What was that all about, Bill ?

In my book, you are still the greatest of all-time and I have specific reasons why I think that. Guess he can do what he wants - maybe it was a private joke ?

BTW, What the hell was that trick-or-treat outfit that Harden felt it necessary to wear tonite ?

Do people say “flip off” or “ flick off” when referring to the middle finger?

I have always been "flipped" but I have no idea if that is right or not. It may be regional, who knows.

Hilarious. Bill can do whatever he wants.

Also, the funniest part of that clip is the cameraman not knowing which old guy is Elgin Baylor.

Flick off was the term I heard growing up in upstate New York, although I haven’t heard it anywhere else I’ve lived.

I'm from what must be a different part of upstate NY because it was always "flip off" here. Though we also liked "shoot the bird" which is very Celtics appropriate.

Did they call hamburgers steamed hams in your neck of the woods too?

No, those were still hamburgers.

And “flip the bird” was an alternate term.

I believe there is an alternate theory worth chasing.

GOAT wasn't flipping the bird to Charles...he was just telling him which finger to wear his NBA champion ring on...

...oh wait....
