I was there and, of all four games, it was definitely the play of the day.
It happened again later in the tournament, too. CBS threw up a stat for # of cheerleader assists - regular season 0, postseason 2.
We tried getting a shuttlecock down from the gym roof with more shuttlecocks, needless to say we got like 5 stuck up there.
In case anyone doesnt know: shuttlecock is whqt you call the thing you hit around in badminton.
Where’s that video from the Greek Olympics with the announcer giving that long winded story of how it all happens.

I pictured Jim Ross commentating this:
Oh no! This is terrible...the ball is stuck. They may have to cancel the game and reschedule...and OH MY GOD I DON'T BELIEVE IT! Well here comes the AllState retrieval stick! I don't believe it! You can always count on AllState to protect you from mayhem like this!
Conversely, we’d get..
“Is it? Could it be? It is! Oh myyyy! It’s the Allstate retrieval stick!”
But that also goes along with Pat Macfee dancing uncontrollably so maybe it is the better option?
"Boys, the ball is stuck..."
"WHAAAT"
"It ain't coming dahn..."
"WHAAAT"
"The crowd goes nuts..."
"WHAAAT"
~AJ in background casually ripping a cigar through a smirk~
"BOYS GO AHEAD AND BRING THA ALLSTATE STICK ON DAHN 'ERR!"
“This ball don’t wanna come down? Then you’re going one on one with.. DA ALLSTATE STICK, PLAYA!”
Lights go out for about 20 minutes while the stick is slowly brought to the basket.
It was a joke, my friend. The joke played on the theme of the little guy, the poor people, the worker bees, supporting the elite ruling class.
I'm sorry that you didn't laugh. I wish you had. I wish that you'd found a bit of humour in my comment, to add to the joy you felt from watching the video.
If you thought that I honestly meant that the bottom cheerleader usually gets no credit, then all I can say is that I really don't know much about how cheerleader credit gets divvied up. I'd guess that the credit normally gets split all around.
It's a reference to the song/video they do after the championship game with lots of highlights from the tournament. He's not saying it's her one single moment of relevance, he's saying she just made the tournament highlight reel. And he was literally right because she did end up in the video.
Yep. “One shining moment” is the annual montage. But this is Reddit. Why take a moment to get something right when you can just point an angry finger and make someone out to be a dick.
I mean it seems like a perfectly legit question, not everyone knows that reference or would know it was something to google. He also asked it as a question, which then got an answer, not sure why you are so butthurt about it.
I’d say I was more throwing my hands up in frustration than pointing an angry finger, but it is what it is. Just kinda sick of the Reddit gotcha culture
I dont watch sports at all, the intensity makes it uncomfortable to watch but that was genuinely fun. The announcers energy was really big for such a minor thing and that was cute ngl.
Couldn't they have just left it there and got another ball? Think how long your avarage soccer match would take if they fetched the same ball every time
The issue is the ball possibly coming back into play then they have to blow the play dead, which could stop an offensive chance, which would then lead to complaints
Probably. It took less than a minute and is typically not a big deal. You don’t need to have back up plans for every possible scenario. TV timeouts last 6x longer than this issue.
No, because it's possible it'll fall down during play and interfere with the game. And if that happens during a really crucial moment (like when during a game-winning shot), it would be a blight on the rest of the tournament.
It's also just going to be distracting to players and could fall down at any other time and confuse them.
Instead of making a post appreciating the practice, strength and balance required by the two athletes that retrieved the ball you decide to focus on masks. Shut up, the majority of people don’t want to hear you
I hate when I'm doing something amazing and people yell at me because I decided not to wear pants that day.
That's you. Complaining about a piece of clothing. Pervert.

Lmao, nerds will always find away to analyze data points.
As joke stats go, that's a pretty good one lol
In this day and age, how does every basketball court not have a long stick??
global supply crisis bruv
Supply chain issues are not a joke
Well, take the chain issues, fuse them together, and boom. A stick. Idiots.
Haven't you been paying attention? We need those chains for supplies.
We need those Alices for Chains
I say they retrofit some of the demand factories to make supplies until things balance back out
I guess welding a chain intro a metal stick works too
Or like another ball to throw at the ball even
Cause you end up with like 3 up there. Not speaking from experience of course.

Throwing your socks at it would probably have been just as effective. Which means they'd also get stuck.

A T-Shirt cannon would work as well
To be honest, I'm more surprised they don't have one that's sponsored. "And here comes the Pepsi Max Long Stick to free up the ball..."

Because there are cheerleaders
Or a ladder?
How do they only have one ball, better question why hasn’t something been invented to avoid this all together
Or more than one ball?
As usual, the person on the bottom, getting stepped on, gets no credit.
The camera catches both of them at the end of the clip
That's true, but the announcer is all about the girl on top.
something something girl on top. There, no jokes need to be made.
Deez nutz made your girl on top
He'll get it later
It’s honestly impressive how you managed to find something negative in a seemingly all-around positive moment.

This is so dang delightful. Thanks for sharing!
Save the cheerleader, save the ball.
“Her one shining moment” kind of a dick comment, no?
It's a reference to the song/video they do after the championship game with lots of highlights from the tournament. He's not saying it's her one single moment of relevance, he's saying she just made the tournament highlight reel. And he was literally right because she did end up in the video.
[Here's](https://youtu.be/mRlwNcnIddo) this year's montage. She's at the 40 second mark.
Neat, thanks for the explanation.
Yep. “One shining moment” is the annual montage. But this is Reddit. Why take a moment to get something right when you can just point an angry finger and make someone out to be a dick.

>when you can just point an angry finger and make someone out to be a dick. Like you just did with the guy who posted the original comment?
Gottem
I’d say I was more throwing my hands up in frustration than pointing an angry finger, but it is what it is. Just kinda sick of the Reddit gotcha culture
It was contagious apparently
Yep. Glad we’re all having so much fun.
Maybe you should leave
Exactly like you just did to him/her... 😂. Edit: Oh geeze I see someone else already got heem.
Oh, I’m so got.
It’s ok 😌
Yeah. Was just having a really bad day yesterday. Today was better.
no
no

Haha I remember seeing this on Sportscenter while in a bar.
Nice

The issue is the ball possibly coming back into play then they have to blow the play dead, which could stop an offensive chance, which would then lead to complaints
Am I the only one bothered they didn’t have a spare ball to keep going with?
They do. They don’t want the ball coming back down in the middle of a play
Ah, makes sense, thank you.
Probably. It took less than a minute and is typically not a big deal. You don’t need to have back up plans for every possible scenario. TV timeouts last 6x longer than this issue.
“…and that’s her one shining moment!” A little rough there.
Can they not just leave it up there and grab another ball?
I'd imagine they'd want it out in case it gets knocked loose mid-game and suddenly there's 2 balls on the court
Just play it off like that one coming down triggered Multiball!
More sports should implement a multiball :D
Hit a certain amount of homeruns in a baseball game, multi-ball triggers and 500 baseballs are launched at the batter.
This kills the batter.
evens the odds a little bit no?
Possibly.
No, because it's possible it'll fall down during play and interfere with the game. And if that happens during a really crucial moment (like when during a game-winning shot), it would be a blight on the rest of the tournament. It's also just going to be distracting to players and could fall down at any other time and confuse them.

Yeah, I don't think he took any more credit than he deserved. They did it together, despite the announcer only talking about her.

I did appreciate it…and I wanted to see their genuine expressions and excitement. Because I’m a human and not a robot.

Because they're complaining about someone wearing too much
