The Funny, Stupid Thing of the Day

Too cute or too funny? We say both. This adorable girl may not have been around in Allen Iverson’s day, but she has already mastered his infamous “practice” rant with spot-on hilarious results.
Vine of the Day
Speaking of adorable little kids, Wizards point guard Andre Miller is already getting his son schooled on how to train like an NBA veteran. Keep up the practice young man, Andre knows his stuff.
Fail of the Day
By the look of this first pitch by Charles Barkley at a recent Cubs game, we wouldn’t be surprised if Chuck never threw a baseball in his life. We still love you, Charles, at least you tried to throw the full distance.
Dunks of the Day
Former Arizona State point guard Jahii Carson owned the 2014 Stratco Patios Dunk Contest of the NBL (National Basketball League) with his variety of dunks, which were even more impressive considering he only stands 5’10. NBA GMs, please get this young man in the NBA ASAP.
Ankle-Breaker of the Night
Trey Songz may be a talented singer, but he should know better then to try to play man defense against streetball legend Bone Collector. The end result? Bone Collector puts Trey on the floor with not one, but two “Nutmeg” crossover moves before getting to the cup.
Swag of the Night

Big shout-out to the big Pacers big man Roy Hibbert for tying the knot recently and much to the joy of his former and current Pacers teammates. The most swagged out of all these classy gentleman? Coach Frank Vogal in the middle, no question.
