Manu Ginobili’s Game 6 No-Call, As Called By Don Draper (And The Morning Links)

Written by Brandon Stroud / 06.19.13

Oh, EDSBS. You’ve managed to encapsulate everything a bystander needs to know about Game 6 of the NBA Finals in a Vine that is only 2/3 basketball. I will never again be able to see Manu Ginobili without hearing that noise. Game 7, here we come.

(Spoiler alert: Tim Duncan’s been dead all season.)

Funny Or Die’s ‘LeBron James – It’s In My Blood’ Is Perfect, Features Dog Flopping

Written by Brandon Stroud / 06.18.13

LeBron lives the way he plays… with similar results.

Tonight is Game 6 of the NBA Finals, and if I were a betting man who has watched basketball ever I’d assume Miami would take it and force a Game 7.

To celebrate, here is Funny Or Die’s ‘LeBron James – It’s In My Blood,’ a celebration of King James’ unshakable desire for championship greatness and/or his ability to fall down and act hurt and offended on command. Highlights include an encounter with a dog walker, a trip to the convenience store and a rollerblader who totally got her elbow up and caught him in the eye (you just didn’t get the correct camera angle).

Check it out after the jump.

VH1′s ‘Hit The Floor’ Looks Pretty Interesting

Written by Ashley Burns / 06.17.13

Hit the FLoor

As much as I watch and overanalyze television, I had no clue that VH1 still produced original series, let alone scripted dramas and not hokey reality series about musicians you’ve never heard of (although Bands Reunited was one of the greatest TV shows of any kind in the history of the medium, but that’s another discussion for another UPROXX site). So imagine my surprise when I learned that VH1 has a show entitled, Hit the Floor, which is about a girl named Ahsha (which I pray is pronounced Asia) who joins a fictional NBA dance team, the Los Angeles Devil Girls, only to discover that it’s fast-paced lifestyle that she never imagined.

Basically, it’s like a PG version of Showgirls with former L.A. Laker Rick Fox filling in for Kyle McLachlan and none of the pool scene.

Danny Green Vs. A Child Ninja. Who Ya Got?

Written by Brandon Stroud / 06.17.13

Danny Green of the San Antonio Spurs was racing back to the locker room to watch the Sprint Halftime Report (I assume) and almost had his life ended when a CHILD NINJA appeared from out of nowhere and almost took him out. I don’t know why there is a child ninja roaming the halls of the AT&T Center, but he’s there, and you’ll never see him coming. (via Ride The Pine)

Dwight Howard Is Still Pursuing His Acting Career, Just Watch How Amazing He Is

Written by Ashley Burns / 06.14.13

Dwight Howard Acting

Via Yahoo! Movies came the exclusive news yesterday that NBA free agent superstar center Dwight Howard, formerly of the Orlando Magic and possibly the Los Angeles Lakers, has already made one decision about where he’ll be playing in the immediate future – a movie studio sound booth. The man who calls himself Superman but has a spine more qualified to play Reed Richards has signed on to voice a character in the upcoming animated film Free Birds.

Starring (the voices of) Woody Harrelson, Owen Wilson and Amy Poehler, Free Birds is a Thanksgiving-themed story about some turkeys who travel back in time to stop humans from turning them into the official birds of Thanksgiving. Howard would play “Cold Turkey” and I’m assuming that he’s going to be some sort of civil rights era, jive-talking bird that would put Michael Bay’s minstrel bots to shame.

Howard landed the role because he’s repped by Relativity Sports and Relativity is producing Free Birds along with Reel FX. In fact, the Relativity is quite proud to show off its talented flock of acting athletes, as evidenced in their “We Crush Acting” comedy video released earlier this week.

Chris Brown Got Dunked On, And The World Clapped Its Hands

Written by Brandon Stroud / 06.13.13

chris-brown-dunked-onInsert your own tacky Rihanna joke here.

Allow me to set the scene for you. 7-foot Detroit Pistons center Andre Drummond is going up for a dunk. The only thing that stands in his way is 6-foot R&B singer and all around terrible human being Chris Brown. He does about as well as you’d expect on the block, considering Drummond is … ugh, it’s impossible to write up a story about Chris Brown without just typing in all caps about what a piece of shit he his. HE DOES WELL ON THE BLOCK CONSIDERING DRUMMOND ISN’T HALF HIS SIZE AND BEGGING HIM TO STOP BLOCKING.

Sorry, everyone. Here’s the video, so that you may enjoy it in your own way.
