Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett are all smiles as David Letterman hands them the Larry O'Brien Championship Trophy on the set of "The Late Show With David Letterman" yesterday. (Here's a rundown of how the taping went.) Best caption/convo wins Paul Shaffer's glasses.

After the jump, Doc's river runs red.

10. They should call it the Kevin Garr-'Brien Trophy, that way basketball players in the American league will fight for the KGB.
9. I hear they hid Sam's Huevos inside the trophy these last couple of years.
8. The NBA is one of the few things in this world that is as old as I am.
7. ...but nothing's older than Larry King. Except maybe Madonna.
6. Doesn't Chris Bosh now wish he did my show instead?

5. So, wait...you might have mentioned before, but what's a Paul Pierce, again?
4. This might be the only way the Championship will ever come to New York.
3. I may very well be the first caucasian person to touch this trophy since Larry Bird.
2. The difference between the Letterman and the Mailman is that Karl Malone never got to touch this trophy.
1. But he did touch Kobe's other wife, right?

they continue to look like gangster thugs with the cigars and the hats and the posing. stern is too busing sucking kochk to do someting about this. there should have been technical fouls all over the place for that display of showboating and unsportsmanlike conduct. really quite a turn off

Letterman: That's wonderful, can I hold it? Us New Yorkers haven't seen one of these in awhile. You know, I almost won one of these back in my heyday...
Allen: Really? When did you play?
Letterman: Oh, right after I watched Richard Hamilton star in that He Got Game movie. That was an outstanding sports film.
Garnett: *laughs*
Allen: Actually David, that was my movie. I starred in it. Rip and I look nothing alike.
Letterman: You're right, well, it was some UConn grad I knew that. I almost went with Emeka Okafur.
Garnett: *outright laughter*
Allen: Okay David, you're done. Give it back.
Letterman: No, we've still got 5 minutes of air time to fill
Allen: Ha, ha, ha... Just keep smiling and hand the trophy over.
Letterman: I did. You're holding it.
Allen: Yes, but so are you still...
Letterman: So I am, imagine that
Garnett: HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!

Garnett: It's been a pleasure, but it's funny you should say that David.
Letterman: Oh, why's that?
Garnett: Tell 'im Ray...
Allen: Well Dave, not only is that how Kobe felt during the finals, but after we leave with the trophy, you and the rest of New York will feel just like he and the rest of the Lakers do now.
Group and audience: *Dr. Evil style laughter*

When did Create-A-Caption become a blog to rant and rave about your team? I watched the Lakers lose and I am a hard core Laker fan, and I will complain about them in another web site or blog. Create-A-Caption is a fun blog. Let's keep it that way.

Allen: yeah
Letterman: let me hold that...
after getting a hold of the trophy, Garnett's vision went blank and the next he knew was that he had blood in his hands, Letterman's eyes scooped off his face and Allen staring in disbelief
