Man, we hated to see this last night during the Nuggets-Lakers preseason game. After a nice scoop pass from Ty Lawson, Timofey Mozgov had a clear lane for the dunk. Except, the front of the rim rejected his dunk attempt as Lawson and thousands of Nuggets fans watching on TV cringed.
Mozgov isn’t a bad player, despite his last name taking on the form of a verb following Blake Griffin‘s rookie year decimation. But he put up a pretty insane 29-rebound, 23-point career game last season and even Mozgov’d Josh Smith.
That’s what makes his preseason rejection so heartbreaking.
