Philadelphia 76ers center Andre Drummond wasted no time making his presence felt in Tuesday's NBA game in Minnesota, and not necessarily in a good way, when he committed a personal foul on the opening tip.
Drummond lined up against T-Wolves center Naz Reid for the tip-off to start the game. As referee John Tiven tossed the ball up in the air, Drummond grabbed Reid's arm and pulled it down to gain the unfair advantage and tip the ball to a teammate.

Fortunately, as everyone could see the blatant grab by Drummond, the officials called the personal foul before a single second ticked off the clock. Obviously Drummond was committed to the T-Wolves getting the ball first, but this was a bit over the top. We can honestly say we have never seen this before, and we would not expect to see this again for a long time.
Although Drummond is a two-time NBA All-Star, but he has had a few Shaqtin' moments over the years.
Drummond finished with 4 points and 7 rebounds in 19 minutes as the T-Wolves beat the Sixers 126-112.
