During a stoppage in play in last night’s exciting game between Indiana’s second team and the league-worst Bucks, Milwaukee center Zaza Pachulia reached out to septuagenarian referee Dick Bavetta for some help to his feet.

The 74-year-old Bavetta recently officiated his 2,633rd consecutive regular season game, besting Cal Ripken Jr.‘s consecutive games mark in MLB, so we can understand his reluctance to pull the 6-11, 240-pound center to his feet.
