Kobe Bryant has his own statue in China.

Kobe Bryant is obviously super popular in China (NBA leader in jersey sales in China for six years running), so the statue sort of makes sense, but don't think too much of it, Stephon Marbury got his own too.

Nate Robinson can magically jump through doors.

Cool, but you can just use the door like a normal person.

Rajon Rondo teams up with Jimmy Kimmel to mess with his fans.

That is one gullible dude. Rondo is weird, but come on.

Random NBA .GIF of the day: The Blake Griffin Airplane.

SAFE!

SMOOTHEST LANDING EVER.

Russell Westbrook tosses his crutches into a pool, announces "he's back."

Well, there goes my dream for a full off-season of Russell Westbrook's Taylor Swift covers. At least we can watch him play basketball again in the fall. Which is almost just as good.

Dirk Nowitzki mentors lucky fan one-on-one.

SWEAT SHORTS? REALLY, DUDE? The extra pockets are great, but NO, that's not okay, not even if they have zippers.

Metta World Peace loses shooting contest to 2 year old phenom.

Complaining on every shot is not your thing, Metta. It does, however, belong to the guy on your team that gave himself the weirdest nickname. (Seriously, how many animal profiles did you think "that guy" went through, before settling for something no one knew about until he blessed himself with the name.)

Roy Hibbert has the weirdest elbows.

WHAT THE. Via: Reddit

 Please refrain from dropping a people's elbow on a Mike Tyson mannequin next time, big guy.

(Note: This is the arm that Roy has wrapped up with a sleeve all Eastern Conference Finals long, it's probably just some swelling, elbows do not look like that.)

Andre Drummond dunks on Chris Brown.

Cool Brandon Knight tribute bros. May he rest in peace forever.

Damian Lillard loses his humility at the acceptance of his NBA Social Rookie Award.

For a relatively boring rookie, in terms of his off-court persona, Damian Lillard did pretty well in this short skit for NBA TV's Social Media Awards.

Spurs fan shaved Manu Ginobili into the back of his head.

Incredible details, but you missed a (bald) spot. Spurs fans sure love shaving their favorite players into their heads.

One of Richard Hamilton's favorite meals is a bowl of Top Ramen and Cheese Doodles.

GROSS. Via: Richard Hamilton's Instagram

Dude is a NBA Champion and is projected to make 5 million next year, yet one of his favorite dishes ever remains a bowl of Top Ramen and Cheese doodles. Don't get me wrong, I am all about weird food combinations, but even as a person that has had ketchup on just about everything, this is really strange. Why together?

Dr. J, Julius Erving can still dunk the ball at the age of 63.

Of course the Doctor can still dunk, dude doesn't look like he has aged since he was 30. I mean, if you ignore the grey hair, he can easily pass for a 40 year old, which is at the exact age where the New York Knicks will just about offer anyone a contract. Because only the Knicks would sign walking fossils in hope that they would be a real steal in their ridiculous lack of cap space.

Dwight Howard is a lot taller than Kevin Hart.

A LOT Taller.

Stephen Curry tries to dunk over a bike.

Stick to shooting, buddy.

Rajon Rondo plays Connect Four with two people at the same time and wins.

I guess all that kid destroying Rondo did at the charity, really tuned his Connect Four skills. What a guy.

Kobe Bryant takes on 2 year old phenom in a shooting contest.

Chill, dudes. This was filmed a few months ago, Kobe is still hurt and is probably lying in his bed somewhere, plotting Dwight Howard's demise.

Metta, Ron, I think it's time to see the psychiatrist again.

Russell Westbrook sings Taylor Swift... again.

Those prescribed super-strength pain killers, man. Russ should have known these pills were trouble, when he popped them.

Metta World Peace reads his new book to kids.

Metta, I think you knew you lost them when you had to ask the kids for confirmation. That was brutal.
