re: What is your most embarrassing sports moment?

I hit a home run my Junior year and tripped over 1st base. It was bad..busted my face all up. It was on YouTube for a few years


Looked a lot like this



Wouldn't call it "sports" but I also had my swimsuit get pulled off while tubing. Bunch of girls on the boat and one of them I had a huge crush on. It was April and the water was fricking freezing.

Yeah that sucked

i cant take all the credit, the water bottle did most of the work

One time I struck out twice in the same inning.

Playing Holy Cross and getting trucked by the QB who weighed 20 pounds less than me.

Middle School track. My coach fancied me a sprinter. In the 100m, pistol goes off, textbook start out of the blocks, after about four strides I look up to see nothing but backs. The backs steadily got further away, and I finished dead last. Someone in the stands was yelling, "Run, white boy, run." No more sprints for me.

But my favorite was in Jr. High. We had the football coach for PE. He just wanted us to sit outside at the covered picnic tables. I was bored, so I raised my hand and said, "coach" can I run a lap.

He let me go run it.

When I came back he said, good lap! Now, why doesn't EVERYONE run a lap?

So I made my whole class do laps. Hahahaha.

I am proud of that to this day.

I don't remember what soccer tournament it was but we were in the finals against the same team we always faced and always lost too. It was tied 1-1 with like 5mins left. We won a corner and I was sitting on the edge of the box far post, just in case it popped out. Well the corner gets sent in and it was near post. Goalie and everyone attack it. Goalie just gets his hand on it pushing it over everyone's head but sends its straight to me. Goalie is on the ground and everyone is bunched up near post. I'm the only one far post and the goal is wide open. The ball starts rolling to me in slow motion. I start thinking omg when I score this we will win. We will finally beat them and win this cup. And I'll be the one that did it!

I start to position myself, take a step a and rip the shot. COMPLETLEY WHIFFED. I didn't just miss the wide open goal. I missed the ball! I was able to get the ball back but not my dignity. At the end of regulation, few minutes later, I got subbed. Coach brought fresh legs to take my spot in ET and I didn't play for the rest of the game. Pretty sure we ended up losing too. I don't remember much after that miss except for replaying it in my mind a billion times

My Freshman year we were up 24-1 in the 2nd inning of a baseball game. We are in the dugout clowning and having a good ol' time when one of the Seniors yells,"Knock it off, they may come back and win!". We all got quiet and then everyone busted out laughing. By the end of the third we were down 27-24, and ended up losing 37-33. This was in high school baseball. After the initial onslaught my last four AB's were 0-4 with 4 K's.

Kerry Kittles lit me up for 60 points in an AAU tournament. When he exited the game I finally hit a three pointer to cut their lead....

to 79.

That team featured Kerry Kittles, Randy Livingston, and Scottie Thurman (who hit the game winning 3 over Duke to give Arkansas a national title in '94).

I remember Kittles kicking me in the chest (inadvertently) on an alley oop off the opening tip. I knew it was going to be a long night and realized how much different the speed of the game was with elite D1/NBA talent.

I got redemption in '99 when I had the opportunity to guard Allen Iverson when I was a featured extra for a commercial for the NBA on TNT (Allen Iverson's cross over dribbling camp). I got incredibly lucky by sticking my hand in and knocking the ball away from him while getting some B roll footage. I stole the ball and was on a 2 on 1 fast break (with another actor) and I threw the ball behind my back, hit him in the chest, as the ball went out of bounds. The next several possessions Iverson, totally, and I mean completely kicked my arse.
