The Funny, Stupid Thing of the Day
Every fan wants a mascot that truly wants to lay it all out for the team. The Spurs’ mascot, Coyote, does just that by trying to draw a charge against Nuggets guard Aaron Brooks and losing his eyes in the process! Coyote played off the malfunction amazingly well in what could have really terrified some of the more younger Spurs fans.
Dunk of the Night
Don’t give Clippers guard Chris Paul a chance to be flashy with the rock. Check this sweet off-the-backboard, alley-oop to the mighty forward Blake Griffin. Blake throws it down with force as the Pelicans’ crowd sadly expected.
Cross-Over of the Night

If we’re talking about flash, you don’t get any flashier than the Lakers guard Nick Young. We’ve giving a lot of love to Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo, but Swaggy P put the rookie in his place with this killer crossover and three-point jumper in his eye.
Cheerleaders of the Day

The Spurs’ Silver Dancers take the cake for best cheerleaders today with this very fine selfie. From their 15-game win streak and these fine ladies on the sideline dancing for you, it’s truly a great time to be a Spurs fan.
Buzzer-Beaters of the Night
We got a two-for-one special going for all you buzzer-beater fans out there. First, Cavs guard Dion Waiters shows he has nerves of steel and the ruthlessness of a ice-cold killer with this incredible pull-up jumper to win the game and send the Pistons and their fans home depressed. What a soul-crushing way to lose a game; Pistons forward Josh Smith didn’t even bother to stick around to see the replay.
The second doesn’t count for as much, but recent D-League call-up Casper Ware showed the 76ers why they should keep him around as he gets a last second steal and nails a half-court shot to beat the buzzer against the Rockets. Keep hitting shots like that and showing the effort, Casper, you’ll find a home in the league for awhile.

Those folks over at Nike sure know how to keep it hot and unique. Check out these awesome Kobe 9 Elites that use all the colors of the rainbow in the best way possible.

Ah, the NBA life can be so sweet. Who wouldn’t like knowing the time of day with this on your wrist all the time? This is just one example of the very fine taste Clippers center DeAndre Jordan has.
