GIF of the Week: Tony Allen to Tony Allen

An under appreciated effort by Tony Allen as a rookie during his first visit to Denver. It is not unforeseeable that Ricky Davis put him up to this.

GIF of the Week: Lloyd Daniels

There have been plenty of odd interviews throughout the history of the league, none better than Hedo's legendary "Ball" interview during his less than memorable stint in Toronto.

However, back in 1998, another Raptor, Lloyd Daniels, said everything that needed to be said before he even opened his mouth. Observe Lloyd loosening up as Rob Sinclair kicks off the interview. Thank you Rob for remaining professional throughout.

Lloyd played 6 games for the Raptors.

GIF of the Week: Headshot

The Rifleman was a fiesty character who is best remembered for a memorable Costacos Brothers poster and leading the Minnesota Timberwolves in victory dances.

During his prime in Indiana, he got into a bit of slanging match with Baseline Leaner royalty Mark Price that escalated from a war of words into a more physical exchange. If anyone has got the complete footage please contact us and the authorities.

So, without further delay, GIF of the Week is Chuck "kicking" Pricey in the face while he is trying to take a mid-game nap.

GIF of the Week: Jerry Stackhouse

The Double Poster is a rare sight.

Isaiah Rider did it.

Keon Clark did it.

And our man Jerry Stackhouse (in his rookie year) had a huge one over Bimbo Coles and Keith Askins.

We thank Jerry for retweeting GIF of the Week.

GIF of the Week: Everyone ran out of the gym

We think this is Keeyon Dooling losing his mind following a Vince Carter windmill in transition.

The irony is not lost on us.

GIF of the Week: Allen Iverson on Eddie Jones

Taken from the Mitch Richmond game for PC, this is a rookie Allen Iverson throwing down a windmill on premier wing defender Eddie Jones. Because this never happened in real life, all we're asking is that you appreciate the primitive beauty of mid '90s DOS graphics.

A young AI would also feature with our man Jerry Stackhat in NBA Hangtime, the greatest game ever released for any platform.

GIF of the Week: Happy Birthday Joe Dumars

Joe Dumars dunking was a rare sight, particularly at the age of 67. The Junkyard Dog is going berserk.

Shawn Bradley still hasn't moved.

GIF of the Week: Magic Johnson floors Cameraman

He had it coming.

GIF of the Week: Steve Smith '94

May 2 will forever be remembered as the day Damian Lillard coldly Brandon Roy'd the Rockets in Game 6 of 2014 NBA Playoffs, sending the Blazers to the second round in the first time since forever.

His post shot celebration was quintessential Lillard, which brings us to our subject for GIF of the Week.

Twenty years ago, the Miami Heat celebrated their first ever home Playoff victory. Our man Steve Smith, who lead the Heat with 25 points, demonstrated how best to celebrate a significant moment in franchise history:

Somebody, somewhere, still has that ball.
