MANILA, Philippines — Yesterday, Carlos Boozer was a lucky guy after landing a haymaker to referee Danny Crawford’s groin AND getting away with it:
It was even-steven late in the first half between the Chicago Bulls and the Dallas Mavericks when Boozer connected on a tough layup. Boozer then celebrated that basket with another shot — this time, straight into the referee’s marbles.
Fortunately for him, the ref managed to laugh off the incident understanding that it was nothing but a misplaced fist pump.
Boozer’s luck apparently soon ran out as they went on to suffer a painful 100-98 defeat to the Mavs.
An almost identical incident also happened in the 2010 NBA Finals between the Boston Celtics and the Los Angeles Lakers. The ref gets on the wrong end of Paul Pierce’s celebration and receives a right hook right in the kisser.
If only Mike Tyson could take a punch like that, he’d still be fighting.
