Let me set the stage here. You’re one of the top basketball recruits in the country, and the most hyped since Lebron James. You’ve already built a bad reputation for being arrogant, getting in trouble with the law, and getting ejected from games. You’re in the state championship game during your senior season ahead 103-61 near the end of the game. You’re passed the ball off a steal and have a clear breakaway to the basket. What you do you do?
Do you just be classy and pull it out and run time off the clock?
Do you shoot a leisurely layup to not rub it in your opponent’s face?
Do you dunk it, because the crowd wants to see a dunk?
No, you throw the ball off the backboard to yourself, dunk it, then just throw the ball as far as you can into the crowd WHILE THE GAME IS STILL GOING, then get a technical foul. I can’t wait to boo OJ Mayo at USC.

The move is eerily synonymous to Chong Li waving Jackson’s Harley Davidson headband in Van Damme’s (Frank Dux) face in BloodSport, just after he smashes Jackson’s head and puts him in a coma just to make a point.
