King of Pong

Written by Brandon Stroud / 04.29.11

Ping Pong ClubThe only way to react to this video of a guy pulling an Andre Agassi on the ping pong court is to shout “oyy!” The shot comes to us courtesy of Hot Clicks by way of The Score, and there is literally zero context provided, so I don’t know if these happened in real life or was a Powerade commercial or what.

All I can pick up using my Batman-like deductive reasoning skills is that one of the guys is a person (see, down in the bottom left) and the game was featured on AFTONBLADET, which either means “afternoon leaf” or “this comes on after Blade 2.” Good old Aftonbladet, with their catchy slogan, “Sveriges nyhetskälla och mötesplats.”

Pro-tip: You can recreate this amazing shot in a game of Pong by turning your back to the screen, then hurling the Atari controller over your shoulder.

You may have already seen this little nugget of women’s basketball trick shottery on ESPN’s Top Plays or in an email your feminist older sister sent you, but I didn’t see it until this morning because I save my chicks hoops for Thursdays when my pride is already mostly defeated.

On Monday night, the Concordia Cavaliers were tied with the College of Idaho Breastfeeders Coyotes 61-61 with .7 seconds left on the clock. Faced with the possibility of overtime, Cascade Collegiate Conference first-teamer Danielle Clauson knew she would need a miracle shot to win, otherwise she’d never be home in time to watch The Bachelor.

Noticing that her opponent’s back was facing her – I like where this is going – Danielle inbounded to herself off the defender’s back and hit a monster tomahawk windmill 360 layup for the win. As you can see in the video after the jump, the crowd just goes insane. Especially all the guys who were there and subsequently lost their man cards when leaving the arena.
