DeShawn Stevenson’s T-Shirt: ‘Hey LeBron! How’s My Dirk Taste’
All, LeBron James, NBA June 13th. 2011, 1:29pm
DeShawn Stevenson finally delivered payback to LeBron James last night – he wore this t-shirt in South Beach after the Mavericks won the title by beating the Heat. I’m assuming the creator of this t-shirt likes money, so it would be wise to begin selling them in downtown Cleveland RIGHT NOW. Hell, I might even order one online.
[via TMZ]
[UPDATE: Here, via SI's Hot Clicks, is another view of Stevenson's shirt. As many noted, the HDNet logo on the bottom means that Mark Cuban is very likely behind this.]

Stevenson is an ego-maniacal turd bag who wishes he was half as good as he thinks he is, but that shirt is priceless.
June 13th, 2011 at 1:32 PM
AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!
June 13th, 2011 at 1:33 PM
Wonderful!
June 13th, 2011 at 1:33 PM
Are those advertisements at the bottom of that shirt?
June 13th, 2011 at 1:33 PM
He’s my new favorite player. Absolutely hilarious to watch.
June 13th, 2011 at 1:35 PM
So that shirt is sponsered by HDNet, Cuban’s (old?)company?
June 13th, 2011 at 1:35 PM
HDNet. A Mark Cuban joint.
June 13th, 2011 at 1:36 PM
Nick Anderson’s duckwalk is oh so jealous of DeShawn.
June 13th, 2011 at 1:37 PM
Awesome shirt…if you actually are Dirk.
June 13th, 2011 at 1:37 PM
HAHAHHAHAH
June 13th, 2011 at 1:41 PM
HD Net is Mark Cuban’s network
June 13th, 2011 at 1:43 PM
Hey anybody that has DirecTV can you tell me if On Demand is an extra service or should it be included?
June 13th, 2011 at 1:44 PM
Any avid fisherman in here? I’m trying to find a certain kind of crankbait (at least I think it’s crankbait) for my dad for father’s day. We saw it this weekend on a fishing show… Basically it sat higher up in the water and it made a fairly wide zig zag through the top. I think it’s used mostly in the fall when the fish come up to the warmer water depths.
June 13th, 2011 at 1:45 PM
Labron’s* pic on ESPN.com right now is hilarious
*not a typo, changed his name from the french masculine ‘le’ to the feminine ‘la’ , trying it out.
June 13th, 2011 at 1:45 PM
Dammit. Dirk is a hipster.
June 13th, 2011 at 1:46 PM
If you took french in highschool I hope you get stabbed at a taco stand at 2 in the morning.

June 13th, 2011 at 1:47 PM
How could Drew Rosenhaus sign Pryor? That guy is the toolest bag that ever tooled, ashamed he went to the U.
June 13th, 2011 at 1:47 PM
Dammit. Dirk is a hipster.
Fucking hipsters.
June 13th, 2011 at 1:49 PM
Stevenson calling the Heat classless (on ESPN) is double awesome. He’s one of the few people in the league who’s been openly talking shit to Lebron and calls him ovverated. Love it.
June 13th, 2011 at 1:50 PM
I am more intrigued by Cuban saying he might not do championship rings, but something different altogether.
June 13th, 2011 at 1:50 PM
I mean I grew up in Maine so it made sense back then. Now that I live in an area with millions of Hispanics, not so much.
June 13th, 2011 at 1:51 PM
If it was a top water bait, it could be a jitterbug or some sort of frog. What kind of depth did it dive at? Color scheme, bill type, and hook placement?
June 13th, 2011 at 1:53 PM
Liked it.
June 13th, 2011 at 1:54 PM
It had a minnow shape to it. It was silver and the depth of the bait wasn’t more than a foot or two. I’m not sure about the hook placement.
I think I may just look for something different all together. Any suggestions for good lures in muddy water? My dad mostly fishes small mouth and pike.
June 13th, 2011 at 1:55 PM
i’m looking into getting DirecTV myself, and as i understand it they don’t have OnDemand, but their own service called DirecTV cinema. I think it’s included in your monthly costs, just need internet hookup for it.
June 13th, 2011 at 1:55 PM
Freaking awesome.
By the way, just got back from a week in Disney World with the wifey. Man, people are fat.
June 13th, 2011 at 1:55 PM
Absolutely classic! Nobody is comparing talent, but at the end of the day Stevenson is an NBA player that showed CONFIDENCE, and was willing to step up and hit big shots. Clearly an attribute LeBron did not exude. I’ve never seen a bigger talent shy away from the ball — and not want to take a clutch shot. LeBron attempted a jumper at the 6:33 mark in the 4th quarter. His next attempt…1:51 when they were down 12 and the game was over. The most crucial 5 minutes of the season and “The best player on the planet” doesn’t take a shot?

What a douche.
June 13th, 2011 at 1:58 PM
Good lord. I’m reading some of the comments on the Bass Pro Shop website under different lures. I doubt half these people graduated high school. The misspellings are staggering.
June 13th, 2011 at 1:58 PM
I told everyone that Deshawn was the MVP of this series. What a hero! Abe Lincoln approves.
June 13th, 2011 at 2:00 PM
This is correct.
You should see some of the looks I get when I tell people that in some parts of Manchester, NH, they offer menus in French.
June 13th, 2011 at 2:00 PM
Stevenson seems like the kind of person who in real life you would want to punch out after spending 10 mins with him but man is that shirt just GREAT
June 13th, 2011 at 2:00 PM

Did you eat a turkey leg?
June 13th, 2011 at 2:00 PM
Chances are it’s a Rapala; it could be any number of imitators, but you’ll want a Rapala. Look for the shallow lip on any crankbait (shallower the lip, the less it dives) and, usually, you can spot the phrase “topwater” on the packaging.
The segmented Rapala topwater is one of the best lures ever made.
June 13th, 2011 at 2:01 PM
No, I was turned off by the people who were eating them though. We made reservations for lunch and dinner most days.
June 13th, 2011 at 2:02 PM
SG
If you got an ebay account. This is a pretty good seller who stellar lots.
June 13th, 2011 at 2:03 PM

I havent been for a few years, but the clientele cuts a wide swath of America (and a ton of foreigners) and it does open your eyes to how overweight this country is.
June 13th, 2011 at 2:04 PM
Deshawn is an idiot who happened to find a niche of being a jackass to someone whom everyone hates. I’m enjoying it, but I admit that he would be heavily criticised (probably by me) if he did this to anyone else.
Then again, I want the league to allow taunting again so we can get another chance at the Shawn Kemp double point at the defender he just ducked on.
June 13th, 2011 at 2:05 PM
Watching people walk around Disneyland/World with those turkey legs is one of the strangest things – turned me off as well.
June 13th, 2011 at 2:05 PM
Dunked…freaking phone auto correct
June 13th, 2011 at 2:05 PM

The fantastically named “Lister Blister” — one of the best taunts in sports history. That and Scottie Pippen walking over Patrick Ewing were two of the most disrespectful (in a good way) plays in NBA history.
June 13th, 2011 at 2:06 PM
Thanks! I was just looking at the options under that brand.
June 13th, 2011 at 2:06 PM
Try going to the mall and you’ll see the same thing. We seriously live in a country of disgustingly overweight people. I’m not talking about a few extra pounds either. These are the people that Pizza Street and Ponderosa are made for.
(Fuck buffets. The food there is always awful)
June 13th, 2011 at 2:06 PM
That epidemic has spread. The British were a few years behind but I could spot their pasty fat asses, horrible tattoos, even amongst the Americans sporting the same.
June 13th, 2011 at 2:07 PM
Yeah, I’d probably hate Stevenson otherwise, but this is all sorts of awesome.
June 13th, 2011 at 2:07 PM
Nothing better than the turkey legs at Taste of Chicago.
/ usually doesn’t actually get one
// they look and smell terrific on the grill though
Anyone ever grilled turkey legs at home?
June 13th, 2011 at 2:08 PM
Plus at Disney now, they use their obesity as a handicap. They ride around in scooters and wheelchairs and cut to the front of lines. And they don’t move out of the way at all because they are also completely self absorbed. No idea they are part of the problem.
June 13th, 2011 at 2:10 PM
Tell me about it. Story on the news recently- I live in the FIFTH most obese metropolitan area in the USA. I seriously feel like a freak sometimes for being thin. One thing fat people love to do- try to make you feel bad for not being as gluttonous as they are “Why wont you have another piece of cake, come on, you can afford it!”
June 13th, 2011 at 2:11 PM
agreed. I rarely fish with crankbaits but I’ve got a couple of those that are fail safe.
June 13th, 2011 at 2:12 PM
I’ve got DTV and I’ve got a bunch of On Demand channels. ABC, E, Nat Geo, TNT, TBS, others.
June 13th, 2011 at 2:12 PM
This is very true. The Europeans have always been more fit, but the British (especially) are fast catching up to theUS in terms of obesity. It’s not surprising given the type of food they eat (and the binge beer drinking).
June 13th, 2011 at 2:13 PM
awesome. just awesome.

This is a favorite of the 30-something ladies in my office that have put on a few pounds and have given up any hope of working them off. I turn down their home-made cupcakes and it’s like threatened their cats or something. The, “Oh, come on, you can afford to pig out” lines aren’t helping lady.

KingGrizz, the Pippen walk over Ewing is a great moment from my childhood
June 13th, 2011 at 2:17 PM
The Taste….always good times, if you go in the off times. Went on the 3rd of July last year. That was too much.
THIS!! I hate that. My wife pulls this shit too. (Not that she’s fat) I’ll come home from the gym and crave ice cream or something and I get the “you just worked out, reward yourself” speech. Fuck that.
I reward myself enough on the weekends with booze. Discipline, you fat fucks.
June 13th, 2011 at 2:18 PM
I laughed.
June 13th, 2011 at 2:19 PM
Who here was defending Dusty Baker trying to kill that poor relief pitcher Carlos Fisher? (whom he asked to pitch 6 innings in relief, and throw nearly 100 pitches)
Before then: 3 appearances, 4.2 IP, 5 baserunners (WHIP 3.5)
Maybe a just random statistical chance, but OOF
June 13th, 2011 at 2:21 PM
The only thing that would make that DeShawn Stevenson picture better was if he had gold teeth for a grill. I’m surprised he doesn’t, actually.
June 13th, 2011 at 2:22 PM
Lots of people with French-Canadian ancestry who came to Manchester to work in the mills. I remember that from my time campaigning there during the ’08 primaries.
June 13th, 2011 at 2:27 PM
I want one. XL. I’ll pay whatever
June 13th, 2011 at 2:28 PM

How about a smug asshole tax?

Yes, this right here. I can turn down food because I know I’ll be getting those calories in the alcoholic form.

A fat tax is a fantastic idea, but I dont thik any politican would ever go for it even with the budget problem. Fat people = alot of voters.
June 13th, 2011 at 2:34 PM
can we tax rich white women who don’t work and spend all day doing bullshit too? like tax the living bejesus out of them? and throw em in jail when they don’t work and take up two fucking parking spots in their escalade that they drive even tho the nanny takes their kids to all their sporting events?
i hate white people.
June 13th, 2011 at 2:37 PM
well no shit.
June 13th, 2011 at 2:39 PM

This is also a reasonable plan

spencer, I just gave you a standing ovation in my office.
June 13th, 2011 at 2:40 PM
and that should not in anyway be taken sexually.
/don’t twist my words, you sick fucks.

Just out of curiousity — how can this be taken in a sexual context?
June 13th, 2011 at 2:42 PM
chicago…i can’t take it man. my office is in the same building as this upscale mall that ive seen all of five minorities in my entire four years working here. the parking lot is a fucking zoo…all these women with sugar daddies going to these nice restaurants, acting spoiled as fuck, driving around the parking lot in cars WAY too big for them to handle while on the fucking phone…
it’s obnoxious as fuck. wealth should come with a responsibility to not act like you’re worth a shit.
June 13th, 2011 at 2:46 PM
An interesting observation from Chris Mannix at SI: Amazing the steady stream of anti-LeBron backlash that comes in from coaches, scouts, execs and players. So many just don’t like him.
/ commence back to the obese/spoiled people talk
June 13th, 2011 at 2:48 PM
will do…
went to this wedding two weekends ago and there was this chick wearing a dress that looked like 10 lbs of sausage stuffed into a 1 lb case. i think she ate two dinners.
June 13th, 2011 at 2:48 PM
Stevenson is an ego-maniacal turd bag who wishes he was half as good as he thinks he is
And he’s an NBA champion
June 13th, 2011 at 2:51 PM
He’s hated on Lebron since before it was cool to hate on Lebron, so I’m good with him.
June 13th, 2011 at 3:13 PM
I am so in love with the NBA right now. If the Heat would have won, I would be saying the complete opposite.
June 13th, 2011 at 3:19 PM
This is the “likeable and classy team” you were all rooting for huh? If Lebron wore a “Suck my Dirk” shirt after winning the title, you all would have destroyed him and called him all sorts of assholitry. But if some talentless scumbag does it, it is hilarious. Interesting.
June 13th, 2011 at 3:21 PM
Someone show orly57 the door. Please. LeBron is that you?
June 13th, 2011 at 3:23 PM
Deshawn’s “How does my Dirk taste” > Shaq’s “tell me how my ass tastes”.
June 13th, 2011 at 3:25 PM
I’m actually far more interested in seeing this title winning asshole version of LeBron. He would be completely awesome if he did that. It wouldn’t really make sense for him to wear the same shirt, but if he won a title then did something assholish, I would probably hate him far less.
June 13th, 2011 at 3:25 PM
talentless scumbag that your team left wide open time after time all series.
June 13th, 2011 at 3:26 PM
The main difference being, orly, that he would have actually won something before crowning himself and being an asshole.
June 13th, 2011 at 4:12 PM
I seriously feel like a freak sometimes for being thin.
Maybe it isn’t because you’re thin.

Sortsgal,
Probably too late to the party but my son says (he’s 12) if it zig-zags you are probably looking for a square-lipped crank bait. He suggests Bomber or Strike King for brands.

The guy is a class-less punk…my guess is he knows EXACTLY what Dirk tastes like..
June 14th, 2011 at 8:29 AM
I’m no LeBron fan, but Stephenson is an ass clown. If Cuban had anything to do with it he’s a complete tool. I hope the Mavs lose 60 games next season.
June 14th, 2011 at 4:07 PM
He actually is a really laid back nice guy who is well spoken (sometimes)…crazy but true. He traded a t-shirt he was wearing for this one from a Mavs fan who was staying in the same hotel as the Mavs. The shirt was the shirts that were handed out at the home games in Dallas, some fan just took off what was on them and put his own letters on it thats why you see the HDNet logo.
