Now gets in a brawl with a dude twice the size of him while wearing an ‘All In’ t-shirt from the Cavs game. WHAT’S NOT TO LIKE? Admittedly I used to think this guy was a little puke, but these past 2 years have shown me otherwise.
I’d like to officially nominate Bieber as an honorary resident of Cleveland. Put him up in The 9. Give him a place in the Flats East Bank. Let him sleep in the guest bedroom at Dennis Leebow’s mansion. He’s our good luck charm and needs to be at game 4 Friday night.
Biebs is here to stay and I, for one, am excited to have him.
Those weird ass Taiwanese Animators dropped this year’s NBA Finals preview video yesterday. Last year’s edition featured LeBron spraying Rogaine in Steph’s face, Delly laying on the ground with blades for legs and cutting Klay Thompson’s leg off at the knee, and Draymond Green hurling cans of SpaghettiOs out of his mouth. No way they could top that this year, right?
You don’t know the GD Taiwanese.
We start out with Bron and Steph trading bitch slaps, standing on turntables for some reason:
Bron and Kev then proceed to run over a crying, cheerleading Drake in a convertible:
The Warriors had to come back from a 3-1 deficit against OKC, so next we see Steph kindly giving Kevin Durant from “Oklachoke City” (Chokelahoma was too easy) the Heimlich (and he spits out a ninja turtle?) before draining a backwards three-quarters court shot.
LeBron is quite literally murdering the rim so far in the playoffs:
This is why you keep the thing that guards your mouth, IN your mouth Stephanie:
Kassius Klay makes an appearance raining some 3’s, taking the form of what looks like a cement block. This one didn’t do it for me. Last I checked, Klay isn’t known for being tough. Swing and miss, Taiwan.
Immediate redemption though, with Draymond punting Bron in the fellas four times before tripping poor little Kyrie and Wonder Bread Kevin Love:
The supporting cast makes their first appearance, featuring Harrison Barnes as a barn, Channing Frye as a thing of french fries, JR Smith on a hoverboard and Andre Iguodala as regular Andre Iguodala:
The video takes a graphic turn when LeBron flops and falls backwards into an ocean and gets eaten by a shark:
And we finally wrap things up with LeBron getting crushed by Block and Steph, riding a gigantic shoe and holding the Larry O’Brien:
I guess that means they’re picking Golden State? Who fucking knows with these guys. Entertaining as always though.
Cute kid. Likes sports, pretty well spoken, a little conviction behind his words. Good in front of the camera.
…are all things I would say if he wasn’t wearing that blasphemous jersey.
It started out okay, although I have to admit I’ve never heard anyone cite “what LeBron James does” as a reason a team he plays for would lose, but I chalked it up to a little camera jitters. And I even gave him a little credit for predicting the series would go 5 games instead of a sweep. Or so I thought.
“So you’re saying Golden State four wins, the Cavs one win.”
“Maybe, yes.”
Well THANK YOU VERY MUCH for the pity win, Brock. I feel like he meant to predict a sweep but accidentally said 5 games instead of 4 because, well, he’s a kid. Gotta keep reminding myself of that.
Steph MVP pick. Bleh. Predictable.
And now is the portion of the program where kids talk smack about LeBron James.
“Just like last year when the same teams were in the championship, LeBron James is gonna, just, every time that he shoots a shot, he might make one or two of them but he’s just going to fly back and make the refs think that they fouled him, but Steph Curry is going to be making all of them fairly.”
“So you’re trying to say LeBron James is a flopper?”
“Yes.”
“Do you think that he’ll have any complaints about the refs any time he doesn’t get the call?”
“Um, yes.”
Whoa.
Is he trying to capitalize on a certain vacancy created on a certain television show by the recent news of a certain ESPN employee leaving at the end of his contract? You tell me.
I will give him some credit though. There was absolutely no mincing of words when presenting his opinion of LeBron.
Pretty cool dad move here too, I know I would have been ecstatic as a kid if my dad interviewed me and put it on the internet. But he’s probably a Warriors fan too so I hope he wakes up and stubs his left big toe every morning for the next two and a half weeks.
