One NBA Finals thought
Hedo Turkoglu commits an offensive foul every time he brings the ball up court or drives to the basket. And that's not a bad joke about the quality of his play. He's a talented player, but he leads with his right elbow as he drives with his left hand dribbling the ball. He frequently pushes off with his elbow and then will use that elbow to get tangled up with his defender and get bailed out with a foul call. But he should be the one the refs call foul on. You just can't lead with your elbow. Other players do push off, but they do it subtly with their hands and at least try to hide it. Hedo's not subtle.

I couldn't agree more. I was (almost) hoping that the series would come back to LA, so that when he was introduced I could yell "The Elbow" between his first and last names as he was being introduced so it would come out Hedo "The Elbow" Turkoglu.
For that matter, I wanted to do a similar thing for Superman so his intro would come out Dwight "The BIG Elbow" Howard.
