Imagine you were a big NBA fan and were posed this question. Which NBA player goaltended his own team’s buzzer-beating shot attempt after the buzzer sounded, thereby preventing his team from winning?
Samuel Dalembert Denies His Own Team A Chance To Win
↵Something tells me you’d guess “Samuel Dalembert” pretty quickly. The dude’s been in the league for eight years and still makes plays that 15-year-olds would avoid. Case in point: last night’s game against the Mavericks. Fast forward to the 49-second mark to see Dalembert swat away teammate Andre Iguodala’s game-winning three-point attempt.

↵Dalembert apparently thought the shot was an alley-oop, Iguodala was apparently pissed (who wouldn’t be) and coach Eddie Jordan somehow found a way to defend Dalembert’s decision by saying the shot was going to miss anyway. Guys, need I remind you that there were just 1.4 seconds left in the game. (*cues Herm Edwards voice). Hello!
↵Dysfunction, thy name is 76ers. I hope nobody is still wondering why they’re 5-13, have lost seven in a row, are desperate enough to give Allen Iverson a chance and have so little fan support that one blogger is starting a Bill Simmons-like campaign to become the team’s head coach.
