The Boston Celtics have accounted for two of the NBA’s craziest made baskets this season.
Unfortunately, neither of them have counted.
Chances are you remember Jae Crowder’s full-court heave against the Indiana Pacers last week. Well, Evan Turner tried to do his teammate one better in the third quarter of Tuesday’s game against the Milwaukee Bucks.
After a Bucks turnover, Turner was fouled well before the half-court line but decided to shoot it anyway in hopes of drawing a continuation foul. He didn’t get it, but he somehow nailed the shot.
Yet Turner’s circus shot would suffer the same fate as Crowder’s, as the referees called a foul on the floor.
You can’t make this stuff up.
