Watch the coolest game of basketball you’ll ever see

We need one of these in the break room.

At some point in life I hope to do something and look nearly as cool as these dudes playing basketball in their office gym.

Comedian Soufiane Bernoukh and his friends are playing basketball on a mini basketball hoop and it honestly looks way cooler than the real thing — somehow.

Dude is eurostepping, dunking and shooting no-look shots all over the place. And they’re all dropping. At first it’s pretty wild to look at, and then you just marvel at how absolutely cool he looks doing it.

And to top it all off they’ve even added NBA music and sound effects. This entire thing is just one big masterpiece.

We have to get this guy in the celebrity All-Star game when everything opens back up. Bruh was really getting buckets on dudes on a mini hoop. You absolutely love to see it.

John Calipari’s sad appearance after fifth straight Kentucky loss became an instant meme

Following Kentucky’s fifth straight loss, John Calipari’s dejected press appearance became an instant meme.

The University of Kentucky is off to its worst start under John Calipari, and arguably its worst start since … honestly I don’t know when. The Wildcats are 1-5, something the team has only done four times in its history, and not since 1926. Kentucky has lost five straight. Things are bad right now.

The most recent loss came on Saturday to UNC, a game that was pretty interesting at first — UK led by four at the half — before Kentucky’s lack of discipline and failure to make plays doomed them. Four UK players fouled out. The game ended with one Kentucky player, Terrence Clarke, leaving the court before the game ended.

Again, things are bad right now. And that all led to this appearance by Coach Calipari at the end of the game.

The harsh lighting and dejected look of a man whose team is 1-5 was not only the perfect representation of how Kentucky fans feel right now, but also how just about everyone feels having gone through 2020.

Look at the reaction:

The best ‘how it started’ memes from the sports world

The ‘how it started’ meme is taking over Twitter.

If you’ve spent any time at all on Twitter on Tuesday, you’ve probably noticed a new meme format is taking over. The “how it started / how it ended” format is pretty self explanatory, and sports fans and teams are using it to celebrate legends, recent events, and even great moments in history… like the Mark Sanchez buttfumble.

Here are some of the best “how it started” memes from the sports world.

Cam Newton’s sideline interaction with N’Keal Harry immediately became a meme

So good.

It’s almost like Cam Newton knew the cameras were on him. The reaction was that perfect.

The New England Patriots improved to 2-1 on Sunday with their Week 3 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. And with just under two minutes remaining in the game, CBS cameras focused in on a conversation between Newton and wide receiver N’Keal Harry on the bench.

Harry said something to Newton that had the Patriots quarterback breaking out a classic meme-worthy reaction and sliding down his seat. Again, the fact that the moment was captured live on the broadcast was just too perfect.

It immediately became a meme.

Asked after the game what Harry said, Newton declined to reveal the details of that conversation.

But we saw that meme make rounds on Twitter throughout Sunday.

This one could have staying power. Thanks for that, Cam.

Anthony Davis hilariously peeked in on LeBron James’ press conference and gave us a new NBA meme

Oh this is golden.

Sure, the Lakers are the second best team in the NBA by record.

But they easily hold the number one spot when it comes to dishing out the NBA’s best memes. They’re so memeable!

Just Thursday, LeBron James gave us the best meme of the NBA’s restart when he locked up Kawhi Leonard in the final seconds of the Lakers’ opening bubble game against the Clippers. It was an amazing moment but one that happened on the court.

Off the court, they have us covered too. Shortly after the game when LeBron James was doing his postgame media availability Anthony Davis gave a little peek behind the curtain and it gives off mad Jack Nicholson from The Shining vibes.

Heeeeeeere’s Anthony. NBA fans absolutely loved the new material.

So good. I’m absolutely sure we’ll see this one a bunch over the next few months.

Andrés Iniesta recibió su propia estatua al desnudo y los memes y comentarios se desataron

Cada tanto aparece una nueva escultura de un reconocido futbolista que simplemente no cumple con las espectativas. ¿Se acuerdan del extraño busto de Cristiano Ronaldo exhibido en el aeropuerto de Madeira? Después de 3 años seguimos sin saber a quién …

Cada tanto aparece una nueva escultura de un reconocido futbolista que simplemente no cumple con las espectativas. ¿Se acuerdan del extraño busto de Cristiano Ronaldo exhibido en el aeropuerto de Madeira?

Pues bien, ahora Andrés Iniesta también tiene su propia escultura qué presumir, y no solo la cara, sino su cuerpo completo y al desnudo. Y no, no se guardaron ningún detalle.

El pretexto para la creación de la estatua, fue recrear el momento exacto en que Iniesta golpeó el balón para marcar el gol que coronaría e España como campeón del mundo ante Holanda, durante el Mundial de Sudáfrica 2010. Muy bonito el recuerdo y todo pero, ¿era necesario recrear a Iniesta desnudo?

Como era de esperarse ante la presentación de esta pieza escultórica, los memes en redes sociales no tardaron en aparecer. Para que rían con nosotros un poco, aquí están algunos de los mejores memes:

NASA didn’t actually prove a parallel universe exists but these jokes are still funny

Sorry to disappoint you, folks

By now you’ve probably seen a ton of headlines all over the internet alluding to NASA researches in Antarctica finding proof of the existence of a universe parallel to ours where time actually moves backwards.

But, here’s the thing: That’s not actually true.

What actually happened is pretty interesting, but it’s not what you think. This all stems from a story published by New Scientist from a few weeks back on a research paper published on rare particles detected by the Antarctic Impulsive Transient Antenna (ANITA), which is a radio telescope used to capture cosmic ray neutrinos from a scientific balloon.

Normally, the neutrinos come from space. They’re not a problem — they pass right through solid objects, generally. But during this event, the neutrinos were coming from the earth’s interior instead of space.

Weird! And definitely an anomaly. But it also does not mean that, as some have asserted, there is a backwards moving parallel universe out there chilling.

Ibrahim Safa, the lead writer of the paper, said so himself.

Of course, that didn’t stop people from freaking out about the headlines they saw.

But on the other hand? I can’t lie to y’all. Some of these jokes are pretty dang funny.

Sorry to disappoint you, folks. You won’t be linking with the parallel you anytime soon. At least not yet.

NBA fans made an excellent meme from Michael Jordan jamming out to music

The gift that keeps on giving.

Over the past two months, we have missed so many potential sports moments due to the coronavirus pandemic — March Madness, NBA Playoffs, the Masters were all canceled or postponed. And if you’ve ever followed those events, you’d know how the internet can turn any given moment into a meme.

We’ll never know what we missed out on, but at least The Last Dance was here to sustain us.

ESPN’s 10-part documentary on Michael Jordan and the Bulls came to a close this weekend, but the show had given NBA fans more than enough memes to brighten up the internet. The final episode may have provided the best of them all.

In the opening moments of Episode 10, we were treated to Michael Jordan jamming to music on the team bus. So, of course, NBA fans added their own music to the video. And the results were spectacular.

There’s even an entire Twitter account dedicated to the meme, @JordanJamming.

Just what we needed.

‘The Last Dance’ has given us the next great Michael Jordan meme

Nothing will ever beat Crying Jordan, but this is really good all the same.

Michael Jordan is not only one of the greatest to ever play the game of basketball, he’s also a first ballot Meme Hall of Famer, for his many online works, most notably Crying Jordan … perhaps the greatest sports meme of all time.

“The Last Dance,” ESPN’s new, fantastic documentary that looks at the final run of the great Jordan-era Bulls team, is giving us plenty of new Jordan material to work with, including a new reaction shot that’s proving to be a fantastic new, Jordan meme.

The screengrab shows Jordan looking bemusedly at a screen in which producers played video of Isaiah Thomas defending the late 80s Pistons. Jordan isn’t buying it, and makes a perfect face, and internet users are having a blast filling it in with whatever they want.

It’s not Crying Jordan, but nothing is Crying Jordan. This meme could have legs, however:

What’s also great: The director of the show, Jason Hehir, seemed to understand how meme-able the moment was before the show even aired. This was a self-called meme. Babe Ruthian.
