Nice work, OP.


To be fair, I think most of it came from reddit.

I didn't replace my constant velocity joint for 500 miles after the dashboard warning light turned on in a cold weather climate because I stay grinding.

He could always, you know, turn the mirror the other way.

This reminds me of a couple other absurd things NBA players have done to show that they have "Chips on their shoulders" or have to prove something to someone else or prove them wrong.

-Gilbert Arenas wearing number 0 because that's supposedly the number of minutes he was told he would play for Arizona.

-Jerome James wearing a garbage bag for a cape during an interview after the Sonics beat the Kings in the 2005 playoffs because supposedly Rick Adelman gave him a garbage bag to clean out his locker after the Kings cut him from the team a few years before. FWIW, Adelman says that is a false story and James was given 2 equipment bags.

DeRozan as a #1 option is something I find slightly more stupid.

Although I don't find it nearly as stupid, it's definitely not ideal :lol:

This just in Jimmy Butler has been arrested by Chicago PD for failing to yield the road to an emergency vehicle

I am immediately wary of the path he has chosen. This sounds like something that happens right before *insert past crazy nba player* goes off the rails taking his entire team with him.

Be aware Bulls fans. This could be the beginning of an unravel.

I guess he doesn't put his car in reserve as a reminder to never back out.

One does not need a rear-view mirror in Illinois as long as he can see 200' behind him. He can use the side mirrors. NBD.
