#5 - Andre Drummond attempting to play iso basketball

Andre Drummond has been a great defensive player with the ability to protect the rim and block shots. Offensively, though, his offensive repertoire is very limited, as Drummond is effective only above the rim.

Once, though, he attempted to play iso ball, but instead of scoring, he offered a hilarious moment.

The play happened in a Cleveland Cavaliers vs Memphis Grizzlies game a few years ago, with Drummond running the play. However, he couldn't find an open teammate to pass the ball and decided to go iso without even making a shot, though.

#4 - Taj Gibson trying to block a shot with his shoe

The funny moment took place in a Minnesota Timberwolves vs Sacramento Kings game, when Taj Gibson's shoe went off while attempting to score. The game didn't stop and Gibson had to play defense with just one shoe on.

So, he was holding the other shoe in his hand and tried to stop a Nemanja Bjelica drive and block his shot with his shoe.

But, the shot went off, with his teammates fighting for the offensive rebound. When the former All-Star found out that he missed the shot, he started laughing.
