00:00He'd been awarded two free throws, but when he took his shot and then immediately dunked the
00:04rebound, everyone was quite confused. Is that a technical foul? See, in the case of multiple
00:09free throws in basketball, a ball rebounding off the ring can only be live and in play after the
00:15final throw. But despite this seemingly obvious screw-up, Jarrus Walker was adamant that he
00:20hadn't actually done anything wrong. And as he desperately pleaded his case to the referees,
00:25they realised he was right. See, Jarrus had remembered something that the referees, the
00:30other players and the commentators had seemingly forgotten. He'd actually already taken his first
00:36throw. So how did everyone in the stadium suddenly have amnesia about his first shot? Well, because
00:43immediately after his first shot, a timeout was called. And when the players eventually trickled
00:48back onto the court after the huddle, everyone had assumed that he was still on his first free throw.
00:53So Jarrus, understanding the confusion, purposely gave up the second free throw point by bricking
00:59the ball off the rim and then casually slammed it in for two more points, earning himself three
01:04points off of what would have been a two-point play, and his team went on to win the game.
