Out of Bounds: Sunshine on the Court

The Funny, Stupid Thing of the Day

Recently acquired guard Jeremy Lin of the Lakers sure has faced a lot of criticism and pressure the last couple years, which will surely still be there in Los Angeles next year. Lucky for Jeremy, he’s got a few great friends who take it upon themselves to keep him in a good mood. Even if Jeremy is confused by the whole process in this hilarious video.

Dunk of the Day

Light work.

Magic rookie Aaron Gordon just makes dunking look too easy. His post “Light Work” may be true for Aaron, but for everybody else these dunks are the stuff of dreams.

Instagram of the Day

Nothing better than visiting with my sons.

They may have only been in Lexington for a year, but Kings center DeMarcus Cousins and Pelicans forward Anthony Davis aren’t about to forget their Kentucky roots and coach John Calipari who helped get them to the NBA.

YouTube of the Day

When you think of Alabama, football is the first thing that comes to mind, not basketball. However, NBA stars like Cousins and free agent guard Eric Bledsoe have shown there’s some serious talent down south too. Led by Bledsoe as their coach, Team Birmingham managed to knock off the Ball Up professional streetball team that was previously undefeated on this summer’s tour. With the pure athleticism that can be found in Alabama, they’re a state to keep an eye on the court going forward.

Block of the Day

Not in @andredrummondd's paint! #USABMNT

Warriors forward Draymond Green thought he had an easy slam while participating in Team USA’s practice. Then, Pistons center Andre Drummond erased that thought real quick with this full extension block. Drummond is one of the many talented, young NBA players who is looking to blow up next year in the NBA with plays like this.

Kicks of the Day

Check out James Harden's #USAkicks!

There’s a ton of serious footwear being represented at Team USA’s practices and one of our favorites has to be Rockets guard James Harden’s Nike Zoom Run’s in America’s colors.

Next Man Up? Meet KeVaughn Allen

Doesn’t it seem that Florida consistently adds really athletic and sweet-shooting guards? Yeah, we thought so too and the next in line is KeVaughn Allen out of Little Rock. Allen is a winner who lays it all out on the line. It doesn’t hurt that the 6’3 guard has some serious bounce and a nice shooting stroke to help his team too. Coach Billy Donovan is smiling that he’s adding a Bradley Beal lookalike for the 2015 season.
