Playing indoor sports isn’t all it’s cracked up to be

On days like today where it’s absolutely freezing outside, we wouldn’t mind playing our sports indoors, seeing as it might not be so cold.

However, it’s not all good news as Boise State guard Derrick Marks found out to his chagrin when he found that the floor was a bit too slippery for him to get up against San Diego this past Wednesday.

He does well to drive to the basket and float the ball in, but as he slides out of bounds, he simply can’t get back to his feet, no matter how hard he tries. After his third failed attempt, he blames his shoes, like all of us would.

Thankfully, right at the end of the video someone pops in to mop up where he was and re-slipify it, just in case anyone else wanted to try and get back to their feet in that area either.

Hat-tip to Bleacher Report for the vid
