There’s a reason why when the likes of LeBron James and Aaron Gordon hurdle through the paint and toward the basket, ball in hand, opposing players duck out of the way. No defender wants to get posterized. No one wants to get embarrassed. And
no one wants whatever happened to this Houston Baptist player to happen to them.
In a late-season conference matchup between the University of the Incarnate Word and the Huskies, an unremarkable fast break turned into an unauthorized piggyback ride, as Shawn Johnson’s highlight-reel dunk became a moment to forget for defender Asa Cantwell. It was, it must be said, completely humiliating.
By our count, the post-slam piggyback lasted about 10 ticks.
Poor Huskies. Obviously they lost the matchup,
97-86, with dunker Johnson tallying 27 points, eight rebounds and a portfolio clip for the ages.
