Like every year except 2011, November gives us two things to be thankful for, and that's football and basketball. This is the month the sports at both a collegiate and professional level are in full swing, and with full swings come big misses. The obvious ones from this month include Jason Kidd and Mike Tomlin trying to cheat in ridiculous ways, but there were other crazy things that went down. For example, team mascots can awaken that team spirit if—and only if—they're conscious.
November has a little more wins than fails, however. Russell Westbrook's game winner is one of the bigger examples, but what about Adrian Peterson's run in which the only flaw is the jersey he's contractually obligated to wear and Auburn's crazy win last night. Relive the second to last month of the year with The Best Sports GIFs of November 2013.
