NBA Daily Worst: Metta World Peace Wrestles Blake Griffin and More
Welcome back to the Daily Worst where we look at the worst of the worst every day. Who needs to celebrate the best when you can scorn and scoff the worst?
The standard disclaimer here is that no players were hated in the production of this article. They earned their way on here.
Worst Foul
I think that Metta World Peace, aka MWP might have to change his name to MMA. First, he tells Reggie Evans "you soft" here.
Then he goes for the total MMA move at the 1:00 mark of this clip. It's fun enough without the violence being accompanied by the words "World Peace."
Worst Play
For today's worst play we've got a theme of "game-losing shots." We have not one, not two, not three, but four game-losers to show you, and by Jove, two from the same game!
First up there's the most bizarre, botched play you'll ever see to seal the loss for Chicago. You don't normally think of a miss followed up by the words, "hilarity and chaos ensued" but in this one it kind of does.
You can see it at the 2:10 mark of the video below. As a Bulls fan, this one pains me the most, but I have to ask Tom Thibodeau, "Kyle Korver?" Of course you expect the White Mamba to drain those, but oh well.
Next up, it's not the Daily Worst, it's the Daye-ly worst! (Sorry, I just couldn't resist.) This play is completely messed up, though. It's a home game, Austin! Why are you traveling?
Finally we have the Philadelphia game where there wasn't one, but two missed game-winners by the same team. First, Lou Williams is completely disrupted by Deron Williams (1:28 mark) and then Deron Williams shows how it's supposed to be done (2:26) before Lou shows Deron, anything you can do, I can't do worse.
Daily Awards
Every day we give two awards. Today's Bakers award, for the guy who makes the most turnovers, goes to John Wall with seven. Actually, Russell Westbrook, Kobe Bryant and Ricky Rubio all tied him, but since he had the fewest assists, he gets the honors.
Today's Upchucker award, given to the player that keeps throwing up shots even though he's missing so much that it makes you want to puke, goes to Kyle Lowry who was a whopping 2-of-16.
That's it for today's Daily Worst. Make sure to check back tomorrow for more bad plays and more bad puns, if you dare.
