Planking: NBA Lockout Edition

With the NBA lockout in full swing and showing no signs of stopping, players have turned to the hottest game around: Planking. What follows is the best the NBA has had to offer this past month.

• 1. Dwight Howard: Barber Plank

  

  Dwight doesn't let a little thing like hair get in the way of a good plank.

• 2. Dwight Howard: Arena Plank

  

  Magic fans are happy Dwight's still planking in front of The Amway Center. Better than Staples.

• 3. Dwight Howard: Counter Plank

  

  With the lockout Dwight's saving money by planking for food.

• 4. Dwight Howard: Cycle Plank

  

  I don't know if you've noticed but some of Dwight's planks seem like bragging.

• 5. Dwight Howard: Mower/Look At My Big House Plank

  

  See what I mean?

• 6. Dwight Howard: Fancy Grill Plank

  

  And again...

• 7. Dwight Howard: Plane Plank

  

  "Oh look I'm Dwight Howard so they let me plank anywhere." Sorry I still haven't forgiven him for beating the Cavs in 09.

• 8. Dwight Howard: Pepsi Plank

  

  "Yeah it's no big deal, but I have a Pepsi machine at my house."

• 9. Dwight Howard: I Have 2 Rolls Royces Plank

  

  See now doesn't he just seem like a dick?

• 10. Gilbert Arenas: EasyPass Plank

  

  Gil, unlike Dwight who is in it to show off his stuff, is in the planking game for the thrill of the hunt. Danger be damned!

• 11. Gilbert Arenas: Piano Plank

  

  Gil was upset when the pianist stopped playing Gershwin. So he planked out of protest till the guy gave up. Agent Zero loves Tin Pan Alley.

• 12. Gilbert Arenas: Bathroom Plank

  

  Gil might be breaking some laws with this one.

• 13. Gilbert Arenas: Dwight's Porsche Plank

  

  Sometimes a plank is a sign of disrespect. Sort of like "Rick James" going all Fuck Yo Couch on Chappelle's Show. But when you say it with a plank, it's elegant.

  Gil's Tweet accompanying this masterful plank: "The trainer said 2mils on the treadmill today..I just planked for 15mins."

  They do seem like they'd be fun to hang out with.

• 17. JaVale McGee: Freezer Plank

  

  A strong debut plank for the Washington big man.

• 18. Blake Griffin: VIDEO PLANK!!!

  This is what Blake Griffin does. He takes things to the next level. Dunking? Check. Looking like Lurch? Check. Planking? What do you think?
