Former CFL player knees some poor kid in the face during slam dunk competition (VIDEO)
You know the saying “it felt like I got hit by a truck”?
A youngster by the name of Ismail Zaid certainly does.
Participating in a ‘Pros vs Joes’ event in Winnipeg, Ismail was helping out former CFL defensive lineman Jordan Reaves in the slam dunk contest.
The brother of Pittsburgh Penguins winger Ryan Reaves, Jordan was to jump over Ismail and throw down a dunk to the delight of the crowd.
