…are they keeping all sharp objects away from him for a while?
…what did the coach say in the huddle beforehand?

Yeah. This is still my favorite buzzer-beater.

The game was tied at 7 all,
When Franklin found he had the ball.
He made a connection
In the other direction
And the crowd started shoutin’ out Interjections!

Aw! You threw it the wrong way!
Darn! You just lost the game!
Hooray, I’m for the other team!

Basketball hasn’t been the same since they relaxed “Travelling” and “Palming” rules to allow players a couple of steps to build up momentum for high-flying aerial dunks. Thank you Dr. J.

There are a few NBA teams that still play good basketball. San Antonio is one. The college game is affected by the players leaving early for $$$$$. Granted there are a few teams that play decent basketball, but you’ll find them in the smaller schools because the players stay all 4 years. The women’s college game is a joke because of the disparity and they let the wo/man Brittany Griner play. Yeah, it’s disheartening for basketball fans. I only watch certain teams (Duke & the ACC) and games with certain teams. The coach makes a difference too. Compare a John Calipari or Roy Williams to a Brad Stevens or Shaka Smart. Makes all the difference in who they recruit and how they play the game.

Yet another example why baseball is vastly superior to basketball.

Was his name Chris Christie? (I keed… sort of, I doubt CC could have gotten to the basket that quickly.)

I can’t watch it. That poor kid is going to have a knot in his stomach for years.

Kinda like going to Obama’s bipartisan propaganda dinner date while the One’s lies were actually being exposed by the MSM, the Democrats were divided over drones, and a Republican colleague was exploiting both with a real filibuster.

Gigantic mental mistakes do happen with time running down even in the biggest games, as Fred Brown or Chris Webber could tell you.

Roy Riegels & Jim Marshall.

Don’t feel too bad, kid. You’re in good company.
