CHATSWORTH, CA: Head Coach Stan Van Gundy of the Orlando Magic demonstrates his discontent to a referee during the game against the Los Angeles Clippers at Staples Center on January 9, 2008 in Los Angeles, California.

When asked if he was trying to match Don Nelson of the Warriors, Stan said, "Let's just say this is Hollywood and I needed the money."

CLIPPERS honor HEDO TURKOGLU

TURKEY, LOS ANGELES - Hedo Turkoglu had a plethora of fans, almost a whole section, at a recent Clippers/Magic game.

Memories of the infamous Game 7 of the 2001 European Basketball Championships in Istanbul were heavy among the suits (aka non NBA fans who sit in the $1,500 lower sections who get annoyed by sudden loud noises and bring mace just in case people get rowdy)

NBATV broadcasted Hedo's biggest career moments all day long in his honor. The 1 1/2 minute special was interrupted when it was announced that Britney Spears left the mental ward.

At Staples Center, the always dedicated International fans from Turkey via San Gabriel Valley came out and supported Hedo...



They shouted, ladies threw their panties and all cheered for Hedo wildly all night long....




Block,



after block....




Long Live Hedo and his block party ..and major props to all NBA international role players with bigger and LOUDER fan bases than it's home team.

I LOVE IT!



Oh shit, this is another block, huh?



They Really Love ME!
