Nobody at Powerade owns a Flip, right? So this full court, behind the back shot is real? Maybe? Argh, I can never tell if it’s not crammed into the middle of a trick shots montage. (via Bob’s Blitz)

He really wants the buckets.

We don’t write a lot about Kyle Singler. To date, the only stories at With Leather that mention Singler are one about him missing a dunk, one about him dramatically flopping and an NCAA Tournament West Region rundown where Punter says he hates him.

It’s not the best first impression, but we are suckers for a good trick shots video, so … here’s a somewhat positive post about Kyle Singler.

Please enjoy the YouTube description, which may or may not have been written by Ralph Wiggum..

Why is Kyle Singler standing in the Belle Isle Fountain? Find out that, and why he’s called The Bucket Man and Singler makes buckets all around Detroit

I don’t want to spoil anything, but at one point he just throws a ball at a moving car and makes a bucket. That is an incredible, mathematical dedication to the procuration of buckets.

Video is below. Warning: He says “buckets” a lot.

This video showed up on our tip line a few minutes ago, with the subject, “the most uproxx video i’ve seen”. I don’t think it’s even a contest.

‘All Star Bowling Trick Shots’ combines everything UPROXX loves: Funny Or Die videos, trick shot videos, celebrities doing weird stuff (like Craig Robinson dunking, or John Goodamn, or all intents and purposes the most bowling-related celebrity in the video, passing a bowling ball with a trampoline), Aubrey Plaza, kinda-crummy hip hop music … all it needs is for someone to turn it into an animate GIF gallery with subtitles and it’s our jobs in a nutshell. Oh, and Kate Upton should be there. And corgis.

Anyway, there’s nothing I can say about this video that isn’t trumped by watching it, so check it out below. Oh, I can say one thing: You are awesome, ‘Home Improvement’s’ Richard Karn, and you should be in everything. There. That felt good.

I probably could’ve used a better image than that. Yeap.

Former UNC Asheville Goalkeeper and Finnish trick shot artist Lassi Hurskainen is back with more tricks from his native Finland!

Lassi tells us a little about the Finnish people, the culture, checks-in with Finland’s most famous resident (Santa Claus) and teaches one Finn an important lesson! (via YouTube)

We see a lot of trick shot videos at With Leather, but this one has everything you need: unnecessary cameos (Santa, The Blue Meanie I think), incredible displays of accuracy (those goal post shots) and even more incredible displays of ridiculously unnecessary accuracy. Seriously, who knows how to kick food into a grocery cart? More importantly, who LEARNS to do that? And what grocery store says, “sure, just kick our food until you get it right”?

Regardless, it’s a great video littered with adorable English and affirmations of Finnish politeness, so check it out.

The Olympics are almost here, and that can only mean one thing — the guys from ‘Dude Perfect’ doing a bunch of trick shots and high-fiving each other like they always do, and also Olympians are there.

The latest effort from the crew features cameos and instructional segments from Olympic athletes Sean Melton, Dennis Bowsher, Giddeon Massie, Joshua Dixon, Katherine Fulp-Allen and Jake Herbert as well as the U.S. Bobsled Team and Paralympian Elizabeth Stone, so it’s more than just guys shooting front flip three-pointers … it’s guys shooting front flip three-pointers for America.

Aside from that front flip, the highlight of the video has to be the part where Dude perfectly bowls a basketball across a hilly rooftop and somehow manages to get it in the basket. I’m going to remember this the next time my stupid ass goes for a lay-up in front of nobody and misses the rim completely.

How can we get Trick Shots into the Olympics? That’s guaranteed U.S.A. gold.

We at With Leather love trick shot videos, and we’ve covered everything from long-snappers closing locker doors to ultimate frisbee players scoring goals from bridges and ladies kicking soccer balls into canyons. The latest trick shot video comes to us from Purdue University basketball players D.J. Byrd and Dru Anthrop, and while it doesn’t feature any of the shots I just listed, it does feature dudes hitting three pointers from inside a garbage can, so that’s good enough for me.

From the YouTube description:

Bored on a Sunday we decided to break the new Mackey Arena renovations with some challenging skill/trick shots. Enjoy.
Sorry about the vertical video… Amateurism was in effect.
Stay tuned for a Volume 2, it will be more professional lol

We do not own the rights to any of the music played in this video. AC/DC – Shoot to Thrill

Just once I want to see somebody upload a video like this and type “we own this song, we wrote Shoot To Thrill and this is us performing it”. Or just, “we heard this song in Shoot ‘Em Up and f**k you if you sue us”.

Volume 2 will be posted soon, pending its professionalism. (lol)
