Timofey Mozgov tried. He tried so, so hard. And he almost had it, too. He took flight, and in his head, we can only assume “I Believe I Can Fly” was playing, loudly, and on repeat. For a few seconds, he did fly. Then reality interrupted, reminded Mozgov of who he was, rudely, by having the rim viciously reject his dunk.
Don’t be discouraged, Mozzy. Continue to reach for the stars.
