The Funny, Stupid Thing of the Day

Check out Blazers guard and adidas’ new $100 million man Damian Lillard get a funny promo from Foot Locker. Damian makes the mistake of unintentionally taking shots at some of the greatest athletes who never won a championship. Lillard ends up getting mean-mugged by the likes of Chris Webber, Karl Malone and former NFL running backs LaDainian Tomlinson and Barry Sanders. Nice to see the legends be able to poke fun at themselves.
YouTube of the Day
In honor of the playoffs kicking off in just a couple days, check out this awesome mix of some of greatest moments of the NBA playoffs in the past years. This will definitely give you chills and make you smile.
Buzzer-Beater of the Night
Guard Chris Douglas-Roberts recently caught on with the Bobcats just in time for the playoffs to begin. He’s excited and ready to contribute right away as this game-winning floater shows. Good to see you back in the league getting big buckets, CDR!
Pass of the Night
He may not be fast or have hops, but Wizards guard Andre Miller will be passing until he’s an old man. Check out this brilliant full-court, football pass that catches his teammate Bradley Beal in full stride for the layup plus the foul. Respect must be given to the grizzled veteran Miller after that play.
Ankle-Breaker of the Night
We love Jazz guard Trey Burke’s game here at Basketball Insiders, but Lakers guard Jordan Farmar reminded everyone he’s still a rookie. Farmar’s veteran double-crossover move sent Burke to the floor so fast, Trey had no idea what happened.
Swag of the Day

You can hate Pacers guard George Hill’s shirt if you want. But if you have a woman on your arm like George’s lady, you have the right to wear whatever you want.
Kicks of the Night

Nets guard Marcus Thornton keeps a healthy supply of fresh kicks around at all times. These three make it a tough choice on what to sport. We have to stay safe with the black Jordans.
