OT: Brandon Knight with one of the most embarrassing missed layups of all time
There are few things more embarrassing than being victimized by a ferocious alley-oop. Last night, Brandon Knight tried to one-up that by blowing a woud-be game-winning, unopposed layup as time expired.

Lucky for him, they still won the game. They will be able to laugh this one off. But yes, that was embarrassing..

it would have been much worse had they been down 1 instead of tied.

Reminds me of my junior high days.
November 20th, 2014 at 12:00 PM ^
I think this one is more embarrassing.

Wow. This young man has no shortage of cringeworthy NBA moments.

I don't know if it's THAT embarrassing. He obviously should have made it, but given that the clock was running down, he wasn't able to slow down at all before going up. That adds at least a slight degree of difficulty.

that is a 0/100 on the difficulty rating scale.

By the time he retires, Brandon Knight is going to have the greatest derp mixtape this side of JaVale McGee

and see if he's okay after that embarrassing moment...

is not the only forgettable moment of his career in Detroit. I just found that highlight package of low tide snafus sort of revealing... even if you rationalize the experience. No NBA talent getting paid bundles wants to be seen as the league's Charlie Brown.
I get the feeling that he's been on kind of a roll in a bad night lore, getting crossed over, toppling over on a stepback three, posterized and jammed on a power dunk attempt. This suggests Mr. Knight is more like the punchline guy on the end of a Globetrotters-Washington Generals routine. .
But hey, he's made it to the bigtime. Funny stuff.

One thing you have to give the guy credit for though: at least trying to defend in those situations where he gets posterized. Too many guys in the NBA just step out of the way if it looks like they might get dunked on. It takes some heart to step in there and at least try to impede the easy basket.

Bucks fan here. While that was upsetting, Knight drilled the tieing three pointer in the 2nd OT, and then hit the final two free throws to ice the game in the 3rd OT. Redeemed himself indeed. Also, Knight is having a pretty good year this year, and is making the jennings trade look like a steal

I would love to have Brandon Knight back in Detroit. Never wanted to move him to begin with. He's a solid kid with an incredible work ethic and a solid head on his shoulders. If his biggest sin is missing a layup, I'm not going to be the one to throw stones at him.

Add Josh Smith to that list of garbage as well. And unlike Knight, he comes across as a real ass.
