NICK WARD DUNKS DOWN A WHOLE DAMN BASKET IN ISRAEL

Nick Ward is making his presence felt in Israeli professional basketball by DUNKING DOWN AN ENTIRE BASKET.

Let me repeat…

NICK WARD DUNKED A BASKETBALL AND BROUGHT DOWN THE ENTIRE MECHANISM FOR SCORING IN BASKETBALL.

Let’s take a look.

I don’t know if they aren’t used to a person of Nick’s size in that gym or if somebody messed up and forgot to secure the basket or what happened here. Did they forget to fill the base with water? I remember that happening in my youth. We’d have to stack big rocks and old cinder blocks on the back so the basket wouldn’t move. That really doesn’t matter, because the visual of the entire basket and stanchion slowly tipping forward is funny as hell.

Ward was playing in the preseason for Israeli Premier League team Gilboa Galil. We don’t have many other details aside from that as statistics for this type of international friendly game aren’t readily available.

Either way, it looks like Ward is making an early impact with his new team.

Now somebody bolt that damn basket to the floor or add some water and sandbags to the base to hold that sucker down.
