Watch: Notre Dame coach’s son misses open dunk on fast break off steal

Oops.

Maybe Jaden Ivey, son of Notre Dame coach [autotag]Niele Ivey[/autotag], should sit out whenever he faces the Chicago Bulls from now on. That’s because seemingly every time he does, an embarrassing moment happens.

Last season as a rookie, Ivey called a timeout when his Detroit Pistons didn’t have any left, and the Bulls pulled out a close win. When the teams met in Detroit again Saturday, he knocked away a pass and had nothing but the basket in front of him. The only problem was he didn’t finish his dunk, and the result was pure humiliation:

The night wasn’t all bad for Ivey though. He beat the third-quarter buzzer with a 3-pointer:

That 3 accounted for nearly half of the seven points he scored in a 118-102 Pistons win. So although the missed dunk didn’t impact the game, it still should make the next edition of Shaqtin’ a Fool.

Now in his second season, Ivey is coming off making the NBA All-Rookie Second Team after averaging 16.3 points and 5.2 assists a game. This year, he has come off the bench during his first three contests. In that time, he has a scoring average of 9.7 and an assists average of 3.3.
