Much like in Professional Wrestling, to “sell” or “selling” happens when wrestler A hits wrestler B and wrestler B “sells” by reacting to the hit as believable as he can to make it seem real.
For instance, examine how The Rock reacts when he gets a Stone Cold Stunner from Steve Austin.
Watch how The Rock sells The Stunner by doing a black flip to the other side of the ring. No wonder The Rock is now one of the biggest movie stars on the planet. The man knows how to act.
Now watch Jared Cunningham sell the hell out of Eric Bledsoe's crossover.
Jared Cunningham's selling of Bledsoe's cross over made it appear like he needed a passport to come back from what just transpired.
Cunningham's sell job made it seem like the only time way we could contact him again was if we got tickets to “Crossing Over with John Edwards”.
Maybe Jared Cunningham will eventually become one of the biggest movie stars in the world while he makes connections playing in the Hollywood area.
Until then, Cunningham, Eric Bledsoe has these words for you...

Joakim wants to live man, Jeez
So Joakim Noah was asked how he was recovering after his knee surgery by a reporter and he responded, “Let me live man. Jeez”.
If you listened to “The Bench Podcast” this past week, you heard Donnie's story of how he witnessed a younger Joakim Noah tell a 10 year old kid to kick rocks when the kid asked Noah for an autograph.
Thus, this type of behaviour has been prevalent through out Noah's life.
Is this just a remnant of the 'Spoiled Rich Kid Syndrome' like Donnie says? Or is it something else? It can all be answered by this one tweet from the man himself:
Joakim Noah is not a brat. Channeling his inner 50 Cent, he's “just gotta (lot of) livin to do before he dies and he ain't got time to waste.”
He ain't got time for autographs. He ain't got time to answer questions about his knee.
He ain't got time to worry about his hot sister. He ain't got time to give Paul Pierce a two piece.
'Cause Noah's been hustling a long time, and he's got no ring. In College, he was the man homie.

Dwyane Wade is a Comedic Genius
Wade's a laugh a minute. Remember when he cartwheeled during Lebron's post game interview last year? Didn't you just bust a gut?
Remember when he wanted to be known as “WOW”? That was hilarious. Oh...wait, he was serious?
But this pre-season, Lebron-less, Dwyane has outdone himself. Wade videobombed himself!
Oh D-Wade, you rascal you! Your antics make us go “WOW”.
Oh D-Wade, you rascal you! Your antics make us go “WOW”.
Greg Popovich doesn't Give a sh*t about the Pre-Season
In fairness, Popovich doesn't seem to give a sh*t about the regular season either. He's all about the playoffs.
But he really, REALLY, doesn't care about the pre-season.
Losing to ALBA Berlin would have made some coaches insane - with Pop it was probably done on purpose as part of some complex Spursian Motivational Tactic .

Then he sat half his team against the Suns driving Robert Sarver (Suns owner) so crazy it made him cluck like a chicken.
The Spurs won 2 out of 7 games and although Popovich feigns concern. He doesn't care. He shouldn't either because we'll see him and the Spurs again in mid-June looking for their first back to back. And
then, we'll all give a sh*t
then, we'll all give a sh*t
Kobe Bryant gives too much of a sh*tKobe why are you breaking Nicky Azalea's hand because he reached during practice?
Kobe why are you trying to mentally breakdown a 20 year old rookie before he sees one minute of real basketball?
Kobe why did you put those dumb bells in Steve Nash's luggage to get him to...

Don't miss this historic episode! |
Sunday, October 12
The Los Angeles Lakers lost to the Golden State Warriors in a pre-season game with a score of 120-105.
New Laker Jeremy Lin is still out with a sprained ankle, that may or may not have been caused by the extra weight he's carrying from that chip on his shoulder.
Steve Nash is back, which is shocking considering the injuries he has had as well as the fact that he is the league's oldest player at 40.
Kobe is looking rejuvenated and seems comfortable (although perhaps annoyed at times) in his role as veteran and provider of sage advice for his squad full of eager young athletes.

But these very typical stories are not what is making headlines from this game.
Guard Ronnie Rice, who is new to the team, drew a technical foul after lobbing his shoe at Golden State's Andre Iguodala.

That's right. He threw a shoe.
After tripping up and having his shoe come loose, he gave up the ball, and in retaliation he tossed it as he chased Iguodala down the court...like a jackass.
Mark my words, this guy is gonna be a problem. Yeah, it is just the pre-season and some do not take it as seriously as others. But when you have a player signed for a one year deal (so far) and he is acting like a toddler there needs to be s sit down had.
Recently Kobe Bryant spoke of Price saying “When he was in Utah, he gave us a lot of problems. He really turned a few games around for them...with his energy and ability to get to the basket. He's an underrated shooter.”
Please.
With an average of 3.4 points, 1.1 rebounds, and 1.5 assists per game I'm not expecting him to be a dynamic player for a team that is suffering from injuries, lacking leadership, has a new coach and is installing new systems.
Not to mention, this whole damn city seems to have jumped on the Clipper bandwagon. It's way too convenient for these fairweather Laker fans to have another team in the same building!
