This Dude REALLY Likes Larry Johnson
Sweet mother of sanity …
Shit, I’ll admit to being a big Larry Johnson fan. Thanks to his time with the Knicks, I became quite fond of Grandmama and “The Big L” he dropped on teams after drilling a big 3-pointer. I’d bust that move out in college during beer pong, and from time to time I’d rock my LJ jersey that I bought in 8th grade.
But this guy … wow. Where do I even start?
LJ’s self-proclaimed “Biggest Fan” first slithered into the public consciousness with a post on a Knicks forum I frequent. As you’ll notice, he gave us a glimpse into the mind of a madman with all kinds of disturbing Larry Johnson-related information in his posts and pictures. And, if you are a curious soul like I am, you followed the link he provided to his photobucket account. That’s where things got really freaky:
Exhibit A:
Nothing too nutty there. I mean, that’s a lot of game-worn sneakers to own of one player, but whatever floats your boat man. I bet nothing is better than that first whiff of LJ’s foot in the morning. Mmmm … that LJ 1997 vintage really gets the day started right.
Ok, the hour of wearing LJ’s game-worn skivvies on our head is better, but we keep that one a secret …
Exhibits B and C:
Something you’d expect to see in a comic book store or at a convention, but we’ll still give you the benefit of the doubt …
Shit man, another card display? Sweet Jesus. How much room does that take up?
Exhibit D:
Hmmm … a used french fry wrapper. That’s kind of gross. I wonder how many times it has been licked.
Exhibit E:
Was this ad even really worth keeping? LJ’s pictures seems to be chosen just in passing. Does Brother Johnson keep every newspaper clipping that mentions Larry? I bet he points out the name”Larry” or “Johnson” every time it’s used anywhere. “Hey wifey, check it out … Larry ‘The Cable Guy’ is on TV.” “Did you pick up the Johnson and Johnson baby powder?” “I’m inquiring about the position at your company, but I am curious … how many Larrys work there? I need at least three.”
If he doesn’t call his grandmother “Grandmama,” I’d be throroughly shocked.
Exhibit F (The Clincher):
Not sure what that is? Need a closer look? Be prepared …
OK, guy, now you’ve crossed the line. How the fuck did you even obtain this thing? The black market? Why would you even want it? Do you pour it on your balls when you are feeling especially blue?
Exhibit G:
Good god, I think I’m going to be sick …
Exhibit H:
I’m speechless …
I think you’ve seen enough. But, if you want to see more of the — literally — thousands of Larry Johnson trinkets, memorabilia and pubic hair this man has collected over the years, just check out the photobucket link.
And Larry … beware.
Too much of this …
… could lead to this:
PS - I wasn’t going to bag on this guy at first, but the wine thing put me over the edge. Also, he’s not a real Knicks fan, he’s just a Larry Johnson fan and those people plain piss me the fuck off. Who wants to make a bet that this guy has already requested “Larry Johnson’s Biggest Fan” to be enscribed on his tombstone? Kind of sad, no?

Wow thanks! This article is about me and my collection Yes, I am Larry Johnson’s biggest fan and you shouldn’t be shocked I found this. As I search for pictures of him too…you should have known!
I can assure you I’m not stalker or anything like that. Let me tell you my side of the story so you understand a bit more!
I started to collect L J back in 1990 when I was only 10 years old. He was the best player in the country back then and I enjoyed watching him play at UNLV. After watching him I really noticed his great personality which comes out in his game and how unselfish he was. Then the collection just kept growing and growing to what is today the largest in the world! I’ve followed his career no matter where he went. He really inspired me and left me with some great memories.
In the early 1990’s my parents were really going through some tough times and they turned to drugs, alcohol, etc…It was tough for me, but I found something I loved (watching L J play, and collecting him) and tried to spend as much time doing that, to take my mind off what was really going on in my life. Still to this day I haven’t taken a sip of alcohol or tried a single drug, ciggerette in my life! Nor will I ever.. I grew up pretty poor so I didn’t get a chance to go to any NBA games and buy a lot of the things I wanted. So I saved as much money as I could, buy cutting grass, cleaning up for people, etc..anything I could to help get new L J items. This gave me peace and joy in my life and still does to this day.
I’ve been lucky enough to get to know Larry on a personal level and he couldn’t be a nicer guy. It just made all those years of collecting him that much better…He thinks my collection is amazing and he is very humble by it. I’m so proud of my collection and how much it has helped me become who I am.
If you think I’m crazy that is fine and your own opinion, which you’re intitled to. Although I just think it shows my dedication to something I love to do!

Patrick PWNS! shame however that he couldn’t send LJ a bottle of his Wedding Champagne…
January 7th, 2008 at 7:35 pm
I just find it creepy you decided to write a blog entry about it…those people piss me off
January 7th, 2008 at 7:44 pm
Ha ha Jim = owned.

Patrick Copeland is Larry Johnson’s biggest fan! ’nuff said!
A blogger who wrote about someone who is too fixated on someone else? Hmm, pot calling the weed hippie lettuce?
January 7th, 2008 at 8:01 pm
ive always wondered what this guy does with “Exhibit G”… you know hes tried wearing it atleast 50 times
January 7th, 2008 at 11:53 pm
Hey Rick Rude…well you don’t have to wonder anymore…I’m 6′3″ and 285lbs and I squeeze into this baby L J outfit every night…I’m just hoping my future son will wear this proudly..ha ha Are you kidding me?
How many times have you flexed your muscles (if you have any) in front of the mirror like Rick Rude?? Do you wear pants with you mother pictured on them?? Jealous, Jealous….
January 8th, 2008 at 1:23 am
I don’t care what you say….sickest collection ever
January 8th, 2008 at 4:05 am
Man, i agree with deek…keep it up man
January 8th, 2008 at 4:09 am
Thanks for your support guys! I appreciate the compliments on my collection…it means a lot to me and I’ll always keep it up!
January 8th, 2008 at 5:36 am
Original poster is a douche. He must be related to orangjello.
January 8th, 2008 at 6:03 am
W/o a doubt, Patrick’s collection is beyond amazing!! But what I actually find very sad is that someone happens upon Patrick’s LJ site and couldn’t help but to take the time to try and rip on it and him. I truly admire the loyalty and passion Patrick has poured into a hobby that over the years gave him a way to focus on something good when other things around him weren’t going the best at that time in his life. That alone speaks volumes of Patrick’s integrity and character.
Also I couldn’t help but wonder about your very strange comment on “exhibit D” And I quote “Hmmm … a used french fry wrapper. That’s kind of gross. I wonder how many times it has been licked.” Is this a practice of yours because that would have never crossed my mind.
Anyway, Patrick has my support and I love checking out his photobucket account from time to time. I think it is simply amazing and I for one am envious of a collection that he has put his heart and soul into and has a lot of extremely rare items.
So to the original poster…. the fact you put the amount of time and energy into trying to ridicule someone with passion and dedication to something harmless but makes him happy, is what truly scares me. You my friend are the one that needs a new hobby.
Keep it up Patrick! :]
January 8th, 2008 at 6:09 am
Wow Patrick!!!!!!!!!!! Never seen such a collection. That’s Awesome!!!
January 8th, 2008 at 1:05 pm
Patrick’s coollection, yes I said coollection, is kick ass. You have to admire a man for his dedication to something he loves and that makes him happy. This blogger is a joke. Someone’s got LJ envy. What do you collect blogger dude and who are you to attack one man like you have? Let me guess you’ve probably got posters of Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom, Ricky Martin and, cause you LOVE to kick it old school, New Kids on the Block hanging over your bed.
January 8th, 2008 at 2:41 pm
Patrick!! My man, YOU ARE A FUCKING FREAK!!!!! You remind me of the 40-year old virgin. I can only imagine the jolt of horror someone may feel if, by the sake of god, you manage to bring a girl (or a guy) back to your place and they see this psychotic display of obsession. You never met Larry Johnson, and if you did he would probably think you are a stalker. If anything this unhealthy obsession with LJ is a result of your poor childhood and a pathetic attempt to create love and affection that you never received from your parents (but may have gotten from watching LJ on tv every night).
January 8th, 2008 at 3:40 pm
Patrick had the most normal and mature response out of all you people. He knows how to take a joke. The rest of you are boring.
January 8th, 2008 at 5:21 pm
Vedder;
My “wife” who is extremely beautiful, thinks my collection is amazing…so sorry to disappoint you there as well! It’s not that my parents didn’t give me enough love in my life, as I can assure you they tried their best. This was just a positive outlet for me to confide in when I was young and it’s something that I’ve wanted to continue. Let me guess you would have preferred I turned to drugs and alcohol instead right, get serious…when you grow up in a smaller city with not much to do, to stay on the right track in life you need to surround yourself with positive hobbies, goals, etc. and do what makes yourself happy.
As for Larry, I can assure you I’ve met him and he couldn’t be a nicer guy. He was very humbled by my collection and was shocked I had so many items of his. Needless to say he was impressed. Although you can think what you want…I’m sure he didn’t think I was a stalker, in that case I don’t think he would have invited my wife and I back to Las Vegas with him, play golf every year, eat dinner with him, etc…Then on top of that sign the very picture that started this topic “To my man Patrick, stay cool you have a friend for life!”….but I guess that is my own outlook on the situation…we know what yours is!
Cindi: Thank you very much for your kind words. They are greatly appreciated…see you around!

Yea, Copeland, we will need some photographic evidence of the hot wife.

Good deal Jim you got the collectors nerds panties in a bunch.
Get your own life losers and stop trying to collect everything out of someone elses you stalking freaks.
And right the fuck on Vedder. Nothing worse than the fat fucks with their Cheetos stained fingers masturbating furiously while waiting for a piece of gum chewed by Shaq to arrive in the mail.
