Boston Celtics hiked the ball through their legs after tip-off (Video)

Found February 10, 2012 on Larry Brown Sports: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Kevin Garnett,  Rajon Rondo
TEAMS: Boston Celtics

F1

If you saw the opening tipoff for the Celtics-Lakers game Thursday night, then the outcome may have felt like karma. After the Celtics won the tip, Kevin Garnett hiked the ball between his legs to Rajon Rondo, who then hiked the ball to himself. I don’t know if unconventional move was a nod to the Patriots players in attendance or what, but it was pretty funny. Probably would have been much cooler if they didn’t lose.

The Celtics start the game with a long snap (Video)

Via The Daily Rival  |  February 10, 2012
Hey, would you look at that. The Celtics just made football season last a little longer. Kevin Garnett long snaps the ball back to Rajon Rondo, who does a baby snap to himself. How whimsical! I figure this is the basketball equivalent to starting off your long, at-times-entertaining, but flaw-exposing speech with a punchy joke. Kudos, Ball Don’t Lie
