Crew was Garretson, Kirkland, Roe.
Kirkland began refereeing in 1994 and moved to the NBA in 2000. Kirkland failed to block Humphries' shot but did succeed in stopping him from shooting the ball; his goal, it seems, was to allow substitutes into the game. It’s unclear why it would matter if Humphries attempted the free throw or not if play was already whistled dead but Kirkland delivered the laughs anyway. The exchange occurred with 7:42 remaining in the fourth quarter and the Nets leading 81-68. Humphries finished with 11 points and two rebounds on one-for-one shooting from the field. He hit nine of his 10 free throw attempts, including the attempts immediately before and after Kirkland’s block attempt.

Ref tries to block Humphries’ free throw
Found 8 hours ago on Larry Brown Sports:  PLAYERS: Kris Humphries, Dikembe Mutombo TEAMS: Brooklyn Nets, Toronto Raptors From Larry Brown Sports: NBA referee Courtney Kirkland treated us to one of the more humorous moments of the season when he got a little too aggressive while trying to stop Kris Humphries from attempting a free throw. The Brooklyn Nets forward was at the line to shoot free throws in the fourth quarter against the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday night when Kirkland sprang in out of nowhere and tried to give him the Dikembe Mutombo treatment. According to The Brooklyn Game, Kirkland was just trying to prevent Humphries from shooting before a substitute entered the game. Humphries made both his attempts and finished with 11 points in the Nets’ 94-88 win. We’re thinking Kirkland could have used a subtler method.
