Or a game of 2k11.

Or in the club.

actually, i saw a documentary on lewd rap lyrics and the appeal of "hardcore" rappers...

calling another man a BAN is a trend in black culture...

and being "manly" and not "womanly" is a tradition in America, overall...

so, i'd say the NBA player's use of the BAN phrase could be attributed to America's hyper-masculinity AS WELL AS rap/black culture's overall mysogenistic uber-offensive nature....

I don't have the slightest idea what's being discussed in this thread. BAN stands for something?

If this is what I think it is then I call this out after grabbing a shot/layup out the air from someone.

"gimme that BAN!"

If it's not then I'm confused.
