Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant was stuffed by the rim while playing in a celebrity basketball game before the Super Bowl.

With elite speed and leaping ability, Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant is one of the best athletes in all of sports. But one wouldn’t know that if they only saw the 26-year-old play in the Gridiron Celebrity Hoops XVII charity game in Phoenix, Arizona before the Super Bowl.

Bryant was stuffed by the rim on an easy fastbreak dunk attempt during the contest.

Take a look, via TMZ Sports, below:

Welp. That was pretty bad, to say the least. Unfortunately for Bryant, he would also miss a three-pointer and turn the ball over shortly thereafter, as the video show.

Still, Bryant wasn’t awful the entire day. Video from pre-game warmups show Bryant throwing down a couple dunks.

Those are some nice dunks, but the one he missed is surely all anyone will remember from this game. Rightfully so, because that was a brutal miss.

Good thing Bryant has a sport he’s pretty good at to fall back on.

The Cowboys drafted Bryant with the No. 24 pick of the 2010 NFL Draft. Bryant quickly emerged as one of the best at his position and just posted 88 catches for 1,320 yards and 16 touchdowns this past season.
