Out of Bounds: Man on the Moon

The Stupid, Funny Thing of the Day

If you’ve seen “Man on the Moon” starring Jim Carrey playing the famous comedian Andy Kauffman, you truly have to be a fan of San Antonio Spurs’ forward Matt Bonner. Seriously, once he decides to hang up the sneakers or his three-point shot dies overnight, the Red Rocket needs to be a comedian himself. Bonner and the Spurs took part in skits as part of an auction for charity, but he clearly should have got paid for his performance.

Everyone’s going to have to keep track of this kid in the coming years…Class of 2016 Hammond School guard Seventh Woods from Columbia, South Carolina has a long ways to go before we can declare him the new LeBron, but wow can he jump! This mixtape doesn’t show off a lot of other needed basketball skills to make it to the NBA, but he can develop those in college right? This kind of freaky athleticism doesn’t belong to most high school athletes, especially a sophomore. It’ll be interesting what becomes of Seventh as develops but we can just sit back and enjoy this for now.
