3. Tony Parker Wore Awesome Goggles

He has to wear them as a result of an eye injury sustained in the Drake-Chris Brown club fight. No, seriously.

It’s cool to hear how these guys actually talk on the floor, rather than the Disneyfied version.

5. Creepy LeBron Was Creepy

6. Kobe Wasn’t Having Fun Even Though The US Was Up By 14

7. James Harden Did His Michael Jordan Impression

8. Kobe Finally Had Fun And Was Adorable With LeBron

9. Sideline Reporter Craig Sager Wore Normal Clothes

I cannot express to you how rare this is.

10. Carmelo Gave Kevin Seraphin A Great Big Hug

Every single thing about this picture looks uncomfortable. I love it so much that I would tell it that I would match any offer it received up to a billion dollars and then I would follow through on that promise. You know, just to pull a metaphor out of the air.
