Mason Plumlee nearly flattens small kid keeping ball inbounds

Mason Plumlee is a big man. A big, BIG man. Exactly how big? Six feet, 11 inches, and 235 pounds. On Saturday when Plumlee selflessly leaped out of bounds to save a play against the Charlotte Hornets, he nearly flattened a very, very small child. How small? Odds has it at under 95 pounds, soaking wet and holding a brick, and probably less than five feet tall.

So the face the little kid made after the harrowing experience is totally understandable.

CapturePlumlee made sure that the kid was OK before returning to play, and he was. The kid was lucky enough to only be grazed by the knee of the rampaging power forward.

Thank goodness because that could’ve been bad.

(Thanks to VICE Sports for spotting this.)
