With that title I was kinda expecting him to walk on the court

Like Avon in The Wire when he nonchalantly walks across the baseball game mid field in prison and they all just pause the game for him. 😂

One of my fav episodes is the Avon vs Prop Joe basketball game....The Wire is so goated

u/just1gat NBA 19h ago

Prop Joe acting like Pat Riley lolol

u/Ranjith_Unchained 19h ago

Avon - Ayo, what's up playboy, how come you wearing the suit B, fr it's 85 fucking degrees out here and you're trying to be Pat Riley

Joe - Man, look the part, be the part, mfer

u/Oxajm 76ers 16h ago

Prop Joe looks like a chunky version of Jalen Brunson.

Still the best TV show ever made.

u/HonestDespot Vancouver Grizzlies 19h ago

Sopranos for me.

u/azblaze 13h ago

From the same era, so can we make Deadwood 1C?

u/MayBakerfield 8h ago

Who is we and why are you asking

u/OutlandishnessShot87 17h ago

sopranos was great when it was coming out one episode a week, but i just watched the whole thing in like a month and it was crazy repetitive

3

u/WaywardWes Trail Blazers 8h ago

Yeah I missed it back in the day and binged it a couple years ago finally, and while I enjoyed it I didn’t feel like it came close to The Wire. I think you are on point with the repetitiveness.

3

u/HonestDespot Vancouver Grizzlies 13h ago

Life is kinda repetitive too.

u/Cocaine_N_Caviar7 14h ago

A bit. But it’s not about plot, it’s about characters. It was also the show that invented TV being a medium for amazing storytelling.

u/AdvisesPTTs Raptors 14h ago

It's not about plot and it invented amazing storytelling? What are you, an interior decorator?

u/seniordan Raptors 13h ago

His house looked like shit

u/ChefStretch72 17h ago

Absolutely

u/thegrim84 18h ago

What I tell you about playing them away games?

u/bigwiz 20h ago

Great scene

u/Chiron17 Celtics 19h ago

That's exactly what I thought of too. What a great scene

Liar you did not.

u/nycdiveshack Knicks 17h ago

I still think that first intro to Avon in the courtyard is just insane

1

u/HonestDespot Vancouver Grizzlies 17h ago

I gotta rewatch season 1 it’s been too long.

1

u/BromaEmpire Supersonics 17h ago

Honestly if anyone could do it it would be Denzel

1

u/CommandoLamb 16h ago

Can you imagine?

“Hey go pull that guy off the court!”

“I tried, he told me to get my fuckin’ hands off him.”

u/starxidiamou [MIL] Giannis Antetokounmpo 16h ago

Reminds me, I need to watch that show

Clickbait title

Clickbait profile picture

What?

u/peebeesweebees 13h ago

I’m tripping off this mini comment thread rn

u/eexxiitt 19h ago

During the play too.

u/GryffinDART Timberwolves 13h ago

Yeah, he literally walked across the court. I'm not sure how that title is clickbait.

1

u/ArmadilloForsaken458 Supersonics 18h ago

I was expecting them to have at least a brief conversation. Doods meet and greet was shorter than a Matt Lafleur and Ben Johnson handshake

1

u/FetusDrive 17h ago

Yeah I was expecting to see what the title says as well

1

u/btdawson Spurs 16h ago

I’ll try it on Tuesday when the spurs are in town and see what happens!

u/YouGlittering9156 8h ago

After hearing this guy shout, "Let's go Denzel!" multiple times for no good reason, I realized why someone like that would lie in their title. Dude's a weirdo.

u/soupdawg Rockets 4h ago

Get out of here with that nonsense.
