    Seriously how do you people not know what he is doing by now?

    All this cocaine talk is goofy... he does it when he has a high light dunk. He has been doing it for at least 2 seasons and signifies that he got so high in the air his nose started to bleed (nose bleed seats)

    Obviously he's in pain because something painful happened... nose-area.

    Nose bleeds happen when you put A1 sauce on your steaks.

    I really dislike that move... just looks awkward...
    on at least a few occasions announcers have sounded concerned over if he got hit....

    as the saying goes... if you have to explain the joke - then its not that funny...

    If you’re a true harden fan you will know this is his celebration when he dunks. It’s merely an indicator that he got too high which causes nose bleeds.

    There is nothing to worry about here, it’s all a bit of a show for the MVP!

    This is another one of those rock bottom threads. The frequency makes me question this site’s bastardized longevity.

    Yes I'm serious. I do not believe he does it anymore.

    I bet he is tempted to in the offseason when hanging around his rapper friends though.


    Look at this, it's obvious he's in a lot of pain afterwards when his teammates check on him.

    MCW literally hits his hand/makes a swipe at his nose too! Thats a dirty move on his part. Thats probably why MCW really got moved-- you don't do that to our star player.

    I think he gets self-conscious after he dunks - wants to small his hand because ya know where it's been.
