ALLEY-OOPS I DID IT AGAIN — If I had a nickel for every time this week two teammates mistakenly went up for the same dunk in a professional basketball game, I'd only have two nickels, but it's still weird that it happened twice.
The most viral example was on Tuesday when Chicago Bulls forward Torrey Craig threw the basketball off the backboard and attempted to slam it home himself. His teammate Andre Drummond was right behind him and thought the pass was for him, causing both to miss the dunk in a hilarious disaster of a highlight destined for the Sports Center Not-Top-10 record books.
It was later revealed, however, that two days prior, two players for French team Limoges had a similar incident when a player lobbed the ball up near the basket and two players soared in for the alley-oop, with one seemingly blocking the other's attempt and foiling the play all together.
The team posted the clip to its Instagram page with the caption, "The attempt to double-dunk."
