Stephen Curry

Martellus Bennett
"Broadcasting live now! See me at http://www.ustream.tv/channel/moonshine-kids-b telling jokes"

How I See It: Telling jokes? Ok, I have a good one: the Dallas Cowboys will be a Super Bowl contender next season. That one should get you some laughs.

Ndamukong Suh
"Vegas baby so much fun lookin forward to tonight, X/S should be crazy wit the boys"

How I See It: Nothing quite like staring at your cabinet trying to decide what to have for dinner for 30 minutes only to realize that pasta is the only thing in there.

Rey Maualuga
"Where is Cincinnati Gardens"

How I See It: Firstly, I hope that's a beer garden otherwise Rey is no longer welcome back at USC. Secondly, Rey, you have a million billion dollars. If your car doesn't have a built in navigation system, there's this thing called the Internet where you can look up any destination and it tells you how to get there. Genius stuff really.

Jeff Green
"@jHARD13 dude i am about to cry..this is bad if we lose...if it wasnt for these baby e-trade commercials ill be going insane lol"

How I See It: The biggest tragedy of all this is actually the E-Trade baby commercials! The new baby is an impostor, and just makes my bracket pain even worse. I hate March Madness.

Shaun Phillips
"About to check out this clippers game. Yes yes of course I'm Spiked out about to trip this referee. Ill be next to the clippers bench."
