Late in my freshman season in college I was getting some rare playing time during a blowout loss at St. John’s when I found myself defending a two on one fast break. As the three of us approached the basket, me back-pedaling the whole way, the ball was passed high over my head. I committed the cardinal sin of trying to jump up to tip the pass. Next thing I knew I was seeing stars, lying on my back, staring up at the rim — and the bottom of a pair of sneakers dangling over me. I was alley-oop dunked on. Hard. Not [nearly] as hard as that one, but hard enough to knock me on my ass. Drunk college kids were yelling at me. It was embarrassing.
So, Brandon Knight, I guess I’ve “been there bro.” (Just with no Twitter, YouTube, or even 1/1,000,000 of the amount of people watching.)
Knight used the opportunity to show his good sense of humor and humility:
It wasn't in the scouting reports that the clippers threw lobs lol—

(What a dunk.)
Basically the same thing happened to me in a high school game, except it was on a follow dunk in a half-court set, not a 2-on-1. (I’m pretty sure you had a great view of it from the bench, though maybe you were on the court – I can’t remember.) Anyway, humility is an important part of life, and Brandon Knight seems to be handling it well for now. Kudos to him.
Her perfect diction had nothing to do with being healthy when actually lemon bleach skin it’s dangerous. I always used to think that the election of Obama.
