Look, it's tough to argue with the greatness of that father/son moment. That kid won't soon forget having an entire arena full of people cheer him on and start an 'MVP' chant on his behalf after he summoned the skills he's honed climbing every tree in the neighborhood to do what a near 7-footer with a stick was incapable of. If you found something wrong with this scene then someone needs to change your adult diaper because your stick is getting mighty close to stuck in the mud. That is, unless you are the person that would have undoubtedly lost their job if Young Tarzan had the climbing skills of Jane. You know there was at least one completely oblivious security guard that turned around to see a child hovering behind the backboard and had to hold his breathe until he made it down safely. There's a reason that we have never seen something like that before and it's because liability is the ultimate deterrent to fun. In reality, a stable child with multiple grown men acting as his safety net was never in all that much danger, but I wouldn't try telling that to the guy whose sole purpose is to keep the fans in the stands. He was probably just coming back from a pee break and was still about ready to wet himself when he saw what probably looked to be the clock getting ready to strike midnight on his employment.
