VIDEO: Nuggets rookie Gary Harris throws down huge dunk, mom misses it

Brian Spurlock / USA Today Sports

Denver Nuggets rookie guard Gary Harris, an Indiana native, had his mother in attendance when he took the floor for his first career NBA game Friday night in Indianapolis.

Harris impressed in his debut, tallying 13 points on 6-of-10 shooting in just 18 minutes, as the Nuggets steamrolled the Indiana Pacers, 108-87.

But Harris' mother, for whatever reason, wasn't paying attention when her son produced the most electric play of the night, when he hammered home a dunk over two Pacers, guard A.J. Price and 6-foot-11 center Ian Mahinmi.

Hopefully it's the first of many highlight-reel plays for Harris, and mom won't blink next time.
