So, it’s a little bit embarrassing to admit, but I was completely befuddled by the free throws which appear at the end of this video. The thing is, Shelvin Mack was shooting free throws with 1:27 left in the fourth quarter. That’s the same exact time that Adreian “Still Better than Cameron” Payne was supposed to be shooting free throws. So my first thought was “damn, they’ve got the Macksturbator at the line shooting free throws but they’re totally crediting them to the Bringer of Payne.” I was all set to show the Mack free throws in this video until he missed the second one and Payne got fouled while trying to rebound the miss.
It’s a good thing that happened because I might have otherwise just totally missed the fact that Payne really did shoot some free throws of his own. That would have been my most embarrassing highlight blunder since I forgot a Justise “Bust” Winslow free throw in a video a couple weeks back. Honestly, it would have rivaled the embarrassment of my first-ever highlight video, where low-quality, stuttery shots of Andrew Bogut are interspersed with random periods of black screen. So it’s a good thing I caught myself before I randomly included Shelvin Mack free throws in an Adreian Payne highlight video.
