So fast that Kaman hardly had time to break his fall.
“I landed on my head from about three feet in the air, and it hurt and I was dizzy a little bit,” Kaman said. “And then my vision was a little blurry for a little bit, then it slowly went away.
“And today I’ve been having a headache for the last two days, and my neck is killing me.”

The Dallas Mavericks were called for a technical foul right before halftime of Tuesday night's game against the Portland Trail Blazers for playing with six men on the court at the same time instead of five.
To top things off, the Blazers came back from a 21-point deficit to beat the Mavs 106-104 on a game ending buzzer-beater, so not a good night for the Mavericks.
