That clip of Justin Love playing in Odessa a couple of years ago is one of my all-time favorites.

+1. Complete insanity. Should have gone viral, or at least made Deadspin. The shirtless Odessa fan is forever imprinted in my brain.

The shirtless guy was outstanding, but the best part was the shark mascot being removed from under the basket by the refs.

I also noticed at that point that a cheerleader looked to be yelling at someone - maybe an opposing player or the ref. I also enjoyed that moment in this classic video.

torch -- Thanks for the updates! Much appreciated.

That shark mascot interaction is almost as funny to me as the shirtless guy. Together it's 3 minutes of amazing viewing. Just made my Friday.

I agree. The expression on the shark's face just amplifies the hilarity.

I had forgotten about the shark. You're right, Box, his face is perfect. Or the cheerleader outfits that appear to have been left over from BASEketball.

Honestly, this makes me want to visit the Ukraine and take in some basketball games. It seems like fun on so many levels.
