Sometimes you can be so anxious and excited to score a couple of points in an NBA game that you can forget which basket is the one you want to actually put the ball in. The Milwaukee Bucks Larry Sanders missed most of last season, and during his hiatus he apparently forgot the rules of basketball as well. After a tie-up between Sanders and Philadelphia 76ers forward Malcolm Thomas during their game last night led to a jump ball in front of Milwaukee's hoop, Sanders had a brain cramp. After grabbing the loose ball, Sanders takes off toward the wrong hoop. He is halfway into his layup when a voice in his head must have yelled "YO CHILL BRUH TURN AROUND," and he corrects his faux pas before "scoring at the wrong basket" could become the top Google search term after typing in "Larry Sanders."

The crowd's reaction is priceless, as they let out a collection "OHHHHH NOOOOOOOO!" as if they just looked out the window of their house and saw Godzilla. But nothing can beat head coach Jason Kidd's reaction (above), which is a combination of pure terror and the depressing realization that he did indeed leave Brooklyn to coach the Milwaukee Bucks.
