2162560, Am I the only one annoyed with the constant celebrating in basketball?
Posted by the_time_is_when_god...lounge, Mon Apr-15-13 10:45 AM
Like, when the fuck did the bench start jumping up and high fiving and all types of other fruity shit after EVERY basket?...

Why the fuck does everybody..including sorry ass one dimensional role players have a celebratory something they do every time they hit the box score?

This is booty as fuck

Like... what you winning my dude?

Second quarter and niggas be acting like they just won a game 7...shit is annoying. Just win the game...and then celebrate.

2162579, yeah it is pretty lame i guess its a way to bring attention to yourself
Posted by JAESCOTT777, Mon Apr-15-13 11:06 AM
cause lord knows actually making a play on the court isnt working

i am starting to get there with the Dunk Contest reactions as well.
Its mostly when its a clear cyse,it will be some basic ass alley and dudes falling out their seat holding their chest convulsing and foaming at the mouth.

reminds me of that Def Comedy jam bit on In Living Color
2162584, hahaha..exactly. Its to the point where it means nothing now
Posted by the_time_is_when_god...lounge, Mon Apr-15-13 11:12 AM
2162588, I don't like the dap after FT.
Posted by LeroyBumpkin, Mon Apr-15-13 11:20 AM
Other than that the celebrating doesn't bother me.
2162589, i hate the dap after missed ft's.
Posted by Cenario, Mon Apr-15-13 11:21 AM
we all grown ups here.
2162590, Novak is the most undeserving of celebrating on the court
Posted by Starks dunked on Bulls, Mon Apr-15-13 11:23 AM
Because right after he makes a three he will do absolutely nothing on defense.

And lets not even speak on what has to happen in order for him to make that three.
2162592, i know huh? i wish all the players were white with no emotion or swag too
Posted by LAbeathustla, Mon Apr-15-13 11:27 AM

2162619, Emotion is what makes sports great.
Posted by Frank Longo, Mon Apr-15-13 12:03 PM
Do you occasionally get moments where a guy parties too hard after a 3 or stomps around a little extra after a sack? Of course.

But would I rather see how much winning means to guys on a regular basis than not feel it? Absolutely.
2162621, whats emotion got to do with planned celebrations by wack players?
Posted by the_time_is_when_god...lounge, Mon Apr-15-13 12:04 PM
2162646, If you were paid 2.5 mil to ride oak, you'd be a happy ass cheerleader
Posted by auragin_boi, Mon Apr-15-13 12:42 PM
too.

And let's not get it twisted...they might be wack in comparison to some other NBA players but all them dudes can ball.
2162649, When I say "wack" I mean relative to their NBA peers
Posted by the_time_is_when_god...lounge, Mon Apr-15-13 12:44 PM
2162643, Is it really "emotion" though? Are touchdown dances?
Posted by ConcreteCharlie, Mon Apr-15-13 12:39 PM
I am all for emotion and even when it goes over the top. I love that shit.

But staged celebrations are boring and a culture of constant adulation is also repugnant to me like it is the OP.

That is one of the things I like about soccer and hockey, the games are too fast for that shit. You can really only go nuts on goals and even then it's usually kind of a team thing, and even if not, it's definitely worth celebrating.

Even when I used to play basketball, I hated when people would give dap for making a foul shot. Personally I didn't like to touch a bunch of sweaty hands between shots and also I don't think a FREE THROW needs any sort of recognition.
2162628, First player I thought of: Sacre
Posted by Rick Fox Jr, Mon Apr-15-13 12:20 PM
First link. LOL.

I don't mind the bench theatrics but the leaping shoulder bumps are HORRIBLE. You got players doing double and triple shoulder bumps after the timeout. Why waste fast twitch muscle fibers on all that shit.

2162662, How do you feel about the first down celebrations in football tho?
Posted by jigga, Mon Apr-15-13 12:50 PM
2162673, Celebrating tackles down the field are much worse
Posted by MothershipConnection, Mon Apr-15-13 12:56 PM
Why you celebrating taking down a guy after he just gashed you for 8 yards on a basic inside run?
2162689, ^^^^^^^
Posted by pretentious username, Mon Apr-15-13 01:14 PM
>Why you celebrating taking down a guy after he just gashed
>you for 8 yards on a basic inside run?

it annoys me much more in football. a guy celebrates after stopping a dude on 2nd down. the drive isn't over, dickhead.
2162674, They are weak too...unless they are game clinching or something such as

Posted by ZooTown74, Mon Apr-15-13 01:26 PM
shit after someone hits a 3

Aside from that, let cats be emotional, it's an emotional game
