This is What Amar'e Stoudemire Wore to a Fashion Show


I know that this is probably high, high fashion that I don't understand, but it really just looks like clothes that a toddler (the white onesy) would put together had he stumbled into both parents closets (mom's furry scarf, dad's gold chain), and decided to dress himself.  So don't know if there is still a debate in the Knicks locker room on who is the worst clothes-wearer, but I'll wait to see if any pictures leak of Iman Shumpert in another kilt or maybe Tyson Chandler in matching leather vest and capris, before I give the award to the outfit pictured above or what I'm calling the "Amar'e as a Bab'y".

Highlight: James Johnson's Reverse and Mike Miller's Impressed Face

Haven't seen one of these reverse jams look as effortless as James Johnson made it look tonight against the Wizards.  Maybe that's why Mike Miller gave Johnson a high fiver and then followed it up with the ole "im so incredulous" shrug.

Pretty neat feat that James Johnson was able to impress Miller because Miller is kind of the "Mr. Seen-it-all" for players making incredible moves within the last decade.  Remember, Miller started his career playing with the in-his-prime T-Mac in Orlando.  Then Miller played with fanciest schmaniest of  passers, Jason Williams on the Grizzlies.  More recently, he was a role player on the Heat next to Dwyane Wade and Lebron James; two guys known to make other world-type basketball shots pretty regularly.

All of that just to say that tonight James Johnson basically achieved the equivalent of "impressing Mikaela Maroney ('12 Summer Olympic Gymnast)" or if you want to be more relevant, "impressed Ashley Wagner ('13 Winter Olympic skater)".



Shoulda made a gif of a pleased Mike Miller face, you say?  Yeah, probably.

Kevin Seraphin Playing Flappy Birds

Sometimes the star of the video introduces it better than I ever could.



Good to see that if this NBA Power Forward/Center thing doesn't work out, Seraphin would make for a pretty good video game voice-over guy.  Or maybe even a Ronnie Brewer doppleganger.  Lots of options, you lucky guy.

*for audio, go to the top right of the video and click the "speaker".

The Kings Hang Out At Some DC Monuments

So I guess when you have a matinee game in D.C. on a Sunday and you don't play again until Tuesday night-a mere 6 hours away (Cleveland), the most logical thing is to go check out an American historical monument.  Makes sense and very appropriate considering Monday is president's day.

First, Quincy Acy throwing up deuces with his bearded forefather



Then Demarcus Cousins, Derrick Williams and Acy (again with the two fingers) take one of those candid self shots.


A slight haha to Demarcus calling the sixteenth president "AB" in his instagram caption

and then of course the best for last, Carl Landry throwing up the double hitch-hiker thumbs next to the Washington Monument.



Shoutout to the Kings for reminding us of the upcoming holiday and also reminding us that grown men in sweatshirts and sweatpants can still look hilarious posing next to famous monuments.
