The Funny, Stupid Thing of the Day
Check out this hilarious rap by Grandpa M as he tries to convince LeBron James to return to Cleveland. May be a long-shot Grandpa, but we love your enthusiasm and laughable flow.
Dunk of the Night
LeBron suffered through a foul-plagued game last night as the Pacers escaped with a Game 5 win, but he did do this nasty act against the rim. Something tells us LeBron will be going for the throat in Game 6 back in Miami. You’ve been warned, Indiana.
Vine of the Night
Whether he really got in LeBron’s head to help slow him down or not, Pacers guard Lance Stephenson certainly tried his best. Look at this hilarious shot of Lance blowing in LeBron’s ear on a dead ball. LeBron’s reaction is priceless.
Joke of the Night
In another example of Lance being Lance, he calmly sneaks into a HEAT huddle like it’s nothing. You may already have your opinions on “Born Ready” but you can’t deny he makes fans chuckle with his antics.
Kicks of the Day
Just received the largest pair of @nikebasketball shoes we've ever ordered for @KentuckyMBB summer practice. #WeAreUK pic.twitter.com/P5jusdXM9g

While these Nikes are pretty sweet, it’s the size that make us do a double-take. The top Nikes belong to incoming Kentucky freshman center Karl Towns Jr., which beat out the school record for biggest shoes ever at size 20. For comparison, a size 10.5 shoe is also shown. Enjoy that big man that coming to campus next year, Wildcat fans; he won’t be there long.
