2 Chainz

@2chainz

Are the Lakers now the G.O.O.D. Music squad of the NBA? If so, then what does that make the Magic?

Larry Coon

@LarryCoon

Pretty much.

Pat Geee

@patgeee

We could see that happening. Don't forget about Metta World Peace hitting somebody.

@talkhoops

Instead of shaking hands before tip-off, Kobe will be doing this.

@John_Da_Kid

Brook Lopez is going to be dunking from the foul line and Kris Humphries is going to look like Kanye.

Gino The Ghost

@GinoTheGhost

Have you seen dude's track record? This ain't what you want fam.

Quincy Acy

@Quincy_Acy

If so then Orlando's front office deserves a spot on this list.

And after they're done trashing teams, they'll eat a tall stack of flapjacks. Advantage, blouses.

Jalen Rose

@JalenRose

They'll both blow hella smoke to "Today Was a Good Day."

Shaq

@SHAQ

Hey Shaq, are you a pretty good analyst?

Myles Brown

@mdotbrown

No worries, we're sure he has David Stern on speed dial.

J Fengel

@J_Fengel

And he's in London of all places. No white girl is safe.

@AngryLakersFan

A list with all the parallels between Dwight Howard and Shaq is on deck.

The Illuminati

@ThelIluminati

The Internet killed John Witherspoon today and so did David Stern, apparently. Don't think for a second that he isn't capable of making those things happen.

Unlucky Lebro

@UnluckyLebron

L.A. doesn't need another riot.

Drew Unga

@DrewUnga

Excuse us while we go find some holy water to wash our eyes with.

Lakers Nation

@LakersNation

They haven't played a single game yet and they're probably already on this list.

Ball Is Life

@Ballislife

One of those things is not like the other. Take a wild guess...

Tim Trew

@TimTrew

You forgot Pau's multiple mental lapses.

Morgan Murphy

@morgan_murphy

*cues the soundtrack*?

Ro Flo ESPN

@RoFloESPN

Objective reporters FTW! Oh, wait.

FSOhio Z Jackson

@FSOhioZJackson

If Mike Brown doesn't come away with a chip this season he's a prime candidate for the next edition of this list.

Your breath reeks of saltine.

Some people are just never happy. Sidebar: Who the hell is Davis Stern?!

@RicoFKNSuave

You guys didn't see The Mamba putting in work a couple weeks ago in Barcelona? We're pretty sure Kobe was cheating on the reg way before this trade went down.

Samuel L Jackson

@SamuelLJackson

Samuel L. Jackson should be the only person allowed to tweet in all caps.

HDE

@HD_E

The Heat trying to form the first-ever Big 5 1/2? And if you were wondering who the half would be it's Bosh Spice.
