Create-a-caption: 'Dude, that looks nothing like me'

By J.E. Skeets

Hornets guard Chris Paul(notes) poses for an artist during an NBA Draft party Thursday night at Gordon Biersch in New Orleans. Best caption/imaginary conversation wins the crappy drawing. Good luck.


After the jump, GQ Thab.

Winner, JM:
Hasheem Thabeet's(notes) endorses Savane's new line of casual wear for the very, very tall and lanky: the Ralph Sampson collection, perfect for any rail-thin 7'3" or above NBA prospect whose college success will likely not translate into professional productivity. The Ralph Sampson collection: Your post game may not look so good, but you still can.

Runner-up, Zach H. from Talk H.:
Tyler Hansbrough(notes) is shocked to discover that Hasheem Thabeet has a lower back tattoo of a tribal symbol with angel wings.

    Unfortunately for the rest of the Paul's teammates, the artist stopped drawing after Paul's characticture. When Tyson Chandler begged him incessantly, he replied with, "Sorry guys. Chris is the only one that looks good on paper."

    Artist: Sorry Chris, that'll cost an extra $10 to draw you some help in the front court.
