Several people sent in this, ahem, fascinating picture of Yao Ming and Dwight Howard. However, Stephanie G somehow managed to email it to me less than five seconds after it appeared on the Internet. (She must have her Google Alerts set up for "man love" or something.) But you've gotta love any picture where Yao looks like he's taking a dump on the court and Howard is watching like somebody just opened Marsellus Wallace's briefcase in front of him.
Oddly, of all the things going on in this picture, the most inexplicable (to me) is Jameer Nelson clutching at his own man region. I'll just assume he needed a quick equipment adjustment...
This classic line from Darryl Dawkins makes me greatly fear for the safety of every toilet on Planet Lovetron: "I didn't mean to destroy it. It was the power, the Chocolate Thunder. I could feel it surging through my body, fighting to get out. I had no control over it."
Believe it or not, this is George Gervin's response to the same event: "I started to rush in to help out. Then I saw Double D cock the ball behind his head. I got the hell out of there. I knew what was coming. I had seen his Kansas City act on the TV replay. In slow motion. It was scary." Don't feel bad, George. You're not the first man to run from the Chocolate Thunder.
Please tell me I'm not the only one who laughed out loud reading these quotes (which are from NBA.com by the way). If you want to know what Sir Slam and the Iceman were really talking about, watch this video. It's the number three (and not, as you might suspect, number two).
