Von Wafer. What a name, right? For Lakers fans the name brings up icky feelings. You see, the Lakers took Mr. Wafer a pick ahead of Warriors star guard, Monta Ellis. Ellis has turned into one of my favorite players in the league, while Wafer has been tossed around from team to team for the last few seasons.

Anyhow, despite my obvious hurt feelings over the Lakers missing an opportunity to have Monta on their squad, I was happy to see that Wafer finally secured a home with Houston Rockets. Wafer has probably been on the best roll of his career as of late, scoring double figures in all four of his games this month. But last night, he got a little too big for his britches and ended up embarrassing himself a bit. Here's the footage:



After I saw Wafer get hung like that, images of a classic NBA commercial passed through my mind. See the commercial after the jump.
