Create A Caption #17

by erivera7 on Jun 10, 2009 4:00 PM EDT in Diversions

As expected, last night's game between the Orlando Magic and the Los Angeles Lakers was a star-studded affair, not only on the court but off the court, too. Just a quick list of famous people that showed up to the O-Rena - Chris Brown, Ludacris, Spike Lee, Steve Nash, Tiger Woods, and a bevy of other individuals.

But I wanted to point out one person from the crowd, which was Mike Krzyzewski, the head coach of Duke University and the 2006 & 2008 United States men's basketball team.

Why was he at the game?

To root on J.J. Redick, who played for Coach K at Duke. Likewise, one can surmise he was in attendance to also support Kobe Bryant and Dwight Howard, two players that were a part of the Redeem Team in the Beijing Olympics this past summer.

In any case, let's have some fun today.

What words of wisdom is Krzyzewski imparting on Redick?

Rules:

I'm sure everyone here is familiar with a "create a caption" competition, but in case someone here doesn't know what this type of contest is ... basically a picture is provided and you, the reader, attempt to come up with a quick sentence describing what's occurring in the photo. The line can be funny, stupid, witty, etc.

I'll be a judge but I like to have another collective voice determining the winner, that way there's a bit of a consensus among the community. What I prefer for everyone here to do is this ... if you like the caption a fellow member has come up with, "recommend" it. That will be 'your vote', in essence. If you don't know how to "recommend" a comment, go to the comment you like, click on 'actions', then click on 'rec'. You can "recommend" multiple captions/comments, if you want.

So for a quick recap.

- Write a quick sentence describing what's occurring in the photo.

- If you like a caption/comment that's been written, "recommend" it.

- After you "recommend" a caption/comment, write something (like +1, for example) to indicate you like the sentence a 3QC member has written.

- The contest will last 24 hours, so whichever caption/comment gets the most recommendations, wins. In case of a tie, I'll determine the winner.

Let the contest begin!

Coach K: I'd love to have you back JJ, but you're no longer eligible to play college ball since you got drafted.

JJ: You’ve really upset me…I’m going to write a poem about this tonight.

Actually JJ wrote all sorts of poetry while he was at Duke

Needless to say, it was more ammo for all his haters in college.

My post further down references a line directly from his poetry...

Coach K: Trust me JJ, I've been doing this for years. Pomade works way better than the hair gel you've been using during games.

Romatic

Coach K: JJ, Ever since I set my eyes on you I have been in love with you, when you commited to my team at Duke I knew you loved me too, but when you left I was heartbroken, I am here today to tell you that I still love you.

JJ: Coach, the only reason I ever left for the NBA is because I thought you didnt love me back.
(coach K procedes to grab JJ with his hands and they kiss)

by FutureViking43 on Jun 10, 2009 5:23 PM EDT reply actions

Coach K: You're inevitably going to get called for a foul everytime you guard Kobe, so you might as well go for the gusto by grabbing his balls with both hands like this and hanging on for dear life.

JJ: See, that’s the kind of advice I’ve been waiting for. Stan Van doesn’t know how much experience I have as a ball-grabber like you do, thanks Coach.

Coach K: Soooo... what are you're thoughts on Tyler Hansborough breaking all you're records in the ACC?

JJ: (In tears) Coach I told you to stop asking me about that!
Coach K: Are those scars on your shooting hand?
JJ: Ohh, I punched a hole in my wall watching the NCAA Championship this year.
Coach K: (under his breath) psycho
JJ: What?
Coach K: Oh, nothing. Good talk JJ.

Coach K: I've got a stack of Better Basketball DVD's this high in the trunk of my car, what should I do with them?

JJ: Oh, do you need me to sign them?

Coach K: Hell no, these people want their money back!! Benchwarming is not a skill that requires a DVD.

Coach: Just some advice son. If this basketball thing doesn’t work out, you could always be a quarterback. The Packers are fielding players as we speak.

JJ: How big is a football?

Coach: Oh about this big.

Coach K: Hey boy, those t-shirts on the seats there need straightening up. That’s jus- Oh, it’s you, JJ. I didn’t recognise you standing up and in something resembling game uniform.

K: Look I know your shot has been off lately, and I wouldn’t usually condone this but….. I think it’s time you started going Chris Paul and punching people in the nuts.
JJ: I can’t see what my future has in store, but I move forth with the strength of a condor….
