Never has this GIF been more relevantly placed.

It's moments like this when I can look past the repost complaining and posts about finals and remember why I love, and and am fully addicted to, reddit.

As soon as read your comment I had the same feeling and was about to post something close to that. Thank you Internet. Haha. Ah good times.

Anybody get the Space Jam vibe from this?

[–]HarlonSinvy 2 points3 points ago

Am I the only one who read this as ba-scat-ball instead of bas-cat-ball? I must say though I do enjoy the lack of fecal matter.

[–]timdorr 2 points3 points ago

I saw "scat" in the title and figured I wouldn't click on it, but then I saw it wasn't in /r/gore and didn't have to worry.

[–]Calvinb27 2 points3 points ago

I wanna see one where the hoop is made of fish.

...basscatball

[–]Tmps3 5 points6 points ago

now i really really REALLY wanna watch space jam

[–]adamtattoo 3 points4 points ago

was little afraid to click this at first. I read it with emphasis on "scat". The internet has ruined me.

[–]mvs027 3 points4 points ago

Bascatball is my favorite sport, I like the way they dribble up and down the court

[–]Soulfly37 12 points13 points ago

[–]thestergin 1 point2 points ago

Every time the cat dunks it all I can hear is

BOOMSHAKALAKA!

[–]keiffer213 1 point2 points ago

This gif is just more amazing than the original

[–]JRDubstepcom 1 point2 points ago

Ah good ole Internet, always making my day

[–]zoycobot 2 points3 points ago

Interesting opticat illusion time: because the ball in the gif doesn't change size even though it is farther away at the beginning of the gif and thus should appear smaller, the ball appears to shrink as the cat jumps up with it. This is due to a monocular depth cue (specifically depth from motion).

[–]Schwachsinn 1 point2 points ago

This genuinely was the first thing i thought of when i saw the original gif

[–]Oatybar 1 point2 points ago

My nitpicking nature is bugged by the fact that the basketball doesn't get bigger as it gets closer. Yet...thumbsup.gif

Of course. I should have clarified. The 2012 NCAA Men's Basketball National Champions Kentucky Wildcats.

I'd say he is in the top five of all time feline basketball players. In no particular order, the rest are: Liono, Heathcliff, Sylvester, and Puss in Boots. Honorable mention to Garfield, but he never had that killer instinct.
