As SportsGrid’s Video Assignment Editor, CJ Fogler’s main job is to grab potentially viral video moments as they happen. But he also takes a lot of screengrabs (and produces a number of animated GIFs) that don’t always make the site. Every Friday, we’re going to share a few of them with you.

This week, the NBA provided most of our fodder. For more GIFS and screengrabs, be sure to follow him on Twitter.

SWEET LORD THIS WOMAN HAS A BASKETBALL FOR A HEAD.

LEBRON JAMES, LITTLE RASCAL. Did the King break the lamp, even though he was told specifically not to dribble his basketball indoors? From Lisa Salters’ interview after the Heat’s win at home against the Chicago Bulls, in which ‘Bron made waves by vaulting over John Lucas III in the week’s second best dunk. The best, of course, was this little ditty I’m sure you haven’t heard about yet.

IN-GAME GRAPHIC DECAPITATES HOCKEY-PLAYING MAN. Fox Sports North had a little trouble with a graphic ad that should’ve been superimposed on the glass behind the net. This wasn’t the most bizarre occurrence of this game, though: Dany Heatley knocked a puck out of midair. For those interested: the Wild would blow a 4-1 lead, and lose 5-4 to the Predators.

THE PASSION OF THE MAMBA: Brian Scalabrine snarls during a game against the Knicks. He was probably getting ready to make his presence known.

MUSTACHE RIDE. Wolves’ Mascot Crunch goes back in time for an ABA anniversary game against the Indiana Pacers.

YOINK. LeBron gets stripped, then reminds everyone else on the planet that he’s more athletic than them.

DUDE LET’S BUILD A FORT IN YOUR GOAL. JS Giguere robs Cal Clutterbuck with his glove after Kyle Brodziak drove himself and Giguere into the net. Giguere only gave up one goal, but Niklas Backstrom blanked the Avalanche to give the Wild their 3rd win in 4 games.
