The Silly, Funny Video of the Week
Not one of Deron Williams’ finest moments, but some thing that has happened to the best of them. Check out Williams catch the inbound pass and come to within an inch of absolutely posterizing John Wall and Trevor Ariza just before halftime of today’s game. The rim had other plans.

Nice of Matt Barnes to show teammate Blake Griffin some love on Instagram for his birthday. Respect to DJ Quik playing the background.

Whether Knicks fans are celebrating rookie Tim Hardaway Jr.’s birthday, their recent six-game streak or the impending arrival of Phil Jackson, chances are there will be some celebrating in New York City tonight.

Swaggy P even shows his son a birthday shout out on Instagram. Absolutely adorable at two years old today.

Rumble the Bison does it all in OKC. Watch him navigate through traffic while stealing popcorn, high-fiving and entertaining Thunder fans in the stands all the way.
Dunks of the Week

Enes Kanter goes around Blake Griffin and takes it baseline to dunk it right over the top of DeAndre Jordan, and that’s only the #9 dunk on this week’s list. Definitely worth the watch.

Must have been quite the experience for Gator alum Al Horford to watch his Gators win the SEC tournament and earn the overall #1 seed in the upcoming NCAA Tournament.
