The term "ankle-breaker" gets thrown around a lot. Most of the time, it's justified. Sometimes, though, it's a bit of an exaggeration. In the above video, there is no debate necessary. This poor kid's ankles were crossed over, waived the white flag and laid to rest with each dribble by the guy he was guarding.
After the first break, homie's ankles were just trying to catch this L in peace but his body wasn't getting the message. When the message wasn't coming across clear enough, dude's ankles were trying to tell him to just lay down and let the embarrassment wash over, but once again, the body refused to quit. Eventually, after one last dive—yes, a literal dive—this guy finally gave up. But it was too little, too late because the damage was already done.
