KU basketball fan makes fun tribute video for Mitch Lightfoot
For the record, this video posted before Mitch Lightfoot’s big game Monday in Kansas’ 64-49 victory over K-State.
Lightfoot came off the bench and scored nine points, grabbed five rebounds and blocked three shots, punctuating one with a finger wave.
KU fans loved his gritty performance, which makes a fan video titled “No Easy Baskets” all the more timely.
Twitter user JayhawkTalk made the video, which is described simply as “A story of a boy named Mitch Lightfoot who had a big ol heart.”
Among the lyrics: “All of a sudden his hustle & his Hudy muscle stopped that midseason funk” and “his mouthguard chew has sex appeal.”
So, yeah, the video isn’t serious. It’s goofy, fun and unique.
