You don't often see the victim of the foul apologize. I think he said, "sorry my neck got in the way of your arm"
Pretty funny.

Is Tyler Hanbrough smarter than he looks? This is a "Who's buried in Grant's tomb?" type question, right?

Hansbrough likes to act tough, until he realizes he's in for a beating, then he runs away with his tail between his legs

Is Hansbrough smarter than he looks?

Is the Pope Muslim?

Is Roy Williams self-aware?

Do bears engage in nuanced literary criticism in the woods?

If a tree falls in the woods, did Metta World Peace knock it down?

I feel like Psycho T needs to stand his ground there. His whole NBA rep is kind of based on being a bruiser. Then again, while his NBA reputation may have been burnished, his life may have been shortened. I wonder if Metta was asking him for a recommendation for a good nail salon?

Eh, his reputation as a bruiser is already tarnished.

Any comment I can make about Artest will likely be dismissed as the perspective of a middle-aged white guy with an anachronistic notion of sportsmanship who doesn't understand the NBA culture. So be it. Artest is a colossal jackass.

I think you missed it. It's more like a zen koan. You know, like:

- What is the sound of one hand clapping?
- Can an omnipotent being make a stone so large he/she cannot lift it?
- This statement is a lie.

The realization is not in the statement itself, which is both true and not true. The import of the statement is accepting the contradiction and the duality, and the spiritual growth this acceptance implies.

Once you fully understand that Tyler Hansbrough (A) cannot possibly be stupider than he looks, while (B) being FAR stupider than he looks-- then, and only then, will you attain enlightenment.

Seems like Metta World Peace deterred some bad sportsmanship in this case. Peace through strength, and all that.

Tyler says enlightenment comes from playing naked ping pong, Texas-style.

i would argue that grabbing someone around the neck from behind and following that up with "You got a problem" is bad sportsmanship. Nice literary reference though.

Based on that video, he's just as spineless.

Tyler is a funny guy with a funny family. I was going to mention his funny face, but then I remembered what I look like in some photos.

Tami, Fats, Tyler, and I are renting cars to go to South Beach next month. Fat's girlfriend has it covered. Anybody wanna come along? Metta Worldpeace can't make it, and PJ is running extra laps, so we've got an extra seat. Matt Kupec is going to meet us there.

If .... "A corn fell from the sky...." and hit Tyler on the head would it make a noise?

Ummmm...if any Duke alum stood up to MWP, I'd call him an idiot.

Say what you want about Tyler, there is only one start move here, and Tyler nailed it.

I think the smarter move would have been not to act like a tough guy after a routine loose ball foul. Then he wouldn't have had to back down.

It's not exactly the same thing, but the scourge of the NFL back in the early 1960's was defensive lineman Big Daddy Lipscomb of the Baltimore Colts. The accepted practice for offensive linemen trying to block him was to tell Big Daddy between plays that he was the greatest football player who ever lived. it was obviously an attempt to lull him into a sense of complacency.

With a volcanic character like MWP, I think efforts to placate him make a lot of sense. Besides, fisticuffs would get Tyler suspended (or killed).

He has to be; otherwise he would forget to breathe and would've been dead a long time ago.

We gotta keep our minds working until the season starts and we can really jump into questioning K's substitution patterns and his unwillingness to cast a wide recruiting net, not to mention all the times we might win games while getting out-rebounded.

The thread didn't call anyone stupid. It asked if he's "smarter than he looks" because he backed down to MWP.

If anything, we're just saying he LOOKS dumb.

Copy. I enjoy the considerable wit available within this community - but not so much, when offered at someone's expense. We are who we are - even when anonymous.
