    And getting minutes in the NBA finals? He can't shoot, can't post, can't rebound, flops all the time and is completely useless. Even Bogut was healthy Varejao was getting minutes.

    Somebody explain thx

    He has beautiful hair. Probably smells good too.

    Rebounding
    IQ
    Good teammate/team player

    + Brazilian connect with Barbosa

    So Jeff Van Gundy can provide us with solid one line zingers at his flopping expense.

    I'm so glad one ref decided to not fall for his BS flopping and called it on him instead of Shump.

    Didn't try it again after that

    He is the inside agent sent by the Cavs to destroy the Warriors

    His ability to throw himself to the floor with no contact earns Golden State a few extra possessions per game.

    He's an advanced analytics champion.

    I have a feeling Verajao is LGBT in one form or another and is in the NBA as the ambiguous spokes person to promote LGBT pride subtley.

    I know Warrior fans won't believe that a Cavs fans was seriously annoyed by him when he was still on our team. The difference is he got plenty of playing time so I've seen more of him. The Warriors are deep enough to only play him minor minutes.

    But if they see more of him, Warriors fans will also see why but I'll let them reach that conclusion on their own.

    ^This.

    Anderson Flopejão with those (think Frida in "Peanuts") "naturally curly hair" (I hope). The hair helps him get flop calls. Thankfully there was an instance last night when his grip on Shumpert was so obvious that the ref couldn't fall for it.

    But wouldn't say he's useless (probably a comment from someone who hates him and is venting). Overpaid, yes. But he does hustle and make plays.

    Honestly I'd love him as a backup center. He hustles, plays hard, and can give you a few points.

    He's a replacement level player. There are worse in the league.
