Terrance Dean, the former MTV producer who's about to release his hotly-anticipated-by-us book on the gay secrets of hip hop, has provided a few more details on "Preston," the mystery pro athlete who Dean says he had a fling with at an island resort. So all of you who guessed football players, baseball players, or Mike Tyson: wrong!:
"In the meantime, I hoped on the computer and googled Preston. Oh you best believe I checked him out. I mean what person wouldn't? Normally I would not have done it, but I wanted to know more about this talented basketball player. I had to find out his stats - height (Preston is a tall dude. I am tall, standing at 6'2, but I felt short next to his long lean muscular body). I checked his weight, rebounds, average points per game, how long he's been playing, and other vital information.I was impressed. Preston was on top of his game. The press liked him and he was hometown favorite. In high school and college he was an all-around favorite, traveling across the country showcasing his talented ball-handling skills. The more I discovered, the more I liked. So, I was looking forward to spending more time with this amazing basketball player."
Later, they hook up again. Then "Preston" gets an urgent phone call. What happens next?
Check back tomorrow when Preston introduces Terrance to some important people.
Okay!

Definitely Richard Jefferson, "Nets pro."
Ballhandling skills indeed.
I said it yesterday, I say it again now. Jason Williams.
First of all, that writing is incredibly painful to get through.
But more importantly - Sam Cassell.
a tall basketball player? well that narrows it down.
Tony Parker! Eva Longoria is such a fag hag.
His prose style is reminiscent of the great Francine Pascal.
Manute Bol?
Charles Barkley. Raging homosexual, that one.
My guesses are: Cherokee Parks, Christian Laettner, J.J. Reddick, Jason Williams, Bobby Hurley or Greg Paulus.
World B. Free?
I certainly hope this book doesn't cause any grief in the hallowed halls of Jai Alai.
@hughman: Tall AND black. So... it's not Bill Walton's kid. Or Larry Bird.
@dontchuknow: Tony Parker is actually quite short considering other basketball players' heights. And I don't think he wants to dribble his balls on some dude's face.
Yao Ming.
The press liked him and he was hometown favorite. In high school and college he was an all-around favorite, traveling across the country showcasing his talented ball-handling skills.
He makes it sound like he played for a pro team in his hometown. Also, maybe a McDonald's All-American or AAU all star in high school and college?
Who want to gay sex Mutumbo?
KG is my guess... but it's sad when true life storylines mimic The L Word
@Sarcastro: That's a turrrible thing to say about the Round Mound. Turrrrrrible.
@Botswana Meat Commission FC: I think trying to infer anything from this particular writing "style" is a waste of time.
Shawn Kemp?
Also, it's Stephen Jackson.
@Knucklehead Babylon: Or Mugsey Bogues on stilts.
@TheHonJudgeSmails: J.J. & Christian could totally go by the alias Preston and no one would be none the wiser.
Or maybe I just associate the name Preston with WASP-y types.
@TheHonJudgeSmails: Which Jason Williams? Marshall, Duke, or Murderous?
In the next chapter, we learn that Terrence himself was, in fact, one of Preston's rebounds.
Just when Kobe Bryant got the MVP, all of this had to come out...
@Conbon: Duke.
@Knucklehead Babylon: Nooooooooo! Don't even say that! I've had sexy dreams about Yao, he's only into cuddling! (nb: My sexy dreams are always about random celebrities and have no relation to people I actually find attractive)
@Conbon: For the paraphiliac gay.
@TheHonJudgeSmails: Well in that case, he doesn't really fit in with the rest of your list. I think you should substitute Wojo.
Chris Webber's kinda fruity.
Speaking of Jefferson:
[sports.espn.go.com]
Sounds like some gay panic at the disco.
@TheHonJudgeSmails: UNC alum?
Do gay rappers have hand signs and what are they?
@Conbon: Good call.
@AndIAmTellingYou: Haha, nope. Just a discerning gentleman of taste.
@arguablythemostfamous: KG didn't go to college.
@maevemealone: A friend of mine had a sexy dream about David Alan Grier and didn't even know who he was. One day we were watching "Blankman" and she was like "THAT'S THE GUY!."
*sniff* *sniff*
Smells like Axe in here.
@Knucklehead Babylon: David Alan Grier was fucking a girl in my dorm freshman year.
@fivehole: He's the only basketball player I could think of, and he's tall. So clearly not gay, I just wanted to contribute.
that is some fucking wack as hell writing. even with two frank riches as gay daddies, this guy aint editing the paris review.
@arguablythemostfamous: Can't be KG. Didn't he skip college and go straight to the pros?
"ball-handling skills"
heh. heh.
Meadowlark Lemon.
Len Bias?
[crickets]
What? Too soon?
@Knucklehead Babylon: It's very subliminal I think. I believe I had seen a commercial that day with Yao Ming in it and thought to myself, he has a sweet smile, then whammo, he's in my dream. The rest of my list of sexy dream stars is absurd and embarrassing. I wake up very confused and wondering when did ever even see an episode of Saved by the Bell let alone crushed on the blonde guy?

@Conbon: Isn't it terrible that Wojo is still around? When Duke beat Belmont and I saw Coach Wojo's stumpy arm pumping its fat fist, I had flashbacks to yelling at him on TV telling him to stop slapping the fucking floor.
@TheHonJudgeSmails: Hmpff... Enough taste not to go to North Carolina Correctional.
(Duke '97)
Lew Alcindor?
@Clarence Rosario: Who wanna sex Dikembe?
