Here's another angle. Note how Wally's pout is equal parts longing and regret. (His contract is expiring, after all. Once that happens, he'll never be allowed within 20 Oliver Miller's of LeBron ever again.) Note also that 'Bron is desperately trying to convert the man-hug into a fist kiss.
Here's another shot from last night's game, in which Wally seems to be going for the dual hand-hold and butt slap. Man, LeBron's lucky that Wally has only two hands.
I like how in the second picture Lewis is trying to ignore it while simultanously reallyreallyreally wanting to watch.
ReplyDeleteWV: wormed. No kidding. Lebron almost got wormed by Wally.
did anyone see the part in the game where Mo Williams had blood on him? As he was walking to the lockers in the hallway, he pulled down his shorts while the camera was still rolling.
ReplyDeleteHere's the video:

it's even better because it happens so fast. Wally wants to hug, congratulate and celebrate but Lebron just ignores him and keeps walking.
poor wally
Szcerbs loves giving Bron buttslaps. I think it's what keeps him playing.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of which: where does he go now? Who can use a 38% 3-pt shooter who can't play defense?
Ironically, last night's NorthMass toon involved a King Crab embrace:

I could watch that Cleveland video every day.
ReplyDeleteAlso, applebottoms will now be a part of my daily lexicon. I must complete that game.
All I hear when I look at these photos is Mike Rowe's voice:
ReplyDelete"Next, on Deadliest Catch!...."
Dammit. They beat your W.V. At least it was basketball related.
ReplyDeleteHA! An Oliver Miller reference.
ReplyDeleteExcellent.
That dude was fat.
As I was watching Wally trying to dry hump Lebron last night, I thought to myself, "This had better be on Basketbawful tomorrow." Thanks for not disappointing me.
ReplyDeleteHey, after the infamous ass-slap video, you gotta give wally credit for refraining from Bron's ass in favor of a hardy slap on the back
ReplyDeletethere was enough contact from wally for lebron the shoo9t two from the line, right?
ReplyDeleteThree thoughts:
ReplyDeleteI'm calling a "LeBromance watch" if they make it into the finals. As they say, LeBron can get his shot off any time he wants, and his teammates have to just always be ready to jack up shots...
If LeBron is the King, does that make Wally a Queen?
Was this the first multi-angled man-love post? How far will this go? Am I the only one envisaging a future where man-love posts will be in full 3D, matrix-style? Oh, I am? Never mind.
In the first two pictures, it REALLY looks like Wally is staring someone down. But who? Mike Brown? Mo Williams?
ReplyDeleteWally has the face of a kid who has to give up a happy meal toy.
Old-school manlove alert! Homophobic Nike-style!

OK, so everybody who called me out for comparing Detroit *04 to Denver- I guess you were right, and I was wrong. You're smart, I'm stupid, you're good looking, I'm not very attractive at all...
ReplyDeleteI'm sad that the series didn't go 7 games, because it was great fun to watch. Too bad neither team was really at 100%; Odom and Bynum are hurting, and of course JR Smiff's knee is probably more jacked than we are being led to believe. I foresee surgery in the near future for him.
Best thing about Lakers-Orlando matchup:
Shaquille O'Neil has been pretty douchey to both D-Ho and Kobe. I understand the Kobe hate, but honestly, I can't figure out why he hates Howard- all he does is smile and exude positive energy, but w/e. The big windbag finds reasons to insult pretty much everybody he comes in contact with; even hapless scrubs like Chris Quinn.
No matter who wins this series, SOMEBODY is going to be asking Shaq how their ass tastes.
Oh, and Stan Van Gundy is a frontrunner. I hate frontrunners (whatever the fuck that means).
a wotn to david stern: he can´t even set up the finals in HIS league??
ReplyDeletenike and vitamin water deserve a unhonorable mention to
haha Lehype got owned by Superman, "dream" season, best record in nba, MVP, coach of the year, lol got ousted in 6 games. FAIL.
ReplyDeleteLakers 09 Champions!
AK Dave - Shaq hates Kobe and Dwight for the same reason: they're both a threat to his legacy.
ReplyDeleteThis year's Nuggets were better than I was giving them credit for in the previous round when we were having those Detroit 04 debates. That said, this year's Laker team is not the same as the 04 Lakers were. LA's still going to have a hell of a time beating the Magic though, since Orlando's best weapon (3-pt shooting) happens to be the Lakers' Achilles heel. LA would have had a much easier time against Cleveland, even without HCA.
"You're smart, I'm stupid, you're good looking, I'm not very attractive at all..."
ReplyDeleteChubbs says: let bygones be bygones. Now lets work on your short game.
"I can't figure out why he hates Howard...The big windbag finds reasons to insult pretty much everybody he comes in contact with."
Because he's a senstive little girl...like my sister.
" I hate frontrunners (whatever the fuck that means)."
O'Neil meant that VanGundy likes to talk loud and often when they are doing well and is quiet otherwise.
You know, standard rational behavior.
Shaq is an idiot.
"LA would have had a much easier time against Cleveland, even without HCA."
Pretty much. James would have had to average 53/15/14.
The rest of those bums were going to get rolled up and smoked like mexican dirt weed.
LA is more athletic than Cleveland in their front court, so that will help them against the Magic. They also match up better height-wise, and I don't think Phil Jackson, in his advanced age, will switch his 6-8 small forward off Turkoglu to guard the point guard.
ReplyDeleteReally, though, if the Magic shoot an abnormally high percentage on their 3s, it's going to be as tough for the Lakers as it was for the Cavs. We'll see.
DKH - "if the Magic shoot an abnormally high percentage on their 3s, it's going to be as tough for the Lakers as it was for the Cavs."
ReplyDeleteThat's 100% correct. I've always thought that it's virtually impossible to beat a team that's on fire from outside, cause you just can't guard them out there as close as you do when they're near the basket, otherwise they'll blow past you and score easy layups. I think the Lakers will have to just single cover Dwight and pray that Bynum can actually stay out of foul trouble for more than a couple minutes, and that Gasol (and then Powell and Mbenga, who might get some PT in this series, just to send Howard to the FT line) don't get abused too bad down low. The Lakers are gonna have to get real good real quick at guarding the three point line, which for them is bad news since they are especially deficient at doing just that. Still, the Lakers do have more size to throw at Howard than Cleveland did, and they have perimeter defenders who aren't midgets like the Cavs had, so they might do a better job defensively than Cleveland did. We'll see soon enough.
"Shaquille O'Neil has been pretty douchey to both D-Ho and Kobe. I understand the Kobe hate, but honestly, I can't figure out why he hates Howard- all he does is smile and exude positive energy, but w/e."
ReplyDeleteDwight IS all smiles as he swings his elbows into players' faces, calls out his coach after a loss, calls for a Christian cross on the NBA logo, knocks up a team dancer and brings WWE antics to the slam dunk contest.
Shaq, however, hates him because he stole his nickname and is being touted as the next dominant big man. Dwight is dominant on the defensive end, but hit or miss on offense, except against teams with a frontcourt made of an impossibly slow Lithuanian giant, a rapidly aging has-been, and a wiry Brazilian instigator with limited talent.
dwight and his 1 1/2 post"moves" are not a really threatening 3-time finals mvp shaq o´neal..
ReplyDeleteANd they should of traded Wally and Ben Wallace for something more useful....*sigh* and in Nelson terms....HAW-HAW!!!
ReplyDeleteWally = Blue Steel.
ReplyDeleteWoah, woah, WOAH!
ReplyDeleteD12 wanted a cross on the NBA logo and knocked up a Magic dancer?!?!
Correction: In the last pic, Wally is doing the classic 'distract with a pat on the behind, while casually moving the persons hand onto your crotch' move
ReplyDeletelesBron had just managed to pull his hand away and hence has the "damnit, I felt it" look, while wally has the "oh its good to be queen" face
