He fell on this one. It looked like it hurt. I found a video of him on YouTube falling at an NBA game. Someone in the comments claiming to be his sister-in-law says it is part of the act. I wouldn&#8217;t have believed that then, but he does manage to catch the wire with both hands, so maybe so. If it is part of the act it works for the crowd. He gets up, grimaces, points and climbs back up to nail the flip on his second attempt.<\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kennysmith.org\/photo\/jan11\/jan34.jpg\" alt=\"Greenleaf\" \/><\/center><\/p>\n<p>Jordan Greenleaf had 14 points for the Tigers.<\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kennysmith.org\/photo\/jan11\/jan35.jpg\" alt=\"Smalley\" \/><\/center><\/p>\n<p>Alli Smalley led Auburn &#8212; along with Morgan Toles &#8212; with 13 points.<\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kennysmith.org\/photo\/jan11\/jan36.jpg\" alt=\"Johnson\" \/><\/center><\/p>\n<p>But it wasn&#8217;t enough.
