Yesterday we extolled the virtues of the ass-pass—when Phoenix Suns' Eric Bledsoe used his opponent's butt for an inbounds pass and easy layup. Today, Oklahoma City Thunder's Victor Oladipo brings buttsketball right back into the fold, as he pulled some high art ass gymnastics after nailing a jumper.It's hard to pin this one down as a celebration—it's not quite the Happy Gilmore bulldance-feeling-the-flow ass slap. It is a kind of kid-had-too-much-sugar, jumpy-guy kind of situation that transitions into a bending over that needed cantilevering with an ass slap. (Everyone knows that you can only balance yourself when bending over with an ass slap.)Anyway, if you were to guess that Oladipo was the only person to release the keister in the past week and change, you'd be wrong, as Warriors big man Zaza Pachulia was literally feeling himself after a jumper of his own November 18 against the Celtics:
Who knows why this is a trend—just please, give us more of that sweet, sweet buttsketball.[h/t FTW for the second clip]Zaza Pachulia smackin' it pic.twitter.com/Dw10d8kBce
