waiting for the other shoelace to drop: 2013-2014 NBA regular season thread (part 2)

Amusing if true

Justin Bieber simply can’t seem to keep himself out of trouble. Police were dispatched this morning to respond to an altercation at a Starbucks in West Hollywood involving some familiar faces. A barista at the coffee house was apparently confronted by Bieber when he refused to serve the pop star because he wasn’t wearing a shirt. “He came in with no shirt on and his pants hanging down and underwear showing and tried to order a caramel apple machiatto.”, said Joey Goldsmith, the Starbucks barista, “I just told him he would have to put a shirt on if he wanted to order.” That’s when Bieber snapped. According to the police report Bieber started cussing at the barista and threatening to have his bodyguard, “kick his ass”.

Fortunately for Goldsmith, LA Clippers star Blake Griffin had been enjoying a drink at a table when he witnessed the altercation and stepped in. Witnesses at the scene reported that Griffin tried to calm Bieber but the Biebs wasn’t having any of it. There was more yelling, and some pushing and that’s when Griffin smacked Bieber, knocking him to the floor. “He smacked the shyt out of him” said one witness, “then I saw Justin stumble out of the door looking like he was crying.” Bieber was gone before police arrived at the scene.

a caramel apple machiatto.

so not baller

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT

man fuck everything if that story isn't true

Fortunately for Goldsmith, LA Clippers star Blake Griffin had been enjoying a drink at a table when he witnessed the altercation and stepped in.

“He came in with no shirt on and his pants hanging down and underwear showing and tried to order a caramel apple machiatto.”

this is my favorite quote

wonder if blake was wearing his super hero costume

if this really happened i pretty much need a feature-length film about the incident

starring kate mckinnon as biebs and blake as himself

Blake to Justin: 'I'm from the future.'

What if the biebs grows up to be blake

come on people, use your goddamn cellphone cam

if blake did this then he automatically gets a pass for everything and immediately moves up to the top shelf of my favorite players

Blake to Justin: 'I'm from the future.'

"calm yourself, citizen."

Is blake in the dunk contest? Is this a fake story, planted in the hopes of going 'vidal' before all star weekend? Will blake attempt to jump over Bieber while drinking a caramel apple macchiato and dunk?

Vidal Sassoon commercial iirc

are we sure griffin was really "enjoying his drink" before the incident? this is starbucks, after all, with its bitter, soulless coffee.

i hope we get some great memes out of this

Reports say that after the pop sensation left the scene, Mr. Griffen turned to the quickly-growing crowd of onlookers, wiped his shoulders, smiled, and exclaimed "That, ladies and gentlemen, is a slam dunk."

cancel the worthless all-star game, and have bieber-griffin / zimmerman-dmx celebrity death-matches instead.

that dude has gone in this year

heat-dubs and clips-blazers tonight!

word

no bogut tho

or oneal. so small is the name of the game tonight

this throwaway bit from the woj article on cavs organizational issues is kind of hilarious:

He stopped trying on the floor, and became a disruptive presence in practices. Before Bynum was thrown out of his final practice and suspended, he was shooting the ball every time he touched it in a practice scrimmage, sources said – from whatever remote part of the court he had caught the ball.

tbf, this strategy made carmelo a superstar

spottie your fixation on jermaine oneal is adorable, dude is beyond broken

god i hope that blake/bieber story was real and that blake used the godfather's "you can act like a man" backhand on him

the most awesome part of the woj story is the unnamed cavs exec who yelled "we're never coming back!" when they won the 2013 lotto.

part of what's so great about it is that it's obviously 100% true

lol bynum
