As we could probably say every year, the world of sports in 2012 was a memorable one. As usual, we had epic fails, incredible plays and heroic moments. And just when we thought we had seen it all, December gave us such gems as the "Worst Free Throw Ever" and a nominee for best death stare, courtesy of Spike Lee. Of course, there was also more of the same. You know, like the Jets continuing to fail and Kobe being Kobe, but let's not waste another minute. Go ahead and check out The 25 Best Sports GIFs of December 2012.
25. The Spike Lee Death Stare
Date: 12/21/2012
Spike may not be on Kobe's level, but this death stare is still highly effective.
24. Just Shoot Me
Date: 12/30/2012
You had a choice, Braylon. But you chose the Jets circus. Welcome back?
23. My Name is Earl
Date: 12/18/2012
Why couldn't Kenneth Faried blow chunks all over his teammates? That's what the Internet is made for.
22. The Wade Boggs Boogie
Date: 12/18/2012
No way Wade Boggs still has that much hair. And that dance is straight off To Catch a Predator. Make it stop.
21. Darren Collison's Crane Technique
Date: 12/27/2012
Might be buzzer beater of the year. Plus it let OJ off the hook.
20. JaFail McGee
Date: 12/25/2012
JaVale will always be an enigma. Sometimes he forgets that he's built like a tree and forgets to play defense. His face says it all.
19. Kyrie Irving Spins and Wins
Date: 12/15/2012
He probably would've still did this if Kidd was ten years younger. Don't front. Kyrie is a bad boy.
18. Rond-uh-oh
Date: 12/12/2012
We knew Rondo couldn't shoot jumpers but this is ridiculous!
17. Rhynoski
Date: 12/30/2012
Henry Hynoski is a throwback and will be a living legend. Trust us.
16. Carlos Boozer Surprise Face
Date: 12/11/2012
That's funny. We made the same face when we saw Boozer's Sharpie-inspired hair.
15. Never Has, Never Will
Date: 12/2/2012
Rasheed Wallace is a poet. He left the game with this and it should be enough for induction into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame.
14. Everyone Hates Kris
Date: 12/12/2012
We're starting to feel bad for this guy.
13. Men of Respect
Date: 12/30/2012
Arian Foster pays tribute to Chuck Pagano. Class Act.
12. J.R. Smith El Salsero
Date: 12/26/2012
Wepa!
10. Cullen Jenkins is a Liar
Date: 12/2/2012
A bold face liar.
9. Good Luck Chuck
Date: 12/30/2012
The Colts magical season continues. We'll definetly be rooting for them. Sidenote: We see you, Mario Harvey (No. 54). Let that boy cook!
8. Creepy Dukies
Date: 12/29/2012
They shouldn't be allowed within 200 ft. of a School Zone.
7. Kobe's Frank Lucas
Date: 12/25/2012
Pimpin' been pimpin' since Pimpin', pimpin'. Give 'em some baby powder.
6. Digging For Gold
Date: 12/30/2012
His brain must've been itching like a mug.
5. Wes Welker Pooted
Date: 12/30/2012
Talk about coughing it up.
4. No Love For the Elderly
Date: 12/16/2012
Poor guy. No one didn't even go to check on the old man. Danny Amendola spikes footballs on old people. The worst kind of human.
3. The Worst Free Throw Ever
Date: 12/8/2012
He should be ashamed of himself. How dare he show his face in public. The audacity, the gall. OK, we're done.
2. Block of the Year
Date: 12/1/2012
Nebraska's Kenny Bell didn't have to light that kid up like that. Devin Smith's body had to go cold. He should retire from the sport.
1. The New Manny Pacquiao Skateboard
Date: 12/8/2012
This was under every kid's Christmas tree this year. We hope you got yours because we got ours.
