Clip of the Week
Sure, I could show you some awesome play or sweet highlight from the early part of the season. But instead, I’m going to show you something funny.
Utah’s Jordan Clarkson has been on one to start the season, and he had just secured a big offensive rebound against the Wolves. So he snuck in a minute later to try his hand at another. What transpired is comedy gold for sickos like me:

Clarkson and his headband come barreling in and almost manage the unlikely tip-in. The ball rattles around the hoop, and Jordan throws a huge celebratory punch at his awesomeness before realizing his oopsie. You can’t see it well in this clip, but he’s giggling at himself the whole way back. I also laughed hard at this play, so reminiscent of Swaggy P’s infamous GIF.
People prematurely celebrating baskets will never not be funny.
