So this is probably the weirdest NBA-related video that I've seen in a long time. During a timeout, Atlanta's Josh Smith gets a little too friendly with teammate Mike Bibby. As Hawks' coach Mike Woodson talks to the team, Josh Smith gently touches Bibby's shoulders and head. You definitely see borderline homoerotic stuff in the NBA on the sidelines during timeouts quite a bit, but usually it doesn't seem so affectionate and drawn out. Typically it's just a quick pat on the head or butt, or an arm resting on a teammate's shoulder. Clearly this isn't normal conduct, as Smith's gentle caress eventually makes Bibby uncomfortable, prompting him to push Smith's hand away and say something to the effect of "Stop touching me!"
Upon further inspection of this video, it seems the rest of the Hawks must have been fucking with Bibby, because after he pushes Josh Smith's hand away, Zaza Pachulia picks up right where Smith left off. When the camera angle cuts to a wider shot at the end, Pachulia begins massaging Bibby's shoulder, who looks back at Pachulia in disgust.
