During the dog and pony show that is NBA Media Day, players are often asked to improvise tricks while the media grabs stock footage to be used in the upcoming season.

Improvising, however, can sometimes go wrong - especially since players are asked to paint on a smile while making moves in the harsh spotlight.

Toronto Raptors center Jonas Valanciunas is a perfect case in point. Never confused for being an elegant player, the clumsy 7-footer tried to put on some basic dribbling moves, and unfortunately, he produced nothing but a few wandering dribbles.
