    Kai Jones already owns that, what a throw down:



    The wolf howl reaction by the commentator helps a lot though!

    P.S. To see Faried get embarrassed like this is glorious and to see him and Beasley play as veterans in the Summer League is just ridiculous. There should be a rule for this, only players younger than .... and or in the first 2 / 3 years of their NBA experience.

    The Youtube video name really does need to be amended.

    How exactly did that end Faried's career? Dude didn't even challenge it.

    Yeah, exactly. Also, his career ended two years ago.

    Great Job Knicks you traded away a good player, On Draft Night.

    New York losing out on NBA Talent is a Great Feeling.

    As someone that has been going to SL since a 36 year old Penny Hardaway was going to SLs, I think it is freaking awesome that Vets like Beasley and Faried can go and hoop and kids can sit front row and see them.

    It's really, really special. Back in the day Magic Johnson had his own team and would lace them up, back at the Pyramid.

    So no, little doggie, stop barking.

    Did the commentator really say, Jericho Sims caught a body? Does he even know what that means? Holy smokes, street slang about murder should not be the new normal.

    I think one or a few other commentators do this too lol. I laughed first time I ever heard it. But I guess people say someone got killed or murdered in the context of sports too.

    I think they have moved away from that language around the time they changed the Washington Bullets to the Wizards--even though Bullets certainly seems to fit the DC metro more than Wizards, sadly.

    It's been street ball slang for getting dunked for years now.

    Too bad Shaka put all his eggs in the only player who didn’t get drafted in Matt Coleman
    Who stunk it up in summer league for 0 points and 3 fouls

    The first dunk was crazy. I saw this one from another angle and yeah, it was a dunk on somebody, but not all that spectacular. The announcer was trying to hype it up like it was Vince dunking on Weis.

    I've noticed the commentators have been really bad this year, on top of them overreacting like crazy to every little play, It's like all the commentators in the summer league are trying to be Doris Burke level cringe on steroids.

    OKAY DON'T DO THEM LIKE THAT

    OH I SEE YOU GOING INTO YOUR BAG

    THATS HOW YOU FEEL?

    When did uber corny become the thing, this is supposed to connect with the youth or something?

    Is that really a dunk? It's so fast I can't tell but it looks like he threw the ball into the net.
