One Frame At A Time: IUPUI
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.]
Note: Remember to click the stills to open each gif in a lightbox, UFR-video-style.
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.

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.

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.

I think you'd find the contrasts are less stark than they initially seem.
November 13th, 2012 at 6:17 PM ^
That sounds good. I'll have that

"Stick to the game plan."
Jordan Morgan stuck to the game plan. That got him dubbed 'Death Star'.
I admit it. I'm proud of this one.
November 13th, 2012 at 5:06 PM ^
Internet.... won.
November 13th, 2012 at 4:37 PM ^
That girl is very aroused.
November 13th, 2012 at 4:40 PM ^
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.
November 13th, 2012 at 4:41 PM ^
the dance man is a poster here on the blog? If so, what a site to see when logging on for the first time.
November 13th, 2012 at 4:49 PM ^
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.
November 13th, 2012 at 6:57 PM ^
I wonder if the dance man is a poster here on the blog?Shhh . . . don't give RDT any ideas.
November 13th, 2012 at 10:20 PM ^
Well I don't think he's a poster here, but he is definintely aware of it as it is his facebook status currently.
November 13th, 2012 at 4:41 PM ^
so much WIN in the gangnam .gif!!!

THJr during the Corey Person Celebration.
Ace, the GIF is a great paintbrush for you.
November 13th, 2012 at 4:59 PM ^
This is about as close as I could reasonably zoom in:

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.
November 13th, 2012 at 5:34 PM ^
Bacari has a racism ban?
November 13th, 2012 at 6:00 PM ^
November 13th, 2012 at 6:49 PM ^
That could be a problem - note the ring on her finger. (Or maybe they are an item?)
November 13th, 2012 at 7:29 PM ^
Wrong finger, bro.
November 13th, 2012 at 7:48 PM ^
Ah yes, good catch.
She's out there, Gangnam Style Guy!
November 13th, 2012 at 10:28 PM ^
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.
November 14th, 2012 at 1:46 AM ^
is nonplussed
November 13th, 2012 at 6:47 PM ^
Look at coach's head on the Morgan backdoor pass. It's like he saw something that made him very astonishingly happy.
November 13th, 2012 at 8:03 PM ^
And I can't stop laughing at it. Well played.
November 14th, 2012 at 10:55 AM ^
And I appreciate the love from you guys. Also, to answer the question: No, I'm sorry to say that I do not know Incredulous Girl
November 14th, 2012 at 12:32 PM ^
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.

Gangnam Style dancing guy wins .gifs. If only I know what Gangnam Style meant.
