That doesn’t make the missed shot any less hilarious.

In the fourth quarter of Tuesday night’s game between the Suns and the Bucks in Milwaukee, Thomas tried for a pull-up jumper on Bayless. The Bucks guard had been tracking Thomas with his right hand the whole possession, and it looked as though Phoenix’s sparkplug thought he could draw a foul by pulling through with a hand extended over him.
It didn’t work, although under close examination of the video it looks as though Bayless got away with putting a hand on Thomas’ shooting elbow.
The result was a shot that looped harmlessly off the pole connecting the shot clock to the backboard.
Phoenix beat Milwaukee 102-96.
