In a league featuring world-class athletes like the NBA, sometimes you forget how fast the game can come back the other way. That’s a vital lesson a Boston Celtics ball boy learned on Wednesday night.
As Boston worked on finishing off an eventual 139-96 blowout win over the Brooklyn Nets, forward Yuta Watanabe found himself with a wide-open lane in transition. Within NBA contexts, it was a perfectly normal play. There was just one problem: the said ball boy seemingly lost track of what was happening in the game and was caught in the middle of Watanabe’s drive.
