Make sure you get some humor in your day by checking out the latest Shaqtin’ the Fool courtesy of the Inside the NBA crew at TNT. The Rockets manage to get two on the list, including Chandler Parsons getting beamed in the face by his own teammate after falling down.

In honor of the first big day of the NCAA Tournament, check this top-25 list of some of the best upsets over the years. While we all can argue for days on the order or which ones got left out, just take some time and feel nostalgic by watching this mix.
Dunk of the Night
After being the butt of poster dunk jokes for years, Nuggets center Timofey Mozgov finally stood up to say he’s had enough of it. Sorry, Josh Smith, but the Pistons forward got caught on the wrong end of Mozgov’s vicious slam.

These are a pretty awesome choice by Timberwolves point guard Ricky Rubio. The adidas’ Crazy Light 3’s are made even better with the black and blue color scheme.
Dime of the Night
Always feels good to catch the champs off guard. Celtics point guard Rajon Rondo is an expert at such things as he fakes out nearly the whole HEAT team before dishing off a sweet pass to the cutting Jeff Green for the easy layup.
