Marcin Gortat is a fine NBA player. Heâs been one of the NBAâs best screeners for about a decade; before a relatively recent age-related decline in athleticism he was an underrated defender and rim protector; heâs a wizard at timing his movement towards the hoop to preserve and maximize the narrow passing lanes thatâŚ
Wizards center Marcin Gortat is a little more outspoken online than the average athlete. For instance, thereâs the time he discussed the benefits of a porn subscription. So when someone told Gortat he was acting like a dick at a bar last night, the NBA player responded.
It is a good thing that Marcin Gortat is a goofy-ass guy with funny hair, who chills watching porn on Saturday night, and has a humvee and pig to play with, because this is the kind of dunk that could ruin a man without a balanced perspective on life.
You'll recall last week, when Washington Wizards center Marcin Gortat unveiled his hard-ass new mohawk 'do and transformed instantaneously from an affable Euro dude into a terrifying Death-Slav from hell. Well, it appears that Street Fighter-based coiffures are becoming A Thing on the Wizards: Check out Gortat'sâŚ
All in all, Marcin Gortat is a pretty good NBA center. He's big, he's strong, he's got pretty nimble feet for his size. He sets devastating screens, he's an outstanding finisher rolling to the hoop, he's generally OK at being in the right place defensively. He also happens to be a ludicrously enormous and quiteâŚ
Marcin Gortat's go-to move for public appearances is driving a Humvee. In June, Gortat rode into his basketball camp in Poland manning the enormous gun mounted on a Humvee. Earlier today, he uploaded a video to Instagram that shows him driving another Humvee, this time with Usain Bolt ( THE CHAMP) in the powerâŚ
Some random dude on Twitter openly mused about how Marcin Gortat could afford premium porn after his new $60 million deal with Washington. The Wizards center could have easily ignored the tweet, but instead, he went that extra mile to talk to his fans. About porn.
Marcin Gortat was in Poland to make an appearance at his basketball camp today, and he rolled into the gym in style. Which is to say, he arrived manning the pant-shittingly large gun turret of a military vehicle.

Hey, get out of there, Marcin Gortat! That's not your team. Maybe he just really likes huddles.
Kyle Weidie has a fun Q&A with Marcin Gortat (outtakes here), and the Polish center was asked about rule changes he'd like to see in the NBA. In the lighthearted spirit of the interview, he offered up that basketball could stand to be a little more like hockey.
It's really not fair that Kevin Durant can do stuff like this. His uncanny combination of size and shooting touch would be enough to carry him to a Hall of Fame career on its own.

Reebok belatedly discovers that they gave a shoe contract to a white guy with an "Air Jordan" tattoo on his leg. To be fair, it was Marcin Gortat, and no one wanted to look that closely. [Skeets]
