Funny when it involves one team's tall player versus the other team's shortest player. Just as funny when it involves two guards. In many cases, they've never done this before, and they look like deer in headlights.

I've had this happen twice. Once it resulted in a re-jump between a little and a big, the other time it was two guards who I'm pretty sure (based on the deer in the headlights look) had never been jumpers at any time in their young lives. None was old enough to appreciate my, "Welcome to 1970," comment.
