There is first love, and there is Zaza Pachulia love

PrintI am a man of hyperbole so take this however you like, but this is a top five day of my life. Actually, screw it, insinuating that statement may be an exaggeration cheapens this day for what it is. The weather is perfect, the Hawks beat the Lakers, and Zaza Pachulia is a god. When those things are certain, there is no such thing as over optimism.
You may remember I wrote a post about two weeks ago on this jersey.
And I said something like:
I am not kidding if we have a Zaza Pachulia and a Zaza Pcahulia on this team, my mind is going to implode. I would pay all the money I have to see a one on one game between these two. On a more realistic note, I will give you my house if you get me that jersey.
Well, unfortunately we don't have a Pachulia and a Pcahulia on the team, but as awesome should have it, I received an email from the Mr. Pachulia who does don a Hawks jersey saying he read the blog and wanted my address. After some counseling with a brown paper bag, I gave it to him, and today, the UPS man delivered the goods.
Zaza didn't even make me give him my house. The guy is a modern day saint.
The college diploma is going down. The Pcahulia is going up. Tell the kids, dreams really do come true. They really do.

Way to go
I like Zaza too, maybe not to the degree you do Hawksdawg, but he is good. I haven’t been on this site long, but I can tell you got a huge man crush on the guy. Nothing wrong with that, just keep it there and don’t take it any further. He should get more minutes, but last night against the Lakers you couldn’t ask for more from the guy. Either way its great to see him give back to the fans. That’s a lot better than some of the stories I have heard about Joe (hopefully they are untrue).

As if this wasn't an awesome day already
THE HAWKS ARE ON THE COVER OF SLAM MAGAZINE!!!

I never though I would see this day
Sick! Quite a gem; you better not wear it to every game or it'll get worn out!
On a serious note, I think that someone the caliber of Zaza is always rewarded by true fans over the star like Joe Johnson or Jamal Crawford.
Zaza is the guy that gets the world’s ugliest double-double, never brags, always has his teammates’ backs, never complains being on the bench, and never gets down on himself when he has a bad game.
In short, he is THE MAN!
No waaaay!!!
I was considering making one of my own like this in the NBA store. hahaha.
ZAZA, if you’re reading this… I just wanted to say you played like a BEAST last nite!!!
whoa really?
I guess you never know who reads the blogs huh?
Atlanta will win a championship....someday
well
now its on yahoo’s ball don’t lie http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/blog/ball_dont_lie/post/The-Zaza-Pachulia-outreach-program-is-fantastic?urn=nba,231658&post_comment=1&success=1

One more thing about Zaza and last night
The look in his eye in the third qtr, when he is sitting on the bench with Mo in his ear, that look of intense focus, is a classic. As Lion is getting his 3rd foul as i remember, that camera view of Zaza, shows how intense he is into the game even from the bench.
Pachulia...just a rolls off your tongue!
Clips fan here, to congratulate you on your prized possession…you’re famous…not only did clipsnation.com link you, but also Truehoop!

Holy Ass Crackers!!
That is incredible!! I can count the days of my life I’ve been jealous of another human being on one hand, and today gets my thumb. Congrats hawksdawg.
WOW that is awesome.
that is why i love Zaza Pachulia. When my girlfriend and I made it late to the Hawks meet and greet you know the one guy we waited on to hopefully get a picture with? That’s right Zaza Pachulia. And he accepted and it was awesome. We got a picture of his 6’11" awesome self, with my 4’11" awesome self girlfriend. It was a beautiful match. I wouldn’t have even been mad if he tried to sneak a feelskie….. haha
NICE....
I’m a clipper fan, and like hawksdawgs I have an unexplainable man crush on Zaza. When he refused to back down from Kevin Garnett in the playoffs, i knew it was love. I talked about it so much a number of my friends began to question my sexual orientation. Good times….good times. Sadly, no players on the current clippers roster (excluding griffin, I hope, and sometimes Gordon) inspire such feelings.
I keep telling you Drew
You have got to get Zaza’s Playground back up, if for no other reason to post about Zaza all day. I mean, I would if it were me. Haha! I’ve gotten stuff signed before (The Hammer gear is my most prized), but the manner in which this took place makes it even better, and frankly, beyond words.
And I want to ask about a little phenomenon that happens with me. How is it that while I know pro sports players read their respective blogs that it completely melts my mind when it gets verified? I mean, every single time, it never fails, I completely lose it and it amazes me to no end that yes, yes they do read what we write. Am I the only one who experiences this? It’s like my mind reverts to that of an infant’s; they no you are going to stick your head out from behind the couch over and over, yet each time they are still amazed by it. Interesting psychology.
Either way, ZAZA WE LOVE YOU!!!!! And I’m going to be in Atlanta this weekend, can you get me and my wife in your restaraunt? Haha, just kidding……but seriously, can you?

Incredible
I like the way you think. Zaza is my new favorite Hawk. He’s been that force in the background for the last few years but now Gasol and the Lakers really know who he is.
