Mr. steal your girl was in the house to address the media on the team championship aspirations, he posed for pictures and even introduced the teams starting lineup.
It was baby-faced Aubrey Graham at his best. He even added a corny punchline for each intro.
Per James Herbert
The intro breakdown:
Jonas Valanciunas: “We’ve given him the street moniker of Big Science.”
Amir Johnson: “He recently got a tattoo of a Swiffer WetJet.”
Terrence Ross: “He moonlights as West Coast rapper Kurupt.”
Landry Fields: “We realized tonight we share the same family.”
Kyle Lowry: “He’s the baby-face assassin.”
Coach Dwane Casey: “The best-dressed man in the NBA.”
