Facepalm: Basketball star announces he’s moving to the wrong university

They both begin with K, an easy mistake to make

Neil Treacy

Picture it.

You’re one of the most sought after highschool basketball players, with plenty of the biggest universities all looking for your signature.

After making your decision, you arrive, still just a wee teen, to a press conference, where you’re about to tell the whole country about your big move to the University of Kansas.

And then you go and spoil it all by saying something stupid like Kentucky…

Well that’s exactly what happened to 6ft 10 Cleveland kid Carlton Bragg, who accidentally declared he’ll be moving to Kentucky, while pulling a Kansas cap over his head.

He instantly realised his mistake, dropping his head into his hands in embarrassment, before sheepishly correcting his mistake.

It’s seriously cringeworthy stuff.
