Someone find that man a jump shot!

Also, another reason to be at your proper dead ball spots and not fooling around. You might end up on a "Referee fails" YouTube clip!

I have never shot at ball at a hoop at a game site and I have never worked with someone who has.

Reasons:

1) You look like a horse's rump

2) You could miss and not have a chance for another shot, and it is well known that leaving a gym after having missed one's last shot messes with karma, and not in a good way. Why do you think Johnny Havlicek always made two layups at the end of warm-ups?

Truer words have never been spoken.

Except the last shot must swish w/o touching any rim, or you are toast.

With some officials I have seen, that means the 2nd half would be delayed along time....

Notice the obligatory holding of ball with one hand, albeit the 28.5 variety.

There's something goofy about the bottom of his v-neck area. It almost looks as if he's wearing a bow tie.
