This Italian Player Made Quite Possibly The Worst Decision In The History Of Basketball To Set Up A Full-Court Buzzer Beater By The Other Team

Every player on this court is a moron. Not a basketball IQ above 70 in the bunch.

Italy forces a turnover to get the ball back up three points with less than 10 seconds left and nobody on Turkey is even trying to foul. You just watched them miss a free throw, but now you're throwing in the towel in a one-possession game? I don't understand how there isn't one player screaming for someone to foul. Do something.

Maybe Turkey had some sort of ESP, though, because not to be outdone, Italy kicks it out to the dumbest basketball player to ever live who heaves a three from the wing with five seconds left — moments after missing a free throw that would have iced the game. Can't have a stat padder out there in crunch time, coach. Shockingly, the worst decision maker on the court isn't a knockdown shooter and his miss turns into an 85-foot buzzer beater to tie the game.

Just an all-time Not Him moment from No. 0 on Italy. Unfortunately, the full-court shot was as much cosmic justice as we'd get for the decision to launch that shot because Italy would win by a point in overtime. But I hope this guy learned a valuable lesson.

But make your free throws and none of that sequence ever happens. Remember that, kids.
