With the game decided, and the SJAM supporters chanting "We Want Miki", SJAM's reserve guard came off the bench (faking like he was going back to the bench before "officially" checking in), then promptly injured his ankle.
....but, he fought through it, and then this happened:

It was a fun moment for one of the more memorable bench players in the WCSSAA league. Maslenjak was extremely engaged in the contest (his team's biggest cheerleader), and was worth watching on the sidelines alone for his variety of celebratory hand-shakes, high-fives, towel waving and his reactions to 'Lander plays:

The crowd reaction to his shot was something that you'd almost see from a game-winner, with fans on the baseline actually coming out onto the court several feet to celebrate.It was an amazing scene, and fun to be a part of.
Of course, the reaction didn't end there. Cue up the Twitter feed for some of these gems:

What were the Vegas odds of @hoopstarscanada mentioning Miki as many times as Nedim in his #WCSSAAFinals tweets?
