Out Of Bounds

Out Of Bounds: Riverwalk Parade

Hilarious Clips of the Day

While this wasn’t from today’s championship parade, check out the little shimmy Gregg Popovich does from a previous celebration.

A softer side of Popovich, clearly.

Tweet of the Night

“Take that, take that” or “We want some NASTY!”…we couldn’t decide.

Looks like Boris Diaw and Tony Parker kicked off today’s festivities in San Antonio.

Meanwhile, there’s an ‘Easy Money Sniper’ on the loose, and it looks as though he’s crossed scuba diving off his list.

Some folks are both cruel and hilarious with their comments…but technically, he’s still the real MVP as well.

You have to enjoy the fun-loving side of Swaggy P…which is pretty much everything about him.

Some of y’all have far too much time on your hands. That said, fair or not, this was pretty funny.

Phenom of the Night

Jalen Brunson has a killer crossover and some deceptive moves for a high school senior. As always, S/O to the Ball Is Life crew for putting together some of the finest mixtapes around.

On This Day…

On this day in 1985, the New York Knicks selected Pat Ewing with the first pick in the inaugural NBA Draft Lottery.

Flashback Video of the Night

The current trend of disrespecting former players without rings may be the thing to do for some, but Patrick Ewing was still a beast during his time. One of the many greats that suffered from a condition better known as “I played during Jordan’s prime.”

Perry Jones checks in again, but this time it looks like he’s doing some one-on-one drills with one of the youth.
