Martell Webster somehow ties in midgets in his interview about "staying ready for games."

After the 13 point win over the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday night, Martell Webster was asked about his teammate, Trevor Booker's huge fourth quarter production and how important it was to stay ready when the coach decides to take you out of the regular rotation. This was what happened and I can assure you that I did not make this up.

From SB Nation:

WEBSTER: Yeah, definitely. Book wore his heart on his sleeve tonight, and he came out and performed, which is the most important thing. Whatever it takes you to get ready, you've got to do it. Some people are superstitious. Hey, if it helps you get your mind into the game, do it. Do it. At this point where we are in the season, I don't care if you have to come in here and blast music. Whatever it takes. Have two midgets come in here and massage you. Whatever it takes, man, do it. 'COME ON IN HERE. BRING THEM IN HERE. RUB THEM DOWN.' (Laughs). We're at that point right now where we have to sacrifice to get guys into the game, so I'm going to have two midgets come in here and rub me down. 

(Everyone laughs). 

REPORTER, holding back laughter: The proper term is "little people." 

WEBSTER: No, I call them midgets. I went to school with one, and I said, 'What do you prefer?' She said, 'I don't care. Midget. Call me a midget.' So that's what I'm going to call you.

Martell Webster, man of the people, master of hyperbole.

A D.C. Sports Anchor was a little too excited about the Wizards' win over the Heat.

This dude threw professionalism out the window when the Washington Wizards defeated the Miami Heat, but can you blame him? If your team, that also happens to be the worst in the league, gets their second season victory against the defending champs, you should be allowed to go a little crazy. Just ask the guy that almost killed himself after the first Wizards win, he was lucky Emeka Okafor was there to save his life.

Emeka Okafor caught a falling Wizards fan.

Attention: This is what happens when your favorite team that has gone under a 12 game losing streak to start the season and finally wins one at home.

“I was just so excited about the first win of the season that I leaned over too far,” said the fan, who declined to be named out of embarrassment. “I didn’t realize [Okafor] was too far away.”

“He was falling over and I saw the guy,” Okafor said of the incident. “He was smiling the whole time. Before I got there he had stopped himself. I just helped put him back into the stands.”

 “He was over [the railing] but he had a huge smile on his face. He had absolutely no awareness of the danger he was in,” Okafor said with a laugh. “That’s a first for me. I haven’t seen that before.”

Imagine if the Washington Wizards was extending a win streak instead, he would have done triple bye bye birdie off his seats and planted his head right on the stadium floor. But that was not the case, he is save and alive, and has Emerka Okafor to thank for. Too bad, he will forever be remembered as the way-too-excited guy that almost killed himself in a Wizards game.
