When the Dallas Mavericks qualified for the 2024 NBA Finals against the Boston Celtics, many believed the series would be exciting, with both teams performing at the same level. However, things didn’t turn out as anticipated. The Mavs suffered their third loss on Wednesday, upsetting their home crowd despite creating beautiful moments in the game while missing some easy shots.
During the second quarter, the franchise’s guard, Luka Doncic, assisted a flawless pass to teammate Dereck Lively II, who was near the rim and had a clear shot at turning it into a basket. But to everyone’s surprise, the 20-year-old attempted to dunk the ball, but it hit the rim and bounced back.
Soon, the video of the center missing this easy shot started surfacing online, and the NBA community went insane. Clutch Points posted the video on their X (FKA Twitter) handle with the caption, “Dereck Lively II couldn’t believe he missed the alley-oop.” Fans began pouring in their comments.
“Neither could we,” replied a fan.
While an astonished fan asked, “How did he miss that?”
