Right now everyone is calling up KD on the phone like this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tP5F8lJ5_p8

It's going to be funny when KD gets his ring(s) and 99% of the population does the predictable 180� and bows down (or curtsies) to kiss his ring(s).

Calling it now. KD wont get a ring this year and won't get one with the Warriors.

The best shooter in last year's draft and one of its best players so far. He was on the undefeated (until the Final Four) Kentucky team

The Main character on the new hit crime drama, DJ Booker. Can't really act but definitely knows how to shoot.

I'm extremely glad I haven't watched the Pistons at all during March Madness. What the gently caress.

You could point a cellular data enabled wireless security camera at a stagnant pond and see the same thing. The team won't make the playoffs and the best we can hope for is probably the 13th pick in the draft. Treadmill of mediocritie. Ish is finally starting over Reggie, but without Drummond playing defense, the team has no future.

dokmo: Aug 27, 2006; man

Papagiannis has only dunked four times out of 36 attempts and leads the league in putting up the weakest poo poo imaginable around the rim*, so I'm gonna call it: I was wrong about him.

* possibly related to the fact that the team literally has no one who knows how to throw a lob.
