NBA schedule: Durant lifts Thunder over Lakers, Bulls top Nets

The Lakers, without their four best scorers, are surprisingly beating the Thunder right now.

However, what's not surprising is the end result of Chris Kaman's brave (or maybe foolhardy?) James Worthy-esque attempt to drive to the hoop and dunk over block-specialist Serge Ibaka. The Lakers are nothing if not entertaining this season, for better or worse.

Plus, Chris Kaman trying to dunk is always an entertaining adventure. I hope someone someday makes a YouTube mix of all of Kaman’s dunk attempts. I’m willing to bet most of them end with him falling down.
