Gentry: Jeez, Alando keeps bugging me for some playing time.
Nash: Well, we are killing them pretty bad, you can let him play the last few minutes
Gentry: Nah, I’ll play him next month. I mean, we didn’t pick up his contract for a reason
Nash: Good point.

haha
gentry: man those pork and beans are destroying me.
nash: ya, the smell is horrible. please stop eating those.
Winner
Caption 1:
Gentry: Well we’ve got this one put away, and I know that the Game in Toronto is important to you, but after that I’m going to need you to get the guys to take the next couple of games off. You know. We can’t have people thinking we’re really all that good. It ruin’s our plans for the whole “under-dog” pitch we’ve been making…
Nash: Loud and clear boss-man.
Caption 2:
I know they’re supposedly the same but I swear to Gretzky this one feels just a little bit heavier!

- “Gentry: Nash I got some bad news…I just got off the phone with Kerr… you’re being traded.”
“Nash: What??!”
“Gentry: Naw I am just playing, but seriously, stop turning the ball over and for God’s sake tell Robin to cut that ridiculous beard.”
- 2 “Olaf! Metal face!”

Caption 1:
Gentry: You feelin’ Amare’s beard? He says it makes him more intimating.
Nash: Oh, I’m intimidated, but only because I thought he was using poop for aftershave. I don’t want some poop-faced tall guy running at me with a basketball. I wouldn’t take that charge.
Gentry: Hmm, you’re right. It does look like poop. If that dude gets a max contract, I hope he buys a razor.
Caption 2:
Nash: How’s that, Cassell?!?! Yo’ momma was an alien and your poppa was a dog of some kind. Now that’s balls!

1)
Gentry: Man, we should have been up by 30 now if it wasn’t that Violet Palmer blowing her shit every 2 seconds. Why won’t her get herself a pair of glasses?!
Nash: You’re right ,coach, I’ll make sure to tell her that.
2)
Nash: This curvy line on the basketball reminds just of the function f(x) = e^{-x^2}!!
Grant Hill is totally the next MJ!!

Caption 1: “Hey Steve, shouldn’t you be on defense?”
Caption 2: “Ehhhhh… yeah I think this would fit in that hoop.”

1st:
Nash: What would coach say?
Gentry: Steve I am right here and i said go lay on the floor we’ve put this one away.

Nash: Mike would have let me play more … fine Coach

disqualifying myself...
Alvin: So you’re faster than a shark?
Steve: s’right.
Alvin: What, faster than a hammerhead ?
Steve: yup.
Alvin: How about a Whitetip Shark?
Steve: them too.
Alvin: Even a Great White ?
Steve: no problemo… and Mako sharks too.
Alvin: Daaamm boy, you’re fast. I’m impressed.. You know brothers, as rule, don’t swim.
Steve: I did know that, but didn’t want to bring it up. I made Kobe cry, once, when I told him.
Alvin: No shit?
Steve: s’right.. At the all star game. Kobe, I said, you might be able to fly and dunk and stuff, but in the water, you’re just shark bait.
Alvin: And then what’d he say?
Steve: Nothing.. he realized he had no answer, and just how helpless he was. Then he started to tear up, and asked me to go get his blankie..
Alvin: Steve.. that’s some deeep shit, right there.

disqualification pt 2.
Alvin: I just got off the phone with the Wachowski brothers.. you know the guys who made the Matrix movies. They want to turn 7 Seconds or less into a movie. They’ve approached Lawrence Fishburne to play me, Gary Busey to play Mike D., Gary Sinise to play Steve Kerr, Will Smith to play Stat, Jay Z to play Trix, Nicholas Cage to play Terry Porter, and Keanu Reeves to play you.
Steve: Whoa.

disqual pt 3.
Steve: Coach?
Alvin: Yeah, Steve ?
Steve: So Tiger’s officially black now, right ?
Alvin: We’re not sure yet.
Steve: What??
Alvin: You see, he got beaten by his wife…
Steve: And??
Alvin: If his mama had beaten him, that would have been ok.
Steve: Uh, huh..
Alvin: But his wife.. Who also happens to be as white as can be…
Steve: So, when will we know??
Alvin: If the Sistas start hitting on him, then he’ll be black.

disqual pt 4.. the sci fi version...
Alvin: A lot o’ people don’t realize what’s really going on. They view life as a bunch o’ unconnected incidents ‘n things. They don’t realize that there’s this, like, lattice o’ coincidence that lays on top o’ everything. Give you an example; show you what I mean: suppose you’re thinkin’ about a plate o’ shrimp. Suddenly someone’ll say, like, plate, or shrimp, or plate o’ shrimp out of the blue, no explanation. No point in lookin’ for one, either. It’s all part of a cosmic unconciousness.
Steve: You eat a lot of acid, Coach, back in the day ?
Alvin: I used to hang with Bill Walton, sure..

lol...
As a fellow “Kobe-hater” I thought that was pretty funny…there is a picture floating around that would go great with that….ill find it
I don't hate Kobe
just stone ignorant Lakers fans and others who worship the guy, and piss on his teammates just to elevate him.

- STEVE: Hey uh, coach – is that morbidly obese woman with hairy armpits still waving at me?
AG: Duuuuuude…
#2)
STEVE: HEY!! NENE!!! DO YOU NEED A LOANER!?
They say "don't swim with the sharks", but I'm faster than sharks so it's not a big deal...
Entry!
Caption 1:
Steve: “Hey Alvin, where do you get your hair cut?”
Gentry: “Steve, I don’t think they do cuts for your kind of ha…”
Steve: “Damn it, Alvin, just tell me where you get it cut!”
Gentry: “…Nappy By Nature.”
Steve: “…”
Gentry: “Told you.”
Caption 2:
Steve: “Judging by the velocity at which I can throw this basketball, combined with the distance and rate of time it would take to hit the hoop, and based on the odds that I can swish this shot being 1:45, I can accurately say…wait, what is Dan Majerle doing flirting with that 19-year-old?!”

AG: "Okay, next time up the floor I want you to run that play where we give you the ball, something amazing happens, and then one of our great shooters hits a three. A two would be fine also.
SN: “Do you want me to shoot it or someone else? It will almost certainly go in either way.”
AG: “Up to you. Surprise me.”
SN: “Sounds good. Hey, do you remember back when you were coaching the Clippers, and—”
AG: (Smiles) “No. No I don’t.”

"Fold and Glare"
Nash: What do you think of this? It’s gonna be my signature sideline pose when I’m a head coach.
Gentry: Underhand hip grab? Too weak. Your thorax is vulnerable and exposed to attack.
Nash: My thora…?
Gentry: Just fold your arms and glare, son.
Nash: But everyone does that.
Gentry: Look, you ever watch Byron Scott coach? He’s terrible. But the “Fold and Glare” basically won him a “Coach of the Year” award.
Nash: But I don’t want an award I don’t deserve.
Genry: You mean again?
Nash: What?
Gentry: You heard me.
Nash: I can’t believe you just said that.
Gentry: Just wanted to show you how vulnerable you are to attack.
Nash: Whoa.
Gentry: Exactly. Now if you “Fold and Glare”, I can’t make that comment for at least two seasons.
Nash: Wow… Wait. It’s been THREE seasons since I—
Gentry: Fold and glare, son… Fold and glare.

Gentry: No.
Nash: Hmmm…Dudley?

Nash: So uh coach, I seriously can’t look at you right now.
Gentry: And why is that, Steve?
Nash: For God’s sake coach, Halloween ended last night. You still look like Urkel.

“After working on the guns a bit, Steve started to work on his mental focus in hopes of being prepared for his future meeting with Robert Horry.”
