Brook Lopez deflects an assist with his head

Brook Lopez totally did this on purpose, right?

I mean, the ball went right to Bojan Bogdanovic (h/t to Zach Harper of CBS Sports).

It's not like we haven't seen headers used successfully in the NBA before. Hey, Steve Nash. You're setting trends now.

OK, so maybe that was the dunk contest. And maybe it was planned before. And maybe in Lopez's case, the Nets center wasnt even looking when a pass ricocheted off the back of his head. But so what? Let's just pretend it's intentional and move on.
