    "BALL" followed by nearly 5 seconds of awkward silence. LOL classic.

    I can't help but think there's some deep meaning behind it.

    I feel bad for the reporter. He reacted pretty well, I guess. He allowed Hedo some time for elaboration, and when that didn't come, he used a lack of cues to formulate something decent. I'm going to use that answer from time to time.

    "How was your day?" --"Ball." " Do you know how to get to I-10?" --"Ball."


    So uncomfortable for me to watch. I dunno why, but I can't stand watching people when I KNOW it's going to be awkward.


    My girl gets mad because change the channel every time something awkward is about to happen.

    lol as funny as the zaza and medvedenko interviews were, I think there was something behind Turkoglu's comment. Toronto hasn't let Hedo play the "point-forward" role as much as he should be. They have essentially taken him out of his comfort zone and it hasn't proved well for the signing. I mean, why pay him that amount of money if you weren't going to use his strengths? Him saying he had the ball obviously shows that he isn't very content with his role. [/captain obvious]

    Yea i think that was the meaning, as he then replied "Ball, i´ve got nothing else to say". I think it was a shot at the team.

    I thought he said "balls" at first, then it would make sense.

    It would have been better if after he said "ball" there was the 5 seconds of awkward silence, and suddenly a basketball thrown from the stands slams into the reporter's head.

    Then Hedo looks down at the unconscious guy, says "I warned you," and walks off.

    Awesome.

    there's nothing awkward about the comment itself, I actually thought it was quite witty and expressive by Hedo. "Ball" simply means "I got my touches" in the game, it was a subtle shot at the coach and at his team. The silence that followed it was pretty awkward though.

    But the whole thing doesn't even come close to Zaza's awesomeness :grin:
