Debbie Schlussel: Bozo The Clown Makes Return Visit to NBA Draft


By Debbie Schlussel

After last year's NBA draft, I posted the photo of #9 pick Joakim Noah (son of tennis great, Yannick Noah), who went to the Chicago Bulls. With his bizarre outfit and hairdo, he resembled Bozo the Clown.

Well, Bozo the Clown made a repeat visit to this year's NBA draft, held yeseterday. This time, his sartorial taste (his suit) is more restrained. But Bozo's stock has dropped in value. Robin Lopez was picked 15th by the Phoenix Suns. In case you were wondering, he's 7 feet tall and weighs 255 pounds. His twin brother, Brook Lopez, went 10th in the draft, selected by the New Jersey Nets.
