Brandon Knight's Epic NBA Posterization Fuels Internet Glee

Let's get one thing straight: Brandon Knight did the right thing. He made the right play, the hard-working play, the courageous play, and there are plenty of other image-conscious NBA players who never would have stepped in there the way he did

But, that being said — daaaaaaaaaaaaamn

If you didn't catch the highlight last night and need to get up to speed, here's what happened: Knight's Detroit Pistons were taking on the Los Angeles Clippers Sunday evening. The Clippers — known to sports fans as "Lob City" for their propensity for high-flying alley-oops — ran a lob play for center DeAndre Jordan, who came steaming down the lane with all of his 6-feet-11 inches and 265 pounds hurtling toward the rim. The lob went up. Jordan went up. Knight — who stands 6-foot-3 and weights 189 pounds - went up. The two collided in mid air and Knight went down. Hard. Then the ball bounced off his head.
