    A kick in the seat of the pants.

    This young man has some serious hops, but the image seems to suggest he had a little help with his elevation from the kid behind him.

    I think what happened here is that the player in white had just lunched a jump shot and the player in black had jumped to defend, however he was late and did an acrobatic turn in the air to watch the flight of the ball and get into rebound position. At any rate it provided a rather unique image.

    My wife first pointed out to me how funny it looked. I had just gone past it not finding any action that I thought was interesting, the ball wasn't in the shot. She suggested that it looked like the one guy had kicked the other up in the air. I'm glad you liked it.
