Small-college player embarrasses hapless defender with dunk

By Eamonn Brennan

Watch the above video. The dunker is Jarrett Johnson of Anderson University in South Carolina. The dunkee is a hapless fellow without a name (Update: Thanks to a commenter, the player appears to be No. 30, Mason Ambler) that plays for Coker College. That's really all I can tell you about the two players involved here, except what I know from the video I was just sent by like three people, and that's this: Mr. Nameless Ambler made the horrible too-common mistake of attempting to take a charge against a really, really athletic player. He paid the price. And then when the dunk is over, he doesn't hop back up -- he lays there, taking in what just happened to him, enduring the taunts of Anderson teammates as they jump and celebrate and yell in his face. (I think one actually takes a victory lap.)

It's the sort of thing that can happen to anyone that plays basketball at any time. All you can do is be thankful it's not you, or your favorite team, and that if it was, it didn't go on the Internet. Embarassment this potent doesn't ever leave the YouTubes.
