May is the month of NBA Playoff basketball, the NHL Playoffs, and the Champions Cup. We're not here to just see vindications of athletic accomplishments though. You saw the memes from Kevin Durant's heartfelt thank you to his mother. We came for some shenanigans, too; nobody got time to be inspired and shit.

Westbrook didn't really fail—being Westbrook is enough to make The Best and Worst Sports GIFs of May 2014.
