Glen Robinson had some fun on a Phunkeeduck. (USATSI)

The "Phunkeeduck," for those who don't know, is a remote scooter that became popular when J.R. Smith showed up for a Finals game on one. He later departed in a sad manner, as that scooter ride was basically the peak of his Finals experience.  

The device is gaining popularity with NBA players though, as other guys have been seen playing with them this summer. The latest is incoming Pacers forward Glen Robinson III, who actually dunked off of one. OK, it was on a lowered rim, but sure. 

What? Stop looking at us like that. It's August, OK?

It's sad that my first thought was that Robinson better be careful, lest he wind up like Monta Ellis, who was suspended 30 games without pay for suffering an ankle injury in a moped accident after signing a new $66 million contract with Golden State. This actually happened. 

Imagine if you injured yourself and lost a contract or were suspended, and then people asked you about it and you had to say "I got hurt on a Phunkeeduck." There's embarrassing, there's mortifying humiliation and then there's that. 

Of course, Robinson's not the first player to pull off a basketball trick on a Phunkeeduck. Steph Curry landed from deep on one.
