FEB 22  THE BEST NBA HALFTIME PERFORMERS

Shakira and J-Lo's spectacular halftime performance wowed the world at the Super Bowl earlier this month. Just how good was it? The two sultry singers were watched by more people than the actual game itself! Which got the DUNER BLOG staff wondering and researching. It turns out the NBA has the best halftime performers. Here's our favorites:

RED PANDA (Krystal Liu). If you've been fortunate enough to see this acrobat perform, you know how unforgettable she is. First, she climbs atop a five-foot high unicycle. Steadily keeping her balance by rocking back-and-forth with the pedals, she places a large ceramic bowl on top of her head. Next, she catches more bowls and then tosses them into the one already on her head! Krystal does so in a delightful dress, high heels on her feet and a charming smile on her face. In all the polls and surveys we found on this subject, Ped Panda was always the top choice.

THE GREAT BALANCER (Kevin Shiflett). As a kid, Kevin was obsessed with balancing things on his chin. He started with small stuff like a broom or his grandpa's cane. He began to perform in church and school

events, but like any other great athlete, he kept pushing boundaries, moving up to chairs, bikes and even a wheelbarrow. As the objects got bigger, so did the gigs. In fact, Kevin has made a career of his odd talent. And to think: His dad probably thought it was a waste of time!

QUICK CHANGE (Doug & Dania Mass). Originally from the Moscow Circus, Dania honed the art of instant costume change. Dating back to Vaudeville, it involves wearing different outfits underneath each other. Sewn in a way that allows for instant disrobing, it is eye-candy for the audience. When Dana met Doug, an American who also performs the act, magic happened. They added some ballroom dancing and have performed not just at NBA games, but also on Oprah, AGT and GMA.

ALL AMERICAN FRISBEE DOGS (John Casey). Nothing gets an audience in a frenzy like a doggie chasing down a frisbee. It always seems like there is NO CHANCE the pooch can catch up with the flying disc. Then...at the last second...Fido sprints! Next, he jumps amazingly high and snatches the frisbee in his mouth. The crowd goes wild! Trainer John Casey knows this and has taken his dogs to the next level. What makes this group stand out amongst the others is the fact that John only uses rescue dogs in his act.
