Los Angeles Clippers youngster Brandon Boston Jr. was just minding his own business trying to tie his shoe while Denver Nuggets guard Davon Reed attempted a free throw. Boston was rudely interrupted mid-shoe tie by the ball careening right over to him, which at least gave him maybe the easiest rebound he'll ever get in his NBA career.

This is quite the comical sight, made even funnier by Boston calmly handing the ball off to Eric Bledsoe before resuming tying his shoe before running back down the court. It just had to get done!

Boston actually had himself a solid game against the Nuggets on Sunday, going for 18 points off the bench. Those 18 points tied Eric Bledsoe for a team high with so many key Clippers players out, including stars Kawhi Leonard and Paul George.

Unfortunately, LA wasn't able to pull out a shorthanded win. After a big third quarter, the Clippers' offense struggled in the fourth quarter, getting outscored 24-17 in a 103-100 loss. Boston had a chance to tie the game in the final seconds, but he missed a tough attempt from long range.

LA dropped to 17-16 with the defeat, though that's still good for fifth in the Western Conference. With the stars out (at least Marcus Morris and Reggie Jackson will be back soon), guys like Boston will continue to get an opportunity to shine … as long as he keeps those shoes tied.
