Kevin Buchanan just won the 2010 MLL All-Star Freestyle Competition at tonight's MLL All-Star Game.

However, I am sure paramedics are putting the paddles to Minnesota Swarm General Manager Marty O'Neill's chest after watching Buck come out on top. ohmy.gif

Each contestant got two chances.

1. Kevin puts Bayhawks Head Coach John Tucker and Machine Face off guy and former Swarm practice player Anthony "A-Train" Kelly behind the net in the form of stairs. Going barefoot, Kevin runs up the human staircase but Kevin couldn't quite clear the back of the net and tumbles into the back of the net, nearly decapitating himself. That is when Marty's body hit the floor. Nevertheless, Kevin got right back up.

2. Kevin has one more chance and gets Greg Bice to add to his human staircase. He runs up the stairs gets his foot on the top bar and puts it in as he tumbles over the front of the goal. The goal easily clinched the competition and Kevin says he just had to do it.

Not a bad night for Kevin as he gets a $1,000 check, just enough to pay for Marty's medical bills. biggrin.gif

Keep an eye on Sportscenter, I bet it will be in the top plays, should be #1.

I heard he was #1 on the NOT TOP 10 this morning. (Didn't see it myself though.)

Yes, Kevin made the Sportscenter Not Top Ten Plays. His play is #1. They show his failed attempt but don't show or don't say that he made it the second time.
