Jack ties shoelace during live play; Bulls watch, twiddle thumbs

By J.E. Skeets

Oh, this is gold.

Nearing the end of Saturday night's Raptors-Bulls' third quarter action, Raptors point guard Jarrett Jack(notes) held the ball at the top of the key. Noticing his shoelace was undone — Velcro, kids! Wear Velcro! — Jack tucked the rock under his arm while the clock continued to run, bent over and tied it back up.

Not a single Bulls player tried to steal or knock the ball away.

Guess which team lost by 32 points.

Not surprisingly, the Bulls' lack of effort (and wins, and scoring, and coaching ...) has pushed some diehard fans to the proverbial edge.

Sham of ShamSports.com:

"That [play] basically summed up the whole game. The Bulls played worse than any team has ever played in any game at any standard in any season of any decade in any league in any country of any sport ever. They were listless, talentless and overmatched, with the playbook of a Corleggy cheese [...]

It's the only time I've ever turned a game because I couldn't stand to watch it. Bad, bad, bad times. If you happen to own or run an NBA team and are looking to hire someone to work 80 hour weeks as a professional nerd, hire me. Because then I can stop supporting the Bulls."

To which I say: Try and look on the bright side of things, Sham; at least none of the Bulls players offered to tie Jack's laces for him.

Video fun below.

Yeah, I laughed my ass off. I was like "....really? like....fucking....really?"

If I was the coach I would have gone straight up Bobby Knight on all their asses, that shit is just pitiful.

...people in sports are seriously this dumb...?

Fundamentals in most sports are gone. The basics simply aren't there for the most part.

The football one REALLY confuses me, because if you look...he doesn't even move his head. He doesn't even look around to see what's going on.

The basketball one pisses me off more, but that's probably because I played varsity basketball all through high school so I took it pretty seriously for awhile and watching people do stupid shit like that irks me.

[Tsikura]

They said he fell asleep on ESPN.

They said he fell asleep on ESPN.

Lol if he actually DID fall asleep like...really...then kudos to him for being able to fucking sleep in that position, I have a hard enough sleeping the way most people do, let alone in that postion. ffs.

[Tsikura]

Yeah. He literally dozed off. Took some shut eye. Made some Z's

It was confirmed he was sleeping? I was under the impression he was awake.

[Tsikura]

It was confirmed he was sleeping? I was under the impression he was awake.

He himself said "I don't remember what happened and I'm more surprised I wasn't touched"

[Chart]

Yeah I would have touched him pretty bad.

[Drooid]

That's fucked up lol. I still have no idea how the fuck someone could fall asleep in that position and stay up.

I'm also surprised he wasn't knocked the fuck over, even by his own teammates. If I saw his dumbass still sitting there I would have knocked him upside his fucking head lol.

[Zaxs]

So does anyone know how much that guy gets paid?

[Chart]

More than me, that's for sure.

[Drooid]

Speaking of sports fails......
