Googly-Eyed Assassin: Pat Garrity in the '99-'00 Season



Pat Garrity had an unbelievable year during the Magic's '99-'00 campaign. Playing in all 82 regular season games, the googly-eyed assassin averaged a gentlemanly 8.2 points and 2.6 rebounds in just 18 minutes off the bench. It was a season to end all seasons, as the Redheaded Reaper dropped a phantasmagoric 32 on an unsuspecting Milwaukee Bucks team. To this day, he is known as "The Ginger Who Showeth No Mercy" in the woods of Wisconsin.

One of the Magic's most clutch performers, Garrity also hit BINGO-esque game winners in 3 separate contests. The most memorable of these came with the "Terrible Triple" that put the Vancouver Grizzlies to bed on a fateful night in January of 2000. The team would skip town just one year later. Coincidence? I think not.

Garrity is now a broadcaster on SunSports, where he delivers gentlemanly commentary during Magic games. He is the subject of a regular segment known as "Pat's Points," in which he makes a suggestion about what the team should do in order to win. Such points have included "Pick up the Tempo" (7 March 2011).

Let's watch below as he schools Samuel Dalembert with a MEGADUNK:



AAAAAHHHHHH!!!!! How ma a$$ tastes Dalembert???? Tell me how ma a$$ taste!! And this dude averaged a 3.7 GPA at Notre Dame!!! AAAHHHHH!!!!! You got schooled by a NERD!!! AHHHH.

Needless to say, Patrick Joseph Garrity is a BAD, BAD man.
