For reasons unknown, a sport where a bunch of dudes or gals run around and dunk an orange ball into a raised hula-hoop became a global phenomenon. A sport where tickling someone is a legit reason for a fault. A game that made countries into win-or-die rivalries. A sport that’s incredibly exciting to watch for the very same unknown reasons. Yup, we are talking about basketball, and basketball jokes are a tool that expresses our thoughts on it the best. So, strap on your shoelaces, and let’s run to the court of jokes about basketball together.
Unlike any other sports jokes, these definitely emphasize the importance of the aforementioned ball and its position in the court (not like a law court, though). One might even think that this oversized orange is the most important part of the game! Wait, you say it is? Okay, we’ll trust you, then. These funny basketball jokes also talk about the rivalry created by two (usually) equally good teams finding themselves in an arena and trying to sort out who is, in fact, better than the rest. Well, there’s no denying that even if you don’t know the rules, this frenzy is quite exciting to watch! Of course, there are plenty of other things these silly jokes try to encompass, but we’d rather not discuss them all and leave some things for you to discover on your own.
So, our picks of the best basketball jokes are just a bit further down. Once you get to them, give the best jokes about sports your vote so they’ll find their way to the top of this list. Lastly, be sure to share these hilarious jokes with your friends who share the same passion for this intricate and exciting game!
