Watch this OSU basketball player illegally block a dunk with his head
Life comes at you fast -- especially when a large college basketball player is barreling toward you, indending to dunk all over your dome. If you don't think quickly, you're going to get run over.
For Oklahoma State men's basketball player Anthony Allen Jr., that meant just one possible response in the face of Iowa State's Jameel McKay coming down the lane: Let the ball go through the rim, then literally headbutt it back out of the basket.
It was a nice way to save face for the Cowboys, who had previously been the victims of this nasty dunk from Cyclones forward Abdel Nader:
Technically, Iowa State should have been credited with buckets on both of those possessions, but the officials missed the basket interference by Allen Jr. In the officials' defense, you don't really expect to watch a guy block a shot with the top of his dome. And Iowa State escaped with the victory anyway, so no harm, no foul.
