Humans have been putting spherical objects in hoops for centuries, but until the invention of the dunk, the fast break, and face dribbling, it wasn't an activity worth watching. See if "basketball" lives up to the hype with today's Groupon: for $15, you get a baseline ticket, T-shirt, and autograph voucher for the Tulsa Shock game against the San Antonio Silver Stars (a $31 value). The WNBA over-the-border showdown will take place at 7:00 p.m. on Friday, July 30.

Led by legendary coach and all-purpose gentleman Nolan Richardson, the Tulsa Shock boast a roster of athletic ladies who are well versed at their chosen sport. Shock games are played in the BOK Center, and with a seat located on the baseline, you'll be able to enjoy duty-free viewing of behind-the-back shooting, alley-oop dribbling, and through-the-torso high-fives. Watch thrilling on-court action such as the scoreboard-drenching moves of Scholanda Robinson and the newly acquired speed of former Olympic sprinter Marion Jones while cheering alongside friends, family, or the flock of mischievous magpies that hovers constantly, interminably at your side.

Satisfy team pride with a Tulsa Shock T-shirt to wear or use to wipe a sweaty brow after extensive cheer-offs. For the ultimate fan experience, you'll also receive an autograph voucher to redeem your favorite swisher's signature all over the voucher, T-shirt, or Devo laserdisc of your choice.
