VIDEO: Celtics With Double Alley-Oop Combo Vs. Bulls

If you are watching sports today you probably know that this has not been the most exciting day ever to watch sports. Outside of waiting for Phil Mickelson to not lose a golf tournament, there hasn't been much in the way of captivating television to hold our rapidly deteriorating attention spans. Thankfully, Bulls-Celtics has come through with a couple moments of real excitement. First, Joakim Noah gave us an overly-choreographed finga gunz performance, and now this: Back-to-back Celtics alley oops off of back-to-back Bulls turnovers.

Check out the sequence after the jump:

ANIMATED: Joakim Noah's Gun Dance Is The Best

Joakim Noah is just a goofy dude, so you'd expect his celebrations would be awkward. And, of course, they are. He turned a regular finga gunz celebration into a three-act play on Sunday as the Bulls took on the Celtics, and it was quite amazing.

Watch as Noah unleashes shots from his finger pistols, then holsters his "guns," all while yelling "BANG."

What Do Jeremy Lin And Allen Iverson Have In Common?

Allen Iverson and Jeremy Lin are essentially polar opposites when it comes to their reputations away from the basketball court, but the two guards do have a couple things in common.

Not only did they both score over 100 points in their first four NBA starts, but, according to various reports, the fan favorites were apparently been targeted by the Los Angeles Lakers in recent months.

Yes, both Linsanity and the Answer nearly donned a Lakers jersey before a couple of random incidents interrupted the possibility of the two talkin' about practice with Kobe Bryant and friends.

The Latest In Linsanity: Spike Lee Thanks Mark Jackson For Jeremy Lin

The Golden State Warriors are catching a lot of grief right now over the fact that they released Jeremy Lin on the first day of training camp this season. As you may have heard, Lin is now tearing the NBA up for the New York Knicks.

Uber-Knicks fan Spike Lee had some fun with that on Saturday, texting Golden State coach Mark Jackson "thanks."

Jeremy Lin Vs. Ricky Rubio: The NBA's Puppy Bowl

Unbearable cuteness. A chorus of AWWWWWWs. Smiles on even the most hardened faces. Terrible, terribly punnery.

It sounds like The Puppy Bowl, Super Bowl Sunday's most adorable tradition. (Seriously, though, the puns are just awful.) But this weekend, all those eye-batting attributes apply to Saturday night's battle between America's sweetheart point guards: Ricky Rubio and Jeremy Lin.

How Could You Not Have Taken DeSagana Diop No. 1?

Two or three years from now you'll look back and think: How could [Michael] Jordan have not taken DeSagana Diop No. 1? Diop is the one athletic freak in this draft. Diop is the only man alive age 18 or above with the potential to be better than Shaquille O'Neal.

PHOTO: Jeremy Lin Fever Has Hit Its High Point

That's it. It's all downhill from here. When a Knicks fan modifies his Carmelo Anthony jersey to be a Jeremy Lin jersey, we've hit the high point of the fever. And it's only been four games, basically.

Sweet use of masking tape there, sir.
