[ETG]

Damn, you got a bird from me.

You gotta admit, this April Fools thread is a billion times better than the one from last year that was in incredibly poor taste. I forget the exact details but I think it was something about a player getting arrested or hurt? That one was bad.

That April Fool's joke became a reality a couple of months later

Holy fuck I think my heart literally stopped for a second...screw you Chardon!!

 

[Backstage]

You straight up took me to the office.

And then gave me a heart attack.

 

[Gordon Bombay]

damn, i got excited there for a second

 

[l3bron]

I was excited. Well done.

 

[fruitypebbles23]

AHHAHAHAHAHH THIS IS FUCKING CLASSIC HOLY SHIT.....



your gay...

 

[Chardon]

I honestly didnt think this would work.

 

[Ruken]

You are king of April fool's for the day or until someone punk's your ass better *rubs hands together with evil laugh*

 

[kookoo]

It wasn't on realgm, so I didn't buy it. Haha.

 

[Splitz]

Good, I would have missed hearing someones drunk grandpa attempting to string complete sentences together. :chuckles: I think he adds close to nothing to the conversation but I do like the guy just based on his enthusiasm for the team.

 

[caf]

HAHA thank you so much for this. I almost forgot to pay my rent today....

 

[SteelSmack]

If only Austin Carr was gonna retire...

I love him, but he is a horrid color commentator, he just is. He's a homer, he stumbles over words, he uses the same 6 phrases over and over. He knows the game of basketball and provides great insight at times, but it's just overshadowed by his horrible announcing ability.

Good joke though, you had me excited.

 

[Scrote Squad]

Kobe is better than LeBron.
April fools.

 

[Damage]

Welp, I got fooled. this is about as embarrassing as the time I pissed in my inlaws bed
