After The Expected Ass-Kicking, A Tunisian Player Had Kobe Bryant Autograph His Shoe [Video]

Jul 31, 2012 7:08 PM  

The U.S. overcame a slow start to thrash an unexpectedly tough-playing Tunisian team 110-63, which meant the usual courtesies extended to the losing side of handshakes, hugs, and the occasional picture. Tunisian forward Mohamed Hdidane—who surprised a lot of us with basketball we didn't expect from a Tunisian league player—took things a bit further, asking Kobe to autograph his shoe.

(He then put the shoe back on, and we're curious to see if he's still wearing it when Tunisia plays its next game.) [NBC SN]

The Tunisian Basketball Coach Slapped The Shit Out Of One Of His Players In The Huddle [Video]

Jul 31, 2012 6:35 PM  

As we told you earlier, the Tunisian men's basketball team were 54-point underdogs heading into their preliminary game against Team USA. The stress of facing such daunting odds may have gotten to Tunisia's coach (the bald man at the center of the video above), as he unleashed a vicious slap into the face of one of his players during the team's pregame huddle.

As far as slaps go, this one rates pretty high based on the deftness and efficiency with which it was executed. That's a decent amount of impact considering how little room there was for a proper windup.

You may suck at basketball, Tunisia, but your old people sure know how to throw a proper slap. Good job.
