The Calvin Booth Identity Crisis

Washington Wizards back-up center Calvin Booth is a man in search of himself. Sometimes he’s a man about town, working rooms, and picking up ladies.



Other times he confuses playing for the Wizards with being an actual spell-casting wizard. Please note the following photo has not been retouched:

But the confounding quest for the soul of Calvin Booth becomes truly apparent when he takes the court. This is when the “Cal” tattoo on his left shoulder is visible. Nothing too unusual there. We here at Drive and Diss have “Drive and Diss” tattooed up and down each arm and leg as well as across our abdomen, but we digress. The “Cal” tattoo is so mystifying because it is in the exact same font as the logo for the University of California at Berkeley. Booth is from Ohio and attended Penn State. Booth has zero connection with the state of California. In fact, he has requested that the Wizards leave him home on any road trips that require travel through California. Could the tattoo be a desperate cry for help?



There is only one solution for Calvin Booth. He needs to get “Cal” tattooed in the wingdings font on his right shoulder. It will look something like this:


Witness Calvin Booth reborn with the elusive balance and inner peace he has been seeking his entire professional career. This should also drastically increase his rebounding numbers. Calvin Booth wins and more importantly, the Wizards win.
