Ivica Zubac curiously launched a full court shot for absolutely no reason, and it almost connected

You know that feeling you get in your stomach when you watch someone do something that you know they absolutely should not be doing?

That is exactly how everyone felt when they watched L.A. Clippers big man Ivica Zubac curiously launch a heave from 73 feet with more than eight seconds left in the half while playing against the Thunder on Tuesday night.

Your eyebrows intrinsically raise as you can’t help but wonder what the heck you just witnessed. It was obviously nothing more than an accident, but boy does it make your brain feel funny when you see it happen:

Zubac ended the game with a career-high seven blocks during the loss against Oklahoma City. He is in the midst of a fantastic start to the season thus far for the Clippers.

That streak would have looked even better if his bizarre heave connected.

The Clippers currently have the second-worst offensive rating in the NBA, and while this is an anomaly and not emblematic of that problem, it is still just such a strange thing that happened.
