DeAndre Jordan: The human 'Whose Line Is It, Anyway?'
One of the world's most gregarious Aggies has returned to form since his exclusion from the NBA All-Star Game, posting 26 points and 18 rebounds in a defeat of the Spurs, following it up with an 11-point, 15-board effort against Sacramento and throwing up 17 rebounds and two blocks to go along with nine points vs. Memphis on Monday.
Of course, the greatest of DeAndre Jordan's exploits to come out of the past week or so were actually his poignant column in Medium reconciling the snub and his comments after the Spurs win about his newfound fame.
"My grandma gave me a big, tall Coca-Cola when I was at home," he was quoted as saying. "That was about it. She said, 'You're playing great. Take this Coke.' I was like, 'All right. Cool.' It was hot though. It wasn't a fridge Coke; it was a in-the-cabinet Coke. That's about it."
Yeah, the All-Star news cast a new spotlight on Jordan. But does there ever really need to be a reason to celebrate some of his best moments?
We're gonna do it anyway.
There are, of course, the classics.
The time he famously left a chalk outline of what was once Brandon Knight:

That reaction, again:
The time Blake Griffin had to settle his beef with American Airlines:
Funny enough, the Clippers and American Airlines just last Friday announced a new multi-year partnership. Unsure whether DeAndre was consulted.
The time he highlighted Jimmy Kimmel’s “Celebrities Read Mean Tweets”:

When Griffin rated one of his dunks a mere 7.5:
When he was bumpin to Tupac and an interview broke out:
" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" width="560">
Yeah, we, yeah. Alright.
BUT WAIT, THERE’S MORE! Like his Vine adventures with Bruce:
His bromance with Griffin:
And other casual activities:

But then there’s just more of this.
" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" width="560">
Seriously, how many bodies has he buried in the Staples Center?

So, for being the answer to “things you would do if life were just one big game,” gig ‘em, DJ.

@deandrejordan you can't bash an airline just because they won't let you fly the plane, it's a safety thing, we've talked about this.
