Anybody see Lakers’ Nick Young sorta throw a couple punches at some Suns last night? Well this meme clearly shows Young’s teammate and former Suns’ player Kendall Marshall as he keeps his distance from the action. Way to stick up for your man Kendall! Funnier still, Young actually liked this on Instagram.

I’m sure you remember the filthy block Pacers’ Roy Hibbert had on Knicks’ Carmelo Anthony last year in the playoffs? Well, Melo clearly didn’t get enough of what Hibbert served him as he went for seconds only to be denied again in a near replica of the first. Think before you drive Melo, think before you drive.
