Is this a joke? In order for a retired NBA player to successfully run for governor of Oregon, he would have had to graduated from a top notch school, like, let's say, Yale.

That's like saying that a professional wrestler, like say, umm, Jesse Ventura, could become a Minnesota governor. Or that a writer, and performer, for Saturday Night Live, like, let's say, Al Franken, could become a United States senator. Or that a pop rock singer, like Sonny Bono, could become a member of the United States House of Representatives. Or that someone who posed nude for the centerfold of Cosmopolitan magazine, like, umm, Scott Brown, could become a United States senator. All are impossible. Just exactly what have you been smoking, you tree hugging, tie dyed wearing, Oregonian hippie?
