Before I explain what happened here in detail, I think we can all agree that this guy’s name is unbelievable.  Tiny Gallon is an enormous big man who shatters backboards.  It’s almost a better fit than Paul Bunyan.  While Just-in’Love Smith may still hold the title for best name in college basketball, Tiny Gallon is definitely on the map.  Anyways, in the second half as one of his teammates lobbed him the ball, he went up to try to throw it down for an alley-oop.  He missed the ball, but grabbed the rim with both hands, yanking down and unintentionally smashing the backboard into a million little pieces.

The incident caused a 50-minute delay during which some players went and showered to get all the bits of glass off of them.  Although Tiny Gallon’s Sooners were dropped hard by the Zags 83-69, very few people will remember the final score.  Hopefully we see more of Tiny Gallon in the future, if only to hear his name.

This is Perfection

Based on his name, I’m guessing this kid has no problems with the ladies.  How does a girl say no to “Hey, my name is Just-In’Love and I’m on the basketball team”?  And you know he doesn’t have any “fat little girlfriends” like those Texas Tech football players.  On top of that, without having even read a scouting report on him or seen him play, I’m confident that he’s got mad skills on the court.  Maybe not exclamation point Carmelo dunk skills, but I bet he’s got great handles and a silky smooth jumper.

How could it be any other way?
