Written by Brandon Stroud / 11.14.12

I don’t know why this exists, but it’s a clip of a Belgian basketball player deciding to shoot on his own goal over and over, missing every single shot until somebody runs over and stops him. It’s like a surrealist painting in basketball clip form, and for the record, this is exactly what I look like when making lay-ups on any goal. (via Cosby Sweaters)
