From Ball Don't Lie (via Real Clear Sports via YouTube via ESPN via Rip Hamilton's mouth) comes the clip of Hamilton ending a sideline interview last night with Michele Tafoya with a "yes" followed by the gender-based honorific of "sir". SHUCKABLE SHUCKS! It's funny because Tafoya is a woman says Captain Obvious of the Third Self-Evident Battalion in a message via carrier pigeon from the front.
Actually, it's just a popular affirmation in hip-hop culture. You might have heard Lupe Fiasco use it a couple squillion times. Or maybe you haven't because you haven't been ordained as a minister at KRS-ONE's Temple of Hip-Hop, located in his head. Only until then shall you be tricked into thinking Michele Tafoya is a man.
Oh wait. It's Tafoya. Nevermind.

I knew Ufford didn't write this the second I saw the name Lupe.
Oh Ape, you are The Coolest.
Yessir
I believe the "Yes, Sir!" thing is a shout-out to Rip's hometown of Coatesville, PA.
That ape Tafoya couldn't carry Pam Oliver's jog-bra.
"Or maybe you haven't because you don't haven't been ordained as a minister at KRS-ONE's Temple of Hip-Hop, located in his head. Only until then shall you be tricked into thinking Michelle Tafoya is a man."
Ouch man…my head hurts.
And Tafoya is a woman? Sure as Hell fooled me : (
This is totally staged, I can't believe you guys fell for this. Rip Hamilton is the guy who wears the face mask!
In Rip’s defense, every woman in Detroit has a penis.
i worked as a production assistant for a TV show once, and called the woman producer Sir, It went over o.k. on set. I was never called to work again, but it went o.k. on set
Hey — she is a handsome woman!
Michelle Tafoya's so nabby that she makes me want to look for and view nude pictures of Adam Savage. Oh, Sweet…. Lucky Break….
Note to self: Purchase new retinas.
Put a lid on it meido97.
I guess they all look the same to Rip
The girlies are freeeeeee, 'cause the crack costs money…
OH YEAH!
That's just Rip being Rip.
lol, Lupe Fiasco DOES say "yessir" all the time. He's still the shit though.
