Big Baby Dunk Fail, Will You Be My Valentine?
The Heat may have lost to the Celtics on Sunday, but there was one bright spot
As the cliche goes, sometimes you find love where you least expect it.
I was watching my favorite basketball team drop the ball against a hated rival yet again, but you, failed Glen Davis dunk, set my heart on fire.
As "Big Baby" was streaking across the court with the grace and swiftness of an aircraft carrier, I was preparing to cringe and sulk at the careless turnover that set you in motion. But so much can change in an instant, and you proved that Sunday afternoon in Boston.
Big Baby eschewed the simple layup and went for the exclamation-point slam. Alas, perhaps weighed down by one too many Swiss cake rolls, Big Baby could not elevate, and a blooper reel highlight was born.
That's not all that was born, though. Whereas the lead-up to the dunk filled my heart with ennui, afterward I was smitten, and a newfound desire took hold in my heart.
Be my Valentine, Big Baby dunk fail, and I will make you as happy as you have made me.
