When we last mentioned NBA superfan Jimmy Goldstein, he was seen providing diary entries to GQ throughout the NBA season. Every other sentence padded his myth a little more. This interview provides some solid context to his mind-boggling backstory. We're here today because Jimmy joined Twitter recently, and that gives us a good excuse to celebrate his incredible Facebook page, a kaleidoscope of ridiculousness that one-ups itself every other week.
I "liked" his page a month ago, and there's just nothing better than seeing batshit crazy updates from Jimmy wedged between baby pictures and someone you knew from college complaining about the weather. Earlier this week I got bored and went back through the archives, and ... Let's play word association with some of what we've seen so far.
1. Profile.
2. Soul.
3. Kings.
3. Meta.
4. World.
5. Coat.
6. Morgan...
7. SMOOVE.
8. What?
9. WHAT?
10. Wilt.
11. Swag.
12. Hey.
13. Sure.
14. God.
15. Damn.
16. Hero.
And there's so much more if you feel like wasting an afternoon over here.
Jimmy Goldstein's Facebook isn't just the best thing on the Internet, it sort of IS the internet, all in one surreal capsule. So go forth and gawk, and follow him on twitter, and hope and pray that somehow he becomes NBA Commissioner one day. Or maybe the next United States President. We could all use a little more Jim Goldstein in our lives.
