Pop-a-Shot Legend is a Busboy

All, NBA, Random, Video Jason McIntyre January 6th. 2011, 4:25pm

Are you a fan of Pop-a-Shot? This video’s from last summer, but Chris Ballard just wrote this fantastic piece for SI on the “sport”: “For TV producers, Reyes is the American dream: writ small, an immigrant and common man who comes on in a busboy’s apron and quietly humbles NBA stars. Of course it also helps that watching him shoot is akin to seeing a mini-basketball-flinging cyborg sent from the future.” [SI]

In the amount of time he’s spent perfecting pop a shot, he could’ve gone back to school to get a degree and get a higher paying job.

Kobe has further increased his status as the GOAT. Jordan could never do this.

Reyes would have had complete victory if he had turned to Kobe and yelled: “HOW DO YOU LIKE IT IN THE ASS WITHOUT PERMISSION BITCH?!”

You dont even understand the weak guys Jordan was playing pop-a-shot against, dishwashers and cleaning crew. No one near as good as a bus boy.

We’re all clowning on CursedCleveland, who believes Kobe>Jordan because MJ played against midgets, or something.

Dumars would shake the machine every time he tried to shoot. No one ever called it.

There’s a fine line between revolutionary and quack. Let’s see if this ‘+ This’ catches on.

Good one Coop, you’ve redeemed yourself after your terrible Lions comments.

Anyone ever hear a girl call her vagina a “cookie”? Might be a New Jersey/mid-Atlantic thing.

I think I’ve heard guys reference it as a cookie more often than girls.

fetch…dude, i hate to say it, but im in total agreement with cowherd on this. hall of fame, not hall of numbers.
i know it’s stupid to think that way and i know it’s somewhat out of character and that i do agree with you in principle about the use of statistics to place a value on a player’s worth, but at the same time that kind of rationale, while completely unbiased and objective, allows guys like palmeiro and molitor in.
if you look at their career through that lens, im sure they shine like nobody’s business, but i remember watching both of those guys a lot and knowing they were great because i memorized the back of their baseball cards, but they weren’t exciting/charismatic/whatever you want to call it enough to make you want to tune in*.
*and in poz sidebar fashion…even though you scoff at the notion of clutch, i think there’s something to it. i remember palmeiro being a pussball in the playoffs twice against the tribe. i ethically can’t support a dude who didn’t nut up when it mattered get into the HOF next to bob gibson.
i don’t care if it makes me sound like an idiot because i am completely biased. i fucking hate rafael palmeiro. i fucking hate paul molitor and tony gwynn and kevin brown. it’s just opinion anyways, and im not saying you’re wrong necessarily, just that i think your method allows too many schmucks in, that’s all.

Was he one of the Busboys in Eddie Murphy RAW?
The great thing about “cookie” being a euphamism for vag is that it is the name of Magic Johnson’s wife.
Magic Johnson.
Cookie Johnson.
