This sportswriter probably went to a nice school and spent a lot of money on a journalism degree. Then worked hard and got a job writing for a reputable sports publication. Then had to write this:

quote:

---

Belinelli received the sanction for his celebration of a fourth-quarter three-pointer that put the Bulls up by 10 points with just under five minutes remaining. After knocking down the shot, Belinelli backpedaled while positioning both of his hands below his waistline, as if to demonstrate the large size of his genitalia. The celebration was popularized by Wizards assistant coach and former NBA player Sam Cassell and is generally referred to as the “Big Balls Dance.”

It's so dumb to see people do that when they're up by multiple possessions. It'd be dumb regardless of the situation, but it's especially stupid when you had nothing to lose before the shot. At least make a shot with the game in the balance before you toot your own horn.

And that wasn't even bad. Kobe's were much more animated. Did he ever get fined for it?

I always thought that was just for people with little man syndrome. If you have to remind people you have something, it probably isn't very memorable. Is he afraid people will think he made the shot because of his natural athletic talent combined with skill from years of practice?

Announcer "Look at that shot, his skill... wait a minute, it appears he made the shot because of grossly enlarged testicles. Hopefully he will seek medical attention, but not before the end of the series."

What's worse is the journalist didn't even do his research on the origin of the dance

Probably from Major League back in 89. Just a joke.
