The Most Absurd Moments in NBA History

SPEAKER_1 (0:00)

These are the 26 Most Ridiculous Moments This Season. And first up, Norman Powell makes Julius Randall his poster child. 821, T-Six.

SPEAKER_2 (0:15)

That's the sassy stuff. Powell tucking trash.

SPEAKER_1 (0:20)

Teammates going berserk.

SPEAKER_3 (0:23)

This 312 to play, Norman.

SPEAKER_1 (0:25)

Forget rock and roll and hip hop, Bro put his soul into that dunk. Unlike Jeremy Sohan, who's shooting free throws with only one hand.

SPEAKER_4 (0:33)

Big 12, only shooting 46% at the line so far as it would be.

SPEAKER_1 (0:39)

Come on, man. This isn't shoot around practice. This is the big leagues. But up next, Kamp Johnson puts the entire NBA world on notice.

SPEAKER_5 (0:58)

He had his eyes on this shot.

SPEAKER_1 (1:01)

Sheesh, a behind the back dribble, a spin midair, and the finish? Rose practically turning into the professor. Although, I've never seen the professor do this.

SPEAKER_4 (1:10)

He's in toward Wesley.

SPEAKER_6 (1:12)

Whoa, cross over move by Mitchell.

SPEAKER_3 (1:16)

Oh, my.

SPEAKER_6 (1:17)

Mitchell with the move, jack the youngster.

SPEAKER_1 (1:19)

Damn, Donovan Mitchell gave Jamie Sohan his welcome to the league moment. On the other hand, Kelly Olynyk already got his welcome to the league moment. So instead, Tyrese Halliburton gave Olynyk his time to retire moment.

SPEAKER_3 (1:34)

That's right hand.

SPEAKER_4 (1:36)

Smith sent a screen, Halliburton.

SPEAKER_7 (1:39)

Fight! Oh, he's looking for help.

SPEAKER_6 (1:44)

Halliburton Olynyk's looking around like there's some help.

SPEAKER_1 (1:46)

Bro just got quarantined and embarrassed on the same play. But imagine, not just fooling one player, but fooling an entire team.

SPEAKER_2 (1:54)

Thank you, OKC.

SPEAKER_6 (1:56)

Into the lane.

SPEAKER_1 (2:05)

My Gs got faked out so badly, they think they're in the metaverse. And speaking of which, I heard the metaverse runs on dang time. But seriously, someone needs to get little of the new watch.

Dame outside, no one opens. Time running down, 11 on the shot clock, thrills at three, cause bro's out here shooting half course shots, and the shot clock hasn't even hit 10 yet. They're 12 seconds on the shot clock. He did not have to shoot them. Which reminds me, our countdown is just getting started, because still to come, one player made a shot so outrageous, they were invited to perform at the circus. Meanwhile, another player somehow scored on their own basket, and don't even get me started on Donovan Mitchell. Only first, let's get back to the countdown, cause it's one thing to get violated by Damian Lillard, it's another to get violated by a commentator. Because on January 19th, 2023, the Suns were almost a lot to beat the Nets. So with six seconds left, they sent Nick Claxton to the line, down three in need of some magic.

SPEAKER_2 (2:59)

10% from the line.

SPEAKER_4 (3:00)

He's two of four tonight. This is the most important one right here.

SPEAKER_6 (3:09)

Now he's got a purposely miss.

SPEAKER_1 (3:11)

But while Nets fans were on the edge of their seats, Reggie Miller was straight up clowning Claxton.

SPEAKER_2 (3:16)

And don't tell Nick Claxton to miss it on purpose. Come to shoot it regular, because he's going to miss it.

SPEAKER_6 (3:21)

He's still on purpose. It's in some side. Don't, he didn't need to do it.

SPEAKER_2 (3:26)

Shoot regular, because you're going to miss it anyways.

SPEAKER_1 (3:28)

Oh yeah, I forgot. Hey yo, Reggie Miller, how many championships did you win again? But now, it's not Reggie making front of Nick Claxton, it's Patrick Beverly making front of the point god himself, Chris Paul.

SPEAKER_3 (3:39)

Good deal of their points and their scoring in the paint. Five to shoot.

Patrick Beverly to start.

SPEAKER_6 (3:49)

They also need their defense to pick up as he gets into the middle.

SPEAKER_1 (3:52)

How about man's going to call CB3 small while down 26? No wonder the Lakers don't want him. But enough about smack talk. How about the time Ja Morant put his nuts in Jalen Smith's face? What do you mean by that?

SPEAKER_3 (4:03)

He does not have a good handle. Dias Jones has joined Ja Morant in the backcourt.

SPEAKER_4 (4:09)

Morant splits the deep.

SPEAKER_6 (4:17)

He cranked that thing back.

SPEAKER_1 (4:19)

Bro didn't just put peanuts in Smith's face, he roasted them too. That said, CJ McCollum almost had a taste himself if it weren't for a last second change.

SPEAKER_4 (4:27)

Free up Murphy.

SPEAKER_7 (4:29)

Oh, two drop in changes.

SPEAKER_4 (4:31)

Goes at the right and finishes with the left.

SPEAKER_1 (4:34)

One second, Jaws ready to put his nuts in McCollum's face. The next, he decides McCollum doesn't even deserve to taste his nuts. What? Unreal. Although enough about nuts. I know what y'all really came here to see. Steph Curry doing things only Steph Curry can do.
