Screw the puppy bowl, why hasn't otter-ball become a thing?
Meet Eddie the otter, an all-star player cloned from the DNA of Michael Jordan. When staff at the Oregon Zoo discovered that the 16-year-old ball of water-soaked-adorableness had arthritis in his elbows, they started shooting hoops with him.
Zoo keepers found that Eddie is one heck of a sports perfectionist; he works on his slam dunks until he can land the shot.
Stay tuned for next week's episode where Eddie plays one-on-one against Kobe. Start placing your bets now.
