Duke University standout Kon Knueppel, formerly of Wisconsin Lutheran High School, had a viral moment Monday as his strong freshman season roars on.

While the Nets tipped off Saturday night in Houston, the basketball world was looking elsewhere — at Tobacco Road, for Duke vs. North Carolina. They were watching the sport’s juiciest rivalry, a game that could produce five first-round picks — and the player most often mocked for the possibility that he will end up in Brooklyn.

Late in the second half of Duke's ACC contest versus the NC State Wolfpack, guard Tyrese Proctor began to fall out of bounds with the basketball in his hands. Knueppel's brain then proceeded to turn all the way up to 10 and, instead of waiting for a pass, he decided to grab his teammate's leg and pull back him onto the court.
