As we always say, you simply can never go wrong with those Shaqtin’ A Fool segments. Here’s the latest installment from the Diesel.

The Bobcats and Wells Fargo conducted an awesome fan giveaway as Lance Corporal Josh Morgan and his family are clearly shocked and appreciative as they accept a brand new home during the event.

Dunk of the Night
Paul George takes it coast to coast, sizes LeBron up at the three-point line, and then goes right around and over him at the rim for the nasty dunk.

Happy 52nd birthday to Hall of Famer John Stockton! On top of the accolades listed in the graphic, Stockton played in two Finals and was a member of that original Olympic Dream Team in 1992.

Impressive enough of a dunk for anyone. Even more significant when we tell you the young man is only 6’1. Oh yeah, he’s only 15 years old. His name is Seventh Woods, and the tenth grader is currently playing high school ball in South Carolina.
Phenoms of the Night
No, your eyes have not deceived you. That is 7’1 Thon Maker, a 16-year-old with the frame of Kevin Garnett with a swingman’s skills.
Okay, this is just getting ridiculous. No, that isn’t a grown man playing with small children. That is future class of 2020 (yeah, 20-TWENTY) sixth grader Shemar Morrow playing against his peers.
