THE GLAZED DONUT FACE-OFF -- spurs! heat! it's the NBA finals 2014, where little fatasses happen

Shea Serrano @SheaSerrano
what do you think kawhi's doing right now i bet he's just sitting in a chair in an empty room looking at air waiting for the season to start

nope. he is gazing lovingly at his Finals MVP trophy.

yeah Boris had some bad coaches, but he also had a coach who put him in a position to play transcendent, amazing basketball (D'Antoni) and Boris responded by coming back the next season fat and disinterested

boris' physique is beside the point, he's a hoops mensa man also he is french and the french are v aloof by custom

boris is too cool for basketball so u cant really be mad

^^^basically

yeah being distracted and a little out of shape seems pretty much the m.o. for french men

its like imagine u grow up in a country where sports are fun and nbd and a chance to spend time with your friends and no one cares about living above the rim and being the man that is france and that is where boris is from

so then he comes to america and everyone is like "you are basically magique jeanson dude ball out" and he just doesnt understand like what is the point, so lonely being the man and scoring by yourself

"we fold our arms not to appear intimidating but because we enjoy doing things in unison"

like have you ever thought about like what if serge gainsbourg wasnt good at music and instead was 6'8" and liked basketball and also his parents weren't russian jews but senegalese and french athletes i think that is boris

ooo la la xxp

Anybody come up with a good reason why Wade would opt out of 42 million yet?

he's taken less money in the past iirc

Yeah but last time around he had knees and a sure bet, plus sacrificing once doesn't usually make things easier the second time around

lol majique jeanson

Getting a text from Riles asking if he'd like to go fishing with him, just the two of them out on a boat

MIAMI -- LeBron James said he remains uncertain if he will opt out of the remaining two years on his Miami Heat contract and will take a vacation with his family before contemplating his future.

"There is a conversation that will be had between the three of us -- I think that's only right," James said. "We've earned that for each other. I don't know what Dwyane right now is thinking. I don't know what Chris is thinking right now. We'll see what happens."

Wade elected not to speak with reporters after his exit interview, which is the first time he's made that decision in the four seasons he has played with James and Bosh. Wade is coming off the worst performance in five trips to the Finals and was the subject of criticism for his sluggish overall play.

Bosh on Tuesday maintained that he wants to stay in Miami and believes the Heat's core will return intact. But he also anticipated there would have to be serious discussions among the players, team president Pat Riley and owner Micky Arison about the notion that the Big Three might have to opt out of their contracts and accept less money to create cap space to improve the roster.

James said he feels "more at ease" entering the process than he did four years ago when he left Cleveland after seven seasons to sign with the Heat as a free agent. James said he could learn a lesson from the summer of 2010, when he was criticized for announcing his decision during a television special on ESPN.

After winning two titles and advancing to the Finals four times since arriving in Miami, James also said there's really nothing specific the Heat's front office needs to do to make an impression.

"I don't need to hear anything," James said of what he expects from his meeting with Riley. "I understand what this franchise brings to the table. Like I said, I'm not at that point right now. When I get there, I will be ready to talk about it."

James did say he values the flexibility his contract options affords him to be able to evaluate every aspect of his present and future. James could opt out and sign a new deal worth up to $129 million over five seasons. The most another team could offer James, Wade or Bosh is a four-year, $96 million deal.

Should all three players bypass their opt-out clause, they would account for more than $61 million of salary cap that is projected to be about $63 million next season. That means Miami, which could have as many as 14 of its 15 players enter free agency next month, would have limited resources to upgrade the roster in some regards.

"I'm in position to be able to do that," James said of having flexibility. "Not saying I want to take that option right now. I'm not sure yet. There's a lot of time when you're not in control of your future in professional sports. I've been fortunate to have two opportunities to do that -- in 2010, and if I decide to use it now, I can be in control of my future now."

boris article was great parker-diaw bromance 4 lyfe i love that boris didn't bother moving out of tony's house until this season

beaut

howd they do that big ass flash

Wow! That belongs in 100 classic photos i think.

Are the shadows photoshopped on?

It's under editorial photos in getty, so probably not

yeah you can see the light on their bodies uniforms etc someone set off a huge flash

I could getty archive all day man

http://www.gettyimages.com/detail/news-photo/billy-crystal-and-janice-crystal-attend-an-nba-playoff-game-news-photo/488111951

how would they have been able to do that in the middle of the game without blinding everyone in the arena?

what im wondering

i know ive seen this effect before just not w a full court shot

Seems that Ray Allen would be the only person on court to be blinded?

there were these cool photos from a recent season that were super high contrast done w a flash like someone dunking and u see the players but the background is totally black but i cant find them

I'm really curious how they got that effect. The court floors are completely lit up all over during the game, so like kevin mentioned, how could you produce a giant flash strong enough to make those shadows and not completely disrupt the arena?

illuminati flash bulbs

i miss when the spurs were destroying the heat every night they shd keep doing it

when's the dang draft i'm bored already

OTM petition to rename the Spurs the Harlem Globetrotters and the Heat the Washington General
