Well, this is a first. The fairly low profile Friday night Kentucky-Jackson State basketball game gave us an unexpected laugh-out-loud moment. Basketball players lose their shoes often, but have you ever seen a shoeless player use said shoe as a weapon in a shot-blocking attempt? Well, now you have. Canoville picked up his shoe and trailed Garrison as he drove to the hoop, looking for a quick bucket on the other end. Garrison had a clear path to the basket; there was nothing Canoville could do to keep up.
As Garrison launched for an easy dunk, Canoville chucked his sneaker at Garrison's backside. The unexpected shoe launch didn't interrupt the basket, but Garrison clearly didn't know what hit him.
That's a new defensive tactic. He graduated from Michigan State University before receiving a master's in sports journalism from St. Bonaventure University. Outside of work, he's probably binging the latest Netflix documentary, at a yoga studio or enjoying everything Detroit sports. A lifelong Michigander, he lives in suburban Detroit with his wife, young son and their personal petting zoo of two cats and a dog.
