The Funny, Stupid Thing of the Night
Shaqtin’ the Fool by the Inside the NBA guys at TNT is always a good way to start the night. This clip shows some really atrocious passes that earned a few NBA players a spot on the bench and their coach shaking their head in bewilderment.
YouTube of the Night
In honor of one of the baddest big men to ever step on the court, here’s a great highlight mix of recent Hall of Fame inductee Alonzo Mourning. Nobody messed with ‘Zo whether he was terrifying the block in the 90’s with the Hornets or being the tough, veteran leader helping the HEAT to their first championship. Alonzo rightfully goes down as one of the best and intimating centers of his era.
Dunks of the Night
We have a 2-for-1 deal with dunks of the night for you to enjoy. The first is Clippers center DeAndre Jordan putting a nasty slam right on top of Lakers center Jordan Hill’s head for the and-one. Next, rookie sensation Michael Carter-Williams of the 76ers shows off his multiple skills of grabbing the rebound, going full court, and getting the dunk against a pitiful Nets defense.
