Imagine for a second, you’re a 27-year-old NBA rookie. You’re playing in Detroit, a place your team hasn’t won since 2006. Your family and friends are at the game, occupying an entire section, waving your country’s flag.
Coach turns to you, says, “we need a few good minutes out of you son. Starters need a rest. Give us the best you got.”
You eagerly hop off the bench. Your time has come to shine. You’ve been waiting for this moment your entire life. There are tears of joy from your proud countrymen in the stands. Then you do the unthinkable….
The following is the sad story of Mirza Teletovic. A man who threw up three airballs in three consecutive possessions. I was there to catch the moment in person. I was moved by the incredible feat. I nearly soiled myself as a result.
The first airball
The second airball
The third and final airball
That awkward moment

The walk of shame
The ribbing from Pistons announcers

Finally, your sad friends and family
