when are man hugs ok, and when are they just awkward?

let's use nba examples to help us in this journey or learning

not ok:



there are subtle cues that say its ok to hug me, or please don't touch me, I'm not that comfortable around you

I wanted to make a joke about Pierce and LeBron, so I typed "Pierce LeBron hug" in google images.

I found this:

In the summer of 2017, I predicted this team would not win a championship for the next 10 years.

3 down, 7 to go.

Anytime this guy is involved, I'm all for giving the man-hug the green light:

I can't believe I couldn't find a pic on google of the patented McHale/Walton high-five/hug combo.  Always awkward, always uncoordinated, always a good time.

The first thing I thought was "It's ok when they were going to go for the butt slap, but decided not to"

Then I got to thinking

When is it ok for the man hug?

We need some serious Miller roundtable discussions on this.

Think about it. The high five is played out. What do we do? Personally I find the fist pump a very good potential replacement.

But as for man hugs I present the following as the only appropriate times

You are trying to show a hot chick you are really comfortable with your masculinity cause you know she digs that

You are a college team that has just beaten the Soviets in Olympic hockey

You have thrown a no-hitter

You broke some sort of major record

You just got out of jail (ironically)

You just won a large amount of money

You just won a championship

You thought the guy was a hot chick and you just made an honest once in a lifetime mistake and you will be more careful from now on

That's about it

This makes me think in this one
What if youre saying kiss hi to a round group of beautifull ladies who are sitted
and u ure getting down to say hi  and give each one a kiss
and u are in the momentum saying hi fast
and sudenly one of the kissed girls is a guy who is staring at you like

MAN WHAT YOU JUST DONE!

remember it was just a momentum thing when your unconcious never realize he was a guy and
inside yyour head he was  a she sitted with the others and was benefit with a unharmfull kiss in the cheek...lol

True Story

i am just not going to say who did it...
