Jae Crowder’s courtside dive nearly took pop star Jojo Siwa out during the Suns-Lakers game

The body control here is insane.

We should really ban courtside seats at some point. It’s long overdue.

Case in point: Jae Crowder nearly dove directly into Jojo Siwa out on Tuesday night during the Lakers’ game while going for a loose ball. The way he somehow miraculously avoided Jojo Siwa after diving for a loose ball against the Lakers was incredible.

He was running toward the sideline full-speed and getting ready to dive for the ball when, all of a sudden, there were people. Right there. And one of them was Jojo Siwa.

To Siwa’s credit, she reacted pretty quickly and slid slightly out of the way. But Crowder is a big dude, man. At least relative to regular folks, anyway. They could’ve both been flying into the crowd had he not avoided her.

Luckily, he did. And all of the pre-teens around the world breathed a quick sigh of relief.

But look at how close it was! This is super dangerous.

Everyone was OK, though, so it’s all good. Plus the Suns managed to have a little bit of fun with this moment after the fact.

Ideas for a Nickelodeon playoff broadcast from those that matter: Nickelodeon viewers

The NFL will air a playoff game on Nickelodeon next year geared towards a younger audience. We asked two experts what that might look like.

It was announced today, with the news that the NFL will be expanding the playoff format for the 2020 NFL season, that some of the playoff games will air on Nickeledeon, aimed at engaging a younger audience.

That immediately touched off a number of jokes on Twitter, with football fans talking about slime and physical challenges and other aspects that are elements of the network’s staple of shows. But I turned to two experts on the channel for ideas on what a playoff game could look like on Nickeledeon.

My son Owen (eight) and my daughter Simone (six). Who better to ask than the experts?

Here is what they came up with.

SpongeBob Studio Show

Courtesy of my son Owen, who went through a massive SpongeBob Squarepants a few years ago, comes this idea: A pre-game show featuring the main characters from the long-running Nickelodeon cartoon.

Think about it for a second. The main hero SpongeBob SquarePants. Often hopelessly friendly and optimistic, an endless enthusiasm for life, that he somehow manages to keep while working as a short order cook at the Krusty Krab, keeping the denizens of Pineapple Bottom fed with Krabby Pattys. Your perfect, cheerful main host.

The two sidekicks? Of course Patrick, SpongeBob’s best friend and a starfish with a lack of intelligence that he makes up for with a similar happy and refreshing outlook on life. Squidward Tentacles rounds out the studio team, an ill-tempered octopus who also works at the Krusty Krab, but fails to share the happy view of life in Pineapple Bottom that his neighbors SpongeBob and Patrick bring on a daily basis.

SpongeBob and Patrick can provide the cheerful outlook on each team and a “best case scenario” for each team’s playoff hopes, while Squidward can bring everyone back to earth about how none of this even matters and every should just eat at Arby’s…I mean the Krusty Krab.
