Andre Drummond meets Jennette McCurdy

"We don’t like to make assumptions. But reading between the lines, it appears Detroit Pistons center Andre Drummond has struck up a romantic friendship with actress Jennette McCurdy on social media. Here’s what we know: Earlier this summer, Drummond, 20, started participating in '#WCW,' which stands for 'Women Crush Wednesday,' on Twitter and Instagram, posting a photo of McCurdy each week."

Who is Jennette McCurdy? She's a star of Nickelodeon's iCarly. Obviously. Here's a nice roundup of Don Juan Drummond turning Women Crush Wednesday into the sonnet of these modern times.

This was amazing enough all by itself. But then: "The 21-year-old McCurdy took notice a few weeks ago, followed him back on Twitter and began talking to him ... Since then, Drummond appears to have sent McCurdy gifts, including [a teddy] bear."

She named him Drummy.

Apparently the porn star sara jay (and her friend Angelina Castro) said she would give oral sex to any Miami heat fan who followed her on twitter if they won the championship last year. Well she kept her word and the film just got put out there on the internet.

Super rare opportunity to see Stockton speak about anything, too.

Did you read Marc Spears interview with GP about this?

Q: Why did you pick Hall of Famers George Gervin and John Stockton as your presenters during the ceremony?

A: "George Gervin was my childhood idol since I was little. In Oakland I had all his posters on my wall. The Iceman poster where he was on ice blocks in that silver suit. He presented to all my other Hall of Fame stuff for retired jerseys at Oregon State and my high school. John Stockton is because I liked him when I was playing basketball. Everyone said he was dirty. He wasn't as athletic as us. But he was smarter than us. We knew what he was going to do. We knew he was going to set [tough] picks. We had all the videos on Utah. We were so dumb. We would get caught up with the picks and get mad at him. He would shoot eight times and make nine. Shoot eight free throws and make seven. He'd have 15 assists and four steals. A complete game. That's just the way he was and I idolized him. I just imitated him while going about my business, talking trash and getting it done. After the game you would look at my stats and it would be right there."

Q: Did John Stockton ever talk trash back to you?

A: "Never. That is the reason I really respected him because you never could get in his head. He's the hardest person I ever had to guard. I tried to talk to him, try to do something and he'd just look at me, set a pick and cause me [to get mad and] get a tech. And then all of the sudden it was over. There was much respect to him doing that to me. It taught me a lot."

Q: Even so, you once said you were better than Stockton?

A: "I was. I really think I was better as an athlete and in everything all-around. But he was just a smarter basketball player than us. He just got it done. I do think I was a better basketball player. I can do more things skills-wise. He just showed he knew how to play the game and that was the biggest difference."

Q: You say Stockton was the hardest to guard, but what about guarding Michael Jordan?

A: "Those battles were a little easier. I would have Jordan get mad at me and go back at me. He knew he was really talented and could do whatever he wanted to. But [Stockton] was more of a challenge to me than guarding someone that would talk back to me. When you talk back to me and say something to me it made my game go to another level. John was one who wouldn't say nothing and you couldn't figure him out. He'd keep going in the pick and rolls and he and Karl Malone would score a big bucket. At times I would guard Jordan and get him mad and into other things."

Only in my right hand.

Funny shit though - a lot of people think that you need to be able to palm a ball in order to dunk. Huge fucking lie.

Thanks for posting that. The Glove will always be my favorite player ever. And he legitimately WAS a better PG than Stockton, haters be damned.

It sure makes things a hell of a lot easier. I had to do the weird scoop method or go up two-handed until my hands grew some in high school and I built up my grip strength more.

Yeah... I think two-foot jumpers have it worse when it comes to dunking.

Same.

But being able to palm a ball does help a shit load to dunk though.

how do you guys improve your jumpers?

I've come a long way. Used to be I was emulating Iverson and the street ball era. Only went right, tried to finish at the rim all the time, over-dribbled just for styling purposes...

Then a couple of years ago I started to taking shit a lot more seriously. Mastered my left hand, got in the weight room, improved my IQ...

J is still not super reliable though. I'm that guy who gets wherever he wants on the court due to handle and then misses the easy jumper.

The fucking depressing thing is my form is Bradley Beal good, but I'm still Wade bad with the jumper right now.

Bustley is gone at last. I think it's now fair to completely consider him a massive bust. Guy isn't gong to turn it around anywhere. Well, Butler was good for something.

It's probably your feet, man.

My biggest problem shooting was that I treated set shots like jumpers and I was only getting my feet together when I was being pressured. So yeah, I looked like I could shoot whenever I was played tight but once people found out I couldn't hit an open shot I got the Rondo treatment. I was pretty schizo when it came to anything that didn't involve the backboard until just a few years ago.
