Yeah, there's some people making a big deal in the video over some shot he just happened to make....but CHECK OUT THAT HANDSHAKE! :oldlol:

[NBA4EVER]

all i hear in that video is the word "Thang"

lmao at the comment....I hed tuh obin dat thang uhp, mayne!!!

[Utahjazzforlife]

Ellis has handshakes with the Oracle Arena Staff?? He is a man of the people.

[Cyclone112]

lmfao, honestly I was expecting to be let down but that was just epic. They did it so fast and perfectly without looking it was crazy.

[kumquat]

"That handshake was computer generated. I can tell because of the pixels" :oldlol:

[Glide2keva]

AnyOne from Chicago will recognize that handshake as the handshake of the street gang the gangster disciples or GDN. Others will come in and dispute this but GD's are everywhere.


I know for a fact that that is the handshake. Whether he is or not I'm not sure of but that is the GD handshake.

[catch24]

:oldlol: that was pretty sick.

[DuMa]

hahaha wow so effortless. reminds me of the secret handshakes lebron has got going on with all his teammates

LeBron would end up committing an offensive foul if he ever attempted this handshake.

[J23]

Wow lol that was sick.

[beasted86]

/faceplam
That's the truth, it goes something like that...

But I don't think that was gang related at all.

[Hammertime]

Good lord, if nothing else, NBA players need to do a year of college in order to learn to speak English.

[xtn5021]

They don't need proper English if they are gonna get paid like $10 mil a year...

[StroShow4]

Wow, someone PLEASE gif that handshake. :oldlol: :roll:

[Andrei89]

[OneMoreSucka]

Wow I didn't understand a word he said.

[Take Your Lumps]

...and then right into a classic high-five without even breaking a sweat.

unbelievable.

[Micku]

That handshake is just fly.

[50inchvertical]

really? That was like 4 steps. kids in high school have been doing these types of things since even back when I was in school, but I never got into it because everybody wanted to run up on you and have some secret elaborate bro handshake, and it just ended up making dudes late for class. Give me a hand pound and keep it moving, I got a Trig test.

edit: forgot to add
does anybody like these? I still got them, brand new, sz13. Have literally been in the bag for yrs (I was an And 1 weartester, had mine before Monta had his). And in fact this id my pic, a bunch of sneaker blog sites stole them after i posted mine on niketalk

Make an offer, nothing's too low.

[dbugz]

Monta's voice sounds like a he's a hobbit :roll:

[Maga_1]

[Timmy D for MVP]

Well that's why you don't know any cool daps, cuz you were more focused on math. You sound like a gay. :oldlol:

[thejumpa]

I had no idea Monta Ellis was so country. Sounds like one of my relatives or some ****. Where's he from? Louisiana? Mississippi? Texas?


The shake wasn't anything out of the ordinary but I gotta say.....Monta Ellis is a helluva player

I believe he's from Mississippi.

[thejumpa]

I believe he's from Mississippi.

Figures. I can't understand a word dude was saying. For some reason, I thought he talked a lil different. Guess I was wrong.

[KAJ=GOAT]

Well that's why you don't know any cool daps, cuz you were more focused on math. You sound like a gay. :oldlol:


and while you're so cool with all your homies doing acrobatic handshakes,

hes going to be signing your paycheck with the math he learned telling you to get your asses back to work.

[Alonzo Magic]

That sh*t blew my mind. 10/10. I want to learn and teach that to my friends, but that sh*t was way too tight to steal, too sacred.

:pimp:

[ukballer]

Immense handshake. With floor security. :lol

[henbus33]

monta ellis = most swag in nba

[Thugnificent]

"That handshake was computer generated. I can tell because of the pixels" :oldlol:

this thread is a definite win.

That arena staff looked like a bad mother ****er for sure mayne.

[Glide2keva]

I've seen that handshake too many times growing up to recognize it when I see it. Stree gangs spread and the GD's are no exception. It is very possible that the security person is associated with them and Monta is just friends with dude or is a part of it where he comes from.

Remember he is playing in SF which is across the bay from Oakland which is over run with street gangs. Another player I saw doing that handshake although a shorter version of it was Eddie House a few years back after a
mad shot when he was playing in Miami which is over run with gangs too.

Don't be so naive as to think these players are above this.

[Jasi]

Could someone please translate into proper English what he says?

I really have no clue :confusedshrug:

[El Seano]

Monta Ellis and Eddie House are members of street gangs, also the aging Oracle Arena staff member.

Anyway, this is all taking away from the beauty of that handshake, the .gif is mesmerizing...

Edit: Oh you mean Monta? "I told you I warmed that thing up man" unfortunately it comes out like "I dold yur ah wurm dat thang up mayne"

I was asking about Monta's words, no Glide2keva's :D

EDIT: got it, thanks :cheers:

[Glide2keva]

I showed the video to my wife who is in no way affiliated with any kind of gang and she immediately recognized it the same way I did. I know people will take what I posted lightly but I know what I saw and what that handshake represents.

Mostly all of the gangs here or ones the spread from here have handshakes and I've seen most of them.

[A.M.G.]

:roll: The funniest thing is everyone on youtube thinks the shake is computer generated or something. It's like they can't believe human hands could do this.

And this belongs in the "Why are black people cooler than white people?" thread as Exhibit A.

[vapid]

:rolleyes: Unimpressed. Weak era for handshakes.

[Juges8932]

Nice shot, nice handshake, and God awful "English." If you even want to call it that. And about the swag. Yeah, you can have a ton of swag and still talk ****ing coherently. Give me a break. You can also be smart and have swag. You don't have to be dumb as rocks to have swag.

[Clifton]

This thread = :roll:

[GOBB]

1. The handshake wasnt a big deal. Guess its too the sheltered bunch :confusedshrug:

2. Wanting proper English spoken because? These are guys goofing around with each other. You blast them for how they speak but you dudes are the same Stand By Me bunch that take turns farting and laughing. You figure it out. Not talkin proper English or having fart contest at night. :rolleyes:

[zabuza666]

Well that's why you don't know any cool daps, cuz you were more focused on math. You sound like a disciplined and potentially successful person. :oldlol:

Fixed

[thejumpa]

For some reason, I always have this vision of how NBA players talked after watching them on the court and on the sidelines and all that...I'm still laughing because I did NOT expect Ellis to talk that. I thought he was from NY or something lol

He sounds stupid as hell. Naturally being from the deep south ... but it's really bad with him. He isn't very intelligent as you can see.

[GOBB]

Probably the most moronic thing said in the month of jan 2010 on ISH. Congrats.

:oldlol: While I agree that it sounds funny, his intelligence has nothing to do with it.

[MaxFly]

Good lord, if nothing else, NBA players need to do a year of college in order to learn to speak English.

Yes, because if they haven't learned to speak proper English by the age of 17 or 18, and were allowed to graduate from high school in spite of that shortcoming, a year of college will fix at.

[MaxFly]

Probably the most moronic thing said in the month of jan 2010 on ISH. Congrats.

We're only halfway through the month... someone will surpass this...

[Samurai Swoosh]

:oldlol: While I agree that it sounds funny, his intelligence has nothing to do with it.
I know ... but there wasn't one word of actual english that followed the amazing shot.

:oldlol:

I actually feel bad for him.

[thejumpa]

Don't feel too bad. He's playing pro ball in the NBA for $11M a year. I'm sure he isn't worried about his grammar:eek:

True ...

But all that money and can't form coherent sentences is troubling.

[Blue&Orange]

And this belongs in the "Why are black people cooler than white people?" thread as Exhibit A.
Or in the "Why there are more white brain surgeons then black brains surgeons?" thread.

[jeff111]

Haha nice shot, and better hand shake

[Inspector Rick]

He sounds like a ghetto Rod Stewart.

Except he's from Alabama, and those guys seemed to sound like they had southern accents too. :confusedshrug:

[beasly15]

Mississippi, but I agree dude is stupid. I guess everybody who has ever crip walked really just shot somebody too, and everybody with a teardrop tattoo really has committed a homicide on an enemy, etc

[Take Your Lumps]

I don't get why people get so up in arms about black people talking like this amongst each other. I'm originally from PR, so I totally understand the phenomenon. You speak spanish one way around your immediately family, elders, teachers, etc...but when you're just kickin it with friends all bets are off and words are lucky to only get cut off by 50% and speed increases by at least two fold.

Dominicans are even worse....if you speak spanish or especially if you only have a tenuous grasp of the language, you will probably have a hard time deciphering one whole sentence from this video:

I understand 95% just fine, and the other 5% is just because of the accent and the dick in the speaker's mouth.
