The UK: Where Basketball Rims Attack

Life can change in the blink of an eye. One minute you’re shooting hoops with your buddies, the next you’re wearing the rim like a championship net and laying on the ground with blood leaking from your head. Yeah that’s life… If your 13-year-old Adam Duff of the UK.

Adam Duff injured after rim fell on his head

Duff’s mom explained her son’s BS story injury to the Gazette Live:

“He was there playing basketball with his nephews and a couple of mates, like they do most days after school.

“One of them shot the ball up and as it’s come down through the hoop, Adam’s gone to catch it. As he’s jumped up, the ball has hit the hoop and it’s all come down on him.

“It fell on his head, he fell to the ground and his nephews ran to get me.

“It split the back of his head open – the blood was unreal.”

Was Dwight Howard working on his free throws with some kids in England? If one shot was able to knock down the rim then the kids knew the rim was in bad shape and shouldn’t have been messing with it. What really happened is they were swinging on the rim, it broke, and Duff busted his head. The mom is considering legal action but this weak story’s not gonna hold up in court.
