Bay High School (AR) basketball player Zeke Davis found himself in a rather tough situation, down 82-80 in double-overtime during a recent game. Zeke, playing with four fouls, was the last man standing on the court for Bay with seconds remaining. That’s right. Down two, Zeke vs. five opponents with just enough time to get a shot up to win the game — all by himself.
As you can see in the video posted by Zeke, he’s able to dribble through four defenders before getting a beautiful look at a game-winning three-pointer that was a little short.
What would’ve happened if the free throw would’ve gone in? Good question. Perhaps one of the basketball experts on here could explain a rule I’ve never heard of.
“What would’ve happened if the free throw would’ve gone in? ” My exact question. I don’t have an answer other than he would have to bounce it off a defensive player to himself.
Kid deserves Player of the Year for even getting a shot off.
In this time of Covid foolishness, I’m thankful that only a few people had to witness what must have been a truly awful exhibition of basketball. I’m glad the clip was only a few seconds. Then internet can be a bad place, but even it doesn’t deserve multiple minutes of that “competition.” I don’t know what’s worse…the kid’s playing ability or his Instagram handle. Wow.
It’s a turnover. Unless one of the opponents wanted to help. It would have been awesome if he made that shot. How was the game staying that close with fewer and fewer players on one team?
