Oklahoma City Thunder – Kevin Durant Leading a Dirty Bunch
The rise of the Oklahoma City Thunder in the last three seasons has turned them into media darlings, but if you just scratch the surface, this team isn’t as nice like some make them out to be. Not villains, but Kevin Durant is leading a very tough group towards another NBA final, because you don’t win NBA championships by being nice.

Serge Ibaka Punches Blake Griffin in the Groin
It’s only cheating if you get caught – you know the drill.

LeBron James With Amazing One-Handed Alley Oop
While we get to see an alley-oop dunk from LeBron James in pretty much every game he plays, usually connecting with Dwyane Wade as his assist man, sometimes it’s a bit more special than usual.
