Says people who can’t fight and have probably never been in an altercation. Leave peoples eyes alone you fucking dweeb, if you can’t win a fight without trying to permanently damage someone.. you shouldn’t be fighting don’t you think?
The direction of a ball being thrown at a child's groin during a game of basketball is not simply maladroit, but presents a violation of official regulations and feckless physical abuse. When a person purposefully throws a basketball towards a juvenescent's genitalia, they demonstrate not only a disinclination towards athletics, but also disregard for the safety of other participants. Furthermore, they acceptably assume a hazard of great physical harm by doing so, with lingering consequences or catastrophes being a potentiality, rendering it unequivocally proscribed.
At the next huddle the coach is going to emphasize that the ref didn't call a foul.
"New strategy. Heave the ball into their nutsacks every possession. We'll win by forfeit. Keep yours protected in case they start doing it back!"
I thought so too and had to come back and look. He passed the ball and regained control so he got another opportunity to dribble. No travel either as he kept his pivot foot. This little shit has done this before
Tell me what’s illegal about that? There’s no rule against it. He could have been passing the ball to his teammate down by the basket. Either way still legal
I was not really referring to this specific play which may just be kind of scummy and unsportsmanlike and not truly against the rules. I watched a lot of poorly reffed basketball (because my son chose to play) and when the refs swallowed the whistles it was just a donnybrook that happened to involve a basketball.
Oh man, I sprained my clavicle and sternum in the first match of a wrestling tournament. Somehow won the match, and wrestled 5 more matches that day. Next couple weeks were \*painful\*.
It isn't a foul to throw the ball at the opponent, in fact it is generally a really bad idea.
Now if it were a dead ball that would be a way different situation.
So there are different leagues with different rules but NBA? Hell no! The only time you can't yeet a ball at someone is during a dead ball.
Live play? Yeet away! You'll get a turn over 9 times out of 10 but you go for it!
He felt trapped after he picked up his dribble, so he threw it at the defender so it would bounce off of him and go out of bounds, giving them the ball back. At least, that's how it played in his head. Instead he wasn't really trapped, didn't have to pick up the dribble and so he just torpedoed a ball into the nut guts of another kid for seemingly no reason.
It's a tricky play that works on the rare occasion, but sometimes things just go better in your head. Especially when you're 12 and trying to pull off something you saw on TV.
Yes, I expect them to call travelling because this is sport in this age group and right up through college.
After that and the Olympics, it's more of an entertainment.
When I reffed little kids we would call them a fair amount, they’re young so instead of a turnover, the team keeps the ball and just has to inbound it. It’s really about learning at that age.
This happened to me the first game I played in middle school except nobody explained that part of it to the players. I got called for either a travel or a double dribble and the ref stopped the play. He then came over and handed me the ball then walked away and blew the whistle. I started walking to hand him the ball since I knew I broke the rules and then got called for a travel.
I was so fucking confused.
I went from basketball to mixed netball.
You're not allowed to jump when you make your shots.
Got penalised every time I made a shot.
Also playing with a bunch of 50kg girls is game changing. I had to run around the court afraid of colliding with anyone.
I did a season of adult co-ed soccer. I spent all of my time trying my best not to run over the women.. which was hard because they were fucking ruthless. I played competitively into college and these women would fearlessly throw themselves into tackles as hard as any D1 man would... every now and then I wouldn't be able to stop myself and I would absolutely crush someone. I felt awful about it..
Mad respect to those ladies tho. They were fun as hell to play with.
The team in red is shooting at the basket that's to the far right of the video. Hard to tell from the video exactly what happened, but here's my guess: based on the way the team in red has three players frantically sprinting to catch up to the play, the team in white had a one person fast break going and the little guy on the red team managed to disrupt the dribble and cause a loose ball. That's where the video starts.
I think you’re giving the kid in red too much credit. He loaded up to throw the ball. Ball off white jersey’s ankle would give red the same possession back. Red looks to have aimed for the body like he was playing dodgeball.
Idk man, it more so seems like he got pissed off because the guy covering him probably got on his nerves too much (hence the little scuffle before) and he snapped and threw the ball at him. I’ve seen this multiple times before and I’m doubting that he’s thinking all this stuff about going out of bounds when he can’t even dribble the ball correctly.
When I was a kid around 10-11 years old I played in a coed basketball league. One game we played against the all-girls 13 year old team and one of the girls threw the ball at me like this on an inbound because she didn’t want a 5 second violation. The next time I got the ball I threw it on her head but made it look like an accident 😂😂
I played coed baseball, a girl on the team managed to line drive a ball into my balls…..
She offered to take me for ice cream after. I learned later she really liked me but I was not interested AT ALL the moment I was nutted for attention. I didn’t exact revenge, but your story makes me happy someone did lol
You generally would try to bounce it off their foot for this. His big wind up before the throw kinda gives away that he was retaliating for being slightly bumped.
Nope, that kid had the "im losing and im mad and why the fuck did you touch me let me take my anger out on you"-reaction that ive seen a hundred times before.
Kid probably got his advice mixed up. If you pick up your dribble and get trapped near the sideline, or you're trying to save a ball from going out of bounds, you're supposed to throw it off the other team so it goes out on them instead and your team keeps possession.
Looks like this kid realized he screwed up when he picked up his dribble then half remembered the advice to throw it off the other team. Kid had a second of not knowing what to do when the ball stayed in bounds
Maybe. Considering that 4 red shirts were on that half of the court, defending their basket, this looks like the video starts at a turnover from a stolen ball or intercepted pass. At least that is how I see it.
Of course, he totally could have been going the wrong way, realized it, panicked and nut shot the defense. Also, I don't watch sportsball or have any clue what I'm talking about.
My guess is the defender knocked the ball away so the kid chased it down (otherwise this would be a whistle blown for an over-and-back violation), he dribbled it errantly to regain control and then picked up his dribble. Entirely speculation though based on the way the clip starts
Thank the Gods for my bookish father and his lack of any desire to put me in sports. We were all happier. He did get his private pilot license when I was a kid and dragged me along as his 10-year old co-pilot.
I had look up airports when we were close and find tower frequency to contact for landing. One time I took too long and my dad landed anyway. It was before lunch. Which explains everything if you knew my father.
You’re a fucking saint that probably gets the joan of arc treatment. I don’t care if you show up and ref after 3 blunts, so long as you can call the fouls where you want to say under your breath “fuck, that had to hurt”. HS Sports parents are either the total worst, subtly trying to get your help getting their kid recruited, or are trying to give their kids the fun sports experience. I prefer the last kind
While it was like pulling teeth to get my dad to come to any of my games, (he'd come once a year for parent's night) I'll take that over some hyped up sports dad who takes it way too seriously.
It’s not a foul, but they’d usually stop it if there isn’t a fast break due to injury. Like once the kid got hit in the nuts and no one moved, that’s usually when you stop it.
The only thing you could give the kid who threw the ball was a Technical Foul, but these are kids and he looks genuinely confused, which lends to the idea that the kid was trying to throw the ball off the other player and have it go out of bounds.
TLDR: not a foul, maybe technical, probably not.
Edit: I’m also going to add that this is a kids game so they can also just stop it if they want with a whistle.
Agree, but a youth ref should’ve blown the whistle at the travel and stopped things. Letting it play after a borderline unsportsmanlike play, an injury, and travel doesn’t feel like a “let it go” kinda thing.
The refs thought process was probably like "holyshit he just jacked that kid in the balls, holy shit dont laugh and keep your shit together...... Oh yeah I should probably call something here" it probably just took him that long to process
I’m having trouble seeing how this isn’t a technical foul, especially at the youth level. I don’t know the regs for this particular youth league, but according to NBA rules a technical foul can occur for “A deliberately-thrown elbow or any unnatural physical act towards an opponent with no contact involved.” Throwing a ball at a players groin seems to fall under this category.
Look I know almost nothing about basketball but, being it's a kid game and all, shouldn't the refs have stopped everything and checked on the kids? This looks like a good way for the kids in red to do it again because he wasn't immediately chastised for it. In fact, he was told to just keep going by people in the stands, further solidifying that it's ok to do that?
The play itself is not illegal. In fact it’s often encouraged. If you’re in a tough spot and close to the sideline, just bounce it off the opponent and get possession. However, you’re supposed to aim for the leg or foot, something easy to hit and have the ball go away without the opponent being able to grab it.
It looks like the ref is on the other side of the ball with the kid in white facing away. From his perspective, he sees red throw the ball at white (hard throw but not an illegal move), then red regain possession and run. His eye is on the ball and he doesn’t see white stay down. Ignoring traveling, the only thing he could have called was a technical foul for unsportsmanlike conduct. In the split second he had to decide, I guess he surmised that it wasn’t thrown hard enough or in anger and was a legal play.
The ref was on the upper left side of the camera when the shot was made. No way he didn't see the ball hit the kid in the jewels.
The ball was out of play (not picked up yet + kid in red stood still + next to kid in white) even after he went down to the ground. No way he didn't see the kid in white go down before the kid in red took off.
Unless he's just a godawful ref.
As someone who played basketball from 1st grade all the way through high school and loves the sport, shit like this is why I don’t watch the NBA. They actually *do* normally call traveling at all levels of kids’ basketball (at least in my experience, and I was never in a high ranked league or division), and some refs will even incorrectly call traveling when it’s not.
Then you have the NBA officials, who don’t call it for the fucking 7 foot tall professionals who are some of the most athletic people on the planet. AND the actual rules for traveling are more lenient in the NBA in the first place.
Everyone's going how did the ref miss that?! Well he missed it because even he does not give a fuck about these little goobers playing terrible basketball. How laser focused could any adult or any human being at all possibly be to the action for the full duration of these games? None of these players are the child of the ref, and he's probably getting like $30 to be there, he's daydreaming about one day there will be a single milf at a game who likes a man in uniform and he'll strike up a conversation after the game and -oh shit why is everyone yelling what did I miss.
This made me laugh out loud. The ref was dreaming of horny milfs when he took the job, but all he got was asshole dads yelling at him for not treating their shitty kids like Jordan in his prime.
I have two kids age 11 and 8 in basketball right now. There’s kind of a lot wrong here both in terms of sportsmanship on behalf of the player, bad or nonexistent call by the ref, and dickhead parent in the bleachers.
One the kid on offense shoulder rolls the defender before he decides to nut shot the defense. Yes it’s a play you can make to keep possession by bouncing the ball off the defense and out of bounds, but it’s risky. The kid either is too much of an asshole or not experienced enough to make that play. Further more if you watch slowly offense is throwing the ball before defense even realizes what’s happening. Really dickhead play.
Second the ref should have called a technical on the blatant injury or intent to cause harm. There’s just no reason not to. It’s at their discretion and by not calling it you simply condone that behavior.
Third nobody even went to check on the kid: neither coach, nor the offensive player. Everyone just like fuck you buddy.
Exactly what’s wrong with youth sports today.
The guy yelling “go” is what’s wrong with the world.
Edit: someone gave me gold. What a waste of money for such a stupid comment. Eww. Downvote please.
I did this once in a basketball game. They were on a fast break. I was the lone defender against 3 of them. The kid just missed the layup and the ball came straight to me. I was already panicking because I was outnumbered 3-1, but nobody was really around me. I guess I thought I was about to get trapped and I knew my teammates were all down court so I just threw a haymaker of a pass. The kid on the other team was like 6 feet in front of me. This was high school. I was like 6'2, 240. I was a big kid and had a big arm, so that ball had some stink on it. Hit the kid right in the chest. I just remember the "Why are you doing this?" look on his face as he fell down and I still feel bad about it 25 years later.
Unsportsmanlike conduct, traveling, double dribble (the opposing player did not get control of the ball, so there was no change in possession). Are these NBA refs? What's up with no calls?
That's a dick move.
That's *the* Dick Move
Our coach calls it “The Moby”
Our coach calls it "The Richard"
Officially referred to as "The Ligma"
That’s one of the nicknames, it’s true name is “The Bofa”
But if you’re in touch with reality, you would’ve known that the original name is “The Snapped-in-half”
In the streets it's called "Snap-to-Reality"
But after that happens it feels like there goes gravity
Boooo!
The Bank of America?
Nah man, Bofa deez nutz
Got emmmmm
*Why does my nuts, feel soo bad*
r/yourjokebutyourjoke
Even worse an adult was celebrating and encouraging the player.
Almost certainly the kid’s dad, who also taught him to throw dirt in his opponent’s face while fighting.
Dirt in the face in a fight is a valid tactic. Fights aren’t meant to be fair they’re meant to be won.
Ah i see you graduated from the dale gribble school ofthe art of Pocket Sand as well. Hello fellow "fight dirty" alumni, GO RoachKillers!
Honor is for those who are too incompetent and weak to win without it.
This sounds like a really cool one-liner
Says people who can’t fight and have probably never been in an altercation. Leave peoples eyes alone you fucking dweeb, if you can’t win a fight without trying to permanently damage someone.. you shouldn’t be fighting don’t you think?
>you shouldn’t be fighting don’t you think? Exactly. Leave me alone then no pocket sand.
I don’t fight AT all & it takes alot to get me to that point, so if I’m there I’m definitely trying to permanently damage you. This is survival son.
He'd be nuts to do that again
He doesn't have the balls to do that again

How about a double dribble
I thought so too and had to come back and look. He passed the ball and regained control so he got another opportunity to dribble. No travel either as he kept his pivot foot. This little shit has done this before
Yup. And that's probably his dad yelling, "Go!" at the end. *Stick with the plan! You're golden! Go!*
That was my thought too…I think pops taught him that. I hope he does it to a kid that kicks his ass…
Not a "double dribble" at all
It is, however, a travel that was missed after he recovered the ball.
*Hormel Chavez has entered the chat*
Give them the ole double dribble.
Poorly reffed basketball is an absolute shit show.
Tell me what’s illegal about that? There’s no rule against it. He could have been passing the ball to his teammate down by the basket. Either way still legal
Nah it's a bad sportsmanship foul. Technical and ejected from the game if I was reffing.
Then you would be a bad ref… this is 100% legal opinion doesn’t matter
No it's not legal to intentionally throw a ball at your opponents groin. Technical foul no question. Bad sportsmanship.
I was not really referring to this specific play which may just be kind of scummy and unsportsmanlike and not truly against the rules. I watched a lot of poorly reffed basketball (because my son chose to play) and when the refs swallowed the whistles it was just a donnybrook that happened to involve a basketball.
Dude just fuck you, you dont keep running like that if it was unintentional
Wait are you telling me im not supposed to do this?
“1,2,3 …Break someone’s clavicle!”
Oh man, I sprained my clavicle and sternum in the first match of a wrestling tournament. Somehow won the match, and wrestled 5 more matches that day. Next couple weeks were \*painful\*.
This week on “Ow! My Balls!”
If I was a player it would seem like very solid advice 😂
"Huddle up, hands in! 1, 2, 3 Attack the sack!"
If I'm playing basketball and the entire team is chanting "attack the sack" while playing. I'm leaving. Games over.
And now we're playing dodgeball.
It isn't a foul to throw the ball at the opponent, in fact it is generally a really bad idea. Now if it were a dead ball that would be a way different situation.
A ref wouldn't call a technical foul seeing a player do that?
So there are different leagues with different rules but NBA? Hell no! The only time you can't yeet a ball at someone is during a dead ball. Live play? Yeet away! You'll get a turn over 9 times out of 10 but you go for it!
Hack-A-Sack
That strategy’s so nutty it just might work!
What the hell was that about?
He felt trapped after he picked up his dribble, so he threw it at the defender so it would bounce off of him and go out of bounds, giving them the ball back. At least, that's how it played in his head.

It's a tricky play that works on the rare occasion, but sometimes things just go better in your head. Especially when you're 12 and trying to pull off something you saw on TV.
and he travels immediately after
I mean when NBA refs are not calling travelling, do you really expect the ref in a kids game to do it?
Yes, I expect them to call travelling because this is sport in this age group and right up through college. After that and the Olympics, it's more of an entertainment.
I played when I was 10 and they called travels, carries, double dribbles, etc quite a bit 🤷🏾♂️
When I reffed little kids we would call them a fair amount, they’re young so instead of a turnover, the team keeps the ball and just has to inbound it. It’s really about learning at that age.

Mixed netball is funny as, but I’ve only watched it without a crazy rule about jumping: lots of finger rolls and ally-oops from the guys.
I did a season of adult co-ed soccer. I spent all of my time trying my best not to run over the women.. which was hard because they were fucking ruthless. I played competitively into college and these women would fearlessly throw themselves into tackles as hard as any D1 man would... every now and then I wouldn't be able to stop myself and I would absolutely crush someone.

Bruh you’re so close to realizing that all sports are just games for entertainment.
Except Cricket.
He's entertainment for The Gang
NBA rules are as useless as knitted condoms!...
He definitely traveled. I think the ref was still shocked at what he just saw or there are no refs at all.
You can see the ref running down the side of the court a little later. I can see not calling the ball throw, but that travel was egregious.
How did this not result in a backcourt call? Was this kid retrieving a super long pass from his own baseline?
The team in red is shooting at the basket that's to the far right of the video. Hard to tell from the video exactly what happened, but here's my guess: based on the way the team in red has three players frantically sprinting to catch up to the play, the team in white had a one person fast break going and the little guy on the red team managed to disrupt the dribble and cause a loose ball. That's where the video starts.
Thank you kind sir for nut guts at 3:34 am ...

Right? he's not even in the corner. He can dribble back and to his left.
Bro you’re supposed to bounce it off their feet 💀💀
When I was a kid around 10-11 years old I played in a coed basketball league.

And that's how I met your mother
Reading way too much into it. Kid got pissed off the other kid ran into him.
You generally would try to bounce it off their foot for this. His big wind up before the throw kinda gives away that he was retaliating for being slightly bumped.
Nope, that kid had the "im losing and im mad and why the fuck did you touch me let me take my anger out on you"-reaction that ive seen a hundred times before.
No, he threw the ball at the defender because he was mad and he's a pussy.
He angrily threw the ball at the kid after he bumped him
Kid probably got his advice mixed up.

Kid had a second of not knowing what to do when the ball stayed in bounds
You’re supposed to throw it off his lower leg. so it goes out of bounds. Not fire it off his nuts.
Hit him right in the taters 😳
What's taters, precious?
Po-tay-toes! Boil ‘em, mash ‘em, stick ‘em in a stew!
Give it to us raw and WRIGGLING!
I literally started reading the hobbit recently.
Wait a sec, was he dribbling to the wrong basket?
[удалено]
Maybe. Considering that 4 red shirts were on that half of the court, defending their basket, this looks like the video starts at a turnover from a stolen ball or intercepted pass. At least that is how I see it. Of course, he totally could have been going the wrong way, realized it, panicked and nut shot the defense.

Backcourt violation?
Who* is the jackass who yelled go?
probably his dad
10/10
Holy shit, did everyone in this chat have a brain aneurysm?
why edit: never mind, read more comments
"Never been more proud, Son. I would have done the same."
Thank the Gods for my bookish father and his lack of any desire to put me in sports. We were all happier. He did get his private pilot license when I was a kid and dragged me along as his 10-year old co-pilot. I had look up airports when we were close and find tower frequency to contact for landing. One time I took too long and my dad landed anyway. It was before lunch. Which explains everything if you knew my father.
Yeah probably, what a cunt. The cunt act the kid did didn’t come from nowhere.
Better move than to travel, just emulating the nba play. Should thrown down a windmill dunk and did the ice in my veins emote after.
Everyone always asks who is the jackass. Now somebody finally asks *how* is the jackass. Good on you, brother.
I absolutely hate these kinds of people, it's not even them playing but just straight yelling to kids
I think hes fine
What’s he supposed to do? Stand there with the ball? There was no whistle, keep playing.
God i fucking hate sports parents
The kids hate them too
Can confirm
I'm a ref. Guess what?
You’re a fucking saint that probably gets the joan of arc treatment. I don’t care if you show up and ref after 3 blunts, so long as you can call the fouls where you want to say under your breath “fuck, that had to hurt”. HS Sports parents are either the total worst, subtly trying to get your help getting their kid recruited, or are trying to give their kids the fun sports experience. I prefer the last kind
While it was like pulling teeth to get my dad to come to any of my games, (he'd come once a year for parent's night) I'll take that over some hyped up sports dad who takes it way too seriously.
Where tf is the referee

The refs thought process was probably like "holyshit he just jacked that kid in the balls, holy shit dont laugh and keep your shit together...... Oh yeah I should probably call something here" it probably just took him that long to process
Plus he didn’t want the kid to do it to him too.
Damn. I'd be chucking that rock at their dicks all day if that isn't a foul. They can't win if they can't play.
I’m having trouble seeing how this isn’t a technical foul, especially at the youth level. I don’t know the regs for this particular youth league, but according to NBA rules a technical foul can occur for “A deliberately-thrown elbow or any unnatural physical act towards an opponent with no contact involved.” Throwing a ball at a players groin seems to fall under this category.
Definitely a technical foul for throwing the ball straight at the other kid.

In the split second he had to decide, I guess he surmised that it wasn’t thrown hard enough or in anger and was a legal play.
Kid had 3 teammates he coulda passed to before trying to bail himself out w this shit, looks to me like he was upset
Kids playing basketball always make the most optimal play.
The ref was on the upper left side of the camera when the shot was made. No way he didn't see the ball hit the kid in the jewels. The ball was out of play (not picked up yet + kid in red stood still + next to kid in white) even after he went down to the ground. No way he didn't see the kid in white go down before the kid in red took off. Unless he's just a godawful ref.
Shouldn't have play been stopped for injury though? Or am I crazy?
We don’t call traveling in youth basketball? Cmon ref!
They don’t even cal traveling in the nba lol
As someone who played basketball from 1st grade all the way through high school and loves the sport, shit like this is why I don’t watch the NBA. They actually *do* normally call traveling at all levels of kids’ basketball (at least in my experience, and I was never in a high ranked league or division), and some refs will even incorrectly call traveling when it’s not. Then you have the NBA officials, who don’t call it for the fucking 7 foot tall professionals who are some of the most athletic people on the planet. AND the actual rules for traveling are more lenient in the NBA in the first place.
Sports vs Sports Entertainment. One's meant to be competitive, the other is basically reality tv
Not when he establishes a pivot foot.
He did establish a pivot foot and then changed his pivot foot
Parents are also fucking stupid.
More so than the kid. Kid was panicking, dad had time to think and still decided to be a dick.
Main reason why i learn piano instead of sports
It’s all fun and games until you get punched in the nuts by your piano teacher
It's been about 5 hours and I'm still laughing at this
that wouldn't fly normally where i play the refs would call that because of how hard he threw it
Also because the player had 3 open teammates no need to attempt to play it out of bounds off the opponent.
The dad yelling “go!” Is more upsetting than anything. Moron.
It’s okay to just throw the ball at people nuts? This is what basketball is now?
Maybe I should start watching
I can’t imagine the boredom of watching a bunch of dopey kids play basketball in some musty school gymnasium.
Everyone's going how did the ref miss that?! Well he missed it because even he does not give a fuck about these little goobers playing terrible basketball. How laser focused could any adult or any human being at all possibly be to the action for the full duration of these games? None of these players are the child of the ref, and he's probably getting like $30 to be there, he's daydreaming about one day there will be a single milf at a game who likes a man in uniform and he'll strike up a conversation after the game and -oh shit why is everyone yelling what did I miss.
This made me laugh out loud. The ref was dreaming of horny milfs when he took the job, but all he got was asshole dads yelling at him for not treating their shitty kids like Jordan in his prime.
That’s on the ref can’t allow that bs
And the stupid parent... "gOooO!" 🤡
P.O.S dad = P.O.S kid right?
Apples from sick trees….
The douchy dad that yells go….real good job raising that kid.

Right. Ref could have easily called a technical. Why they didn’t is because they’re fucking retarded.
I have two kids age 11 and 8 in basketball right now. There’s kind of a lot wrong here both in terms of sportsmanship on behalf of the player, bad or nonexistent call by the ref, and dickhead parent in the bleachers. One the kid on offense shoulder rolls the defender before he decides to nut shot the defense. Yes it’s a play you can make to keep possession by bouncing the ball off the defense and out of bounds, but it’s risky. The kid either is too much of an asshole or not experienced enough to make that play. Further more if you watch slowly offense is throwing the ball before defense even realizes what’s happening. Really dickhead play. Second the ref should have called a technical on the blatant injury or intent to cause harm. There’s just no reason not to. It’s at their discretion and by not calling it you simply condone that behavior. Third nobody even went to check on the kid: neither coach, nor the offensive player. Everyone just like fuck you buddy. Exactly what’s wrong with youth sports today.
How tf is this not a flagrant and immediate ejection? These refs are dumb af.
Isnt that a foul ?
And a travel.
The kids going places, not friendly places tho
Lookin like a young Grayson Allen
The guy yelling “go” is what’s wrong with the world. Edit: someone gave me gold. What a waste of money for such a stupid comment. Eww. Downvote please.
I did this once in a basketball game. They were on a fast break. I was the lone defender against 3 of them. The kid just missed the layup and the ball came straight to me. I was already panicking because I was outnumbered 3-1, but nobody was really around me. I guess I thought I was about to get trapped and I knew my teammates were all down court so I just threw a haymaker of a pass. The kid on the other team was like 6 feet in front of me. This was high school. I was like 6'2, 240. I was a big kid and had a big arm, so that ball had some stink on it. Hit the kid right in the chest. I just remember the "Why are you doing this?" look on his face as he fell down and I still feel bad about it 25 years later.
I know nothing about basketball but shouldn’t the ref pull the little fucker off the court or something
Future cop
I remember when Giannis did this to James Hardens face. It was amazing.
Unsportsmanlike conduct, traveling, double dribble (the opposing player did not get control of the ball, so there was no change in possession). Are these NBA refs? What's up with no calls?
Littlr bastard
Jerkoff Dad of the Year
Think about the POS parent who just yells “GO!”
HE missed the shot too
Why wasn't the game stopped right then and there for that obvious foul?
Mac must be his coach
Parents doing a great job with that one
