Watch: Harrison Barnes nearly drops Larry O’Brien trophy at UNC

This is why they pay Harrison Barnes the big bucks.

Golden State Warriors forward Harrison Barnes is back at his alma mater, North Carolina, for their football game against Delaware.

He and teammate James Michael McAdoo, who also attended UNC, were invited on to the field to present the Larry O’Brien Trophy they won this summer.

It almost took a tumble.

Harrison Barnes stuck out his left hand to make the save, then tapped his chest, acknowledging fault.

Then, he apologized to Mr. O’Brien afterwards.

My bad, Larry. That was close. http://t.co/wTA6g6AGyq
