Cleveland Cavaliers center Thomas Bryant learned a lesson about karma when he tripped over his own feet while taunting on an opposing player during Monday night's game against Charlotte.
It happened with just under 4:30 left in the first period after the 6'9" Bryant hit a 5-foot jumper while being defended by Hornets 6'6" guard Kon Kneuppel. Bryant dropped the "too small" taunt while heading down the court to play defense. Somehow, he lost track of his footing and tripped over himself, resulting in an embarrassing fall in the middle of the court. This led the Peacock NBA broadcast team to break out in hysterics.
Oh no, Thomas Bryant!

He scored over Kon Knueppel, hit the "too small" celebration on him, and proceeded to trip over his own feet on the way down the court ðŸ˜pic.twitter.com/IZUjH42oWO
This is not the first time that we have seen an embarrassing fall by an athlete cause a broadcast team to break out in hysterical laughter.
Bryant finished with 10 points in 20 minutes off the bench as the Cavs won the game 139-132. The victory will make it easier for Bryant to put this embarrassing moment behind him, but it will be memorialized on the Internet forever.
