    Dumb, dumb, dumb move by Ellis. He's supposed to be the face of our franchise and he goes out and does something stupid like this.

    Maybe this incident will wake him up. He ain't ready to lead yet if he's going to do some things without thinking.

    Couldn't have been something cooler than a moped? Something badass....like a war elephant.

    I was going to say, well if it's not in his contract. Then I mean he has the right what leisure activities he chooses to do. However it is lol:
    Heh that would be badass, and probably not in his contract either lol.

    Breaking news, Monta Ellis' left ankle was crushed by a war elephant.

    although it's slightly less negligent than a motorcycle, it's way pussier...lol. we lost our best player to an f'ing moped....that sucks...

    by the way, what do mopeds and fat girls have in common???

    they're both fun to ride until your friends find out...

    dammit monta...

    He should've claimed that he hurt it while rescuing the Queen of England from Chuck Norris's castle which rests upon a floating volcano.

    Moped ftl :dancewookiee:

    Does anyone know what happens if the Warriors void the deal? Does Monta become a free agent?

    I come from a motorcycle background and in my experience, low-speed accidents are usually the ones that cause the most damage. The thing that makes a moped or other "slow" motorized two-wheel toys is that it's so un-intimidating and often times you don't take precaution when riding them. Add to that, you are more inclined to do tricks on those types of bikes and if you don't take it seriously, you lose focus, and you get hurt.

    Yes, I speak from experience. The most dangerous motorcycle I've had is a 50cc Honda mini-bike.

    I think if the warriors void Monta's deal somebody else can sign him, so yeah I think he'd be an FA.

    I think Kensaku's right if you aren't doing it right, you can easily get hurt.

    I also think that Mopeds aren't that wussy, but it really depends on the model because I think it's certainly wussy enough for me not want to ride one. If it's a motorized bicycle, then that's kind of stupid looking. But if it's a motorized scooter, that's somewhat acceptable. But yeah, if I was hurt riding an ugly moped I would have lied and said it was from a payday orgy celebration with 50 las vegas strippers and I slipped on some spilled massage oils.

    I dunno that is pretty wussy too. I mean basically you are clumsy and slipped. I'd say I was hunting Lions with my bare hands in Africa when a tribe of pirates came out of no where and cut off my foot.

    You're right... Okay I was having a payday celebration orgy with 50 las vegas strippers when they all slipped on massage oils and they injured me.

    Well this explains why Monta lied about the incident and also why it took the Warriors this long to release the truth. A freakin' moped?

    The most asked question for Warriors media day has been ... Most got this sarcastic question posed to them: "Have you ever ridden a moped?"
