This Lakers bros GIF is timeless. Those Dwight Howard shirseys on the other hand ...

What’s going on here? Did Stephon Marbury just smell something funky? Is he appalled at the officials? Did someone dunk? You can use this for almost any situation.
There are a lot of excellent Drake GIFs that are flattering. This ... is not one of those. Send this to a friend who talks a mad game but probably doesn’t back it up.
