Monta Ellis' AMAZING handshake

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.

Could someone please translate into proper English what he says?

I really have no clue :confusedshrug:

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:

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.

: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.

:rolleyes: Unimpressed. Weak era for handshakes.

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.

This thread = :roll:

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:

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

Fixed

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.

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.

[QUOTE=Hammertime]Good lord, if nothing else, NBA players need to do a year of college in order to learn to speak English.[/QUOTE]

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.

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

I know ... but there wasn't one word of actual english that followed the amazing shot.

:oldlol:

I actually feel bad for him.

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.

Haha nice shot, and better hand shake

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:

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

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 [I]d[/I]ick in the speaker's mouth.
