[Highlight] V.J. Edgecombe leaps into the crowd to save the ball and accidentally hits a woman in the face with his shoes
Kristen took it like a champ
Heather, Becky, Beth, Melissa.
edit- oh her name is actually Kristen. Lol. I thought we were guessing her name. My b
Nah her name was really Kristen, the announcers asked her
Ok lmao. After I was like ya know she really does look like a Kristen.
you rac… oh nvm we had her name already
She’ll have a shiner to show for it for sure.
Totally worth it though!
She was happy as fuck
Mike Tirico came back from the commercial break with an entire backstory and complete lore on her too lmao
The guy could sell a ketchup popsicle to a woman in white gloves
Lmfao
I was sitting right behind this. Mike got the download from the lady and the sixers fan within like 60 seconds, he’s a pro
She seemed really chill about it too.
And the apology

VJ is so damn likeable
Seriously. You guys got one hell of a player.
Love his game. Like a nicer Jimmy Butler.
I’ve only known VJ for a few months, but if something happened to him…
He really is. I’m a fan of the kid. And this is coming from a Knicks fan.
Same!
VJ is the man. Rooting so hard for him.
she got a long hug too
im jealous
Brandon Ingram watching this
Sixers fans just got a legendary react gif
that Boston fan said fine, I won’t use racial slurs the rest of tonight
Kristin’s going to have a great story in work tomorrow.
Oh she’s about to have her 15 seconds of fame lol
and a shiner
she tanked it like a champ, i would’ve been rolling around on the floor giving an oscar performance trying to get a bag
my neck and my back!
Oh my nose!
lmao excellent reference
Doctor said I need a Backiotomy
Ben Simmons, is that u
same.
damn she was already bruising up
That was a good kick to the face lmao
There’s a non-negligible chance that she could have a fracture or even a break. Your body recognizes that it’s in pain before you become consciously aware of it yourself due to adrenaline
Being a good sport is commendable, but she should probably get checked out. That accidental kick was pretty nasty
A night of Ice and she’s fine
Dude is acting like she got hit with a roundhouse by an mma fighter. She’ll be fine.
It’s OK, she’s being looked at by a Celtic doctor and not a Sixer one.
Lmao
That’s Kristen! Put some respect on her name!
who tf is Kristen
Her
…..her?
Is she funny or something?
No, she is Kristen!
She sometimes sits courtside at a basketball game, and she’ll get kicked by a player in the face, and then she’ll take a pack of ice and… mmm! She calls it a “footface”.
do we ship it?
GIF
“with his shoes” is an interesting way to say foot to the goddamn face
“Kick” is the word youre both looking for.
I legit expected him to take his shoes off and swing them around or something. Weird wording for sure. Haha
kristen gotta call jason stone injury lawyers tomorrow
“If you were inadvertently kicked in the face by an NBA player, you may be entitled to compensation.”
they lady might have a fracture lol. that looked bad.
Completely overshadowed how stoked that sixers fan was
She’s sitting courtside in a Celtics game. She’s got 💰so no problem
Put some respect on Kristen’s name
Ok all things aside this is just an incredible play and he actually won the possession.
Yep, looks like pritchard touched it last, it was so unexpected
Houser…not Pritch
“hitting a woman in the face with shoes” is a fancy way to say (accidentally) kicked lol. She took it like a champ
A kick is an action and usually intentional or deliberate. I personally think the description is spot on.
I think “accidentally kicked a woman” would be way more normal than “accidentally hit a woman in the face with his shoes”
Every man on a date in the nosebleed sections: see honey that’s why we sat up here. All about safety
damn, everybody was kung fu fighting.. lady took it well tho
NBA PR: you accepted the apology therefore we have no liability
He did save it tho 👍
I know that they gotta sell those court side tickets, but it’s so dumb how close the crowd is to the court
She’s about to get paid!!!!!
What a lucky lady.
Imagine paying 10 grand to get kicked in the face. Took it like a champ though.
This is like sitting in the splash zone when shamu comes to town
Also called being kicked in the face
Hell of a roundhouse kick
No sold that headshot
She took it well. This why I would never sit courtside, regardless of financial status. I once sat a few rows behind a team bench for a game and would not feel comfortable being closer.
She’s got a story to tell at work tomorrow. It would be great if she was a teacher or worked with kids somehow. She’d be the talk of the school.
Flagrant 3
“Hits a woman with his shoes” vs “kicks”
Why don’t they give her a bag of ice
Meh, not a big deal, just a Celitcs fan
Learning from his mentor Embiid to harm innocents
Embiid would’ve flopped to the floor and drawn a foul from her.
