She's always performing at big games. Seriously, watch a nationally televised NBA game, and there's like a 50/50 shot she'll be the halftime performer.


I'm definitely not watching halftime of any sporting event.

Mbah a Moute deserves some legit consideration for DPOTY this year. Rockets are 11.8 points per 100 worse on defense when he's off the court vs. on. For a perimeter defender, that's unbelievable.

Red Panda is great. I expect a 30/30 on this travesty.

Red Panda used to do two or three badger basketball games a year. For like 15 years.

Red Panda has gotten soft, she was like 70% successful last time and had to keep retrying. I mean, don't get me wrong, that might be 35% higher than anyone else that sits on a unicycle and launches bowls on her head, but a young red panda puts this one to shame.

Pretty sure she took several years off and only got busy again 3ish years ago. I think it was some family health problems or something. But yea she's exited her prime. Saw her I think twice last season and she dropped each time, I think twice in one of them. The previous like 8 times I saw here I saw her miss once. I still remember the first time around 04 at a UW game, complete standing ovation as loud as I've ever heard there. I'd guess it might have been her first time at UW based on how in awe the crowd was. I couldn't believe it

Nah. I just don't find players playing 46 minutes in a game necessary. Like at all.

Huh. I've probably seen her at least 5 times and have never once seen her drop a bowl. It's a weird act but actually pretty damn impressive.

He's been great, but he's also missed 15 games and doesn't play 30mpg. He's got a shot at 1st team if he stays healthy, a ton of contenders for Defense teams have missed lots of time or are done (Roberson). Giannis is damn near a shoo-in.

Horford seems like the odds-on favorite for DPOY.

Yeah. You talking about the Golden St game?

I booed her ass silly.

Could you imagine the thief's disappointment?

Probably thinks they've hit the jackpot with a massive package only to open it and discover a 30 year old 7 foot unicycle.

Unlucky for all.

Let's not ignore 36.5% from 3 on three attempts a game either.

I would have cried if he was doing that here back in the day.

Man that's a bummer about Red Panda.

That being said, anyone want to buy a 7-foot unicycle? It was my grandma's.

Does Red Panda have more Trade Value than Blake Griffin?
