My favorite blooper reel, Shaqtin’ A Fool, is about a few weeks away from being crowned. Here are my “highlight” plays, my top ten.
10: Marcus Smart, greatest flop in NBA History. Boston vs Atlanta playoff series.
9. James Harden, pulling an Otto Porter countless times this season.
8. JaVale McGee, checking into a game with his warm-up pants on.
7. Josh Smith, a new record 25 step travel.
6. Rajon Rondo, annoying the referee who was trying to get him to inbound the ball.
5. D’Angelo Russell, playing defense against his own teammate.
4. Drew Gooden, trying to flop but failing to successfully do so.
3. Dirk Nowitzki, bunny-hopping three times while posting up a defender.
2. Garlon Green, after the other team misses a free throw, he dunks the ball in his own hoop.
1. Jermaine Marshall, was supposed to run out the clock, but lays the ball into his own hoop. His team went on to lose the game in overtime.
My 2016 Shaqtin’ MVP: James Harden, for countless contributions this season.
Can’t wait for next season.
