ESPN fail: A simple design decision gone awry

Last night’s NBA freshman-sophomore scrimmage was filled with playground-style dunks, fast break offense and sparse defense.  

Bounce pass alley-oops, off-the-glass jams and other plays you’d never see in a competitive basketball game. 

Yet it was this image that that ESPN chose as the splash card for their video highlights of the game:

Wizard’s point guard John Wall doing who-knows-what, trailed by a skeptical referee.

It’s the little things that make me crazy.

 

Here’s the actual video in case you were interested in watching and noting the disparity between this image and the actual video footage.
