Jan 4, 2012 - In the 2011th Year of our Lord, we proudly recognize
CHRIS BOSH, MIAMI HEAT
as a member of the inaugural class of the SPORTS ANIMATED GIF HALL OF FAME.
Mr. Bosh is being recognized on account of:
his profound hit-in-the-face-ability,
his weirdo grossness,
his propensity to start driving to the net and then just curl up into the fetal position like a big ol' dummy,
and his general goofy-ass way about himself.
We hereby celebrate and honor your contributions to the animated GIF industry, Mr. Bosh.

I'd like the committee
to recognize the contributions of one Mr. Dwight Howard, for his steadfast dedication to playing defense after seeing someone get hit directly in the face with a basketball not 15 feet from him.
Also, it looks like he’s dancing. So rhythmic. So hypnotizing.
