This is a good picture

by Royce Young on January 17, 2012 at 12:39 pm 26 Comments

The Thunder’s bench mob took a bit of a hit when Nate Robinson was bought out and left the team. Gone was the flapping arms, the crazy screaming and wild towel waving. Royal Ivey has tried to carry the load by himself, but that’s a tall task.

Enter Kung Fu Cole Aldrich. There is so much going on in this picture, I don’t know where to start. I assume this came after one of Thabo’s twist-ending 3-pointers or a Russell Westbrook dagger. But you’ve got Reggie Jackson singing into an imaginary microphone, Lazar Hayward staring right into my soul, Aldrich playing air guitar and Eric Maynor trying to jump up in celebration on a busted knee. Good picture, you guys.

If you feel so inclined, go ahead and create your own caption. Bonus for rhyming.

"There is so much going on in this picture . . . " Even the guy who is supposed to be providing security for the bench had to have a look.

Here it is without the formatting clutter. . . .

Hey look Nate,
You taught us well
To go all out
For shots that fell!

We've got the moves,
The points, the kicks
To cheer on all
The starters' tricks.

Reggie sings,
Lazar shows three,
While Eric teeters
On one knee!

Thanks a million,
Little Nate,
'Cause we have tons
To celebrate!

Is it just me or are the formatting marks at the beginning and end of every line showing up for everybody? Very strange and I'm not sure how I managed to do that.

a very rare and unique photo of the OKC bench stretching and prepping for the game. notice the Majestic Cole as he does his patented kung fu kick stretch * taught to him by master collison no doubt*. The radiant voice of sir jackson as he sings kiss from a rose by seal. The stylish dance moves of mr eric maynor *no doubt LYING about his ACL tear lol jk jk* and Lazar signalling just how many cheeseburgers the guys need.

@Legendary_Dork Eric could be the drummer? Ouch I know, poor torn ACL humor.

If you've got a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire...the B-Team.

I laughed at this for a good 5 minutes before sending it to you. I don't think it's possible to get everything into one caption for this one. I really wish Ivey's(?) face was visible behind Cole's shoe, his expression with the 3's holstered (Westbrook 3) might make this picture too great for the internet.

@Brob785 Cole's rockin' the holstered 3 as well.

And now I want to see Russ holster his threes at the Peake after a 3 and have the crowd holster 'em right back.

@Royce Young No problem. By the way, I think this is a perfect album cover for the Bench Mob's first CD.
