The Funny, Stupid Thing of the Day
With the first month of 2014 coming to an end, it’s time to look at some of the ridiculousness that occurred in just one month. Here’s some of the best bloopers in the NBA from the month of January.
Kicks of the Day

Warriors’ Harrison Barnes takes a moment to show off his game-day shoes in exclusive fashion. It’s a fine line to make yellow and blue work out for a shoe, but the Warriors found the best combination possible with the help of adidas.
Game-Winners of the Night
We have a two-for-one special going on for game-winners tonight. The first is an absolutely crazy sequence of events as Weber State’s Davion Berry thinks he hits the game-winning three only to watch as Sacramento State’s Dylan Garrity hits an jaw-dropping 70-footer to win the game at the buzzer. Hope people didn’t suffer a heart attack in Sac-Town.
The second shows Milwaukee’s Brandon Knight hitting an ice-cold three to bury the Knicks at the buzzer. We all know Brandon would be doing the Sam Cassell Dance if he wasn’t at risk for being fined.

Not sure what Thunder center Kendrick Perkins is trying to pull off with this outfit as he’s about to go see a show. Hey, if you like it, sport it.
Stat Stuffers of the Night
Clippers’ Blake Griffin: 36 points, 11 rebounds, 4 assists in a 116-115 loss to the Nuggets.
Thunder’s Kevin Durant: 31 points, 8 rebounds, 8 assists in a 86-77 win over the Grizzlies.
Spurs’ Tony Parker: 32 points, 9 assists, 2 blocks, 2 rebounds in a 102-95 win over the Pelicans.
