I kid you not. In fact, six Washington Wizards have their faces on postage stamps: Stevenson, Gilbert Arenas, Caron Butler, Antawn Jamison, and Etan Thomas. The tidbit comes from Dan Steinberg at the stellar DC Sports Bog.Maybe the best reaction came from young Andray Blatche, who seems to hate the concept of mail. First, he asked what a "poster stamp" was, and then, when Steinberg asked him if he'd use the stamps to pay bills, he said, "I don't mail nothing, I don't do any of that stuff."
Fight the power, Andray. You don't need the man's postal service keeping you down.
You can peruse and purchase the stamps here at the Wizards Online store, or you can also click that link to make sure that neither myself nor Steinberg are making this up. They're real. A sheet of DeShawn Stevenson stamps (I keep bringing DeShawn up because I find it so amazing that DeShawn freaking Stevenson's face is on a postage stamp) is $19.95 and includes 9 stamps.
You know this if you've purchased stamps recently, but that's not a very good deal. The cost is high, but all things considered, it's not unfair. When you woke up this morning, did you think there was any chance you'd have an opportunity to purchase a DeShawn Stevenson postage stamp? No? Then it's all a bonus.
