The Official Top 10 Gorguis

It’s been an incredibly tough few weeks for Louisville basketball. Loosing five of seven and having nearly the whole team injured in some way, shape or form has taken a toll not only on the players but on the fans as well.

One of the few mainstay’s in the ever changing, injury plagued line up has been without question the team’s most improved and arguably most loveable player, Gorgui Dieng.

Any Louisville fan knows that Gorgui has been a world traveler and is loved by all. In his short time in the states, he has found himself in some truly amazing pictures.

Mike has made reference to his top 10 favorite Gorgs in the past, and I feel in this tough time for Louisville basketball, there is no better way to lift our collective spirits than looking at my official Top 10 Gorgs.

Let’s have some fun.

Honorable Mention #3- pregame Stoic Gorgs:

Gorgui-dieng_medium

A solid Gorgs silhouette, but not quite making the cut.

Honorable Mention #2- Point Guard Gorgs:

Who doesn’t love them some 6-11 point guard play?

Honorable Mention #1- Smiling Press Conference Gorgs:

20101226hcpitinoandfrcdiengpreviewmorganstate120_medium

It’s almost as nice as Smiling Chuck, but it seems to lack Charlie Strong’s sheer badass factor.

#10- Dwight Howard Gorgs:

Sydieng_medium

Need I say more? This is pretty sweet.

#9- You Mad, Bro? Gorgs:

806118_medium

Don’t ask Gorgui questions he doesn’t want to hear. He will quickly give you the "You mad, bro" look.

#8- Feeding time Gorgs:

040311_kylekuricdunkcontest_jz_011_medium

This would be number one if he had a napkin tucked into his shirt collar and an absurdly large plate of food.

#7- Neck Brace Gorgs:

I've been struggling endlessly to try and get this picture to load but it won't cooperate (ED. note: I got it.) It might be for the better to never see this Gorg again. This one was just debuted last week, and while it is clearly not a welcome sight for Louisville fans, it’s still kind of adorable.

#6- Nervous Gorgs:

628x471_medium

When Gorgui gets nervous, he violently chews on his jersey. Russ is clearly not fazed by whatever he is witnessing on the floor.

#5- Beanie Baby Gorgs:

Dsc_0134_medium_medium

Is there anything more loveable? He is a monster when he sends shots back in players faces, but based on this picture alone, if I had kids I would totally trust him to baby sit and play with them.

#4- Innertube Gorgs:

Innertube-gorgui_medium

Oh Gorgs, He wants to have fun

Oh Gorgs just wants to have

That's all he really wants
Some fun
When the working day is done
Gorgs - He wants to have fun
Oh Gorgs just wants to have fun,
He wants to have fun,
He wants to have fun

#3- Stuck In A Closet Gorgs:

Gorgui-sy-deing_bmp_medium

I’m not entirely sure what to even say about this. That said, it is clearly amazing.

#2- Ladies Man Gorgs:

60893_686811736994_38307304_38057071_2821834_n_medium

Tough life he’s got with four beautiful women on his arms. This is how it should always be for a man with the stature and presence of Gorgui.

#1- Beach Gorgs:

Screen_shot_2011-08-10_at_12

As if there were any doubt this would be number one. If Gorgui and Kyle aren’t best friends, I won’t know what to believe anymore.

Anyway, Beach Gorgs was a runaway lock in my mind at least. Lets hope that this top 10 (or top 13) brings not only Gorgui, but the rest of the boys some luck tonight.

Go Cards, Beat Pitt.

Fool's names are like their faces, often seen in public places.

Inexcusable.

Dunkin’ Gorgs doesn’t even make the honorable mentions? TOTALLY TOP 5 GORGS.

fantastic

Such a weird but effective way to bring smiles to our faces! Plus who wouldn’t take gorgui over Howard, come on

#9 One of my favs

#6 Russ is thinking “I would’ve made that shot”

#3 Never seen before but cute

#5 A movie about Gorgui as a nanny (manny?) would be so awesome

#5

I could see remaking the 80’s smash hit the nanny and scrapping that corpse Hulk Hogan and replacing him with a younger, more spry and adorable Gorgui

Isn't the chick in the bottom right Kuric's girlfriend?

Sure looks like her. IS THIS WHY THE TEAM DOESN’T GET ALONG!? Quick, we need 6 fan posts giving opinions on this! Is the team chemistry fixable? Are they still dating? Is it Pitino’s fault? Does Gorgui have a girlfriend? Would she have gone after Gorgui if Wayne wasn’t fat? Are Gorgui and Kyle even friends? We need answers! Now! ~

You mad bro Gorgs is my favorite.

Conspiracy theorists: GO!

Also, I saw Fat Wayne on Courtside with RP today. He’s not fat at all but I’ll never stop calling him that

A friend works with UL's international athletes and told me that

Gorgui was given a copy of one of Pitino’s books when he first got here and Gorgui just devoured every page of it even though people repeatedly told him that he didn’t have to read it. He responded with surprise at their suggestions and reminded them it was his coach who wrote the book.

Gorgs is THE MAN!

This post is great! Gotta love these Cards!

Go! Cards!

This has nothing to do with Gorgui

But that reminds me of the South Park where R Kelly was singing about Tom Cruise being stuck in a closet

OK

1) the point guard Gorgs pic is totally badass
2) neck brace Gorgs… I need one of those jackets ASAP

by KyleKuricManCrush on Jan 22, 2012 12:27 PM EST reply actions  

ladies man Gorgui

The girl in the blue is Gorgui’s girlfriend and the one in the black in Kyle’s girlfriend. Gorgui and Kyle’s girls are friends and the other two girls are friends with the girl in blue. I have seen all of them together at games.
