Create A Caption #30: Round 1

PrintMy colleague Ben requested this pic for the next create a caption competition and quite frankly, I can't blame him because it has potential to spawn some interesting submissions. Former NBA Finals foes, Dwight Howard of the Magic and Derek Fisher of the Lakers, sit down to enjoy a Los Angeles Sparks playoff game on Wednesday.
But something is awry, as Howard is on the phone with someone. Who?
This is where you come in.
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 four days, so whichever caption/comment gets the most recommendations, wins. In case of a tie, I'll determine the winner. [NEW]
- There will be two rounds in the competition. In the first round (Friday/Saturday), submissions are made and votes are tallied. At the end of the second day, the submissions that garnered four or more "recs/votes" will advance. In the final round (Sunday/Monday), votes are tallied for the eligible submissions. [NEW]
- Winner will be announced Monday afternoon or evening. [NEW]
- The contest is subject to change.
Let the contest begin!

Okay, let me get this straight Jameer. You want me to put my hand in his face, right?

OK I'm just a tad disturbed
that he’s hanging out with Fish in LA. If he ever leaves for LA I might not be allowed near sharp objects for a while.
Dwight to JJ: "Watching this is even worse than watching you play."

Thinking of a caption...
but before I do, I honestly looked at that picture and the caption that immediatly popped in my mind was "Derek Fisher and Dwight Howard go to a WNBA game (Only because they looked bored and there was nobody in the seats). I read the rest of the post and the joke that was the WNBA was confirmed.
"I have come that you may have life, and life to the max"
Jameer Nelson: "Dwight, can you hear me now?"
Dwight: “Of Course, I’m at a WNBA game.”

Dwight: Hey Mr. Stern, What are the guide lines for us tweeting at a WNBA game?
Fisher: Dwight, you are going to get us in trouble for calling Stern this late!!

Jameer: Hey Dwight, why are you wispering?
Dwight: Because this kid sitting behind me has been “hearing” everything Fisher and I have been talking about. He keeps telling the two girls what we are saying and they are “tweeting everyone”!!!
Fisher: Man I hope he wasn’t able to hear what I said about Jameer!!!!!
Dwight: “Seriously, JJ, I’m telling you, wear a wig, keep going with your skin care regime and you’ve got a shot at playing for the Sparks … Look at this way: minutes is minutes man. You don’t have the skills to be proud right now”
Fisher: “Man, I reckon the Lakers can do the same for Sasha Vujacic. He’s at least got a girl’s name!”

D12 talking to his dentist

-Fisher(oh,dude,what a idea! I’ll start pretending that I have the mother of all headaches right now!)
Dwight: “C’mon, Mom, I know it’s wrong to choke a person, but he won’t stop gloating!!”
