Been doing that for a bit now.

I have been indoctrinated by Ammo’s greatness. Most specifically, his mustache.

That ammo article was very entertaining...

Is it ammo day?

I don't do it for your thanks, I do it because I had a calling, but I do love the support you give me and my Soldiers.

Here's my AMMO haiku

Ammo is not man
Ammo is not of this world
You must fear the ’stache

Everyone in this room is now dumber. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

Adam Morrison has more rings than Lebron, Bosh, and Wade combined?

that scouting report sounds like something 99bc99 would write...

The first thing that you notice about Morrison is his ability to score. He understands how to create his own shot better than anybody we’ve seen at the college level in years. Not only does utilize contact and spacing better than any player in the country, he has also mastered the art of the contested jumpshot.

Of course, it all comes back to instincts. Morrison has two and often three defenders thrown at him for entire games, and he still manages to find a way to score. Not only does he have all these offensive tools, but Morrison exhibits a nearly machine-like ability to recognize defenses and take advantage of whatever he is being given. Take away his dribble drive, and he will spot up. Play him tight, and he will take the ball to the basket all night. Put a big guy on him, and he will get the step. Defend him with a smaller guard, and he will go to work in the post.

Adam Morrison’ ability to read and exploit defenses in the blink of an eye, combined with his formidable shot creating tools allows him to be one of the most feared clutch scorers in the country.

wow.

Haha

wow, that injury really limited him.

LOL

As funny as that all sounds i think he still has some skills to show even tho i always thought JJ’s Game was better suited to the Pro’s. likely because of coach K.

I think this is a perfect time to go back to one of the greatest Fanposts of all time:

Ammo, garbage time specialist. you will be missed.

Salute!

Ammo will be missed

the Lakers would be nowhere without his cheerleading and his mustache and his hot suit in the NBA Finals! He was the LIFE AND SOUL of the team!!!!

I'm a little confused here

About a few things, really.

First, all these people are saying good bye to Adam Morrison? LOL? Hello Laker fans, anybody there? This is the guy that just took the team to the last two championships. Did we forget about threepeats around here?

Secondly, in a weird bit of pre-cog, the guy from DraftExpress basically summerizes Ammo’s impact at the Staples Center with these few lines:

That will to win is just one more thing that sets Morrison apart, and adds to his national appeal. While he sometimes takes his scrappy, fiery demeanor a bit too far, Morrison is always the most competitive player on the court. He will do anything to win, and his emotional on-court displays electrify both his team and the crowd. Not only is he uniquely talented, but his intensity and flair make him the type of unique personality that will always draw people in.

Ding ding ding, we have a winner!

Thirdly, who is this “J.J. Reddick” guy, and why didn’t his parents give him a full first name? Just a J and a dot? Pretty sad.

Fourthly (is that a word?), if you sign D. Fish for some much needed intangibles, I’m not really sure why you guys haven’t picked up on the plethora of tangibles that Ammo brings to the court. Mustache aside, his toughness, grit, and wisdom were the catalyst for Kobe Bryant’s amazing come back. Seriously, after several years of lackluster play, and following a crushing defeat by a team from back East, Ammo and his work ethic so inspired Kobe Bryant that the Kobester has rebounded to assist Ammo in winning the last two championships. Klose? no. Ammonihilated…

Fifthly, my upcoming fanpost, The Transcendental Greatness of Adam John Morrision, has been sanctioned by the league, the Lakers organization, and UNICEF. Like he’s leaving.

Finally, to all the haters, a little anagram crafted from “Adam Morrision”. It goes a little like this:
RAD AM I MORONS.

That’s right, Ammo is rad… and he has one question for you…

For me its the consistent inconsistency that concerns me - PAGFL
