Can anybody recall any moments in the NBA/College Basketball that left you in stitches? As a Celtic fan I laughed when Ron Artest repeatedly pulled Paul Pierce's shorts down during a game at the Garden. Pierce kept running around in circles trying to avoid him and Artest just kept chasing him. Then Artest attempted to apologize to Pierce on the Best Damn Sports Show with some sort of a song. Pierce later returned the favor some melodies of his own

Back in the day (late 90s) the University of Iowa had a terrible player named Jacob Jakes who was probably the dirtiest player I have ever seen, plus he is a big ugly white guy. Think Brian Cardinal with less talent. He would cheep shot people, throw wild elbows when rebounding, take flops. Anyway, he would guard in bounds passes by jumping up and down, waving his arms, yelling, and occasionally falling into the guy passing the ball. I believe the game was against Indiana and the opposing player got so angry that he intentionally threw the ball as hard as he could at Jakes face. I am not sure if he was milking it or was really hurt but he layed on the court for a quite a while. I am an Iowa grad and even I stood up and applauded.

Similar, but not as funny.
Hmm, I can't really think of any funny moments. I remember one at the MCI center between the Wizards and the Pacers where that guy proposed, but the lady said no and ran away, leaving him hanging.

That sucked at the time, but now it's hilarious to think about.

I think vince Carter slapping Mo Pete, and Mo Pete slapping him back with Mo being the one to be ejected is perhaps the funniest NBA moment I have witnessed.
Another classic Ricky Davis moment was when he intentionally missed a shot at his own basket so he could get his first triple double. Man he has done some stupid stuff, but I am still a fan
I hate it when players miss a shot on purpose so they can get their own rebound for a triple double. They worry about their stats like a bunch of sissies. Back then, players like Oscar Robertson didnt worry about stats and yet he still averaged a triple double, and remember, it was hard to get assists back then than today. Players shouldnt worry about stats that much where they miss on purpose to get a triple double. Do it like Oscar Robertson, play your game and dont worry about it, so do it the hard way, not the wussy way.
When Gilbert Arenas was a rookie he got the normal rookie treatment. One day they sent him out to get a bunch of powdered donuts. He brushed all the powder off and applied baby powder to them. 3-4 guys starting eating the baby powder donuts then they almost throw up. Arenas could not stop laughing. Steve Francis said he would be called "explosive" too if he were allowed to shoot as much as Gilbert Arenas. With a straight face, Arenas replied: "I'd be called a closet case too if I cried about Cuttino Mobley every night." Jordan came down the lane against the Jazz and dunked on John Stockton. Then somebody in the crowd yelled "Dunk on somebody your on size" The very next play he dunked on 6'11 Mel Turpin. Went over to the fan and said "Is he big enough" From the funny nba quotes thread, "That didn't bother me. I am not going to worry about a guy trying to be tough with a pink tie on." - Ben Wallace, on the injured Marcus Fizer acting like he was going to come off the Bulls bench and fight. "I didn't even know Elvis was from Memphis, I thought he was from Tennessee" - Drew Gooden At the news conference introducing Alvin Gentry as new coach of the LA Clippers Question: Didn't you have any friends warning you not to take the job with the Clippers? Gentry: They all encouraged me to take the job. Question: You don't have any friends, do you? Don Nelson on Dirk Nowitzki's new crew cut: "I didn't know he was that ugly. I thought he was a pretty good looking fella when he had hair, but, oh my goodness, did that bring out all his bad features or what. He's going to be single all the rest of his life!" Joe Kleine (Pho): "Charles [Barkley] and I have no-trade clauses. His is written in. Mine, well, nobody wants to trade for me."
Here is another one, Bill Russell voted Walt Frazier for the 1969 defensive player of the year award despite being in the running himself. Haha.

Ricky is a funny character though
Good Wally moment, he did a pump fake and the defender got caught in air and accindentally kicked Wally in the face. I cant remember who it was now.
