In a game I was playing once, I had the ball around the three point line towards the side. I had the ball to one side of my body and swung it high and to the other side as I started to drive. I blew by the defender towards the basket. I did a 360 slam over th e next defender...oops back to reality...I did a layup and looked back to see where the defender went...I expected him to be right with me. He was down on the floor where the play started with a huge gash on his brow...several stitches required Apparently, I got him with my elbow. I didn't even realize I touched him more than just a brush.
