I'M GLAD YOU ASKED.

Kevin Garnett just released a video of him doing yoga, which is awesome for about 9700 reasons, chief of which is that yoga doesn't seem violent enough to be something that Kevin Garnett does in his free time.

Kevin Garnett just released a video of him doing yoga, which is awesome for about 9700 reasons, chief of which is that yoga doesn't seem violent enough to be something that Kevin Garnett does in his free time.

Of course, his yoga video bears the question: is he better at yoga than Alex Morgan, who also once made a yoga video?

Garnett is surprisingly flexible at the waist. Look at him fold, like a 7-foot-tall piece of paper.

Morgan bends a little better, though, and she also moves way more fluidly, probably because her limbs aren't longer than most bridges.

One is good, but two is better, especially when both shots are of the “how the hell did he do that” variety.

Tuesday night, the Nets hosted the Bucks in Brooklyn. Despite leading by 10 at halftime, the Bucks rallied, and Brooklyn trailed by three with seconds left. So Joe Johnson was like, "Yo."

Nothing like having to hit a three-pointer falling backwards, with Luc Mbah a Moute hurtling at you.

Johnson was pleased.

Overtime turned out to be a hard-fought, low-scoring affair — 12 points total in five minutes — and Johnson had the ball with seconds left again. He capitalized.

NBA teams will often use their Twitter accounts or PR Twitter accounts to post stats about games.

It's a common thing.

So common in fact that they often will fly through your Twitter feed without you even really taking in the stat. So many stats. So many of them mean so little.

Shocking witness reports, “herbal remedies,” and empty bladders. Dispatches from Pistorius' bail hearing.

At Oscar Pistorius' bail hearing Wednesday, investigating officer Hilton Botha testified with witness reports from the night of Reeva Steenkamp's death.

Witnesses apparently heard two to three shots and saw the lights in Pistorius' window come on. They heard a woman scream, then heard two to three more shots fired 17 minutes later. According to prosecutors, these witnesses also heard "non-stop shouting."

[source 1, 2]

The defense countered that the bedroom is "pitch dark" when the curtains and blinds are closed. The witness also didn't say whether she heard the voices of Pistorius or Steenkamp specifically.

There was also a dispute about how far away the witness lived — 300 meters or 600 meters.

While running back on defense, Gay responded to something Wale had said earlier in the night.

James Harden: excellent basketball player, terrible song singer.

To truly be an NBA All-Star, one has to give of oneself fully — you can't just show up and play ball, so to speak. You have to ENTERTAIN. Because, like, you're not going to actually try when you're on the basketball court; this game doesn't matter. The NBA knows this, so they make the players do goofy-as-hell things. For example: prerecording love songs to show on the Jumbotron. (All-Star Weekend does just follow Valentine's Day! It's timely!)

James Harden went first, taking on Rihanna's part from Drake's "Take Care" and sounding like a cat that inhaled helium before being dragged through a car wash.

Carmelo Anthony went next, and he wasn't much better on Adele's "Someone Like You." In fact, the word "better" should have a restraining order against Carmelo Anthony's singing voice.

Dwyane Wade MESSES UP THE WORDS TO "CALL ME MAYBE." At this point, more Americans know the words to "Call Me Maybe" than the Pledge of Allegiance.

Why is Steve so happy and Mike so steamed? On the last lap of their race at Daytona, Park wrecked Stefanik in order to win the race.

Stefanik then delivered one of the best post-game interviews ever, sitting on the back of a white pickup truck.

Maybe find another hobby, Redskins fans.

The following is a story [probably] based on true events: A diehard Washington Redskins fan feels down on his luck until, miraculously, a rookie quarterback named Robert Griffin III leads the 'Skins to the playoffs. "How splendid!" the fan exclaims. He sits on his recliner and thinks about how to properly express his dedication to this newfound footballing hero? "Aha! I'll buy a vanity license plate."

The next day, that fan arrives at the local Virginia DMV. "RGIII Time, it should say!" The clerk punches letters into her computer and an error message pops up. The clerk explains to the fan that "RGIII Time" has already been taken. As has "RG3 Time," "RGIIItme," "RG3thyme," and several other combinations. "How about 'RG3TYM'?" The clerk punches in the letters again and, huzzah, "RG3TYM" is open for the taking.

3 months later, "RG3TYM" goes to the supermarket.

This is awesome.

Canada's Brandon University has a promotion where a student can take a half-court shot at Friday home games to win free tuition for the semester. But this season, no one was able to win it, so for the final home game of the season last Friday, a student could choose anyone in the building to shoot for him. Mason Kaluzniak chose BU's basketball coach Gil Cheung.

Cheung took the charge seriously and made sure to thoroughly prepare.

The different flavors of good, bad, and ugly that NBA trades come in.

The "State Of The NBA" Trade: Juwan Howard For Christian Laettner (Also Known As: The Trade For The Sake Of Trading)

Image by Doug Pensinger / Getty Images

Sometimes, a trade represents more than just basketball things — exchanging one player for another, or four players for another four players, or one player for a booster pack of Pokemon cards. Sometimes, a trade represents THE ZEITGEIST, i.e. basketball as a philosophical enterprise, i.e. the Spirit Of The League. For example, exchanging Juwan Howard and a bunch of dudes for Christian Laettner and a bunch of dudes is like the American Graffiti of the early-2000s NBA: a bunch of steroidal contracts and supplemental players being treated like leading men. It's glorious stuff.

The "I'm An Idiot" Trade: The Celtics Reacquire Antoine Walker

Image by Elsa / Getty Images

Oh, Danny Ainge. First, you trade Antoine Walker, the cornerstone of your team and primary reprobate, to the Mavericks nine days before the start of the 2003 season. Then you get him back at the 2005 trade deadline. (You will once again trade him away in 2006, but let's not get hung up on that.) Not only was this trade a weird mea culpa toward the bonkers Walker, but it also saw the Hawks — the second team Walker played with since being traded by Ainge originally — just being like, OK, this isn't going to work, we'll take that first-round draft pick. Antoine Walker is a Greek tragedy.
