Video: Hornets' halftime performer eats rim

By J.E. Skeets

I originally thought this was a Pistons' dunker based on Detroit's dreadful week (see: eight consecutive losses, line-up issues, angrily thrown towels), but nope, I'm told this is a member of the Hornets' trampoline dunk team eating some rim. I really should have known better, given the Hornets' previous halftime woes ...

I love how the clip makes it look as though Rasheed Wallace is throwing his towel because of the poor dude's face plant. In fact, if I squint real hard, I can almost hear 'Sheed's post-game comments now ...

"It was (expletive), man! It was (expletive)! Sometimes we drop to the level of our opponent's trampoline dunk team. That cat had that dunk easily, knowing good and well he shouldn't have lost his concentration, but he still made a fool of himself on TV. Same thing with our losses this season. But I tell you, if we can find our consistency, if that guy bounces right back up, we'll be fine, man. Everyone will be fine."

    Somehow I see Sheed Wallace getting a tech for that jawbreaking dunk.

    Oddly, I was there, staring right at this whole display, and completely missed this. Shows how much I truly and deeply care about in game entertainment.
    But don't worry. Super Hugo is still loose in the world, unleashing his particular brand of fiery terror on basketball games. He was part of this same stunt.
