Tonight at the end of the first half of the Nuggets-Lakers Game 2, with only a few seconds left on the clock, Denver had possession on the inbounds. Surprisingly, George Karl had Mr. Big Shot inbounding the ball instead of taking the last second shot. Did that stop Billups from coming up big and scoring for Denver? No way.
You may be wondering how, right? By 'punking' one of the greatest players in the game, Kobe Bryant, with a well known playground move. Chauncey Billups when inbounding, noticed that Kobe Bryant had his back to him. So he just bounced the ball off of Kobe's back, right in the numbers, back to himself then dribbled in unguarded for the easy score.
Some people might call that move risky or reckless. Some might call it juvenile. I call a move like that 'crafty' and Mr. Big Shot is a crafty veteran that understands the rules and the effectiveness of the move if a player takes his eye off the ball.
Mr. Bryant....you've been Punk'd....Mr. Big Shot style:
Some call that being Punk'd. I call that being veteranized. Whatever you call it, enjoy the video by that same Hoops Doctor:
Remember, it's not the first time that Kobe has been fooled by this.
