Spotted: NBC LA Mistakenly Uses Sacramento Kings Logo In Lieu of LA Kings Logo

NBC’s Los Angeles news affiliate suffered some mistaken identity on Monday, after erroneously using a Sacramento Kings logo in place of an LA Kings logo during a segment on the playoff fever currently underway in the city of Angels, and making anchor Chuck Henry look foolish.

Naturally LA is buzzing, as the Clippers, Lakers and Kings are all still in the playoffs, with the Kings looking poised to hoist the Stanley Cup in the near future, but this shouldn’t be seen as a slap in the face to the Kings and/or hockey by fellow Angelenos.

Having worked in the sports entertainment as a Broadcast Associate for a few years, one of the maxim’s that is constantly pounded into your brain is to always check your graphics for accuracy.

This is because generally the graphics operators responsible for building them aren’t the most sports savvy, so things which should assumed to be common knowledge, like the proper logo for a sports team, usually aren’t.

Jajaja: Russell Westbrook Looks Like Mix of Rich Man’s Urkel and Sally Jessy Raphael

To celebrate the Thunder’s win over the Lakers in Game 1 of a Western Conference semis, Russell Westbrook decided to exhibit some questionable fit decisions, rocking an Urkel-esque fishing-themed polo and some Sally Jessy Raphael red glasses to boot.

Although many were quick to try and clown on Westbrook for the outfit, present company included, it should also be noted that the all-star guard just finished getting all up in the Lakers’ a$$ like a wedgie, which means he can dress however he damn well pleases.

After signing a long term extension with the Thunder in mid January, Westbrook is following the lyrics to a famous Yeezy track, and after waiting to get his money right, he has proceeded to let everyone know that they can’t tell him nothing.

Jajaja: This Parody Bulls Gone Fishing Photoshop Is Fairly Legendary

TNT’s Inside the NBA has become legendary for their Gone Fishing memes, to “celebrate” each team’s exit from the playoffs.

Although this Bulls Gone Fishing meme appears to be a parody of the one’s done on Inside the NBA, it is still legendary on multiple levels, including the Legendary shot of Kanye West from his VMA meltdown holding a box of Theraflu over the head of his new boo Kim Kardashian.

In The Face: Ryan Hollins Catches Lob From Rondo and Skeets All Over Spencer Hawes

Dunk Score: 9.6

After psyching out the entire Sixers defense, Rajon Rondo decided to reward his big man for running hard and proceeded to throw a sick lob to Ryan Hollins, who finished with a nice one-handed facial to the dome of Spencer Hawes.

Hollins celebrated the dunk by getting hype, but also appeared to be holding in a boo boo as he ran down the court.

The dunk would prove to be nullified by the Sixers stealing Game 2 at the Garden, to take homecourt advantage as the series heads back to Philly.

Spotted: Kimye (Kanye and Kim Kardashian) Cupcaking at Lakers-Nuggets Game 7

Kanye West and Kim Kardashian, the couple affectionately dubbed “Kimye” by the squares, made an appearance courtside for the Game 7 matchup between the Lakers and Nuggets and came close to setting a celebrity cupcaking record at an NBA game.

The couple was spotted numerous times throughout the game cuddling and canoodling like they thought that they were at a (Cup)Cakers game and not a Lakers game.

It’s hard to blame Yeezy for wanting to wife a chick with as many “assets” as Kim Kardashian, as many men would love to be all up in Kim’s cheeks like a wedgie, even though that probably wouldn’t last longer than a TV timeout trying to handle all that thickness.

Some may try to clown Kanye for publicly loving a chick that made a porno with Ray-J and put a ring on Kris Humphries, but any time that your Boo can compete with you in a game of big bank take little bank, she got to be a winner and not a chicken dinner.

Damn! Drunk Dude Tries To Jump Off 3-Story Apartment Into Pool and Fails Miserably

If you ever needed a good reason not to jump off of a 3-story building in an attempt to land in a pool, then look no further than this gem, featuring an inebriated Colorado State student nearly taking his own life in an attempt to show off for some onlookers.

I would say that this is almost as ridiculous as that video from a while ago of that crackhead doing a backflip off of a building, with the only differences being there was a pool waiting for this dude at the bottom, instead of some of that rock.

The dude comes oh so close to landing in the water, but unfortunately falls a few feet short and smacks the concrete before eventually tumbling into the water in a bloody mess.

Word is dude had to be taken to the hospital and is in critical condition in what has to be one of the dumbest moment of his life.

This reminds of that legendary photo of Tyler Hansbrough jumping from the roof of a frat house into a pool back a few years back when he was living a basketball version of (a much squarer) Van Wilder. Except Hansbrough landed in the pool of course.

Swag: The Evolution of James Harden Shirt

When your beard is as Legendary as James Harden’s, it’s only right that it gets some love on a shirt as Legendary as this new “Evolution of Harden – Big Time Edition” which features the progression of the 2012’s NBA Sixth Man Award winner’s most recognizable asset.

The shirt features a yearly progression of Harden’s beard, from its tame early stages to its eventual destination several years from as Harden turns into another Legend in former A-Team star and/or Clubber Lang, none other than Mr. T.

AEG Drops New 3D Video Showcasing Farmers Field

Despite being notorious as one of the most fair weather, frontrunner bandwagoning cities in the world, Los Angelenos should be getting excited about AEG’s new crown jewel, Farmers Field, set to open in Downtown by 2016.

The new multi-purpose venue is set to occupy the land once used by the Los Angeles Convention Center, and should prove to create even bigger traffic jams as the city tries to accommodate the burgeoning mecca with some reliable public transit that actually takes people where they want to go.

Although Los Angeles still doesn’t have an NFL football team to call its own, the new stadium should do much to attract at least one team back to the city of Lakers, Clippers, Dodgers, Kings, Galaxy and yes, even Angels if you’ve never heard of Orange County.

Its unclear how Farmers Field will be impacted by talk of a potential stadium being built in Chavez Ravine, the current home of the Dodgers, but a city like LA deserves to have at least one football team, but preferably two, because one is so close to none.
