The Funny, Stupid Thing of the Day
We really hope that isn’t the little boy’s father because this is borderline child abuse. While very degrading, it’s also pretty hilarious to see a grown man busting all the moves out of the book against this bewildered child.
YouTube of the Day
It’s time to get pumped for Thursday for the NBA Finals. This fan does his best to help you get excited for what will surely be an incredible series and rematch of last year’s Finals.
Top Plays of the Conference Finals
While you’re getting pumped up, don’t forget to look back at some of the best plays made in the Western and Eastern Conference Finals. It’s safe to say the HEAT and the Spurs will be delivering more in the last series of the season.

Yo @kevinlove if you need advice on moving from Minnesota to Boston just let me know #CityOfChamps

Timberwolves forward Kevin Love made a visit to Boston just like anyone can, however, that didn’t stop the city from going crazy with speculation and excitement. One fan caught a lucky photo of Love meeting up with Celtics guard Rajon Rondo and Red Sox slugger David Ortiz tweeted this. This may all be much ado about nothing, but Celtics fans will take anything to get pumped for the future and the prospect of Love coming to town is certainly a good reason.
High School Highlight Mix of the Day
Junior high school guard Damontrae “Trae” Jefferson out of Believe Prep in Milwaukee may only stand 5’7” according to ESPN (and that may be generous), but this young man can ball against everyone out there on the court. This mix shows Jefferson killing people with his crossovers, dimes, deep threes and even getting up for some dunks. If you’re a mid-major fan of the college game, keep a look out for Jefferson; New Mexico, UC Irvine and Cleveland State have already offered him for his services.
Kicks of the Day

These KD 7’s “USA” kicks won’t be on the shelves until June 28th, but you can be sure there’s going to be a line out the door to get these bad-boys.
Swag of the Day

When you’re basketball royalty like LeBron James, you have no excuse but to be the best dressed one in the room. LeBron routinely accepts that challenge and wins every time.
