Create A Caption #19

by erivera7 on Jun 21, 2009 11:00 AM EDT in Diversions Comment 28 comments

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!

Lewis: How much can I pay you to keep these guys from leaving the team?

Hedo & Gortat: What do you mean we can’t go into free agency! We want Rashard money!

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?
