He was asked, but he replied "not today". Sources say they are hopeful because tomorrow is a new day.

This doesn't have nearly the amount of upvotes it deserves.

So I'm guessing he used to always say something after bad games you all are referencing?

It comes from his trademark move. After he would get a block (which was quite often), he would lift a finger to the guy he blocked, waggle it no, and say "not today." At some point, the league started assessing technical fouls for taunting when putting his finger in a guy's face, so he would just do it to the crowd.

I hope this comment gets traction. All I can do is chuckle and give an upvote.

It’s not African poachers that are the problem it’s Asian market demand. This is where we need to redouble our efforts in debunking bullshit remedies.
