Another batch of cool GIFs and videos from the past seven days — which include an important anniversary, a streaking TV personality and a Pop wannabee — are all below for your viewing pleasure.
Here are the best sports highlights and Gifs of the week:
D-Rose Injured Again
We begin this week’s review on a somber note. Former league MVP Derrick Rose has gone down with yet another knee injury that will again require surgery.
On the bright side (yes, there is one, Bulls fans, put the sharp objects away), it’s not his previously injured left knee that he hurt. And unlike the ACL he tore, this time he only tore a meniscus.
But still, what a blow. We wish a speedy recovery for D-Rose.
We Will Never Forget
On November 22, America celebrated the anniversary of one of the most shocking, unprecedented events of its history. It was one of those “Where were you when?” moments that will live on in the nation’s collective memory forever.
No, we’re not talking about the JFK assassination. We’re talking, of course, about the one and only: Butt Fumble.
And to commemorate the occasion, Mark Sanchez decided to… get cornrows?

OKC’s Streak (Half-Court) Shooters
There must be something in the water in Oklahoma City. Not one, but two Thunder fans (on back-to-back nights, no less) made a half-court shot to win $20,000 each. Featured above is the second fan, Brad Brucker, making his shot. Even Jay-Z gave his daps.
This makes five winners in 2013, and the current streak stands at two. How long can this last?
Weather Girl Goes Streaking
Speaking of streaks…
The French had themselves a great week last week. Their football team overturned a 2-0 deficit to defeat Ukraine 3-0 to advance to the 2014 World Cup, which meant that model/weather presenter Doria Tillier needed to pay up on her promise to report the news naked if France won, which she did… sort of.

Rick Carlisle’s Pop Impersonation
It’s already a worn out joke that Rick Carlisle is a dead ringer for Jim Carrey. But who knew the Dallas Mavs coach had the comedic acting chops of his famous doppelganger?
Here’s Rick (or Jim. Who knows?) doing his best Gregg Popovich impression in one of his sideline interviews.
NBA Champion. Funny dude. Jim Carrey-esque looks. Some guys have just have it all.
Air Bennett
Unfortunately, Anthony Bennett is not one of those dudes. The No. 1 overall pick is having a disastrous rookie campaign, which just keeps getting worse. He’s already shown that he can’t score from up close. And apparently, can’t he stroke it from deep either.
The King, For The Win
But chin up, Anthony. Even the best player in the world can flub a layup once in a while. Here’s LeBron James doing just that against the Magic.
But does he go home and cry about it? Nope. He just hits the game-winning shot. Like a Bosh.
Tune back next week for another edition of the Sports Gif Roundup!
