The slap and run heard round the L

It’s the gif that keeps on giving

By Sam Rubenstein

Lang sent along the link to Carmelo’s punch/slap on loop. Here it is.

I tried to find a good clip of Chris Paul’s dunk on Dwight Howard. NBA.com was playing it up and you can find it there in nba.com broadband videos, if you can get your windows media player to accept it. I haven’t been able to yet.

In the meantime, here’s a great mash-up of A.I. and Jim Mora, discovered by J.E. Skeets. This is better than The Grey Album or anything Sycamore has ever done.

    Wow…upon further examination, its just a slap? Man, whats the problem?

    I think that every other angle they’ve shown on tv it’s looked like a punch. But all along it was a slap…worth 15 games??? And just wondering… Marcus Camby never faced any sort of fine/suspension for windmill punching his own coach?

  • J R Posted: Dec.24 at 11:08 pm
    shouldnt melo get his suspension reduced being he didnt actually punch anyone?

  • A.I. Posted: Dec.31 at 4:41 pm
    That was not a punch. I don’t know what the League was thinking. That is clearly a slap. And the Allen Iverson video- hilarious!!
