In a Nutshell

High-flying NBA D-League squad crashes boards at Wells Fargo Arena for Social Media Night match against rival Reno Bighorns

The Fine Print

In 1891, James Naismith mounted two peach baskets on opposite walls of a gym, inventing the rudimentary version of what we know today as “shelving.” Take your basketball off this grand innovation with today’s Groupon to an Iowa Energy home basketball game at Wells Fargo Arena on Saturday, December 17, at 7 p.m. Choose between the following options:

  • For $14, you get a sideline ticket package for one (a $26 total value).
  • For $26, you get a sideline ticket package for two (a $53 total value).

The package includes the following for each person:

  • One sideline ticket (a $20 value)
  • One soda (a $3 value)
  • One popcorn (a $3 value)

The Iowa Energy's roster of high-flying net seekers looks to whittle down NBA Development League rivals the Reno Bighorns during a board-rattling matchup at the Wells Fargo Arena. With more than 20 points per game, star forward Moses Ehambe routinely electrifies the crowd with a flurry of long-range field goals and no-look passes to players disguised as backboards. The Bighorns’ usual tactics of charging the paint will prove all for naught as 6’11” center Jarrid Famous holds his arms up like two lightning rods to swat away layups.

Fans spill sodas and popcorn as they leap from their seats to cheer on the Energy and its foot-flinging counterparts, the High Voltage dancers. During breaks and halftime, the dancers trade cheerleading duties with charged-up mascot Surge, who texts play-call suggestions to referees in celebration of Social Media Night.

Iowa Energy

The 2010–11 season was a milestone for the Iowa Energy. Just their fourth season as part of the Developmental League—which has helped produce nearly one-third of the NBA's players as of the 2011–12 season—the team claimed its first league championship, defeating the Rio Grande Valley Vipers. Prior to their title run, the Energy had made back-to-back playoff appearances fueled by first-place finishes in the league's Central Division. The Energy plays all of its home games at Wells Fargo Arena, where future basketball stars of the Chicago Bulls, New Orleans Hornets, Denver Nuggets, and Washington Wizards learn the basics of the NBA game and how to do veteran players' laundry.

The Groupon Guide to: Cute vs. Creepy

Cute and creepy are two sides of the same coin, both exploiting vulnerability or out-of-the-norm behavior in order to elicit an instinctive response. In our stimulus-overload world, it can be difficult at times to tell the two apart—at least, without consulting this foolproof guide:

• Blind date bringing you a brightly colored wildflower: cute
• Blind date bringing you a brightly colored wild cockatiel: creepy

• Father saying goodbye to his daughter after dropping her off at school: cute
• Father saying goodbye to his daughter after serving her scrambled eggs: creepy

• Animal with eyes exactly the size of a quarter: cute
• Animal with eyes slightly larger than a quarter: creepy

• Six-year-old niece taking your picture: cute
• Six-year-old niece scratching your eyes out of the picture: super cute

Why do so many children scratch the eyes out of family photographs?
