          Basketball is just around the corner, and fans hungry for news enjoyed Monday's coordinated media days, hosted by the majority of the league's teams across the country.

          Here were some highlights.

          1. Classic Pop

          Gregg Popovich clowned an NBA TV reporter who thought maybe he could ease the Spurs head coach into an interview with a softball question. Awkwardness ensued:

          2. Steven Adams' wild look

          The Thunder big man has put his clean-shaven look in the past.

          3. Other new 'dos throughout the league.

          Whose look do you prefer: Kevin Love or George Hill?

          4. The Warriors bust out the emojis

          5. The Suns go full Jedi

          Promoting the team's Star Wars night later on this season, head coach Jeff Hornacek channeled his inner Jedi.

          6. Lakers fans, he's back

          Metta World Peace's return to Los Angeles was one of the day's most fun side plots.

          7. Ribbing Rondo

          NBA impersonator Brandon Armstrong went undercover at the Kings' media day and got a chance to show off his Rajon Rondo impression to the man himself.

          8. Because, why not?

          9. Just Timmy

          10. We leave you with Dwyane

          For a promo for the Miami Heat's '90s night, Dwyane Wade did some A+ lipsync work to Montell Jordan.
