Who is the biggest star in this clip of a middle school basketball game, which reportedly shows a team suffering a crushing defeat as tragedy strikes on the last shot?
(Just to set the scene: According to the Sporting News, the team in black trailed by 1 but had the ball with seconds remaining. That’s when … well, we can all see what happened next. We can all see it.)
Anyway. In no particular order, we can have:
1. The kid who actually seems quite good at middle school basketball … until it all goes up in flames.
2. The entire team in white unis, some of whom literally jump for joy before apparently realizing “oh hold up is this cool or nah?”
3. Every single person who put his or her hands on their head:
4. The cheerleaders, who perhaps do not know what the appropriate reaction is to be honest, but at least their bow game is on point.
5. The poor coach (I think?) who can only pat the almost-hero on the back. Because honestly. What is this, even.
This is a trick question, because obviously the star is the rim, which is reminding everyone in this gymnasium of something that we should never, ever forget — middle school kinda stinks, guys.
