It’s easy to miss exactly what happened in that Vine. At first glance, it’s simply Kentucky forward Alex Poythress being ludicrously athletic and hammering down the alley-oop. Notice what happens after the dunk. Poythress is walking away and grabbing his front teeth. Why?

HE GOT THEM CAUGHT IN THE NET!

Can you even imagine the pain of having your entire body weight resting on your teeth? This is some Dustbowl-era circus stuff. Poythress only got them stuck for a second, but that’s enough. I’d be crying for the rest of the game.
