Pro-tip: Before you pose for the crowd after a dunk attempt, make sure you actually made the basket.

So a homophobe, a rapist, and a black guy walk into a bar, and everyone's like "Can I have your autograph, Kobe?"

After receiving a technical foul during Tuesday's game, Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe Bryant appeared to direct a homophobic slur toward referee Bennie Adams, but he says his words "should not be taken literally."

Bryant's reaction was caught on camera on TNT's national telecast of the key Western Conference battle with the San Antonio Spurs. After getting hit with the T, he stormed to the bench, hit his seat before sitting down, threw a towel and then yelled, "Bennie!" toward the court. Bryant then leaned back and muttered what appeared to be a gay slur.

Hey Lakers, if you're gonna "tank" (lol, y'all just got your ass handed five times in a row, that's called sucking, not tanking) the end of the season, do it right, ya?

Oh boy, I can't wait to see Team X with 5 billion championships play Team Y with 6 billion for the NBA title! I hope there will be at least 100 free throws in this game!

Lockout can't come soon enough.

Jason Terry face is guaranteed to be useful.

Ugh, not the series I'd like to remember. Thanks for that though.

BRING ON THE LOCKOUT

 

[Gigglepoo]

You're a Mavs/Bulls fan, right? You suffered through the Warriors travesty four years ago and now it's time to feel the pain in the Eastern conference!

No lockout can save us from Helmeppo's wrath.

It was written, it shall be done. Laker opponents shouldn't even show up to the games.

[Jackson50]

Rematch of the 06 Finals. However, Dirk does not choke this time. Mavs win in 6. Cuban attains the elusive championship.

 

[Justin Timberlake]

I still think only OKC or Spurs can take em out in the West and they can't see each other til the WCF.

AHAHAH

Even if we get close, a meteor will crash into our team bus before the elimination game and the Lakers will win with a bye.

Why are you surprised? There has never been a moment in time where this was not true. This is like the daughter of a billionaire feigning surprise when he buy her her sixth Camaro.

Quoting for truth.

Pro: reilo used my Celtics starting lineup picture

lol Spurs and Mavs fans pretending to be Sisters of the Poor. SA lucked into Duncan when they shouldn't have even had a shot, and the Mavs spend a billion dollars every year. Yeah i'm sure Minny and Memphis fans can relate.

Teams to root for in playoffs rankings:

It's impossible to come with more than four with these teams in the playoffs, wish the Lakers and Hornets could both lose in that matchup.

How can you not root for the Pacers? They're practically Utah East.

Are we doing our "on drugs" predictions now?

Mine: Tim Duncan reveals he has to go back to his home planet now. Is killed on the way back by freak meteor storm.

Carlos Boozer is struck by lightning in the middle of magical storm that appears above the court and goes blind. From now on he can only see things if they are written in comic sans.

Lebron James accidentally gets into the wrong car and enters the twilight zone. He's stuck in an airplane with a little kid who can send him to the cornfield at any time, and what's worse, he's pretty sure Chris Bosh is on the wing.

 

[Justin Timberlake]

Hey Kings-age, condolences. I hope you guys stick around and cheer for Anaheim, because I really enjoy reading all of your posts. <3

Or maybe switch to being Spurs fans. That'd be cool too.

 

[Bishman]

@espn_macmahon: Jason Terry: "A lot of teams want to play us, and they’re going to get their shot one by one."

This seems like a good time for numble's pictures of Richard Jefferson and Luke Walton looking like

To be fair, you guys got Pau for like a bag of pretzels. And not even the name-brand ones, I'm talking the "Great Value" brand at Wal-Mart. Memphis should've gotten retracted for that trade alone. Sorry, Bish!

 

[Gigglepoo]

Pacers/Lakers rematch, no doubt about it. I've been waiting 11 years for revenge.
