Create-a-caption: Shake on it

By Trey Kerby

This kid is pretty happy to be meeting Mike Dunleavy, Jr. I'm not quite sure why, really. Maybe they just sealed a big business deal — that would explain the handshake — or maybe he's just a big fan of NBA coaches' sons. Either way, good for this kid. Best caption wins some polyester pants. Good luck.

Previously, Kobe and Jerry look longingly.

Winner, Bibz: "Buss: Wow. Adam Morrison(notes). 2 time champ. How does that sound?
Kobe: Seriously? But Jerry i just won my 5th champio....
Buss: I love that man. What a pick up.
KObe: But i got 1 more than shaq.
Buss: And hes got 2 more than reddick. Whats your point?"

Runner-up, Big Jake: "Kobe Bryant and Jerry Buss star in " The Notebook 2", coming soon to a theater near you."

Second runner-up, Hoosier: "Jerry: "Kobe, I'm so proud of you. We've been through a lot together , all the hardships and adversity and we've come out on top. But if you'll excuse me, Its time for me to hit the clubs with Ron.
Kobe: "What the?"

    How awesome is it that the IMDB page for "Vice Versa" has credits for Fred Savage and Judge Reinhold both starring as Marshall Seymore?
    No caption here. I just thought of that movie after seeing that picture.

    The 2017 number 3 draft pick sees a brief flash of what his future could hold and decides, no matter how pure a shooter he would be, that he will be more successful as a dentist in Bloomington.

    When you're an eight-year-old basketball fan from New York, it's hard to hide the thrill of meeting any NBA player that hasn't played for the Knicks.

    *film noir music*
    Kid's inner monologue: Mike had a cold, distant stare in his eyes. The kind of stare a guy gets when he's touched the hand of death. Or the hand of his past. The kind of stare that says "everything is alright"--on the surface, but only the surface. Me, I knew what I was staring at. Someone more miserable than me.

    Kid: No, I'm kinda busy guy. Good luck with it though.
    MD: Come on, $10. All you have to do is shake my hand and look at the camera.
    Kid: Make it $20 and you've got a deal.
    MD: $20? Fine, $20 but you have to smile too.
