The NBA provides us with more ooh’s and ahh’s on a nightly basis than maybe any other sport on the planet. From high-flying jams, to buzzer-beating threes, it’s hard to top the drama and excitement of the Association. And with the playoffs just on the horizon, NBA fans are gearing up for what’s sure to be another amazing run on the quest to hoist the Larry O’Brien Trophy.

With that said, for every ooh and ahh generated by the league, there’s also those moments of head-scratching madness and hapless laughter that make the NBA great as well. End of the year awards and accolades maybe up for grabs, but we’d like to take this opportunity to honor the other part of the game. The part that shows that guys like Russell Westbrook and Paul Pierce are in fact, human. Watch some of your favorite players act a fool in the 25 Biggest Fails of the 2012-13 NBA Season in GIFs.
