      • mortigon, on 03/04/2008, -25/+9How do you know the guy who said it isn't white.
      • canewediggit, on 03/04/2008, -4/+63i am white. and kyle kutcher is most assuredly NOT representing.
        • arjung, on 03/04/2008, -13/+8kyle korver...?
        • polyGone, on 03/04/2008, -0/+14I was going to be the correction Nazi...but I see what you did there.....
        • gbarberi, on 03/04/2008, -0/+9Next time put the sarcasm tag on for the slow people.

          And, MrSarcasm - I've seen plenty of Black jokes in comments with a high amount of Diggs.
      • sougly, on 03/04/2008, -3/+49Not on Digg. We laugh at black jokes, too.
      • blackinthmiddle, on 03/04/2008, -2/+18Stop being sensitive. If I had a quarter for every response on digg that made fun of black people's diction, I'd be a millionaire.
      • LopsidedZebra, on 03/05/2008, -1/+19I hear black people have HUGE dictions.
        • chumpburger, on 03/05/2008, -5/+1thats pretty funny lopsidedzebra... i logged on just to tell u that
    • VinnieDaMac, on 03/04/2008, -15/+3Only if the joke's on a minority, not just blacks.
    • moush, on 03/04/2008, -7/+1What's with that black guy in teh back?
      • slvrbullet87, on 03/04/2008, -4/+2Everybody who isnt a white christian male.
        BTW singling out white people is discrimination which is racism.
        • postama, on 03/04/2008, -3/+1actually, there are more females than males in the world, so male is not minority
          • Namco, on 03/05/2008, -1/+2? wha ??? You try to make a point and contradict it in the same sentence.
    • jjesusfreak01, on 03/04/2008, -9/+2Way for McCants to represent...UNC!!! Go Heels!
      • TheTaint, on 03/05/2008, -5/+0I'm a duke fan...***** you. the devils will own the heels this saturday.
    • wicketr, on 03/04/2008, -1/+10I would love a huge FatHead of him in this picture to put on my wall. That would make me smile everyday.
    • gstep, on 03/04/2008, -3/+2My thought exactly, Korver's from my home state (Iowa). Frankly I'm ashamed...
      • JasonMath, on 03/05/2008, -0/+1Actually, I was wondering about that too. One of the Korvers (Klayton) is on the Drake basketball team, and another one (Kyle) is on the Creighton basketball team. I hope that the parents did not have their middle names start with K, though. ;)
        • gstep, on 03/05/2008, -0/+1Believe it or not there's also a younger brother named Kirk. High school senior, I'm not sure where he'll play yet.
    • dib2, on 03/04/2008, -6/+1Black Power.
    • mhaus, on 03/05/2008, -6/+1Dude.. haha, omg, No joke, that is my old neighbor. His brother is in my grade and one of my better friends. They live right across the street from me. I definitely need to show this to him.
    • zunkus, on 03/05/2008, -2/+4I'm black and played against Korver all through AAU...I can assure you he's not a sissy. He just knows when to get the ***** outta the way, any ball player knows that...unfortunate for him he looks like a bitch in this pic. Why don't you go back to commenting on some star wars instead of sports.
  • jaybuster, on 03/04/2008, -6/+381this is an embarrassment to little girls everywhere
    • sfly510, on 03/04/2008, -17/+4And you have no idea what you're even commenting on; you're just trying to get laughs from other idiots and get dugg up. If you actually knew anything about basketball or even watched that game you'd know that he got stuck in the air on defense and was trying to avoid a foul call. Korver is pretty far from a pussy. If I had to name one guy in the NBA who isn't afraid to take a charge or dive for a ball, it'd be him. And he's also not full of himself like most players in the NBA. Regardless it's still a pretty funny picture of him, but everyone in here is commenting on something they have no clue about.
      • Ciryon, on 03/05/2008, -2/+11Wow, good thing he didn't say anything bad about NASCAR!
        • sfly510, on 03/05/2008, -9/+3Dude, who gives a ***** about NASCAR? My only point is that jaybuster is calling Korver a little girl when he understands nothing about basketball, especially what is really going on in the picture. I'd like to see any of the people who are making fun of Korver's skills or heart as a basketball player try to play in the NBA. Yea he looks like an idiot in the picture and is making a hilarious face, but calling him a little girl or a goofy giggling little bitch for it is just stupid.
          • sixsidepentagon, on 03/05/2008, -1/+3Dude, he doesn't actually think he's a little girl. He wasn't serious. It's called, if you consult your friendly neighborhood lexicographer, a joke.
          • diktator279, on 03/05/2008, -1/+2(A lexicographer is a person devoted to the study of lexicography, especially an author of a dictionary.)
      • sixsidepentagon, on 03/05/2008, -4/+3Please tell you're not being serious. Please. I need hope for mankind.
    • selvamna, on 03/05/2008, -0/+3no kidding, and that stupid grin on his face makes it worst.
  • akatherder, on 03/04/2008, -8/+690I'm guessing the shooter, pulled off a good pump fake and the defender jumped to block the shot that never came. Now the shooter is going up for the shot as the defender is landing (while tucking his arms so he doesn't get called for a pointless foul).

    At any rate, he looks like a goofy giggling little bitch.
    • 89vision, on 03/04/2008, -1/+44He is, but he's a good 3 point shooter
    • Chucara, on 03/04/2008, -5/+25In other words: He looks exactly like Ashton Kutcher if he (AC) worked out.
      • helooksmortal, on 03/05/2008, -1/+9What does "(AC)" mean? did you mean "(AK)" (to rclarify that you were referring to Ashton Kutcher working out?) or is it some other secret acronym...?
    • Gr1nch, on 03/04/2008, -3/+15No one gives kyle korver any credit, his family is like the next barry family [steve, rick and brent], kyle klayton kaleb and kurt ALL make it rain from 3 point. They're like the Manning's of basketball. It just sucks they're the closest thing to a white american representing, let alone dominating, the league. [everyone knows JJ was a FAILURE]
    • typicalusername, on 03/04/2008, -14/+2I can has blok?
    • Lezlee798, on 03/04/2008, -9/+7I understood nothing of that.
    • ppinette, on 03/04/2008, -0/+5That's exactly what I was thinking. And Korver gets called a lot for sloppy defense, so I see why he is trying to get away from the shooter.

      And to be fair, he did lay down a killer stuff on Dirk last night.
    • helooksmortal, on 03/04/2008, -0/+14it's most definitely that, a lot of players tuck after going up after a fake to avoid the foul. it almost goes without saying to most.

      but, it's 10x funnier being ignorant to that basketball knowledge. just imagining that exactly what you see in the picture is really how he actually reacts to jump shots? hilarious.

      i personally like to imagine that he just holds that position/expression during the whole game. that would bring the hilarity to an almost disturbing level.
    • nationalist, on 03/05/2008, -6/+1lol 608 diggs...is that a record?
  • ceruleanocte, on 03/04/2008, -11/+97eek a mouse!!
  • an0nymous, on 03/04/2008, -2/+101It's the knee socks that really sell it.
  • ajsutton88, on 03/04/2008, -9/+366Ashton Kutcher?
    • mlvassallo, on 03/04/2008, -0/+16I guess the poorly worded caption was a reference to his looks and not his style of play. However my guess is Ashton would be a pussy in the paint as well.
    • moonguidex, on 03/04/2008, -1/+14George Michael Bluth?
      • tinydoc, on 03/04/2008, -2/+4Ahhhh....memories! Can't wait for the movie. SWEET!
      • mateusap, on 03/04/2008, -0/+4movie pls, don't taunt me :(
      • lilbowwow, on 03/04/2008, -0/+4still doin that huh?
      • BriscoeJr, on 03/04/2008, -1/+0that dude looks like the actor Josh Hartnett.
    • cambob76, on 03/04/2008, -13/+1Ashton is a big pussy. And I think Demi Moore is Alzheimer's.
      • kenyan, on 03/04/2008, -0/+17Demi Moore IS Alzheimer's? Thats ***** up
        • DrywallThief, on 03/04/2008, -0/+7That bitch got both my grandpas!
      • cambob76, on 03/05/2008, -0/+2It's just an unpopular typo. God. Do people really needs perfected spellers? I want to apologize to Ashton. His character on that ***** show was a pussy. I'm sure he's nothing like that. Demi Moore is still Alzheimer's.
    • suzywang3000, on 03/04/2008, -5/+2glad someone else noticed...
    • Calcularius, on 03/04/2008, -7/+5Since they already called it in the article, you fail.
    • tolbs, on 03/04/2008, -2/+7Kyle Korver always gets that. He's been called that ever since he came to Utah :).
      • dion3537, on 03/04/2008, -1/+5He was called that well before he went to Utah.
        • ggacid, on 03/04/2008, -0/+3I don't know why you are getting dug down.. All my friends and I have been calling him that for a couple years now when he was on Philly..
      • kevinwiz, on 03/04/2008, -0/+1Ya and he hates being called that
    • finista, on 03/04/2008, -2/+3PUNKD!

  • BradArmstrong1, on 03/04/2008, -8/+162"EWWW it touched me!"
    • linkin2, on 03/04/2008, -1/+19cmon...give black people a break...
      • Chaoticfist, on 03/05/2008, -1/+2I thought we were giving them a break....were ripping on the white people right now. Later it will be the Asians who cant drive, the Arabs who blow people up, the stupid Americans, the Mexicans jumping borders, or the Jewish Nazis that have a secret plan to take over the world.
    • antiorblkflag9, on 03/04/2008, -8/+2http://images.icanhascheezburger.com/completestore ...
    • TheTaint, on 03/05/2008, -10/+1Hilarious comment. +1 for you. i think the color black on people is nasty too! I'm not racist, I just hate the color black...on people.
  • tchawla, on 03/04/2008, -11/+156Take random shots of yourself while playing sports - I'm sure you make worse faces than that sometimes.
    It's still funny though.
    and I guess this is digg. There probably aren't many athletes here :/
    • thelock65, on 03/04/2008, -16/+4i'm an athlete
    • buildbyflying, on 03/04/2008, -2/+31wii golf doesn't count.
    • neferiousrich, on 03/04/2008, -1/+10chess?
      • dariendynamite, on 03/04/2008, -1/+7I once knew a guy in high school who thought 'improv' was a sport worthy of the Olympics...
        weird...he ended up losing a testicle to a 'masturbating accident'...how ironic...true story btw.
        • ninxmz, on 03/04/2008, -1/+14what
        • Dubbsacc, on 03/04/2008, -2/+9the *****?
        • coyoteblue, on 03/05/2008, -0/+9I don't think you can say something like that and not elaborate.
          • dariendynamite, on 03/05/2008, -0/+0
            I think i said enough, no?
            Basically I knew this guy in highschool, a real idiot....and he would whine about how Improv (drama) wasn't allowed to be part of the physical talent shows in the school.
            "Hey man why can't I go up there and do some Improv, its just as good if not better than winning the basketball championship, or trying to juggle 10 balls at the same time"

            So later in the school year....his sister shows up at the school and finds a group of us (the guy was in our circle of friends) and she explains that he won't be coming to school for a little while and that she needs to go find the principal to tell him that he is in the hospital.
            I don't think his sister meant any harm..but she accidentally spilled the secrets of the 'accident'.
            Apparently my friend was jerking off to the latest Pamela anderson playboy video, and somehow managed to get his tubes tied.
            His testicular veins, and it cut off the circulation to one testicle. They snipped it out.

            ahh....
          • ninxmz, on 03/06/2008, -0/+1oh ***** that

  • SirZRX, on 03/04/2008, -23/+6what a pussy!!!!
  • k1down, on 03/04/2008, -5/+33Dugg for Ashton Kutcher getting kneed in the ass.
  • aceakm, on 03/04/2008, -0/+61That's how I play defense.
  • RustyJ, on 03/04/2008, -12/+0What does elbowdropping your knee accomplish?
  • danielrh9, on 03/04/2008, -6/+240If Conan O'Brien were to join the NBA, I'd imagine it would look something like this.
    • jerryterhorst, on 03/04/2008, -0/+27you'd never know that guy is 2 inches taller than conan too. the perspective is so weird when practically all of them are at least halfway to 7'.
      • Thurloat, on 03/04/2008, -0/+36you mean... they're all 3 and a half feet tall? i'd hope so.
  • TripleAStacked, on 03/04/2008, -10/+5***** happens......

  • InnerBlueAbyss, on 03/04/2008, -1/+54He is planning an evil deed
  • GoonPowerX, on 03/04/2008, -2/+34The Knicks could really use this guy to improve their D.
  • rayskin, on 03/04/2008, -8/+158He may be a pussy, but he makes more money that anyone here.
    • twertyto, on 03/04/2008, -52/+4Ummm..he shouldn't. It's college ball.
    • p0tent1al, on 03/04/2008, -4/+88ya well a prostitute makes more money than I do, I still have my pride though
    • styler5, on 03/04/2008, -6/+0that adds more to the point.
      making a ***** ton of money, and still a pussy.

    • diggdowner, on 03/05/2008, -0/+1Dugg down for abbreviating "physical education" with "phys ed" instead of "P.E."
  • gttim, on 03/04/2008, -8/+0Ashton Kutcher never looked quite that effeminate.
    • IHaveCrayons, on 03/04/2008, -2/+2No, Ashton Kutcher is an embarrassment to men everywhere.

    fat bastards, that can't jump for *****.
  • DErallde, on 03/04/2008, -1/+7He's just so HAPPY to be there
  • orangetiki, on 03/04/2008, -2/+97Rule #1 about basketball. "You never want to be on someone else's poster." Tough luck #24
  • twertyto, on 03/04/2008, -9/+4MOMMIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
  • Brendan2026, on 03/04/2008, -7/+6Yeah, Kyle Korver! Looks like we're not missing him much in Philly.
    • joits, on 03/04/2008, -0/+4that's probably true... but ever since Utah got him, they've had a great record. he's not tim duncan and won't make a crap team any better... but put him in fast improving team and he makes a big difference!
      • Brendan2026, on 03/04/2008, -0/+2he's a good player, I hope he gets a chance to shine.
    • DiggerUpper, on 03/04/2008, -0/+1I am
    • bythewar, on 03/05/2008, -0/+0I'm sure your just lovin Gira-suck... oh wait, your getting rid of him too. Nice work with the salary cap though
  • JBravada, on 03/04/2008, -3/+6That guy is going to have a rough day today/this week/next year
  • TomGfromCanada, on 03/04/2008, -2/+38Korvers a shooter, not a defender.

  • TiKiMaN1, on 03/04/2008, -1/+4Really Kyle Korver has been great for the Utah Jazz, but that photo...well that's just plain silly.
  • CCricers, on 03/04/2008, -12/+2He looks so JAZZed to be there.

    *awaits tomatoes*
  • neferiousrich, on 03/04/2008, -8/+3had to log in to digg that one up...
  • skeletorcares, on 03/04/2008, -12/+3god, i hate basketball. summed up one one photo.
  • habhi, on 03/04/2008, -2/+3Korver actually took a ***** of charges in philly. not hard to imagine him becoming a softy in utah tho.
    • jankind, on 03/04/2008, -0/+10Yeah he did. He was never scared to take a charge or hit the floor. That guy dove for more loose balls than anyone on the team (except for when AI was here)
      I bet he would take a charge from Shaq, no questions asked. Not a great defensive player but also NOT a pussy by any stretch. Just a funny pic of a dude trying to avoid a foul call.
    • poondoggle, on 03/04/2008, -1/+3If you think that playing under Jerry Sloan would make you soft, you know nothing about his tenure in Utah. The Jazz are known as one of the more physical teams in the league. Although I do concur that Korver looks like a little girl in that pic.
      • habhi, on 03/05/2008, -0/+1the stuff about sloan is true, but korver was acquired so he could shoot. in philly, he was the number 2 or 3 option so he had to do everything.
  • plaing, on 03/04/2008, -1/+24kyle korver, heart throb for teen mormon girls everywhere.
    • davey68, on 03/04/2008, -1/+0As A Mormon living in Utah i Resent this comment Kyle Korver is one of the better Jazz players we have especially since Andrei Kirilenko has become the Biggest Baby in the NBA. I resent the comment but I totally agree. LOL!
    • gapingass, on 03/04/2008, -0/+2Don't pretend you didn't just steal that from a Simmons column.
  • compcaddy, on 03/04/2008, -6/+1this guy would definitely not make the all-white-team

    • TheHeat, on 03/05/2008, -0/+1One of the funnest thing's I've found to do with 2K8 ...

      Apparently I'm going to have to do research as to why Jason Kidd and Steve Nash aren't on the team.

  • QuestVR, on 03/04/2008, -3/+9"My Precious!"
  • jtablerd, on 03/04/2008, -2/+8hehe looks like George Michael [Bluth]
  • ggroves, on 03/04/2008, -0/+8It may actually be great defense... if the shooter is moving forward, his nuts are about to slam into the defender's pelvis. That's why Korver is giggling like a schoolgirl.
  • deeboe, on 03/04/2008, -1/+22This cant be accurate. It is a Minnesota Timberwolf that is dunking the ball. As a Minnesota fan, I just can't trust this picture. P.S. Has anyone seen K.G. around? He hasn't been showing up at our games lately. :'(
