Down by 5 with 15 seconds on the clock, the Seattle Storm, a professional basketball team, held onto the ball and simply let the time run off the clock

Okay, this is inexcusable right here. I don't care what level of basketball we're playing, or whether it's boys or girls, or even if we're out there in wheelchairs — I hate this play, and it actually makes me embarrassed to be a basketball player.

Here's what happened: Down by just five points on Sunday, with 15 seconds remaining in the game, the Seattle Storm, a professional basketball team, rebounded the ball off of a free throw and then made absolutely no attempt to get back in the game.

Kids, here's what not to do, ever, in the game of basketball. And if you do, you're running so many sprints at practice your legs are going to feel like microwaved spaghetti for the rest of the week.

So take notes:

 

 

 

Seriously some of the worst basketball I've ever seen in my life. Like, throw up a shot at least — but nothing? Any basketball player on earth knows to throw up a shot there, preferably early.

And y'all wonder why nobody watches women's basketball.

A little salt in the wound here: Seattle was up 85-81 with three and a half remaining.

OUCH!
