The Funniest Videos of Athletes Doing Stupid Stuff

Athletes have had a lot of time off recently, what with the NFL and NBA lockouts. And thanks to the wonders of the Internet, we're now privy to all the wacky things they do when they aren't actually playing the game.

Some, like Kevin Durant, find time to play a little bit of touch football. Others, as you will see on this list, take a few minutes to do the Cinnamon test.

And so, in honor of all the times athletes have acted the fool and posted the evidence online, I compiled the following slideshow.

You'll laugh. You'll cry. You'll probably wince. And you'll most certainly make sure one of your friends isn't filming the next time you do something stupid.

Nate Robinson Is Not Shaq

Which becomes evident when he puts his shoes on.

He is Donkey from Shrek, however.

Deion Sanders Gives Tim McCarver a Bath

Deion didn't appreciate how Tim McCarver insulted him for playing a football game the day before he had a playoff baseball game in 1992.

Thankfully, Deion handled it like a man.

Chris Kaman Shoots a Barret .50 Caliber Rifle

Do not—I repeat, do not—attempt to break into Chris Kaman's residence.

You won't last as long as that car did.

Delonte West at KFC

Hot sauce in the bag!

There isn't much more to say than that. Just watch and enjoy.

Chad Ochocinco Never Actually Rides the Bull

I'm fairly certain this bull is symbolic of the Patriots' offense this year.

Sapong's Song

C.J. Sapong, a Sporting KC forward, professed his love for Hope solo in this poem/rap song.

While he shouldn't quit his day job, Sapong seemed to charm Solo with his efforts. It took some guts with all the cameras around.

Rudy Gay Dunks on a 25-Foot Hoop

The caption for this video states, "MTV star Rob Dyrdek has a 25-foot basketball rim hangin' at his legendary Fantasy Factory indoor skate park...and last night, NBA superstar Rudy Gay decided it needed to be DUNKED ON."

Blake Griffin would have jumped over a car before dunking on a 25-foot rim. Step up your game, Gay.

LaDainian Tomlinson's Electric Glide

What in the hell is happening right now?

This is stranger than Chris Paul showing up on Family Feud. By the way, that Family Feud is just amazing, from Joey Fatone introducing the show to the unintentionally stereotypical O'Hara family accent.

Metta World Peace Is Being Funny or Something

Or something.

He should try dancing.

Dwight Howard Impersonates Shaq

His Stan Van Gundy is better, however.

But the best one has to be his Charles Barkley.

Chris Bosh Wanted Your Vote

Lord knows what he must have done when he wanted to be voted Prom King.

He should make a video like the one above and send it to the media to remind them that D-Wade and LeBron aren't the only stars on the Heat.

Deron Williams's Back Flip

This is the classic example of an act that is simultaneously badass and incredibly stupid at the same time. Let's do a risk/reward analysis on this one.

Risk—Seriously injuring yourself and jeopardizing your career and the millions upon millions of dollars you can still earn in the future.

Reward—The people who see this video will think you are a badass.

Too close to call.

Nick Young and JaVale McGee Do the Cinnamon Challenge

Thank heavens the NBA lockout has ended.

JaVale McGee Planking

Don't worry, this isn't going to slip into the dark and abysmal depths that is a planking compilation. But a list such as this could not be compiled without giving planking proper credit for being one of the dumbest fads ever.

And this is a pretty good one by Mr. McGee, so it makes the list.

Blake Griffin Planking

Okay, one more planking video.

It should also be noted Griffin is a pretty funny guy who has put out some decent videos during the lockout. This wasn't necessarily a highlight.

Maybe the Occupy people should start incorporating planking into their protests. Then again, that sort of meme within a meme might rip a hole in the space-time continuum.

My name is Timothy Rapp, and I put the "grrrr" in Swagger.
