You will not see this very often.

When it comes to the internet, you have to do something universally reviled in order to have an off chance that people won't endlessly debate it. Any sort of coalescence of opinion is an absolute rarity. People argue on the internet, usually in pretty incoherent terms. It's just what happens. It's just how stuff goes down on the cloud.

So when you have FOUR PAGES of comments where everyone is just agreeing with each other like civil-minded human beings, you know something is seriously wrong.

That being said, I present to you one of the most obvious travels in the history of the NBA.



You may have noticed that this play was awarded "Play of the Day" by NBA.com. Let's see what people think about that.

(Skip past them, and I'll save you some time.)





All but about 3 of these comments are expressing varying levels of disgust at the blatancy with which Josh Smith (J-Smoove) takes about nine steps before dunking on the helpless Kris Humphries.

The NBA has long been lambasted for its dichotomous traveling policy. Traveling is either called or isn't, depending on how referees feel. Does that count as dichotomous? I just really wanted to use lambasted and dichotomous in a single sentence.

Anyway, the NBA public relations people should probably get to beating whoever chose this as play of the day with some sort of sharp object. Because that's how the Sterninator gets down.
