The sanctity of the game of basketball was destroyed tonight in Indianapolis, and for his singular part in the destruction, Myles Turner was rightfully booed.
Check out the final clip of this video if you want to see Naismith’s creation get dragged through the mud. Personally, I suggest stopping this video at about 2:24, and going no further. However, those who want to witness the downfall of the NBA as we know it can continue on, knowing that what they are about to see will shake to their core.
For those who are weak of heart, I can describe what happened, as if that is not horrific enough: after Turner dunked it, he did a pullup on the rim. The referee tried to maintain order by calling a technical foul, but the damage was done, and the fans knew it; boos cascaded down from all corners of the arena. Turner could only smile dopily as the realization came upon him that he had just undone everything that the NBA had striven for all these years. Undone in a mere second by a disgraceful act, the effects of which will echo throughout eternity.
