Amir Johnson loses a game of tug-of-war to an elephant.
Pretty sure almost tearing your entire body in a game of tug of war with an elephant is not covered by your insurance, but okay.

More DeMar DeRozan dunks from the Nike Drew summer league.
I still have not and will not, forgive any of you who voted for Blake Griffin to be the 2011 NBA Dunk Contest Champion. It should have been DeMar, you guys robbed him, Toronto and the rest of Canada of the very few trophies we can win. How could you? You heartless animals.

DeMar DeRozan dunks it up at the Nike Drew summer league.
Really hope you stayed for the second dunk, because that's pretty much one of the greatest in-game dunks ever. (Nothing tops Vince Carter on Frédéric Weis at the 2000 Olympics, of course.)

Terrence Ross's insane windmill dunk at the UW Alumni dunk contest.
The first two dunks were cool and all, but I don't think you guys grasped how incredible the windmill dunk was in the end of the Vine.
Here's the first angle.
And another.
You can close your jaw now. Yes, that pass did happen.

Amir Johnson's first and second pitch for the Blue Jays were equally terrible.
The bounce pass is cool, but I am pretty sure that's not how baseball works.

Raptors' Jonas Valanciunas can do a perfect "Borat" impression.
This should be the coolest thing and JV's impression is, but "Borat" just wasn't that great of a movie, then again I couldn't understand half of the jokes under his incomprehensible accent. The 15 year old me did, (yes, I snuck into a rate R film, don't judge me, its not like you haven't done it when you were younger) erupt into an obnoxious laughter during the fight scene.

Amir Johnson, NBA Player By Day, Photographer Also By Day.
Some NBA players have a knack for finding the right camera for the perfect photo, and then there is Amir Johnson, who finds the actual camera, and takes unwanted close-up photos of his teammates, while leaving them hanging in the process.

Terrence Ross's 360 dunk on the Timberwolves.
Okay, not a full 360, more like a 180, but anything that remotely reminds me of Vince Carter's in game dunks, is alright with me.

Jose Calderon nearly walks into the wrong locker room.
Awww. You can't really blame Jose, he spent the last 8 and a half seasons as a Toronto Raptor, so it is only natural for him to walk right into the Raptors locker room. Don't know how his new Detroit Piston teammates will feel about all of this though, definitely not the greatest team bonding moment there.

Amir Johnson and Jonas Valaciunas lock arms to form an impenetrable double screen.
Yea, this is not exactly what you will find in a NBA Playbook of any kind, but it does remind me of a game I used to play as a child and the Raptors clearly have no idea what the rules are. You know the game, Red Rover, where children stand side by side, hand in hand (Note: this is also one of the rare occasions where boys will risk the chances of catching cooties, to come in contact of the other known species on Earth, called girls) to form some sort of human wall/gate on opposing sides, and take turns to yell "Red Rover, Red Rover, We want *insert name here* to come over," as they brace themselves, to merciless knock down, the said person to the ground. And as a veteran of the game, I can tell you that the most viable way to get pass, without any hiccups, were to go through the linked arms of girls, because let's be real, no one wants to be Billy, and be that guy that runs through two ham sized arms of two boys in early puberty. I don't know if aware of this, but getting clothes-lined is never fun. And now that I think about it, Elementary school was a pretty cruel place.

J.R. Smith doesn't do sportsmanship.
J.R. Smith is at fault, but the Raptors have to take some blame for letting this happen again. They have got to play defense for the entire game, down 24 or not, you have to play until the clock expires. You would think they would learn after the whole Caron Butler incident, but come on, this is the second time something like this has happened to the Raptors, in this season. Where's the respect, guys? What? Is Canada not cool enough for you? (I'm Canadian and I think I am offended.)
The Round Up - March 23rd, 2013.

What?!
Carnivorous Bears: The Marc Gasol-less Memphis Grizzlies had a 21 point lead on the Boston Celtics, early in the 4th quarter. But then weird things happened and the Celtics second unit erupted for a 21-4 run to cut the the deficit to 4. Unfortunately, for them, that was as close as would get as they drop their 4th straight, all without Kevin Garnett. Boston are now only 1.5 games ahead of Milwaukee and is clinging on to the 7th seed for dear life. Paul Pierce had a team-high 26 points (10 of 17) and 6 rebounds. Meanwhile, Jerryd Bayless of the Grizzlies came off the bench for 30 points on 11 of 20 shooting in the win.
Defense: When the Indiana Pacers play against the Chicago Bulls, things usually get really ugly and last night was not an exception. Both teams shot under 43 percent from the field, with the team shooting the best percentage coming out on top. Luol Deng had 20 points (7 of 14) and 7 rebounds in the Bulls' win. Carlos Boozer added 18 points on 8 of 15 shooting and 10 boards. Indiana got little to no help from their bench, shooting a horrendous 39 percent as the team, with Paul George in the lead with 23 points (9 of 20) and 11 rebounds.
A Few Notes: In the absence of Ty Lawon (heel), the Denver Nuggets were still able to extend their winning streak to 15 in the near escape from the Sacramento Kings. Kenneth Faried led the way with 17 points (7 of 12) and 9 rebounds. His teammates were no slouches either, with everyone scoring at least two points for Denver. King's DeMarcus Cousins had 24 points (10 of 16) and 15 boards in the losing effort.
Fantasy Shoutouts: Kemba Walker of the Charlotte Bobcats had a game-high 25 points (10 of 20) and 4 steals, in the one point loss to the Detroit Pistons. It was Charlie Villanueva who hits the game winning lay up with 15 seconds remaining. The Bobcats had two opportunities down the stretch to win it, but Kemba Walker's jumper would fall short and Josh McRobert's put back attempt on an offensive rebound would get blocked by Rodney Stuckey.
Carmelo Anthony went off for 28 points on 9 of 19 shooting and 8 boards in the second of the back to back games against the Toronto Raptors. J.R. Smith came off the bench for 25 points (9 of 16) and 5 rebounds in the 26 point victory over the league's only team in Canada.
Stephen Curry found his shooting stroke again in this win over the Washington Wizards. He had 35 points on 13 of 18 shooting (6 of 10 from three) and 8 dimes. But like everything else in life, all good things would eventually come to an end, as the point guard rolls his ankle in the fourth quarter and never returned. However, it did help the Warriors, that John Wall would later get ejected in the same quarter after going nutzo on Klay Thompson with threats and stuff.

Landry Fields nails a mop boy in the head on his full court heave.
Here I thought Landry was a good guy, but this dude didn't even apologize for shaving more hair off the innocent mop
