For once, a man love submission has left me speechless. I hope you enjoy it as much as the Vanilla Godzilla clearly did. Seriously. Look at him. He couldn't look any happier if he woke up as LeBron James. (And you know, that would make for a great movie idea. I bet it would work right in with LeBron's "global icon" marketing strategy...)
Thanks to everybody who sent this in. It was the first time the same picture was sent in by 20+ people. And it might well be the best man love ever.

My Word Verification was "quishme" which pretty much is also the best word verification of all time in reference to the post being commented upon.

I think I need to take a 10 minute break and smoke a cigarette and contemplate what just happened.
EPIC
They're headed to round 4.
First there is the link to all the YouTube clips illustrating egregious flopping, specifically pointing out Baron Davis and Allen "Dive-rson".
Then there is this rather hilarious tale of pretty severe journalistic ineptitude. I love that someone out there thought that it was entirely plausible that David Stern went on the record as saying "We feel it is important that our players not scare the bejesus out of affluent demographic groups with gangsta-style tattoos." Someone needs to learn how to internets.
“Miami knows that they can’t get this done directly with Phoenix,” one league executive said. “The big thing is that they know the Suns like Gay.”

Docking pee-pees.
AnaconhaHL -- You'll never understand...and you'll never forget.
TehJay -- It needs to be shown. To everyone. This is bigger than basketball.
AK Dave -- Heh, the SFII references continue...
Wild Yams -- Good calls. The Dive-erson flops are fascinating. He flopped seven or eight times in one game against the Lakers. The funny thing is, I watched that game and only noticed/remembered one of the flops. And when I saw it, I was like, "Damn, he got hammered." Then I saw the replay and realized I'd been fooled.
As for that article, well, sigh, I'm so glad she's getting paid to write that crap.
Latin_D -- My, uh, pleasure. But, you know, not in THAT way.
Victor -- +1 for the pirate reference.
D.Klein -- Damn it! I meant to include that in WotN!
Where else does the NBA, Slash Fiction, Women's basketball uniform controversy, Kobe loving/hating, Gatorade-penis jokes, Street Fighter, Man-love, bad hip-hop, Kobe tasting Shaq's ass,and pickup b-ball all come together?
I love this site, and I love you guys- no, really (hic!), dude, I love you guys! You're the besttest internet community on the internet (hic!)... and I love you guys!
Spontaneous mid-air full-on crotch to crotch a$$holery.
Lord Mamba says, "This is why I only do one of three things in the air, dunk, verbally flop, or kick people in the face."
I was a sophomore in high school about an hour north of Matt Bonner when he graduated. As far as we knew, there were two kids in NH that could dunk at the time - he was one of them.
Anyway, the point is that, I too, am from New Hampshire. And, even though I don't have any Canadian ancestors, I pretty much feel Canadian, too. There's something about the way of life and the saying of "aboot" and "soorry" that just puts the Canuck in ya.
Incidentally, that was the first thing I thought of when I saw this paradigm of a man-love picture: Pryzbi will put the Canuck in ya. (He's probably not Canadian, but Portland is now as close as the NBA gets to Vancouver).

(And yes, I've got it tuned to TNT here waiting for that competition to start. Really.)
I'm sure the head geckos aren't pleased with this defiance from the TNT booth...
TNT just showed some vintage 1970s CBS clips of Pistol Pete in a previous All-Star HORSE competition. THAT was sweet. And now, Bird and Jordan. Nothing but net, baby.
Still waiting to see if they've reverted to common sense for the actual scoring, instead of amphibious letters. That's the real test.
I love how they're forced to use "HORSE" on half the graphics though.
"The people who dropped Greg Oden in their fantasy league: Greg's hot streak continued last night: 16 points (8-for-10), 10 rebounds, 3 blocked shots."
...and, I was wondering if, maybe, you meant to say, "BEST of the Night" for the man who saved Greg Oden's career.
I would like to re-direct your attention to my comment posted on January 19, 2009. (Don't worry, I'll go find it in your archives and post it in full immediately after this post. Obviously, you don't have to accept it as a posted comment, just remember who gets the reward when GO's in the HOF.)
P.S. I can't even tell you how excited I am that you even care enough to mention his stats. All I want is to be in the cool club. Well, that and a whole lot of thank you money from Greg Oden.)
Note: I'm sorry if this is a double post... the page changed, but didn't say "wait for blog owner approval."
"Mark my words: this year's presidential inauguration will bring change!! But, not what you think. It will mark the day that Greg Oden's career begins.
Why? Because January 19, 2009 is the day I finally dropped him from my fantasy roster.
You laugh, sure. But, I invite you to examine the evidence...
When did Deron Williams get hurt? What about Ron Artest? Rip Hamilton? Josh Smith? All within days of joining my fantasy team.
When did Jameer Nelson get hurt? The day after I picked him up on waivers. And, guess when he came back... that's right, when I dropped him.
Another mid-season acquisition: Delonte West. When did I pick him up? You guessed it: the day before he broke his wrist.
Even the NFL is not immune to my fantasy curse. Did anyone wonder why DeAngelo Williams and Thomas Jones had such good seasons? It's because Jonathan Stewart and Leon Washington were on my fantasy team. The best game of J-Stew's season was the one for which I benched him.
Plus, I started out with Lendale White. He sucked. I was lucky enough to pick up Chris Johnson a few weeks later; and, Lendale had a breakout game.
You see where I'm going with this?
So, as I continue to believe that I'm important enough for the universe to actively foil my fantasy sports teams, I've decided to save Greg Oden's career by dropping him from my team.
Greg, when you're in the hall of fame, remember who made it happen."

Can you please put Brad Miller on your fantasy team for the crime of having a Scrappy Doo tat? PLEASE?! :p

CAPTCHA: "dinke"
@Tony: It's less your fantasy curse, more Portland's curse and Greg's dumbness. Right now, Greg is averaging a piddling and boring 9/7. Beyond that, the guy cannot figure out how to stay out of foul trouble. It's almost as if the individual has never watched a game of basketball in his life, the way he approaches physical contact and flailing his arms around like an infant fresh out of the vagina. Seriously, box-out means hold your hands out, palms back and secure your territory, NOT bitchslap anyone who is within arm reach.
Greg's doing a great job morphing into Sam I Am (not Michael Jordan) Bowie, the only difference being that Bowie had better stats his first year.

"BTW, can we have a Worst of the Year for David Stern, the NBA and the fact that the NBA Finals MVP trophy is named after someone who never won it? That's be like changing the name of the Lombardi Trophy to the Schottenheimer Trophy.
http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=3908460"
Oh please, that's the worst comparison I've ever heard, bar none. Seriously, I'm not even going to go in depth with my answer here.
Bill Russell - 11 rings
Marty Schottenheimer - O rings
And I bet you're going to tell me with a straight face that Bill Russell was only a nice role player on those Celtic teams next, huh? Russell never won the award because it didn't exist when he played.
Seems like Chris and the lacktion fans might want to chime in on another recent post on a different blog:
http://jonesonthenba.com/2009/02/obscure-and-forgotten-nba-player-party.html
Yes, we all know Bill won 11 championships and that the award didn't exist when he won them.
flothingPoint: Well, the NBA already renamed HORSE after an unrelated insurance company. :p
Wait a minute...so if that's the case, what does that say about Yao's ability to cover his own half-court against the other teams' stars (which of course, is what the All-Star rosters are comprised of)?!
Oh, and perhaps some sort of satirical analysis or Jermaine "The Drain" for Matrix?
Beauty
And how the hell did Chris Paul's near triple-double not get part of that MVP dramafest?
