I like to credit where I can and I'd appreciate that if you reblog anything to keep the credit when it is present. It doesn't mean that you have to keep my username on there but just the original source. Thank you. :)
This giant man sitting in his tiny chair is having a tea party with adorable little girls while a picture hangs on the pink patterned wall of the giant man holding an adorable little boy who is holding a basketball. It is so good. It is. much. too much.
But then you see this photo of Rudy Gay doing cookie crafts with kids in chef hats and you realize that there can never be too much. Too much does not exist. Certainly not at a tea party.
Never forget.“I want to personally congratulate Kobe on being the greatest Laker ever. His accomplishment is great and well deserved, and I’m really proud of him. He told me when he was 18 years old that he’d go down as the greatest Laker ever, and one of the greatest players of all time. And he wasn’t lying.
I’m a little jealous of him because I was never able to escape the injury bug in my career, while he’s never really been injured at all. But all of that is a testament to his hard work and dedication. I’m proud of him. I’m happy for him. And, most of all, I want to thank him for being a part of the greatest 1-2 punch ever created, never to be duplicated.”
-Shaquille O’Neal
Hearing statements like this just makes me wish they could’ve worked it out for a few more years.

Hahaha at Trevor’s announcement.WILL FERRELL, BASKETBALL ANNOUNCER
The Hornets had Will Ferrell do the player announcements tonight before their game with the Chicago Bulls, and I predict this type of thing is going to start happening at other arenas.
“At guard, #1, his favorite movie’s The Notebook…Derrick Rose.”
UGH“If I had my choice, Lamar would be a Laker for life.”
- Derek Fisher
Lamar comes home, tonight.
Ugh, that last photo is a favorite.BREAKING: Lamar Odom has been traded to the Dallas Mavericks. [details]
So long, L.O. You were one of my favorite Lakers of All-Time. Sad to see you leave.
“I was proud to be a Laker.” :( Such a shitty situation to be in.“I guess that means I’m a Laker if the trade didn’t go through. I don’t know what to do for the Lakers. I’m even weirded out by the league doing what they did. I don’t know what to do.
Imagine how Pau [Gasol] feels. Pau came to the Lakers and played here for four years, went to the Finals and lost, won two NBA championships and then got swept [by the Dallas Mavericks this year]. Wow! Imagine how he must feel.
Man, I’m just in total disbelief about all of this. They don’t want my services, for whatever reason. I don’t know what I’m supposed to do. I was proud to be a Laker, so I’ll try to help them in the process as much as possible.”
