Create A Caption #19

by erivera7 on Jun 21, 2009 11:00 AM EDT in Diversions

With the stark reality that Marcin Gortat's time with the Orlando Magic is likely coming to an end, I think it's proper that we have a create a caption competition in honor of the Polish Hammer.

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!

But the league soon discovered that method reenacting with an invisible ball how LeBron barreled into the lane against 3 players instead of using video reviews was not an adequate way to cut costs and improve officiating

More traditional bonus caption out of competition:

Ref: Sorry guys, but those Most Valuable Puppets spots are lame. Kobe is the best player. He just is.
All 3: No way! Can’t you see how easy LeBron scores on us?
