The Funny, Stupid Thing of the Day
Check out this hilarious mix of some of the funny bloopers and awesome dunks from this past season.
Dunk of the Day
McBob on the attack! Who just shook their head after watching Bobcats forward Josh McRoberts do this to HEAT center Chris Andersen? Usually, “The Birdman” sends this to the popcorn man; but McRoberts finished this dunk with so much authority, Andersen really regretted the decision to jump.
Crossover of the Day
The Bobcats may have lost today against the HEAT, but Kemba Walker made sure to give the HEAT a few good shots while he could. Check out this clean crossover and three-point jumper Kemba lays on HEAT forward James Jones.
Trick Shot of the Day
This may have not happened in a game, but this is impressive no less. Mavericks guard Monta Ellis took some time in shoot-around to work on his trick shots, which include this backwards three-pointer. Monta sinks the shot gracefully and makes this tough shot look easy.
Buzzer-Beater of the Day
So you like buzzer-beaters and half-court shots? We got the best of both worlds with Clippers guard Jamal Crawford sinking this crazy shot at the end of the first quarter. If Jamal shouted “glass!” mid-shot, this would have been legendary.
