SALT LAKE CITY — Three more fun stories from the world of sports in today's From Left Field!

A double bicycle kick goal

A goal where both the assist and the goal itself come from bicycle kicks? That's the dream that Brazilian side Botafogo realized against Estudiantes Wednesday.

Okay, let's be honest: that first bicycle kick is probably a mis-hit. But still, impressive ambition on both kicks, anyway.

Manu's free throw woes

Down three points and with under three seconds left Wednesday, Manu Ginobili was sent to the free throw line. The recipe here is clear: make the first free throw, then miss the second and hope for a rebound and a putback.

Well, instead, Ginobili missed the one he was trying to make and made the one he was trying to miss.

A lot of dunks for a practice

NCAA teams had their open practices Wednesday in preparation for the tournament. Since they're open to the public, though, most coaches use them as a light shootaround and don't work on much of the scheming for the game ahead.

East Tennessee State took advantage by holding their own dunk contest.
