Sometimes it’s reassuring to watch a 6-foot-11, first-round draft pick power forward with ten years of experience get hit in the face with a basketball because he isn’t paying attention.

My favorite part is either the announce team being one second away from laughingly calling him a motherf**ker or Chase Budinger showing the hustle of a tree sloth on defense. Who am I kidding, my favorite part is when he gets hit in the face with a basketball.

Who does that?

Better make that a large coffee, Alice. I've got a long day of goofs and gags ahead of me, and I need to look sharp. Can't afford to get Murphy'd out there.
Anyone who's played sports badly has been told at some point by some coach or other that you need to "keep your head on a swivel out there." In this case, Troy Murphy needed to "keep his head pointed...

Basketballs take so much abuse. They are constantly being pounded into the ground, clanged off rims and backboards, and smacked, punched, and kicked in frustration.

And then on Troy Murphy of the Los Angeles Lakers
