Rule of thumb: video of a fan getting kicked in the chest by a basketball player wearing the logo of my seventh-favorite fast food restaurant gets posted. Dude, the team is even named “Burger King.” How awesome is that? I want this happening in American Sports immediately, if only so I can cheer on the Jacksonville Mike’s Hard Lemonade and the St. Louis Tampax Sanitary Napkins. Guess which team would be the bleeder. Yeah, I went there. Video’s after the jump. Read the rest of this entry »
This isn’t the first Dude Perfect video to appear on this site, but this latest installment doesn’t go any further in answering the question, “Are these shots legit?” There’s no proof that anything the Texas-based basketball trick-shot troupe has faked anything, but that hasn’t quelled the suspicion. I suppose in this YouTube era that being accused of counterfeiting your video is the best compliment one can receive. Accusing them of being fakes is probably the least we can do in return for them making the most difficult shots look routine. Or even staged. via.
I hate to sound unimpressed with these videos of guys nailing trick shot after trick shot. But it’s like walking through the Louvre in Paris, something I’m sure everyone reading this site has done. There’s about ten thousand rooms to the place, and there’s priceless works of art, wall to wall, in every room. And after a while you just get…hey, that giant pillow full of air looks like fun. Damn, guys. Don’t you ever miss even just once? via.
First of all, I have no idea why Mexico and Uruguay are playing hoop here. Did they run out of soccer balls? Anyway, this fight starts about as haplessly as one would expect: ticky-tack foul, and then some jawing, and then someone surely said something about someone else’s mother (Spanish is the official language of Uruguay), and there we go. You can see the Uruguayans cowering in the end zone, wondering how they’re going to get out of that gym with their lives. Mexico is just a place unfit for hosting any sort of international sporting event. Kinda like Oakland, but without the panache. Gracias, Gimp.
DC Shoes put together this crazy ad involving an indoor skate park and a basketball goal. I can only assume that somebody thought it was a giant bong and brought it in to smoke it. Because all skaters are druggies, see. It’s an impressive display of trickshottery from a group of dudes that most people don’t really consider to be athletes. Now if we can only get these guys to start going to class again.
The Hoop Doctors dug up this video of Donovann Toatley. He’s 8 now, but supposedly this video was made when little Donny was six years old. He’s pretty good at the ball handling end of things. But he can’t shoot, and he doesn’t have anyone to pass to, either. And he could probably use a couple friends and some help with his addition tables. But seriously, this kid will probably get his first BJ before he turns ten. That Dribbling Two Balls At Once thing moistens panties from coast to coast.
