Denver Nuggets’ Bones Hyland Goes Up For Big Dunk, Ends Up Pulling A ‘Jim’ From ‘The Office’

Bones Hyland totally pulled a Jim Halpert.

The Denver Nuggets squared off against the Los Angeles Clippers Jan. 5, with the Nuggets getting a blowout win, 122-91, but Nuggets guard Bones Hyland stole the headlines.

Hyland went up for a dunk at one point in the game, and you could tell he was trying to pull a massive one. But Clippers guard Amir Coffey blocked him on a defensive play, which forced Hyland to put the ball up and hit an outrageous layup.

But the real glory is in his reaction to the shot:

This has to be the NBA meme of the season, right?

I mean, come on, he totally pulled a Jim:

Also, how cool is the name Bones Hyland?

The only way it would be cooler is if it was “Bones Skyland” … Imagine a name like that in the league. Bones Hyland is already cool as it is — Bones (who wouldn’t want an NBA first name like that?). But “Bones Skyland” would be an incredibly marketable name. Maybe Bones should consider changing it to Skyland. I like that name. (RELATED: Here’s Who’s Leading NBA All Star Voting.

Bones Skyland — I can’t say it enough.
