I felt that this monumental event was worthy of its own thread :biggrin:
What were you doing when this historical event happened?
I was on the couch wayching on one of Spectre's feeds (I credit him with all feeds). The shot was pretty smooth. I was pretty sure it was Gana when we received the ball, but had do do a triple-take when that shot went up and in so effortlessly. I almost choked on Christmas leftovers.
It was around 9 A.M and I was in my chair. I was watching, very disappointed at his first fadeaway jumper which missed. Then he took it from like 15 feet out and swish. I was like 'OHHHHHH' and jumped out of my chair, almost breaking my laptop from how fast I rose to my feet.
You realise he hit 2! I was watching the game at 2am, then out of nowhere comes this fade away jumper from Diop. To be fair Gana was balling last night
I was sneaking glances of the box score from my phone when suddenly my phone exploded with text messages and ESPN notices reading, "Gana Diop hit a jumpshot!"
Honestly, I'm surprised it wasn't the top headline on ESPN.com last night.
Tease him all you want but he ran the floor defending a 3 on 1 break and PUNKED them. It was a good night for the big man.
I was the guy standing in section 206 yelling "NOOOOOOO!" and then ate my words when it hit nothin' but net! Not a bad game for Diop -- still bad for his contract -- but you've got to believe they are going to showcase him more for a trade. More nights like that from him and I won't be complaining!
he deserves a little tease for his previous play here... but dammit if you aren't right about him playing his ass off last night. If a guy gives me the effort he gave last night, he would make it awful hard to make fun of him. That jumper was nothing but the bottom of the cup too. pretty smooth, like Charlie V's face.Quote:
