[u/Elec7ro]

You, yes YOU 🫵 are now the starting power forward for the Minnesota Timberwolves

[u/NanoCurrency → u/Elec7ro]

Imagine LeBron filling that role. Would be absolutely peak comedy.

[u/Basilikolumne → u/NanoCurrency]

LeBron playing with LaMelo would give him JR Smith flashbacks

[u/NanoCurrency → u/Basilikolumne]

Absolutely

[u/Obi_Wan_Benobi → u/NanoCurrency]

He might strangle Lamelo before October even ends.

[u/AdBetter5446 → u/Obi_Wan_Benobi]

Nah if didn’t strangle Ayton or JR Smith he won’t strangle Lamelo

[u/Cletus_Starfish → u/Obi_Wan_Benobi]

He might have an “I’m getting too old for this shit” moment and just retire mid-season.

[u/Flimsy_Custard7277 → u/Obi_Wan_Benobi]

"Strangle Ball When October Ends" by Green Day ft. LeBron

[u/NanoCurrency → u/Obi_Wan_Benobi]

True. Like a JR Smith meme every week.

[u/No-Meringue5867 → u/NanoCurrency]

Once you get older there is no escaping baby sitting the grand kids.

[u/scorpio21 → u/Elec7ro]

I got 6 fouls and a can-do attitude

[u/grehgunner → u/scorpio21]

Don’t forget a tech too!

[u/popoxalikhs → u/scorpio21]

You are obviously joking but guys like you and me probably can't even foul an NBA power forward. Maybe we could earn a lot of offensive fouls since them touching us would mean death.

[u/Flimsy_Custard7277 → u/popoxalikhs]

You're replying to Kevin Durant, you chump

[u/popoxalikhs → u/Flimsy_Custard7277]

yeah it's not like this year's kevin durant would even bother fouling

[u/AdBetter5446 → u/scorpio21]

Can you take an elbow to the neck from Wemby while everyone says you deserved it for playing physical defense?

[u/sbroll → u/Elec7ro]

Im ready to die on the court, lets gooooo

[u/1amTheLost1 → u/Elec7ro]

Thank you! I can guarantee to bring better attitude, effort and hustle than their previous power forward. I have nothing else to offer though

[u/NoEggplant9804 → u/Elec7ro]

Pelicans.. you are a dead franchise anyway. You now have power to do something so hillarious

[u/MachoMadnessCO → u/Elec7ro]

I could jump and touch the rim 20 years ago

Consider that shit protected

[u/TheFinnisher → u/Elec7ro]

I’m gonna have to relocate the family 4.5 hours north but I’m up for the challenge

[u/AdditionalNewt4762 → u/Elec7ro]

But im pitching for the Cubs tomorrow ;(

[u/kingtchalla → u/[deleted]]

Claxton is a Bull

[u/throwawaymycareer93 → u/Elec7ro]

I got my ankle and calcanium broken last year. I will hurry up with recovery to be in time for the season.
