Shabazz Muhammad is one of the many lottery picks Minnesota Timberwolves fans wouldn't want to talk about. The 14th overall pick in 2013, Muhammad would show flashes of brilliance on the offensive side of the ball. However, his measly defense cost him a spot on the team, and eventually, the league.
Despite that, Shabazz Muhammad is still playing pro basketball, currently suiting up for the San Miguel Beermen in the Philippines as an import. While he's been having a good season with his new team, the ex-Timberwolves guard found himself on NBA Twitter after this… attempt at a dunk (via @MVPhoenixSZN on Twitter)
This is a certified Shaqtin' a Fool moment from Muhammad, who seemed to have the air taken under him with his dunk attempt. NBA Twitter was quick to clown the ex-Timberwolves guard for this fail, as most fans are prone to do.
However, the former Timberwolves pick had the last laugh, as he led his team to a close win over their opponents. Muhammad led the way with a whopping 33-point, 21-rebound performance.
This abomination of a dunk attempt aside, it's nice to see Muhammad get his chance at action in other leagues. He's always shown that he was a talented scorer in Minnesota, especially during the early portion of his career. However, injuries, as well as an inability to play competent defense, became his downfall.
That being said… Minnesota fans are reminded of one painful possibility whenever they hear Muhammad's name. The 15th overall pick in that 2013 draft would be… Giannis Antetokounmpo, who's been one of the best players in the league and a legitimate candidate to be an all-time great.
