The Funny, Stupid Thing of the Day
In what is becoming a real fan favorite, Jimmy Kimmel just sits back and lets the laughs come to him as he has NBA stars read some of the meanest tweets they can find. Seriously, there’s no reason to be making fun of Warriors guard Stephen Curry’s facial hair and teeth. The man is one of the nicest people in the NBA and you reach for a low-hanging diss like that? Step your game up, hater.

Spurs coach Gregg Popovich and forward Tim Duncan may have their own families, but they are the ultimate power couple in the game. Major props to some of the best you’ll ever see at their respective positions as they get to celebrate being champions at least one more time.
Highlights From Game 5
There’s no reason why you should miss an elimination game of the Finals, but if you did or simple want to relive this glorious victory by the Spurs, here’s some of the top highlights from last night.
Spurs Post-Game Celebration
Whether you’re a fan of the Spurs or not, it’s always great to see men climb to the ultimate mountain top and transform into happy little kids for just a moment.
Rejection of the Night
In classic Spurs fashion, the newly minted kings of the NBA did it with team-ball and defense. Just one example is forward Tiago Splitter denying HEAT guard Dwyane Wade by slapping his shot attempt off the backboard. Get that weak stuff outta here, D-Wade!

You already know Lakers guard Kobe Bryant is a rabid soccer fan, so you know he’s making the rounds in Rio to catch all the action. Here’s the Black Mamba shaking hands with FIFA president Joseph Blatter before the match between Germany and Portugal.
Next Big Thing? Meet Daniel Hamilton
What is it about UCONN just constantly reloading with smooth, athletic shooters every year? Next in line is Los Angeles native Daniel Hamilton who just looks like a natural Husky.

Clippers forward Blake Griffin knows how to pick Jordan’s. You can expect these on Blake’s feet next year as he looks to take the next big step in an already impressive young career.
