We all have been that third wheel to a conversation, but who would think it would be Jay Z between his wife Beyonce and actor Jake Gyllenhaal? Jay Z looks like he really isn’t feeling that middle seat during the HEAT and Nets game.

Oh, no you didn’t, Rihanna! When trying to a take a selfie with the Los Angeles Police Commissioner Steven Soboroff‘s phone, she accidentally drops it and breaks the screen. We’re sure Rihanna hooked him up quick, but this photo catching their reactions is perfect.

The Raptors season may be over, but they went home to the full support of Toronto including Deputy Mayor Norm Kelly. Way to show some humor by the boss of the city while the Raptors mascot takes a bite out of him.

Happy 27th birthday to Raptors forward Amir Johnson! In honor of his big day, he received this awesome personalized LEGO cake. This is almost too cool to eat as it’s completed by Amir’s gold chain and watch.
YouTube of the Day
Are Kansas fans wondering what’s going to happen after losing Andrew Wiggins to the draft? No worries, you have 6’7 forward Kelly Oubre from high school powerhouse Findlay Prep coming to Lawrence next year. Oubre possesses some real jaw-dropping athleticism and talent that should have the fans just as excited as when Wiggins came to town. We know we’re pumped to see what Oubre and Jayhawks will do next year.
Tweet of the Day
Um heck yes, the @Bucks mailed me a ping pong ball #feerthedeer #NBADraft pic.twitter.com/xGFno3Ka1p

So, if you were a Bucks season ticket holder, would you be excited about getting this in the mail or would it be salt in the wound to an already depressing season? We’ll give the Bucks credit for being original to get the fans pumped for the draft they’ve been waiting all year for.
Instagram Follow of the Day
Wisconsin senior forward Zach Bohannon may look goofy, but he’s really just a huge fan like the rest of us. Bohannon definitely deserves a follow on IG as he took full advantage of getting a field pass to a Yankees game as he gets selfies with everybody, including Derek Jeter.
Swag of the Day
These dudes only get away with this because they hoop lol pic.twitter.com/m14OUlCx0R

This may not be a winning combination, but we have to give a shout-out to HEAT guard Dwyane Wade for rocking jean overalls with these zebra shoes. It’s not like nobody will actually burn Wade for it in his locker room, so why not?

These are some pretty fly Nike “Spider-Man” Foams that Raptors guard Terrence Ross is rocking. With the hops that Ross has, he might as well be a super hero.

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.
Tweet of the Day
Gortat on the Mohawks: "Martell's sexual black chocolate and I'm sexual white chocolate so we have to look the same." pic.twitter.com/ewJDvoOnpz
— Sarah Kogod (@SarahKogod) September 29, 2014
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.
Vines of the Night

Has Julius Randle ever been in this type of shape in his life?

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.

Thunder forward Kevin Durant deserves an early birthday shout-out (KD actually turns 26 September 29th). Check out what Nike did for their star with this sweet cake design only meant for “The Baddest.”

Check out the new Mavericks alternate uniforms courtesy of the fans’ designs. Very nice combo of their modern look and throwback 90’s uniforms.

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
After signing his hefty new contract, Mavericks forward Chandler Parsons can afford to throw down some cold cash to roll around in this classy Rolls Royce. You know how to ride, Chandler.
