Gaze vs Steve Blake Feud

They do, but the USA version is basically what our Mars bar is

they have milkyways in the US?

Not being Reddit addict = total bozo

Don't be put off, Ben. Keep up your good work.

Ben I got the reference. Not surprised most of the bozos here didn't. Nice one.

Super not serious, just copypasta from an ongoing reddit schtick whenever Steve Blake is mentioned. Makes me laugh every time.

I'm not sure whether Ben is an idiot or a genius

Online spambots are getting quite sophisticated these days aren't they.

I saw Steve Blake at a grocery store in Los Angeles yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything. He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?” I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying. The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter. When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.

Gaze forced Blake to be Penny Hardaway while he was Shaq on NBA Jam. Blake never got over it

Has Steve ever dunked it that one time over someone like Gaze did?

Who cares Blake was terrible, adios.

How dare he

From Bill Simmons' mailbag:

Q: You wrote that we'll remember Dwayne Wade forever as an evil genius who somehow convinced his biggest archrival to move to HIS city, play for HIS team, and become HIS sidekick. I think that this analysis is but the tip of the iceberg — he also rigged it so that LeBron became the scapegoat if Wade's genius plan managed to fail while simultaneously remaining a great and lovable player. Check. Mate. The only guy who could have planned something this complex from the beginning is Keyser Soze. I don't know whether realizing this and understanding who the real bad guy is makes me REALLY, REALLY hate Dwyane Wade or that I simply need to tip my cap to him and say, "Well played, sir."
