    I think that this is the biggest fail in basketball among all the fails we've seen through years.

    Dude scored in his own basket forcing overtime, where his team eventually lost the game in double-OT and got eliminated from Greek League playoffs

    Do you get sent to Iran if you screw up in the Greek League?

    That was a sweet assist by the PG. Who ****ing gets a rebound at half court and then attacks your own basket?

    It took two guys to make this happen. 'Marshall' just scored the basket. Why did the guard drive to the wrong basket in the first place?

    #14 is just looking at him go by like "what are you doing?"

    It is not just one player. At least two dudes are involved. Amazing!

    Must be paid off, the PG was not at fault, he was trying not to get fouled..that was just insane.

    It's because they were missing Giannis Antenamutombompolondomukambakounmpo

    How do you even score that play? There was no one on the other team you could possibly give that score to since the white jerseys had the ball ever since the rebound.

    If it were me I'd just deduct two points from the guy who scored it who may well have been on the take. He'll deduct an assist from the PG too just for the sake of the rarity of the event.

    You're right. At first glance, it looked like he was driving to the basket, but he was hopping mad when Marshall scored the ball.

    Looks super shady, I mean who's ever heard of corruption in Greece? And I am getting a headache just looking at that court and all the "colorful" signage, too much!

    No wonder Vassilis Spanoulis is the T-Mac of Greece.

    I had trouble watching that. Epic fails with so much post-guilt involved give me anxiety. I know the embarrassment is coming, but it's still very difficult watching this stuff.

    Some guys will NEVER live their basketball mistakes down. Ever. I mean, I can name one recent Rocket who may never live down the errors he made in the post-season, arguably destroying the Rockets' chances to advance. :)

    Thanks for posting though. This is good to show to teams/players about decision-making/awareness and general sentiments of WTF.
