One Frame At A Time: IUPUI
Filed under:
If last night's blowout of IUPUI was any indication, this is going to be a very gif-friendly team. Today's lead image, however, is not a posterizing dunk, thunderous block, ankle-breaking crossover, clutch three-pointer, or pinpoint pass. It doesn't even contain a basketball player. How does that happen? Complete and utter dedication to Gangnam Style, that's how:
Incredulous girl in the background is almost as good as the dancer himself. Almost.
[Heyyyyyyyy sexy ladies (and gentlemen, sure) hit THE JUMP for the rest of the gifs.]

Either Bacari Alexander has some strange and innovative motivational tactics or he missed his calling as a henchman in the Home Alone series:
Jordan Morgan does surprising things, Part I:
Part II:
Part III, wsg Glenn Robinson III:
Sometimes Jon Horford wanders. Sometimes he wanders into the lane and dunks all over two dudes. This is one of those times:
Hey if this is a dunk party Tim Hardaway Jr. would like you to know he's attending, invitation or no:
Detroit News beat guy Rod Beard has started tweeting "Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V" when Nik Stauskas hits threes. This is why:
Finally, Corey Person nailed a three in garbage time, and the bench reacted accordingly:
Gonna be a fun year, you guys.

I think Bacardi did this same thing before a game last year. He said something along the lines of "Everyone has to be taped together to play as a team"...or something like that.

Jordan Morgan stuck to the game plan. That got him dubbed 'Death Star'.
I admit it. I'm proud of this one.

That guy actually taught me the dance at a soccer game this year. Sadly, I cannot pull it off quite as well, and not nearly as shameless, as he does.

the dance man is a poster here on the blog? If so, what a site to see when logging on for the first time.

I can't imagine how red my face would turn if I logged in and saw i'd been GIF'd like that. Then I would show everyone that I could, while they roll their eyes.

The girl's attention to detail should be commended: maize cami, blue sweater, blue hair tie on the wrist. Also, Gangnam Style guy is wearing two Adidas wristbands -- DB approves.

Incredulous Girl really is the key to that gif. I mean, the guy's dancing is quality, but by itself it's just a clip of another overzealous sports fan. Throw in Incredulous Girl having her breath taken away in slo-mo and it's pure win.

You are awesome. I commend you for understanding the key to good dancing: COMMIT THYSELF. Too many guys think it will look cooler if they just stay kind of half-assed about it. But no. Gotta go all in. Catnip for the ladies.

Candace: No... That why they make smart word box for tell monkey hard brain-hurty things.

Have you ever gotten goosebumps because you are so embarrassed... for someone else?
That's what's happening to the incredulous girl in the first gif.
