handshake | Bottlegate

Couple things:

1. Does Shumpert have the best hair in the history of sports? Retweet for YES, Favorite for YES.

2. LeBron’s hairline has been well documented. Do you think he’s is jealous of Shump’s hair? A little part of him probably dies with each handshake imo.

3. If you’re curious as to what Kendrick Perkins is telling LeBron before tipoff, it’s outlined here from Cleveland.com

Right before the starters take the court, you’ll catch Perkins forcefully wrapping his arms around James and he begins speaking words of encouragement in his ear. James would then nod his head as he soaks it in.

“A lot of people are starting to compare other players to him and they’re not even on the same level as him,” Perkins said. “I’m just telling him to be great. I’m letting him know that it’s on him to go out there and show the world once again who the man is.”

4. Cavs need to wear the Navy digs every game. Sexiest unis in Cleveland.

3. Kyrie and Kevin Love ~~smoking weed~~ sharpening their mustaches

2. LeBron and Shump

1. BFFs Matthew Dellavedova and Brendan Haywood

Thanks to Joe for the tip

PS- The original video can be found here… We’re morons that don’t know how to embed videos that aren’t from YouTube

Are Matthew Dellavedova and Brendan Haywood the most random best friends ever? A 24 year old Australian guy and a 35 year old 7 foot journeyman became best friends right under our noses. We’re all focused on Lebron/Kyrie/Love’s chemistry and we totally missed the budding relationship between our backup point guard and our 7th string Center. A real life Odd Couple.

Question: Does every player on the Cavs have their own personal handshake with every fellow player? Is that a thing? If that’s not a thing then this pairing of Delly & Haywood is the strangest twosome I’ve ever seen in my life.

Remember when Kyrie and Kevin Love’s “sharpening mustaches” handshake got all the press in November? That’s nothing compared to this.

We speak in hyperbole a lot on this site but I can honestly say this handshake is about a billion times more interesting than Kyrie and K-Love’s. I have so many questions and don’t know where to start… What is this handshake referencing? When did it start? Do other players do this same handshake? Are Delly and Haywood best friends? When did they become best friends? Do they hang out on the weekends? Can they teach it to me? Can I hang out on weekends too?
