Seriously — this would never, ever happen in the NBA. You have coaches that call timeouts with 0.2 ticks left to devise a tip play or to draw up a defense against that tip. I just hope this didn’t happen in one of those psycho countries where they kill players and coaches after own goals or bad games. Even though truth be told, those players should probably be shot.

But to be fair, this type of decision making is rampant throughout sports. We see bad decisions made by athletes on a daily basis. Like 2 brothers giving each other a sloppy kiss on the lips on draft day. Even amateur, average weekend warriors make awful decisions when it comes to playing sports. Like letting Bill drive the golf cart after he’s drank 9 beers.

Let’s just hope that coach and those players live to make their next sports goof.

Tyler Amaya plays basketball for the Bellingham Slam, an International Basketball League team.  Not only did he drop 44 points on this night, but he made an over-the-shoulder, back-to-the-basket shot while sitting on the floor.  He made that shot after driving to the lane, missing a wild shot attempt and hitting the deck, only to find the rebound had landed right in his hands.  Without hesitation and facing the complete wrong direction, he heaved up the one-handed shot and in it went.

Although maybe you know a guy who can make this shot in an empty gym, a few stars come to mind who might be able to pull something like this off in the flow of a game.  Michael Jordan, Dwayne Wade, Kobe Bryant, George “Iceman” Gervin, and maybe Pistol Pete.  In fact Kobe made a circus shot of his own just the other night.  For Tyler Amaya, that’s good company to be included in.
