I've suggested on podcasts that the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame should construct a wing devoted to NBA absurdities. The NBA is the most absurd major U.S. sports league, churning out a never-ending stream of on-court bloopers, social media gaffes and melodrama. The day-to-day silliness deserves its place in Springfield, Massachusetts.

That will never happen, so we're going to start building our imaginary Absurdity Wing here.

The Hawks entries:

Faux-iconic jerseys and other ignoble NBA art

This is where we hang the Rasheed Wallace and Carmelo Anthony Hawks jerseys

Remember when Mike Woodson suddenly had no eyebrows?

(There turned out to be a perfectly mundane explanation. It's still funny.)

 Zaza Pachulia screaming, "Nothing easy!"

I'd visit that Wing.

I'd add the video clip of a Josh Smith half court pass that hits the backboard, twice....in the same game. Smh.

You also have the Mike Woodson technical for being on the receiving end of a Jason Kidd running elbow.

No Tree Rollins, Rider, Danny Ferry, or Owner on Owner legal drama?  We could have our own hall.

Willis missed the entire 1988-89 season with a broken bone in his right foot. He began to clamor for a renegotiation of his contract with the Hawks and faced discord with management. Willis refused to go to rehabilitation for his injury and also did not show up for home games while he was injured. This led to the Hawks suspending him indefinitely while he was still injured.

The many clock issues at Philips.

Having to replay the end of a game because Shaq didn't actually foul out.

I don’t know what scared Al more:  that bird or the ball coming off the rim.

As they should have.  Not that he wasn't in the wrong place but coaches do that all the time.  It was some BS.
