Sixth Man of the Day: Hedo Turkoglu
Like it or not, sports is a business. While it may be more glamorous than sitting in a cubicle or unclogging someone’s toilet, athletes are still hard-working employees, and the smart ones know that when opportunity knocks, you damn well better open that door.
So while many fans scratched their heads as Hedo Turkoglu moved from a contender to a pretender, it was no surprise to us that he was making the leap. A few months ago, nobody outside of Orlando knew what this guy looked like. Now even a casual sports fan can recognize his oafish mug. And you better believe that Hedo took note — this was the chance he was looking for, and if he didn’t capitalize, he may have lived to regret it.
But not only will the Big Turk leave a team on the rise to become a franchise player for the only NBA team based outside of the U.S., he won’t hesitate to display his terrible rap skills and break into some ill-advised dance moves in a Turkish commercial…if he’s getting paid. You’ve heard of the iPhone 3G. Now, we introduce you to Turkcell 3G.
If the price is right, this guy will do anything. Rumor has it that he even does Bar-Mitzvahs.

That video is hilarious. Hedo should stick to the hardwood.
What the hell were all those other peeps saying in the vid?
