MANILA, Philippines – Highlight dunks are routine for import Tony Mitchell each time he takes the court with the Star Hotshots in the 2017 PBA Commissioner’s Cup.
But his and-one dunk on Saturday, May 6 in Batangas City was strong enough for the hoop to give way, bending over backwards toward the wall.
Mitchell was oblivious to what had happened as he celebrated beneath the basket in what would have been a dangerous position had the backboard fallen straight down to the floor.
PBA and arena officials checked on the basket, raising it up again and using scotch tape to wrap the part with a screw to hold it together.
Mitchell’s dunk brought the crowd to its feet as it gave the Hotshots a 7-point advantage – after he completed the free throw – with under two minutes to play.
Star went on to win, 99-93, for a 6-2 record. – Rappler.com
