ESPN Can Take Some Purdy Lookin' Pictures

After each game of the NBA playoffs, I usually browse through the various photos taken during the nights contest to see if there is any good material I can use for ridicule. Usually the first site I go to is SI.com because their photos are updated rather quickly. However, after browsing through their gallery, I didn’t really find much I could use. ESPN is also a good site, but for some reason, their photos aren’t uploaded as quickly. Maybe it’s slower because the web master was busy trying to bat away Chris Berman’s advances (assuming that the web master is female….or not). However, after a few hours the photos were up, and to my surprise, ESPN takes some pretty amusing pictures. Then again, with an arena filled with celebrities, it’s practically a paparrazi’s wet dream. Let’s take a look at a few of them:

I posted this picture of Gasol yesterday. I stated it looked like he had Captain Howdy stuck up his ass. Upon further review, perhaps he was just gerbilling. Don’t know what that is? Look it up on Urban Dictionary. Then prepare to vomit. (By the way, I only learned of gerbilling from watching South Park, so calm down before you start going Chris Hansen all over my ass).

Here Gasol has his hand to his chest. This lets you know he is pumped up! Yet he still looks like he’s constipated out of his mind. Maybe he just ate a lot of bananas before the game?

Ahhh, so many jokes one can make with this photo. My joke: Kobe was just making sure the ref wasn’t wearing a mic that was giving directions to him from the mafia. Gotta make sure those calls are legit after all!

Who’s that foxy lady next to Jack? Is it a hot date? Maybe it’s just his daughter’s friend? Actually, it’s probably both. And Donald Sutherland kind of seems like he has no idea where he is right now. He actually looks like those stereotypical old, wise blind men that seem to pop up in dramatic movies. Or perhaps he's just drunk out of his mind. Makes sense! Like father like son! (Remember folks, Jack Bauer is just a fictional character, thus I do not fear the repercussions of making fun of Keifer Sutherland, since Jack can't touch me. Then again, I probably should fear the repercussions of Keifer Sutherland himself, which I imagine are far more demented than Jack Bauer's ways).

This is Jordan Farmer doing his best Kyle Korver impression. Observe (Photo via Lions in Oil):


What’s Spike Lee doing here? I thought he was a Knicks fan. My guess, he’s probably here to accuse someone of being racist. No confirmation yet if Clint Eastwood was in attendance.

I know Rajon Rondo’s ankle got banged up during the game but um………..sexy?

I have no idea why ESPN took this photo.
