Two questions and their appropriate answers –

Q: If a man dresses in enormous footie pajamas, can he still dunk?
A: Yes.

Q: If he calls his baby onesie a “swagger suit”, does that make it cool?
A: LOL

Here we see Milwaukee Bucks forward and University of Washington alum Jon Brockman having a lonely fashion show in a “Swagga Suit” for Washington student company “SWAG”. To commemorate the event, Brockman is changing his name to Swagger S. McSwaggerson, middle name Swagger, because a 6-foot-7 white guy in the Washington state dunking by himself in purple long-johns that make him look like he’s cosplaying Tinky Winky is the official f**king chilled death of the word “swagger”, and for safety reasons Jon is now the only man allowed to say or think it.

Seriously, swagger has become an epidemic, and much in the way that my generation turned “awesome” into a synonym for “okay”, people today have turned swagger into a synonym for “walking upright and maintaining consciousness”. If this is swagger in any definition, I would like to remain swaggerless for the rest of my life.

Two more pictures of this abomination are after the jump.

A for effort, but it doesn't make much sense.

Dwyane Wade was pissed that the Indiana Pacers were celebrating their Game 2 win in Miami earlier this week, and he was pissed that the refs weren’t calling fouls the way he’d prefer. So when most people expected him to respond with a Dwyane Wade game in Indiana last night, he shocked everyone when he barely showed up with a Harold Miner game. Wade scored 5 whole points as the Pacers trounced the Heat 94-75, and the “haters”, I believe, are throwing a parade in every major city this morning.

It’s just one game, and unless the Heat lose the next one, I think it’s safe to say the notion of the Heat being in panic mode is a bit silly and premature. But for at least one night, the people who have begged and prayed for the Heat to lose were celebrating their butts off on Twitter. And my favorite Tweet, which I assume was meant to mock all of the people Tweeting incredibly nasty comments at Wade and the Heat, came from Wade’s girlfriend, Gabrielle Union.

"Wait, am I the elbower or the elbowee?"

By now, we should be over the fact that in a moment of testosterone- and adrenaline-fueled celebration, a professional athlete was careless and violently elbowed another player in the head. But since that athlete is Metta World Peace, AKA Ron Artest, we’ll never be over it, because WHEN IS HE GOING TO DO IT AGAIN???

Alas, we also can’t be over it when the original victim has now become the hunter. During the first quarter of last night’s incredibly-exciting-despite-the-score 77-75 win over the Los Angeles Lakers, Oklahoma City Thunder guard and NBA 6th Man of the Year James Harden got a little revenge on World Peace when he crossed him up and jabbed him in the cheek with his elbow.

Responded World Peace, “IRONY!”

In the most embarrassing moment to happen to him since he tried to teach Jesse Katsopolis how to play basketball, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was scolded by ‘Jeopardy!’ host Alex Trebek for asking “What is X” when the question we were looking for was “what is G, you old creep”. Apparently Jeopardy is a family show, and “what is the back of Linda Lovelace’s throat” has never been an answer. Who knew?

You can check out video of the moment below, and don’t worry, it wasn’t shot on 8 MM film.

When you see a fan made rap playoffs rap anthem titled “color 1 and color 2″ you think they’re gonna do the same ‘Black And Yellow’ everyone else does, but I guess Wiz Khalifa is old and busted and Eiffel 65 samples are the new hotness because here’s Jesse Pinkman, Skinny Pete and Badger doing their 1999 techno best to rap the Oklahoma City Thunder into the NBA Playoffs.

From their debut album RADIO KILLERS the Lost Boys and Michael Garner bring you the ultimate OKC Thunder Anthem “Blue and Orange” showing their home pride to the Thunder. The album as well as Michael Garner’s “Why Bother” compilation is due to release early May 2012.

The two best parts of the video are, in order:

1. How (who I’m assuming is) Michael Garner pronounces “orange”. I REP THAT BLUE AN DORTCH, I REP THAT BLUE AN DORTCH.
2. The fact that somehow the YouTube comments section for the video has turned into a racist argument about how the Thunder have no team history, why the Seattle Supersonics were way better and why only black people should be allowed to rap.

In case you can’t get through the entire song, at no point do they put holy water in squirt guns and kill anything. I’m just happy the Thunder finally have an anthem, because they weren’t going to beat the dogsh*t out of the Lakers by 20 points without it.

Yeah, I know those aren't LeBron 9's but I wear flip flops 24/7 so deal with it.

It was announced on Saturday that Miami Heat forward LeBron James was awarded MVP for the third time in his career, after leading his team to a 46-20 regular season record and the No. 2 seed in the East. James averaged 27.1 points per game this season, while his “Big 3” cohorts Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh averaged 22.1 and 18 ppg, respectively. Sure, it’s like saying that James was the fastest of the Ferraris, but it’s hard to argue that he doesn’t once again deserve the NBA’s ultimate individual honor.

For his hard work, James’ other “employer”, Nike, has also awarded him with this special new pair of LeBron 9’s that he wore yesterday in the Heat’s 95-86 victory over the Indiana Pacers…

Of the shoes, a Nike spokesperson said that they’re a reward for the company’s “Employee of the Year” – a shame, because I thought for sure that would go to LeBron’s douchebag yes-man and sideways peace sign giver, Jason Petrie. I’ll admit, though, it would be pretty cool to know that you’re the only person on Earth who has a specific pair of shoes that were designed solely for you because of an incredible accomplishment. You know, if that were true.
