One of the NBA referees covering the Magic-Thunder Christmas day game may have overestimated his own basketball skills just a bit. After a Magic basket in the fourth quarter, Thunder forward Nick Collison was waiting under the basket to inbound the ball. The referee tried to pass it behind his back to Collison, but it came nowhere close as it ended up in the first row of the stands.
The Thunder had a 19 point lead at the time on their way to a 97-89 win, so maybe the ref was just bored and tried to shake things up a bit. He should leave the fancy passing to the professionals.
