There are few things in this world I love more than a good mascot fail. You get top points if that fail is performed by Clutch the bear, the infamous bear mascot of the Huston Rockets, who's the best. 

This one's pretty good, too, though. During the Phoenix Suns-Washington Wizards game last night, a guy in a gorilla suit did a little slip and slide onto the court for some reason. Check it out:

That gorilla is none other than the Phoenix Suns mascot, The Suns Gorilla. Now, why this happened is as big of a mystery as why the Phoenix Suns mascot is a gorilla. But one thing is for sure, the Suns don't seem to find this all that surprising because no one seems to give a shit. 

Everyone seems to like it. And why shouldn't they? Mascots are the best. 

@outsidethenba @RandBall Can they make a 30 for 30 on this clip overnight?

@outsidethenba pretty sure the Gorilla is just reenacting the defense in this game or lack there of.

@outsidethenba Would read an oral history of the Suns gorilla diving onto the court

No one ever said that coaching a rag-tag team of misfit youngsters isn't easy. Ask anyone from the Bad News Bears to the Mighty Ducks. 

Sometimes you gotta step in and make sure they play right. So that's exactly what this coach did, stopping his own player from making the biggest mistake of their young lives. 

And because this is so good, enjoy it in gif form.

It pays to be tall in basketball, but it also isn't so bad being a short, little guy either.

To paraphrase Obama, when they go high, we go low. 

Check out what Delaware 87ers Nate Robinson pulled off, sneaking between Edy Tavares legs when the 87ers took on the Canton Raptors. 

Yahoo says: "Diminutive guard Nate Robinson spent parts of 11 NBA seasons defying expectations of the size and skillset required to play in the best basketball league in the world. Now in the midst of a comeback with the Delaware 87ers in the D-League, Robinson is proving he still has plenty of tricks to offer at 32 years old." 

So cool.
