Create-a-caption: Ari purple and Gold

By J.E. Skeets

Lakers guard Derek Fisher(notes) and "Entourage" actor Jeremy Piven celebrate at the Lakers' 2009 NBA championship private party at Club Nokia on Thursday night. Best caption/imaginary conversation — besides "Let's hug it out, Fish" — wins a small role in "Queens Boulevard." Walk with me, people.


After the jump, Jordan takes summer math classes.

Winner, Allen:
How does that math problem go again? 2 + 3 = millions?"

Runner-up, zero-2-hero:
Professor: "In around 300 B.C., Euclid presented the triangle ..."
MJ: "Sir, isn't it Phil who invented the triangle?"

Runner-up, Nick B:
A rare photo of the 1982 North Carolina blackjack team.

Runner-up, Jermaine:
The real reason Michael Jordan left UNC early. That unforgettable day in history class during his junior year when Sam Perkins spent the whole class period laughing at MJ for wearing a matching pink shirt with Beth despite Jordan's claims it was not planned because his shirt was short-sleeved. Jordan declared his intentions to turn pro shortly after class.

    Fisher: Hey man, Ari Gold! I love that show! Reality TV usually sucks but Entourage is really decent. Almost as good as Bus of Love!
    PIven: Haha.....no wonder Lamar Odom farts in your pillow on road trips.
    Fisher: Huh?
    Piven: I said....no wonder CONGRATULATIONS MANNN!
    Fisher: Oh yeah...thanks man. Both teams played hard.

    Since Derek Fisher's agent is leaving him shortly, Derek is trying to serenade Jeremy Piven into becoming his agent by singing "I Need a Jew" from Fasmily Guy.
