This college basketball player smashed his head into the backboard during a block

You need to know off the bat that the player in this video is OK and he returned to the court moments after this happened.

North Central College played Augustana on Wednesday night when 6’4 guard Blaise Meredith chased down a block in a moment we’ve seen play out hundreds of times before. What we haven’t seen, however, is a player clothesline himself on the backboard while doing it.

This video looks so brutal, but thankfully Meredith was able to return to the game moments later — somehow. If I plowed into the backboard. It might not be the smoothest highlight to put on your game film, but not everyone can get the ups needed to do this anyway — so maybe it’s a 50/50.
