1. Goal tending!!!

[Warren DeMontague]

2. So was he at least a 3 pointer?

[kentauros]

3. 3 points,

plus 0.1415...

[Warren DeMontague]

5. Too much pi

indeed.

21. This proves that pie are not square

they are round.

4. I'd like to see the size of the guy that tried to dunk him

[Historic NY]

6. It was a full court press...

[treestar]

7. What state of mind led to being in that predicament?

If he'd had a shirt on, would it have been less newsworthy?

[Historic NY]

24. Chemicals???

[icymist]

8. This should be set to music.

Maybe Sweet Georgia Brown?

[VScott]

11. Theme from Benny Hill

[frogmarch]

15. Hahaha!

Perfect!

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

18. "Yakety-Sax" Great tune! nt

[dembotoz]

9. and the movie said white men can't jump...

[Generic Brad]

10. He has invented the "Cram Dunk"!

It will eventually become more elaborate. This was the undressed version.

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

12. shirts vs skins?

[awoke_in_2003]

22. That is the common way. nt

[kentuck]

13. 11 cops doing their job.

The guy was obviously in a crisis situation.

[hifiguy]

16. He should have listened to Magic Johnson.

"How many points does a dunk count for? Two. How many points does a layup count for? Two. And it's a lot less demanding on the body."

And you won't get stuck in the hoop, either.

17. his pant cuff was caught. didn't any officer have a pocket knife? where was a ladder or

couldn't one of the 20 men boost up a single officer to cut the cuff?

[Liberal_in_LA]

19. the photo gallery was hilarious

[951-Riverside]

20. Yikes! That was straight out of the walking dead

I'm actually surprised they didn't use him as target practice when he was swinging around the hammer. Too many witnesses :shrugs: but I have to give it to the guy, he's extremely limber and athletic

[Jamastiene]

23. It's all fun and games until someone ends up

stuck in a basketball hoop topless. I think I might have heard that warning from my mother when I was a teenager.

25. Q: How many cops does it take to unscrew a kid from a baskeball hoop? nt

[tularetom]

26. Dude had some abs!

Two or three times he pulled himself up from an upside down hanging position to where his hands were on the rim. Using only his abdominal muscles to accomplish a pull up.

As a kid I could do over 200 sit ups. But I couldn't even dream of doing that.
