He DUNKED The Rebounce With A Free Throw Left... 😳🏀

Credits: NBA, Locked On Pacers During a game involving Jarace Walker, Walker took the first of two free throws and missed. The ball bounced high off the rim, and he immediately sprinted in, grabbed the rebound, and dunked it. Players, coaches, commentators, and many fans initially thought he had committed a violation because a shooter normally cannot rebound their own missed free throw before someone else touches it. The confusion was amplified because a timeout had been called between the free throws, causing many people to forget that Walker had already attempted the first shot and that the play was actually live. What Walker realized—and almost nobody else did in the moment—was that the missed free throw was the final free throw of that particular sequence after the timeout interruption, meaning the ball was legally in play once it hit the rim. While everyone else was mentally treating it like the first of two free throws, Walker was the only person fully aware of the game situation. Instead of standing still like everyone expected, he reacted instantly, secured the rebound, and dunked it for two points. What looked like a blatant rules mistake turned out to be a rare example of a player paying closer attention to the game state than virtually everyone else in the arena. . . .
