Disgusting or crafty? You make the call on Ron Baker’s latest viral video
Ron Baker has gone viral once again.
The former Wichita State basketball star and current New York Knicks guard made the rounds on NBA Twitter on Monday night when cameras captured Baker using his own saliva as saline solution to put his contact lens back in during overtime of the Knicks’ 124-121 preseason victory over the Washington Wizards.
The scene drew a wide range of reactions on Twitter.
Baker’s contact lens was dislodged on a foul with 53 seconds left in overtime with the Knicks leading by two, 120-118. After popping the contact lens back in, Baker returned to the free throw line and made both shots to extend the lead.
After the game, Baker even responded to the attention his move was receiving.
Some might think it was a crafty move, others could think it was disgusting. At least it was a better moment than the last time Baker went viral when Anthony Davis gave him a black eye en route to a dunk over Baker.
