Frank Kaminsky, Green Bay player bond over near posterization

Wisconsin star Frank Kaminsky narrowly avoided what would have been a surefire dunk-of-the-year candidate from Green Bay's Keifer Sykes at the start of the team's contest on Wednesday night.

Wisconsin star Frank Kaminsky narrowly avoided what would have been a surefire dunk-of-the-year candidate from Green Bay's Keifer Sykes at the start of the teams' contest on Wednesday night.

After the game, Kaminsky tweeted that he was relieved that Sykes did not close out the slam, which led to an exceedingly pleasant exchange with the Green Bay guard:

Thank God that @keifer1124 missed that dunk. Would have ruined my confidence as a basketball player.

@FSKPart3 didn't get a win or make the dunk but I'm sure it's a nice picture of the miss dunk that I can save to post when you get drafted.

Why can't all of the internet follow in the footsteps of these to fine young fellows and only use Twitter for compliments?
