This is the hero we needed.
Ricky O'Donnell has covered basketball at all levels for more than a decade at SB Nation. He’s currently the Associate Director of Programming.

1. The ball gets stuck behind the basket
2. It’s like, really, really stuck

5. HE’S GOT IT
6. High-five for our hero
7. Finally ... MVP chants
You deserve it, little man. Thanks for saving the day.
