VIDEO: Richard Jefferson's crowning of MKG called back for charge
Richard Jefferson can still get up.
While his annihilation of Michael Kidd-Gilchrist didn't count in the box score - after Jefferson was called for a charge - it counts for something.
This was a dunk of the year contender had no whistle been blown.
Give the video a second look not only for Jefferson's insane finish, but also for the Hornets' bench reaction. They were loving it, even though their teammate got obliterated.
Lance Stephenson was in awe the second Jefferson took flight.

"It's one of those things, I don't want to make a big deal out of it," Jefferson said following the game, according to Earl K. Sneed of NBA.com. "I'm an old man but it happens every once in a while."
Rick Carlisle on the call to overturn Richard Jefferson's dunk: "It sure did piss a lot of people off."
