The Funny, Stupid Thing of the Day
Shaqtin’ a Fool is back again by the guys at Inside the NBA on TNT. This edition features some really bone-headed passes by both the good and the really bad teams in the NBA. We think it’s just time to start the playoffs already.
Play of the Night
We love Stephen Curry of the Warriors, but he probably should have just gone with the layup on that. In typical Curry fashion, however, he turned his embarrassing mistake into gold by hitting the three afterwards. Just goes to show how the Lakers can’t catch any breaks this year.
Instagram of the Day

When Raptors forward Amir Johnson isn’t grabbing rebounds or playing tough defense, it’s clear he’s having nothing but fun. Amir spent the day with fans at the Medieval Center, where they knighted him for his presence.
Dunk of the Night
Cavaliers forward Alonzo Gee shows off his power as he packs in a dunk on two Celtics defenders for the and-one. Nice try, but we think it’s time to hit the weight room if you want to challenge Gee like that.
Shot of the Night
Anybody know how Nuggets guard Evan Fournier hit this shot? Yeah, we don’t either, but it’s brilliant. Falling down, no-look, flip-shot backwards is the definition of a circus shot.

Jordan Farmar knows how to dress up for a night on the town. Classy, simple style has never been frowned upon.

Rockets forward Chandler Parsons may be a Texan now, but he’s always a Florida Gator at heart. You don’t get anymore Florida then these, Chandler lets people know where he’s from even when he’s walking around.
