Bro, you might wanna put some sand or something in the base of the hoop.

Nothing but net.

Louisville's Chane Behanan throws it do…never mind.

The camera goes up for the jam, but Glenn Davis doesn't quite get there.

Even though Gerald Green airmailed the hoop, he still hangs on the rim like he threw it down.

The reaction of Miami Hurricane's mascot Sebastian says it all, really.

Just another highlight reel moment from the 2013-14 Knicks season.

This might've been the most watched GIF of the 2013-14 NBA season. #knickstape

Just why?

Pretty sure only the ball is supposed to go through the hoop, fam.

This had to be the most flair-less dunk contest in the history of the world.

Kevin Durant to Serge Ibaka to…Jerryd Bayless??

The rims must be a little higher at the Staples Center.

We're not exactly sure what kept this ball out of the hoop, but this game would also go three overtimes before the Bulls took a 3-1 series lead.

We know Steph Curry isn't the tallest dude in the league, but he really does look like a little kid going for the jam here.

Russell Westbrook clanked this dunk so hard off the back rim that it turned into an assist.

Maybe Chris Bosh was the most valuable player on the Heat all along.

This is what happens when the rim says, 'no' with authority.

Wearing that helmet looks like the smartest play in the book after watching this backyard disaster.

Former Clemson Tiger Terrence Oglesby was anything but great on this dunk attempt. SMH is right.

When you Google the word failure, this is what comes up.

Less beer, more testing out the hoop you just put up for your kid, dad.

The dunk may have been a success, but the pegging afterwards and subsequent tumble makes for a day this young man would probably like to forget.

While the slip probably hurts more, it inevitably saved him from the missed dunk that would've been.

Even the king can be made to look like a jester.

At least it's comforting to know the parents never once thought about sacrificing the video to, you know, help save their child.

It was almost a Christmas miracle.

Here's exactly what you shouldn't do during the first month of school in an attempt to make friends. This dude is done for the next four years. SMH. You just had to take your shirt off, right?

Coming up short on the dunk attempt is one thing, tripping and falling face first in front of the entire nation is quite another.

This fail is the reason GIFs were created in the first place. Fun fact: Atlanta is one of the 25 fattest cities in America according to Men's Fitness.
