    The cologne is called "Numb#rs" LoL. To be honest, all the all-star promotion materials are stupid. The Roy Leatherman, The Roy-pod, etc. Maybe it's cool if you get one, but it kind of looks tacky. I do however get a kick out of cologne being used to promote an all-star. Do you think the Timberwolves are serious about this or are they just trying to mock the Blazers? Do other teams give out swag to promote their all-star? Should they? My thought is if you have to rely on that kind of stuff, it shows you are not confident about the merit of your players.

    I think they are admitting that if he is chosen - it would stink.

    That is a totally horrible idea. I hope they are not giving that shit out.

    For people with asthma, allergies, chemical sensitivity, chronic bronchitis, this stuff is more toxic than cigarettes.
    Why not a Kevin Love cigar?

    Hilarious. It seems tongue-in-cheek. I applaud the Wolves marketing staff.

    It's not being given out to the fans, just the Western Conference coaches.

    Well, I guess if a team has the worst record in the West, poisoning opponents' coaches may be one of the few ways they can win a game.

    The Blazers should counter with their own "exclusive" fragrance for LaMarcus Aldridge. They should call it "Wins". He has them; Griffin and Love don't.

    He's padding his handshake numbers with those horrible attempts. What a 'garbage'.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Agreed, hilarious. This is the type of fun thing teams should be doing. The "He has the numbers" tag line on the cologne box is pretty awesome.
