The Team USA blooper reel is nice, especially that shot LeBron makes at 1:25. That’s all basketball should be, people spinning around making video game hook shots. (via BroBible, by way of Hot Clicks)

Move over, Perd Hapley, there’s a new hilarious anchor in town. Minneapolis and St. Paul NBC affiliate KARE 11 sent anchor Eric Perkins to London for the 2012 Summer Olympics, and sure, he did his job by talking to boring, old athletes like Kevin Love and some other people who aren’t funny, but thankfully Perkins took matters of hilariousness into his own hands when he hit Bridge Street in front of the iconic Big Ben clock tower and… get ready to piss yourself… he asked people what time it was!

Oh my God, you need to watch the video right now, because it is the most incredible definition of LOLs and LMAOs you will ever see. Unfortunately, KARE 11 and NBC Olympics are all, “Hey, you can’t embed our videos, you scoundrels!” so you’ll have to go to their website to watch it, but when you’re rolling on the floor in a puddle of your own filth as you scream from exhaustive laughter, you’ll thank me. Oh you’ll thank me.

And after the jump I have another one of Perk’s hilarious on-air pranks. I won’t spoil it for you, but it is anything but a snoozer… *stifles laughter, resumes reading Family Circus cartoons*

The sports world is abuzz with the news that a Magic-Johnson fronted group broke the dang old bank in order to purchase the Dodgers for over $2 billion, which is a figure so absurd that it may as well be written like a comic strip character says cuss words.

“Yes  Mr. McCourt, and our counter-offer is #!%*& dollars.”

Anyway, it’s no secret by now that Magic Johnson, while not a billionaire himself, is a mega-entrepreneur and philanthropist. Already in 2012, he’s bought a baseball team and announced he’s launching a television network. What’s next, a chain of restaurants that are like Applebee’s, but with edible food? A series of Wal*Mart-style superstores? It’s almost like he’s some kind of business wizard. Almost like he’s … gathering spectacular assets.

Wait a minute. Wizard … gathering … Magic … I think we may be on to something here, ladies and gentlemen. In the spirit of Magic Johnson’s spectacular purchase, I am pleased to present the nerdiest sequence of jokes to ever appear on With Leather. It is my pleasure to present to you a very special type of card game: a collectible one.

Faithful readers, I proudly present Magic Johnson: The Gathering.

In direct emotional contrast to Lamar Odom watching Khloe Kardashian’s monster body collapse in a sex swing, here is an absolutely adorable video by way of The Basketball Jones of 3-year old Minnesota Timberwolves fan Chase explaining that his favorite player is Nikola Pekovic, he named his hamster Ricky Rubio and, in a total Chauncey Gardiner moment, says his favorite thing to do is watch.

I don’t blame him for loving Nikola Pekovic (his Where In The World Is Carmen Sandiego? Rockapella parody made him my favorite Timberwolf, too) or for the preciously affected way he named his pet. In retrospect I wish I’d named my hamster “Tim Hardaway” when I was younger instead of going for a dumb pun*.

And hey, with his aptitude at pronouncing “Nikola Pekovic” and signature sign-off, he’s ready for on-air duties about 35-years ahead of schedule. He’s probably already better at math than Martel Webster:

By way of That NBA Lottery Pick comes this video of Luis Scola hitting Kevin Love in the groin with a basketball, and I think my favorite part is when Kevin Love gets hit in the groin with a basketball.

The YouTube video description provides context:

Luis Scola hits Kevin Love in the groin

Okay, maybe not.

The second best part of the video (besides the guy getting hit in the groin with a basketball) has to be the coining of the phrase “love stomach” to describe testicles. It’s pretty accurate. Plus, Kevin Love got absolutely crushed in the Love Stomach.

I liked football better back when I thought it was real.
