Recently the suits at Fox decided to give MadTV the axe and as a fan of the comedic arts, I feel kinda bummed.  This show wasn’t afraid to cross the line and nobody and nothing was off topic for 14 seasons. The best thing about this show is that they had lots of love for basketball and regularly had basketball related skits that were hilarious.  

So to say good bye, I give you the Top 5 funniest MadTV basketball related skits.

Shaq Pass It On
Shaq shouldn’t make movies, or albums but the Diesel knows sketch comedy.
Best Line or Moment: “Some of the guys are getting together later tonight, to read Last of the Mohican’s…pass it on”

 

Magic Johnson Teaching School Kids
TNT limits Magic Johnson on air, like the Orlando Magic limits J.J. Reddicks on the court. Here’s why.
Best Line or Moment: “Reading is truly funky-mental” 

 

 

Shaq and the Super Lakers
The impression of Shaq that Aries Spears does in the beginning, is absolutely hilarious and the smile at the end sends it over the edge. Add Chris Rock and the new meaning of he word “autograph” and we have a sure fired list maker.  
Best Line or Momment: “Move along ho, the Super Lakers don’t hang out with no skanks”

 

 

The Tale Of Yao Ming
The shortest member of the cast Bobby Lee playing the tallest player in the NBA is genius!
Best Line or Momment: Any “Urghhh” line!

 

 

Kobe Consensual
R.Kelly meets Kobe Bryant makes classic!
Best Line or Moment: Ronald McDonald ripping a cheque away from Kobe Bryant makes me laugh every time!
