Sports InsiderFunny Television Appearances from NBA Players and Non-PC Humour.

We’re right into the offseason in the NBA, and you know what we here at NBALOUD are doing? Neglecting university assignments, ditching girlfriends and avoiding the sun to watch internet videos of your favourite NBA players living life off the basketball court.
We’ve already established what we think they do in their lives outside of work: showing off their pads and rides on MTV Cribs, drinking Cristal with Diddy, living in a world where the soundtrack to their existence is directly correlated with music that is heavy in 70s bass sounds, or just mugging little white ladies in the suburbs, which is what most critics seem to think NBA players do.
Whatever you may think, players in the Association do have personalities and they are sometimes displayed in the most awkward of manners. Generally speaking pro basketball players are quite media savvy, but when matched against the wits of say, someone like David Letterman, the results can often be quite hilarious!
Players themselves aren’t very funny, Shaquille O’Neal and Charles Barkley, being the exceptions. Actually, Sir Charles is so hilarious that we here right now can vouch with a straight face that Barkley is a two pee guarantee. That is, he is so funny that two drops of pee will materialise when watching Chuck open his gob. Hell, he is witty even when he is talking about something as serious as why the Republicans suck!
We here at NBALOUD searched high and low for the most side-splitting television appearances from pro basketball players. It was exhausting stuff and this writer has sacrificed the pursuit of mediocre university marks to provide entertainment to NBA readers the world over.
Dwayne Wade on The Late Show with David Letterman.
Watch D-Wade strut his stuff the day after he won the NBA title last season with the M-I-A. It is especially funny when Dave asks Dwayne what he got up to after clinching the title, because we can watch the euphemisms fly: “celebrate” in the locker, then “celebrate” back at the hotel. Um, I am no Sherlock Holmes, but we can put two-and-two together. The Heat players were having a knitting party, over tea and scones. Yes, that sounds about right.
LeBron James Gets Jiggy with us in another 90s Flashback.
Yes, the 90s, it’s back with a vengeance don’t you know? The decade which saw the ‘Superficial Friends’ of Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton, Nicole Ritchie and the Olsen twins as non-entities is a time period that should be celebrated!
Not only that, the 90s was the decade that bought us Vanilla Ice and the movie Titanic! Watersheds of pop culture art!
So, how does an NBA player fit with the 90s theme? Well, in the recent ESPY Awards which LeBron James co-hosted, the King got into some MC Hammer pants and channelled Bobby Brown.
We can imagine that after the performance he went on a drug crazed binge and beat up Whitney Houston. Ouch! That wasn’t funny and rather distasteful. Please, make complaints in the comments section.
Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady on Jimmy Kimmel Live.
The first thing that strikes you in this appearance is actually how good Yao’s English is. Yes, it is a lot less Ching-lish than you would imagine. Secondly, Yao is much more hilarious than T-Mac.
That shall be all because this writer is on a self imposed gag order.
Dirk Nowitzki on German Television.
There are two clips we shall finish off with and they involve Dirk Diggler appearing on German TV.
We have no idea about what is being said, but the first one with Dirk on MTV is pretty cool because it shows the Big Sauerkraut balling as a Little Sauerkraut. The fun bit in this video is ab-libbing with the video because no one that speaks German can be evil.
The second clip is allegedly an anti-drug message, but the Kraftwerk soundtrack and marijuana smoke that is evident throughout the ad may make us wonder if it isn’t pro-weed!
