First off, hat tip to @Jubanator14 for the inspiration. Salute to you sir.
Secondly, it's possible I'm going to be raging against the Dwight Howard machine repeatedly until he's on a new team. So, anytime I feel like poking fun at him, I will.
Thirdly... #GOTDAMNDOGDIDYOUSEERUDYDUNKONDWIGHTSNECK?
Yes, the United States won the game in the 2008 Olympics in Beijing. Yes, that was Kobe Bryant that got shook at the three-point line. Yes, that was Kobe looking at Dwight like it was Dwight's fault for allowing Rudy to have a semi-clear path to the lane. Yes, that was Dwight getting a neck full of YUUUUUUUUULE from Rudy in all his Spanish slamming glory.
I'd really feel sorry for Dwight, but I'm taking Kobe's side on this. Maybe if you had a spine four years ago, you would've fouled Rudy into oblivion and taken him to the ground like a true American, thus making your decision-making process so much easier when it comes to picking a team to play for. Instead, you hesitated, waffled and ultimately got a neck full of YUUUUUULE for your troubles.
Good luck in the 2012-13 season, buddy. Here's your pertinent reading material for Friday, enjoy the weekend everybody!
