Exactly my take on it. Rotten play and the kid is lucky the other team didn't retaliate immediately (you can see the entire bench react like they're going to storm the court and all of them hold back). I think white kid was pissed and lashing out at a breakaway play, but I would wager he didn't expect that to happen. Not a defense of the play of the kid by any means, it was still a shitty move.
And "worst ever"? Nah. I've seen some real blatant fouls like elbows to noses and straight jab cock shots that way worse than this, imo. Still, as you said, kid should have been T'd up and booted from the game.
