After a mouth-watering first episode, Shaqtin’ A Fool is coming back fresh this Wednesday. We give you the Top 10 of the best actions every night, but from time to time you have to have fun remembering that NBA players are also humans, and that they are not infallible.
On the menu of the day, a small Ivica Zubac as an aperitif. The Bosnian retrieves the swell under his basket, turns around and sends a ave maria from his racket, which touches the circle but does not fit. Too bad, he could have given us a nice buzzer beater at halftime. Oh no, there were eight seconds left on the clock, and we still don’t know what went through the head of the big man. Come on, we forget and we go to the entrance, for which Kyle Kuzma will act as a server. The Washington Wizards power winger likes to put on a show, and what better opportunity than a little family counterattack? No one between him and the basket, five seconds to get ready, we’re going to send a little windmill knocked down with both hands, and the whole room rises. But everyone sits down very quickly, since the ball bounces off the hoop. Whoops. Well, we move on with a main course that will keep us on our toes. Some players are pioneers, inventing gestures that those who follow want to imitate. This is the case of Luke Kornet, whose defense has created the buzz in recent days. To defend three-point shots, what better than to jump straight like a stake, arms in the air, at racket level? Lots of things a priori, but this is the method Celtic chose to prevent Isaac Okoro from scoring. And obviously it works, since the Cavalier misses two in a row. Come on, finally dessert, the moment we prefer. This time, no player in particular, it’s the entire Lakers team who takes it for his rank. A small compilation of their best airballs, missed lay-ups and other sweets, to end the meal well.
That’s it for this week in Shaqtin’ A Fool and it’s already not bad, let’s not be too greedy either, only Bobby Portis can have eyes bigger than his stomach, literally. We hope that we will have as much to eat next week.
