LMA Would Be Proud (Ricky Davis Snipe Job)

[ABM]

From: Bleacher Report

Few people have been as selfish as Kate Beckinsale was when she decided not to do whatever Underworld movie they are on now. None of us would kick her out of bed for eating Triscuit crackers, but her selfishness is not going unnoticed.

But even though she remains as the Queen of Selfish for not doing Underworld XLIII, her male equal, Ricky Davis of the Los Angeles Clippers, still runs the house of selfish.

I know, I know, J.R. Smith. I haven't overlooked you and your heavily contested game-tying, catch-and-shoot three-point attempt yesterday with 33 seconds left (even though there was plenty of time to play defense/foul) that myself, George Karl, and Chauncey Billups wanted to strangle you for.

Nope. Ricky Davis is the king of selfish.

The best part about Ricky Davis is that in his mind, he's never guarded. There is never a time when Ricky Davis won't shoot. And we've all seen him pull the trigger on almost every shot.

The "hand in your face" jumper, the "split the double-team" fade-away and the "Nate Robinson wouldn't even do this in a dunk competition" drive to the basket. And how could we forget the "shoot it off your own basket to get the rebound to complete a triple-double" shot.

Ricky Davis does it all.

Yesterday was a new chapter in Ricky Davis' Guide to Becoming Selfish for Dummies.

The short-handed Los Angeles Clippers were facing the Portland Trail Blazers. The Clippers were actually hanging around by their standards—down by about 25 points in the third quarter when they made a run........................

Clippers somehow get a third rebound on the possession and Ricky Davis gets his filthy mitts on it one more time. By this point, it was clear the circle button was broken on his controller and passing was not an option. So he shoots again. Clank.

Money quote of the article for me.

I'll toot my own horn and say that I was happy with my brainstorm yesterday. After Ricky had fumbled the ball out of bounds for a turnover, it got kinda quiet as I yelled out "It's ok, Ricky! Roaches have 6 legs but NO HANDS!" At least, my section thought so.

I don't really know who Kate Beckinsale is or why we should care, but in that photo her head appears shaped like ET's.

Seriously, a little green paint and...

I posted about it in the game thread. Not your line, but the hilarity that is Ricky Davis after that play, with the addition of the mandatory "roach" reference.
