lol you can't fuck with people's stuff like that

Best thing about the NCAA tournament so far is that every play-by-play announcer at some point in the game has to try to make sense of this absolutely unreadable Coke Zero Sugar ad copy. pic.twitter.com/eJElg8gG6U

Jayson Tatum couldn't even begin to process why Grant Williams would want to be called "Batman" 😂 pic.twitter.com/iiSV4UmWep

the best part is grant "batman" williams told jaylen "fire or ice" brown to tell the media

Jaylen Brown on Grant Williams' nickname: "He wants me to tell the media that he wants his nickname to be Batman, I said I don't know about that one Grant" @FCHWPO @Grant2Will 😂 pic.twitter.com/xxfCaL4tQO

xp to tatum's video, lmao that's amazing. i mean it's a silly nickname and self-applied nicknames are almost always by definition silly. but that is also a prime example of the high comedy genre of a pro athlete, after expending more energy in a few hours than i probably expend in a few days, being asked to opine about the most random shit that they have no opinion about. <long pause> "grant played great tonight"

jaylen not really into superhero stuff more of a crime youtubes guy

lol "i might give him a Frank Lucas"

how do we feel about the 'too small' taunt in general?

― jammin on the dud (Spottie), Thursday, March 24, 2022 1:31 PM (yesterday) bookmarkflaglink

from Lowes ten things article this morning:

10. Is "too little" jumping the shark?

I enjoy the classic "too little" taunt, executed by straightening one arm as low as it goes and flattening your hand, palm down -- as if you are shoving something to the floor, or patting a child on the head. (Remember when Pau Gasol petted Chris Paul's head? It did not go over well.)

Kevin Durant pinching his thumb and index finger together to metaphorically shrink Evan Fournier was a nice and very mean twist.

I like the scathing directness of the "rock the baby" taunt popularized by Russell Westbrook. There are stakes to it. Post that guy again and bonk one off the glass, and it's kind of embarrassing for you.

But everyone is doing this now, and I worry it's losing some bite. Guys are miming "too little" when there is almost no size advantage, or when the mismatch is so overwhelming it isn't close to a fair fight. LeBron hit Ish Smith with the "too little" last weekend. LeBron has nine inches and god knows how much weight on Smith; we already knew Smith was too little, and I'm not sure overpowering him is worth the boast.

Lebron said he watched the Godfather trilogy 6 times in 2016, and someone asked him about it. pic.twitter.com/wSyIle8nS7 https://t.co/efxnGSjo9b

haha lebron is so bad at lying

the fact that he responded as if it were just a normal post game question shows how stupid the questions he normally gets are.

The Godfather is a movie of contrasts.

making an offer he cant refuse things of that nature

another one

Lebron is reading ‘The Autobiography of Malcolm X’ - I asked him for his biggest takeaway from the book. pic.twitter.com/s2OzUww3XD

— Taylor Rooks (@TaylorRooks) August 21, 2020

hes one of the greatest athletes to ever live but who among us doesnt also want to be known as a man of letters

thinking about that thing from a couple years ago where lebron was breaking down every dribble and pass from crunch time of a game a few years prior and schooling some reporter on it and here he's like "it's an interesting book that's for sure"

and i think i have officially gone too far https://t.co/LJnbCiyEuw pic.twitter.com/jWdOYm0GhW

ha that is a Room 237-esque theory

yelling aye when attempting to draw a foul is getting epidemic marcus smart does it all the time and some other celtics have started too, his sounds lil different than drays more like a word where drays is a grunt also he does it on offense

yeah but what key does he yell it in, and how does that correspond with the music playing at the restaurant the ref went to for dinner that night
