Man. Where is air traffic control when you need them? Sure could’ve used them at the Mavericks game on Tuesday night.
We’ve seen some pretty weird delays in the NBA before. There have been roof leaks, protests, beverage spills and more. Things happen. That just is what it is.
But I don’t think I’ve ever seen a paper airplane crash land on an NBA floor to cause a delay. That happened during the Mavericks-Clippers game.
Marcus Morris came down the floor with the ball with Dorian Finney-Smith guarding him. All of a sudden, NYEEEEERM. A paper airplane comes crashing to the floor.
Everybody stopped for a second so, of course, the game is delayed. It was a hilarious delay, also. And it happened just before halftime so this is almost certainly somebody playing defense for the Mavericks from the stands.

Granted, it wasn’t a long delay. It wasn’t even a timeout — a Mavs staffer just removed the plane and they kept playing. But that didn’t make it any less funny.
That was a pretty well-crafted paper airplane if I do say so myself. Here’s another angle. Just look at how sharp it is.

And for it to fly perfectly in between the two players like that? Nah. Whoever made that accomplished their mission. They didn’t need a clear runway to land that bird.
Fun stuff, Dallas. Fun stuff.
