GIF: Michael Kidd-Gilchrist celebrates huge dunk by throwing mouthguard at ref

Charlotte Hornets swingman Michael Kidd-Gilchrist came into this season with heightened expectations for his notoriously abysmal jump shot. 

While MKG did splash a couple mid-range jumpers early on, he also got back to doing what he does best: running the floor and throwing down dunks. 

He celebrated his first cram of the year in unconventional fashion, removing his mouthguard and firing it in the direction of a nearby referee.

It's unclear if Kidd-Gilchrist was upset at the ref for an earlier call (or non-call), but this seems like an odd reaction regardless.
