of Denver coach George Karl, was a fan favorite who lit up the crowd for an average of 1.8 points last season appearing in 17 games. He will be greatly missed this season, as so far we had two blowout wins, and no human fridge to throw in to seal the deal. Maybe George Karl can do some calls to Jerry Buss and get his son back on the bench. I am sure the rest of the Lakers miss him dearly, and miss teasing the crap out of him. Watch Coby getting some “rookie treatment” from Lamar, Turiaf, Walton and Farmar.
