Out of Bounds: Jokes and Raps
Out of Bounds sees a Grandpa rap to get LeBron back in Cleveland… Lance Stephenson’s hilarious antics… Karl Towns Jr has giant feet.
The Funny, Stupid Thing of the Day
Check out this hilarious rap by Grandpa M as he tries to convince LeBron James to return to Cleveland. May be a long-shot Grandpa, but we love your enthusiasm and laughable flow.

In a more serious display of rapping skills, Blazers guard Damian Lillard takes a break in beautiful Hawaii and even accepts a rap-off challenge with a lovely lady. This is just a good reason why Dame is living the life right now.
Dunk of the Night
LeBron suffered through a foul-plagued game last night as the Pacers escaped with a Game 5 win, but he did do this nasty act against the rim. Something tells us LeBron will be going for the throat in Game 6 back in Miami. You’ve been warned, Indiana.

Whether he really got in LeBron’s head to help slow him down or not, Pacers guard Lance Stephenson certainly tried his best. Look at this hilarious shot of Lance blowing in LeBron’s ear on a dead ball. LeBron’s reaction is priceless.
Joke of the Night
In another example of Lance being Lance, he calmly sneaks into a HEAT huddle like it’s nothing. You may already have your opinions on “Born Ready” but you can’t deny he makes fans chuckle with his antics.

Just received the largest pair of @nikebasketball shoes we've ever ordered for @KentuckyMBB summer practice. #WeAreUK pic.twitter.com/P5jusdXM9g

While these Nikes are pretty sweet, it’s the size that make us do a double-take. The top Nikes belong to incoming Kentucky freshman center Karl Towns Jr., which beat out the school record for biggest shoes ever at size 20. For comparison, a size 10.5 shoe is also shown. Enjoy that big man that coming to campus next year, Wildcat fans; he won’t be there long.
Buzzer-Beater of the Night
One reason the Pacers were able to come out on top last night, forward Paul George decided to turn into an offensive monster. This example of George nailing this buzzer-beating three to end the third is a good one showing how hot he was last night.
Swag of the Day
Thunder forward Serge Ibaka is back to feeling good and has always been looking good too. Spurs are going to have to find a way to limit this guy’s impact if they want to move on because he has absolutely changed the series.

Out of Bounds: Fun With Jeremy Lin
Out of Bounds sees Jeremy Lin try his hand at getting endorsements… Rasheed Wallace throwback highlights… Meet D’Angelo Allen.
The Funny, Stupid Thing of the Day
Lakers guard Jeremy Lin and his friends are noticing the stars in the NBA are raking in endorsement deals and want in on the action. Check this great spoof of some well-known commercials and we dare you not to laugh. This five minute video is well worth your time and regardless of your opinion of Lin, you have to admit he’s down-to-earth and jumping at the chance to poke fun at himself.
Instagram of the Day
As part of the NBA Fit campaign, former NBA center Dikembe Mutombo lends his famous blocking skills to swatting away unhealthy snacks in favor of a healthy apple. Thanks for the assist Dikembe! We all need you in our kitchen to help us out sometimes.
Cheerleaders of the Night
There’s only one way to live in New York and the Knicks cheerleaders are leading the way by being classy and beautiful.

Um… OK, Martell and Marcin, we’ll have to take your word on this. Let’s all hope both these haircuts meet the scissors before the season kicks off.
Happy Birthday ‘Sheed!
No, this isn’t a fresh sneaker that you may think at first glance. This is actually a birthday cake in honor of the one-and-only Rasheed Wallace. Happy 40th Rasheed!
Rasheed Wallace Highlights
In honor of Rasheed hitting the big 4-0, here’s a great highlight mix of ‘Sheed in his prime. Love him or hate him, there will never be a player as talented and polarizing in the NBA quite like Wallace again.

Wizards guard John Wall owned a recent photo shoot with his swag. Looking good doesn’t even to begin to describe Wall this day.
Next Man Up? Meet D’Angelo Allen
Dallas native forward D’Angelo Allen can be seen balling at Missouri this upcoming season and we know we’re not the only ones really looking forward to him taking the court at the next level. Allen is super athletic with a lot of potential and room for growth that Tigers fans can look forward to blossoming before their eyes.
Kicks of the Day
LeBron James was showing off his new LeBron 12’s at the Cavaliers media day and they certainly look ready for game action right out of the box.

Out Of Bounds: Phenom Saturday Night
We’ve got Jeremy Lin testing out his arm in Dodger white and blue, some incredible phenom mixtapes and “poetry hour” hosted by Nick Young and his son in tonight’s Out of Bounds.
Hilarious Video of the Night
Nick Young was having fun with something he called “Poetry Fridays” via Instagram when his son absolutely stole the show at the end of the clip. H/T BSO for the find.
Instagrams of the Night
Dwight Howard has fun with a local kid at one of his camps.
Michael Carter-Williams gets the crowd revved-up for today’s race!
Phenoms of the Week
Damon Harge Jr. can hoop. Simple as that. Class of 2018, by the way. H/T Dime Mag
If there’s a better leaper than 6’2 Kwe Parker in high school basketball then we’d like to see him…and feature him next week!
Ask, and ye shall receive. Malik Monk, everybody. Class of 2016.

Out of Bounds: Happy Birthdays!
Out of Bounds laughs at Blake Griffin’s take on tearaway pants… Happy Birthday Scottie Pippen… Meet Davon Dillard.
The Funny, Stupid Thing of the Day
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJXP2VISE48
Another addition to Clippers forward Blake Griffin’s hilarious “Slam Dunk Poetry” series features him explaining why tearaway pants are so important to his game. Again, Blake is a man of many talents and humor is definitely one of them.
Dunk of the Day
Rockets center Dwight Howard makes everything look so easy, it’s hard to remember that this a 6’10, 280-pound man getting this high up for the slam. Dwight is simply a different level of human, enjoy him doing stuff like this while you can.
YouTube of the Day
We’ve been on the NBA 2K15 bandwagon all summer waiting for this game to drop and the latest trailer just gets us more excited for it. The best part of this isn’t even the gameplay or the graphics, but the choice to have “What’s the Scenario” by A Tribe Called Quest and Busta Rhymes playing along with it is just too perfect.
Happy Birthday Scottie Pippen!
NBA great Scottie Pippen may unfairly live under Michael Jordan’s shadow, but Scottie is undeniably one of the best NBA players to ever lace them up. We wish Scottie a happy 49th birthday with this famous poster slam. Our apologies to the Oliver Miller fans out there.

Not to be overlooked, the Pelicans will also be rocking some alternate red uniforms next season.
Next Man Up? Meet Davon Dillard
If you pay attention to some of the best historic basketball cities, Gary, Indiana knows how to produce some ball players. The next man who is sure to make a name for himself from there is upcoming Class of 2015 forward Davon Dillard. Dillard is strong, smart and confident; but lets be honest, the kid can flat out ball as he can do a little bit of everything well on the court.

Dwight Howard already is picking out his game day shoes for next season, such as these fine adidas.
Swag of the Day
