When you miss a dunk, just take the whole thing with you.
If Cody Reilly can’t have his fun, no-one else is going to.
The sought-after high school basketball player made sure his name emerged from a summer tournament in Pasadena, California when he went powering through for a dunk but ripped the rim apart and smashed the backboard to the ground.
The game was subsequently abandoned as stewards cleaned up the broken glass from the floor.
Reilly didn’t look too bothered. He’ll just sit down now and watch even more college offers come in.
Because he’s got some power alright.
Is there anything to be said for a good, old-fashioned lay-up?
