The Silly, Funny Video of the Night

While no one likes seeing people get hurt, some of these basketball fails and crashes are just too funny not to laugh at.

Ankle-BREAKER Video of the Night

Some of these ankle-breakers from 2013-14 are just plain criminal. Uncle Drew has a few of the filthiest, but there are plenty of others by James Harden, Chris Paul and Deron Williams (among others) throughout this clip.

Toronto’s Amir Johnson reminded his IG followers of this flashback moment from him throwing out the ceremonial first pitch before opening day for the Blue Jays in 2013. He was promptly asked to come out and actually pitch for the Blue Jays today by some of those that left comments.

In case you missed Amir Johnson’s actual first pitch results from 2013…let’s just say those fans may want to reconsider asking Johnson to take the mound!

The Miami HEAT conducted a really cool scavenger hunt with fans before today’s game where they placed those kicks AND a couple of tickets to their game vs. the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Carlos Boozer is taking you back with some MJ swag via his IG today.

To say DeMarcus Cousins has quite the collection of sneakers might be a bit of an understatement. From Jordan’s, to Penny’s, to KD’s, Cousins has it all.

Love For Lillard

Not only has Dame Lillard been great on the court, but his IG feed is one of the coldest in the league. From kicks, to gear, to moments with legends and fellow stars like this picture with Hall of Famer Gary Payton, Lillard is on top of his game.
