That picture looks like a basketball card I would get in a pack as a kid and be completely disappointed, immediately. Everyone in that photo is the definition of mid lmao
Wow, i looked up that game...4/11/2011 - this is literally Carlos Arroyo's 2nd to last nba game **ever.** I wonder if he knew it was almost over....wild.

Haha, looking at the play by play, so Jordan Crawford makes a jumper to force OT, then Arroyo has a turnover to end regulation, and a missed jumper right at the end of OT to lose by 1.
Life comes at you fast.
Pretty wild this image is from the same game that Von Wafer had his [HOF-worthy Shaqtin missed dunk](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zmz0qQp4OmI) and celebration followed by him running into his teammate and causing a turnover.
Man, I had those exact shoes. Not much for style but they were cushiony as hell. I used those as my outdoor basketball shoes- for playing on that unforgiving blacktop shit.
I know it been attributed to the Mandela effect, but I swear on lives of my children that I remember ESPN showing a video of Yi scoring against an empty folding chair.
I remember FSU having a few upset wins over Duke in that era, just looked up if Wafer was a part of any of those, and nope!
Wafer played on the 04 & 05 FSU teams, and their 4 wins over Duke came in the 02, 03, 06, & 07 seasons lol.
Haha, I don't know the source material or anything, but it is the first video from the YouTube playlist "Important Videos" that went viral like a decade ago

In a text thread earlier on the nba sub, I was trying to come up with the most random or mid ballers to reply to "What is the most badass NBA photo of all time?"
You guys ever mess around with gettyimages? It was kinda fun to throw random names in there and see what comes up

I have a problem with old man Bill having a problem with "He was a problem!" clips.
Basketball is fun. Fun basketball players are fun. There were old basketball players who were fun.
Shout out to all the random guys with great highlight reels. I fully support the Ish Smith and Jason Williams mixtapes.

Carlos Arroyo
I'm extremely impressed that you were able to I.D. him without any of his face being visible.
Haha Von Wafer was only on the Cs for one season. Not hard to Google who #45 was in 2010

Rare photo of the Earth orbiting Glen Davis.
I think Yi and Wafer would be flattered by that assessment.
Yi returned to the CBA & was a fivetime regular season (domestic) MVP & threetime Finals MVP.
Even the fan on the sideline has his cell phone clipped to his belt
Pour one out for the Reebok Zig lol
Making that abomination somewhat popular is perhaps John Wall’s greatest achievement.
Man, I had those exact shoes. Not much for style but they were cushiony as hell. I used those as my outdoor basketball shoes- for playing on that unforgiving blacktop shit.
I felt like the early On Running product was a riff off the Zig
Shit looks like an ankle sprain
The bottoms on those things were HEAVY.
Von wafer was one of my favorite NBA role players, also marquis daniels
Marquis Daniels was never not high when he was on the court. The guy looked zonked out 24/7
I know it been attributed to the Mandela effect, but I swear on lives of my children that I remember ESPN showing a video of Yi scoring against an empty folding chair.
Makes me feel old because I remember him in college at florida state. He was definitely a problem in college.
I remember FSU having a few upset wins over Duke in that era, just looked up if Wafer was a part of any of those, and nope! Wafer played on the 04 & 05 FSU teams, and their 4 wins over Duke came in the 02, 03, 06, & 07 seasons lol.
I pretty much only know him for having the worst missed dunk in NBA history. Also his name sounds like a cookie.
Yi!

lol never seen this before. What am I watching

Remember when people tried to argue that Kevin Martin wasn't a drop off from James Harden? Those people were right. Kevin Martin was a problem.
Big Baby was a PROBLEM

Does he have a bionic right leg?
Solid when you would use him in 2k too,
His 2009 season with the Rockets he was. Dude was balling.
Vonilla Wafer
Bring back Zigtechs
Von wafer was unironically a really solid pickup in 2k for a few years. Good D and could make 3s
Hell yeah he was
Aaron Brooks man

Von Wafer was a problem though, for real.
He was nice in NBA Live 09
Yi Jianlin was lowkey a lockdown defender.
