The origin of "Gone Fishin'"
During a special episode of "Inside the NBA" featuring the greatest moments, when the doctored photographs were brought up, Kenny Smith explained the origins of the expression, "Gone Fishin'". During one Western Conference Finals between the Houston Rockets, which Smith was a part of, and the Phoenix Suns, the Suns Gorilla held a fishing reel with an attached poster with the names of the teams the Suns had eliminated with the words, "Gone Fishin'". Smith noticed this and told his Rockets teammates that they were not going fishing.

Shaqtin' A Fool
On the episode of Inside the NBA following the games played on January 12, 2012, Shaqtin' A Fool made its debut. NBA TV had given Shaquille O'Neal a segment, Diesel Dunks, and TNT followed it up by giving the first year commentator a segment based off of outtakes and mishaps involving NBA current and former players, coaches, referees, and fans from the past week.

The first video of the debut episode, featuring Charlotte Bobcats' center Bismack Biyombo stumbling backward while attempting to receive a pass in the low post, set some precedents for most future Shaqtin' A Fool nominees: the replay of the NBA related mishap, humorous narration from O'Neal, and a shot of the reaction of an observer of the game—usually the head coach of the team whose player was involved in the mishap (which, in this case, was Paul Silas at the time). O'Neal would further improve his narration each subsequent early episode, adding both pop culture references and his own monikers based off of NBA legends: Tragic Bronson for squandered fast break opportunities, Hakeem No-eye-juwon and Kareem Abdul-Ja-fall for poor low-post play, and Wilt Stumblin' for players falling down.

Over time, Shaqtin' A Fool would feature certain players who were past nominees more often than others who were not. Players who developed a reputation for being nominated for Shaqtin' A Fool include JaVale McGee, Kendrick Perkins, and Nick Young. In some episodes, if a certain type of mishap (e.g. poorly missed free throws, missed dunks, overthrown alley-oop pass attempts) occurred unusually often the past week, one of the nominee videos will be a montage featuring the recurrences of the mishap. O'Neal generally avoids including plays that involve injuries.

Charles sometimes needs a giant donut
Honestly Knicks major prob is everyone including the coach an owner is trying to relive or generate there individual greatness. So you will see loses that comes from overdoing, melo trying to win the game, so zingis gets left out. The best part is they could be the best lane driving team an there offensive stars don't actually need the the ball. Rose has to adjust an become pass first an drive second Maaklarry aka tha sharp (talk) 03:49, 20 January 2017 (UTC)

U talk too much big guy

NBA players carrying the ball when making a move.
Why doesn't the officials call carrying the ball when players drive to the bucket. Like Morant..K Durant... L James.....Greek Freak... O my if A.I.was still playing. 2600:8801:3212:7000:D4EE:75B6:597C:7C3 (talk) 04:26, 4 May 2022 (UTC)
