Hilarious Video of the Night

Easy to see why Gasol hasn’t just been a fan-favorite, but is liked by generally all that he interacts with. That said, no matter how nice of a guy, it will ALWAYS be funny seeing a seven-footer crank out a karaoke version of The Fray. Pau, you are the best.

Of course Jamal Crawford put up 51 in today’s game, because that’s what he does…gets buckets.

Newly re-signed Kyle Lowry is having fun at Las Vegas Summer League as he ‘flips the script’ and does a bit of interviewing for a few laughs on behalf of NBA TV.

Kyrie Irving hasn’t stopped smiling all summer. He re-signed for $90 million, the Cavs drafted Andrew Wiggins and brought in a guy you may have heard of before. Kyrie may never frown again, and we couldn’t blame him.

Durant checks in from a KD7 release in Santa Monica.

The Lakers expressed their appreciation of Pau Gasol once the Spaniard announced he was heading to Chicago for a chance to play alongside Derrick Rose, Joakim Noah and a nice core they’re developing in Chicago.
