| Indiana Pacers News | | | C-a-C: This is probably as close to LeBron James working with John Waters as we’ll ever get (Ball Don't Lie)
As if it's not bad enough to miss a fast-break dunk on national television, LeBron James had to suffer the indignity of then being taunted by an inflatable pink flamingo wielded by Indiana Pacers fan Matt Asen. Obviously, Asen was thinking ... I don't know what the hell he was thinking .
But you do, right? So how about sharing with the class? Best caption about/explanation of this situation wins OODLES of flamingo facts for your Friday. Good luck.

Miami Heat Eliminate the Pacers in Game 6: Fan Reaction (Yahoo! Contributor Network)
This is what champions do. They take a punch from valiant opponents, overcome injuries and suspensions, and close out series on the road. The Boston Celtics were unable to do the same on Wednesday, but on Thursday, the Miami Heat defeated the Indiana Pacers 105-93 in Game 6 to advance to the Eastern Conference Finals. Their performance on Thursday allayed my concerns that the 2012 Heat aren't mentally tough enough to finish off quality opponents. Dwyane Wade’s hot pink pants: The kind of thing you can get away with when you drop 41 (Ball Don't Lie)
What is that, Dwyane Wade? Is that fuchsia? That's nice.
Coming off back-to-back excellent performances, the star Miami Heat guard entered Bankers Life Fieldhouse on Thursday night intent on making a statement in Game 6 by putting away the Indiana Pacers in dominating fashion ... an intent he declared with some dominating fashion that stunned even teammate and noted fashionplate LeBron James before the game, according to ESPN's Rachel Nichols :
LeBron: "Damn, for real, those are closeout pants? And the finger sleeve?"
Wade: "You gotta coordinate."
LeBron: "You look like Eddie Murphy in the '80s."
Wade: "Eddie Murphy wishes he looked like me."
I mean, especially now .
It's not a bad goof by LeBron — the simple combination of words "Eddie Murphy in the '80s" is a pretty can't-miss laugh-inducer — but strictly speaking, assuming James is referring to the bright leather suits Murphy rocked for "Delirious" and "Raw," it's not quite accurate. What Wade brought to the arena was actually more of a Chad Johnson/Ochocinco or John Daly look, when you get right down to it, with maybe a bit of "Nashville Star" winner Chris Young thrown in, via that wrist bandana (obviously). If anything, Present-Day Eddie Murphy kind of has more of a Russell Westbrook thing going on, really.
