A DeShawn Stevenson Divided Against Itself Cannot Stand

The Wizards guard spent the offseason getting a bizarre Abraham Lincoln tattoo on his neck. (It's like redefining the "neckbeard.") He also got a backward Pirates logo on his face. I'm sure it made sense at the time. [WashTimes/TruthAboutIt]

DeShawn Stevenson Rocks The Michael Vick Jersey

There are several possible explanations as to why DeShawn Stevenson was wearing a Michael Vick jersey and an Atlanta Falcons' hat at a Cleveland hotel before Game 5 of the playoffs. Somewhat likely: It's a statement against his least favorite movie, Turner and Hooch. Most likely: His OJ Simpson jersey was in the wash. Dan Steinberg at DC Sports Bog goes on an amusing rant — with tons of link goodness — in connection with our favorite Wizards rapper. Enjoy.

But the opinion I'm really anxious to get is that of Kristy Winfrey, author of the Animal Advocate Blog. Don't be shy Kristy; weigh in here!

NBAer Shot At DeShawn's House

Leitch — Mon, 20 Aug 2007 11:37:05 EDT

It's still early, and many more details are yet to come, but according to WESH in Orlando, an NBA player was shot early this morning at the home of Washington Wizards guard DeShawn Stevenson.

The unidentified NBA player suffered a gunshot wound to the leg and was transported to a local hospital for treatment, authorities said. The identity of the shooting suspect was not immediately released, and it's not known if the gunman is in custody.

No word yet on the player who was shot, whether it was Stevenson or another player, but Stevenson certainly has some issues in his past. Considering his once-stated notion that he would only talk to Wizards with field-goal percentages above 50 percent, here's hoping he hasn't taken to make sure those who are under 50 percent are shot.

DeShawn Stevenson Doesn't Care About His Money

From time to time, you'll hear about a ridiculous bet that NBA players make during practice... something like putting a couple grand on a halfcourt shooting contest. And I always think, "Man I'd love to watch something like that."

What if I told you that at a Wizards practice yesterday, Gilbert Arenas and DeShawn Stevenson had a contest where Gilbert shot 100 one-handed college three-pointers vs. DeShawn Stevenson shooting 100 two-handed NBA three-pointers... and they bet $20,000 on it. Would that pique your interest? Might that be something you wanted to watch?

Well, with many thanks to the exceptional D.C. Sports Bog... here you go, complete with Gilbert's taunting, flopping, and poor attempt at backspinning:
