Harrison Barnes briefly freaks out fans

Posted Aug 24, 2011
If you click to the 47-second mark -- don't worry, you'll only miss a layup by John Henson -- you'll see Barnes halfheartedly chase down a loose ball, get tripped by an opponent and fall to the ground for a few seconds of playing dead. Barnes is obviously hamming it up almost from the moment he falls down, but the sheer fact that he did fall -- if only for a split second -- got an ever-so-fleeting rise out of the assembled masses.
