When I was assigned a writing assignment for the Toronto Raptors and Miami Heat, I was expecting to recap a basketball game. However, I bring to you the main card: Christian Koloko, and punching above his weight class (literally), Caleb Martin.
Even before the altercation, the game — which the Heat were winning handily — had become all kinds of chippy, but it peaked when Koloko found himself underneath a towering Caleb Martin after getting up jockeying for rebounding position. As Koloko began to stand up, Martin channelled his inner Xavien Howard and pile-drived Koloko into the first row, nearly breaking the camera man’s camera and clearing the Heat bench.
