Let’s all take a moment of silence for Harrison Barnes, who nearly ethered himself, along with future generations of the Barnes family lineage, while trying to guard Courtney Lee in Game 5 Wednesday at Oracle Arena. The Golden State Warriors might have won a pivotal matchup against the Memphis Grizzlies in the Western Conference semifinals, but at what cost?
Barnes is going to need to do some serious meditating to find his center after this, so why not take a lesson from the master of impossible leg contortions himself, Jean Claude Van Damme?

Or perhaps a fellow athlete can show him the way?
Oh no wait, the Warriors training staff has got him covered.
