I’ve played basketball since I was about five-years old.
In the process I’ve twisted an ankle. I’ve torn my knees up. I’ve had ligament issues. But never have I ever had my teeth stuck in the net.
That’s not something Kentucky basketball player Alex Poythress can say today, because during yesterday’s tilt, Poythress got his tooth lodged in the net.
I probably don’t need to tell you that such an event looks rather painful, but if you’re into that kind of thing…

It all took place as the college basketball player was going up to finish an ally-oop dunk as you can watch here:
