| Let's get this out in the open to begin with. I love Mehmet Okur. He's a big, tall, slightly goofy European bigman who averaged 17 and 10 after the All-Star break last season (2007-2008) and hits clutch three pointers. He seems like a fun loving family man who jokes around with his team mates. He just sounds really shy in interviews (in English, not his mother tongue) . . . I've gone out of my way to listen to how he speaks, and he seems to have a few "go-to-moves" when giving an interview. Thus, it is only necessary to make a drinking game out of it. |  |

Each time Memo says one of these words or phrases take the required number of sips. Please remember to drink responsibly, around people who care about you, and in a safe place. Do not drink and drive, or drink and draft (if you play fantasy basketball).
| working | defense | my shot(s) | my teammates | I mean | hard |
| like | myself | try | feel good | y'know | run |
| hopefully | probably | so far so good | good "anything" | confidence | (at) home |
| like I said | open shots | look for me | uuhhhhh | play | hungry |
There was a post game interview on TNT with Memo where he basically said all of those 'go to' interview phrases. I can no longer find it on YouTube, so that sucks. But in the mean time, here are a few videos and mp3s to test out this game with:
| | Memo and Booz interviewed during the All-Star weekend back in 2006-2007. |
| Memo Interview (Oct 17, 2007) | Talking after a game vs. Philly in the preseason |
| | Playing hard, being 'hot', and making shots. |
| Memo Interview (Oct 14th, 2008) | Talks about defense and other stuff. |
| | Memo talks about shutting down Dwight Howard |
| Memo Interview (Oct 2nd, 2008) | Talking about training camp, and his body fat. |
| | Talking about going on the road and taking people off the dribble. |
Hope you guys aren't too wasted yet, and thanks to Basketballjohn.com (YouTube user utahbasketballjohn) and, as always, 1320 KFan radio. And yes, this YouTube Tuesday is a day late ... again. Whatever man, some of us don't blog for our living . . . (or have the talent to do so).
