(both videos work, 1 is jut better quality than the other)
That sound you hear is Pat Riley throwing his arms up, slamming his head against the wall, screaming as loud as he can, and puking all over the marble floor of his Miami-Dade mansion.
Look, the above video(s) brought back some bad memories of the past 4 years but it was pretty cool to see 2 of the best players of our generation chop it up on set.
Everyone remember D-Wade and LeBron’s Christmas Day cryptic hug? It very well could have been LeBron telling Dwyane that they’d reunite in Cleveland. This could be the beginning of D-Wade taking his talents from South Beach to Cleveland. Hell, I’d welcome him with open arms. WE NEED MORE BODIES. He’d look great in the Wine & Gold… coming off the bench.
Steph almost killed us all but in the end the good guys held on and lead the NBA Finals 2-1. Coach Blatt heaped high praise on Delly after he had 20, 5, and 4. Yes you read that right. Matthew f*cking Dellavedova dropped 20 points in an NBA Finals game. WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE IN 2015.
Delly embodies everything about us Clevelanders- Grit. Toughness. Not very good looking.
Apparently this has been a season-long thing for Joe, lugging Elsa and Anna around on every road trip. I, for one, had no idea until I googled “joe harris backpack” and stumped upon this interview from last month:
“Even though you’re past the regular season, do you still have to carry the pink backpack?
Harris: Yeah, I still carry the “Frozen” backpack around on every road trip.
And then I get coffees every day on the road and I get coffee every shootaround for road games. I get the donuts – Jack Frost donuts, actually, before every shootaround at home. And then just the little stuff: I rebound for the guys before the game starts and I don’t really get many shots up. I’m making sure everybody gets warmed up and ready to go. I get the towels for everybody, whether it’s after shootaround or after practice. I just go in and get the towels and set them on the guys’ chairs.
And then, if they just want me to go run an errand for them when we’re on the road, then I’ll go ahead and do that. But with that one, they’re pretty good about taking care of me and making sure I get compensated.”
Is that really the life of an NBA rookie that doesn’t play? Glorified equipment manager? Rebounding for teammates, running errands, placing their towels just the way they like them?
If so, sign me UP. Yeah, Bron, I’ll run and get you a diet coke and some skittles. No, you won’t be getting any change from this $100 bill.
PS Best quote from that interview:
“What other lessons have you learned from the vets?
Harris: Well, one I took to heart at the very beginning of the year was when Mike Miller and James Jones told me: it’s better to keep your mouth shut than get your ass whupped. (laughs) So I’ve kinda been riding that motto all season long.”
It’s better to keep your mouth shut than get your ass whupped. File that one up top Joe. This guy clearly didn’t, and we all know where that got him
“Good game Jo. Keep your mouth shut or get your ass whupped. You smell.”
