In the thrilling sequel to LeBron James dunking on an 11-year old in a game of “Knockout”, teammate Dwyane Wade takes on a bunch of kids at D. Wade All-Star Basketball Camp at the very same game and loses the NBA Championship because he can’t sink free throws. I’m sorry, that’s an old sentence. Loses Knockout because he can’t sink free throws. Wade blocks shots, yells, and even tries to throw his ball at a child’s before losing in dramatic fashion.

Of course, LeBron’s video didn’t have an affable interview at the end to put everything into context and show that he was just screwing around to make a bunch of kids happy, so I’m going post this video in good spirits and keep imagining James was having flashbacks to every time he’s ever been in the playoffs when he was dunking on that sixth grader.

Dirk Nowitzki should put up YouTube videos of him draining fadeaway jumpers over a bunch of elementary school students just to rub it in. Come on, Funny or Die, do your job.

In the most relaxing NBA fan video you’ll watch all day, Andres Gabriel Pita of the Miami-based Latin Urban Pop musical trio “Los Primeros” gives the Miami Heat a playoffs pep talk and causes you, the viewer, to die from an epileptic seizure. I originally formatted this post in the style of Pita’s video, but. I. broke. my. fingers. trying. to. emulate. HIS. style. of. VIDEO. production. He jump cuts between every word, sometimes in the middle of words (sometimes into nothing but screaming) like some Negaverse Ray William Johnson tripping on Bloody Eye and Code Red Mountain Dew. To the right is a screen grab of him EXPLODING INTO FIRE.

I think the best part of the video is when he gives up on talking about basketball to shout “boobies,” then makes a little fart noise with his mouth and gestures like he’s toothpasting milk out of his tit. Oh, and then there’s the part near the end (if you can make it to the end without blacking out) where he starts naming off ancillary Heat players with funny names like he’s Tom Haverford naming off foods. Eddie House is “Eddie Casa,” and I’m pretty sure Mario Chalmers is “long ass rice.”

In a related story, here’s the pep talk video for the Orlando Magic.

Chalk this up to “Crap That I Don’t Really Find Amusing But Post Anyway So People Stop Sending It To Me.” Scott Stapp, frontman for the recording group Creed [not pictured] put together a song for the Florida Marlins, and it’s just bad. Not even like Unintentionally Funny bad, or even Fairly Close To Ironic bad. It blows in a bland, un-redeeming way, although the Own Name On Back Of The Jersey was a nice touch and, arguably, less tacky than incessant title case.

I can’t tell if that’s actually Creed behind him, but I don’t really care. This vid does nothing for me. But sincerely, thanks to everyone that sent this in. Hey, sometimes I’m wrong about stuff, and so I count on you, dear Leather-heads, to set me straight. Enjoy your post by popular demand after the jump. Read the rest of this entry »

The viral ads that this electronics firm are typically enjoyable, but this one is quite mighty. In it, this youngster wields business cards with the dexterity of shuriken from days gone by. I wouldn’t want to get hit with one of those. People think I’m a big sissy as it is, and it wouldn’t help matters if I died from a paper cut. Anyway, it’s a solid video. I’d give it four stars, but I’m lazy. Enjoy it after the jump, unless you also happen to be lazy, in which case, hey! Let’s start a club! Actually, why don’t you do it. Read the rest of this entry »

Pole dancing may not become an Olympic event anytime soon, but even if it did, that probably wouldn’t satisfy the jockniks who weigh so carefully the activities that they consider to be “sports.” I had the chance to spend some time with a few of these athletes at a US Pole Dancing Federation event last fall. Yeah, I guess these things are all federated now. But these girls have a lot of requirements to meet, and I’m not just referring to the 5-inch heels that all competitors are required to wear. After speaking to some of the women involved, I came away impressed with the effort and the discipline involved in their craft. It’s more than you’d ever see in the NBA, which, granted, isn’t saying much. Read the rest of this entry »

Give credit where it’s due to NBA star Chris Paul and his three associates here in a terrific spoof of the film Paranormal Activity. It’s rather charming throughout, but has two solid lollerskating moments. My favorite part happens ten seconds before the end of the video when Paul gets called for a personal foul against Dwyane Wade. Sorry, that will never not be funny to me. Unless somebody else does it. Thanks to Ben at That NBA Lottery Pick. Video’s after the jump. Read the rest of this entry »
