NBA half-time Diaper Dash at Cleveland Cavaliers

Many top sports teams have a thriving youth policy - but this is getting ridiculous...

During the half-time break at the NBA showdown between Cleveland Cavaliers and Philadelphia 76ers, the next wave of elite athletes entered the arena - and it turns out keeping the crowd happy was child's play.

You have probably heard the phrase 'dummy run' but these youngsters were running for dummies - as their family members stood at the finishing line and offered inducements to the competitors.

While NBA spectators are used to seeing plenty of dribbling on the court, it usually comes to an end when the players have departed.

Not this time, though - although some of the athletes on show proved to be enfant terribles as they refused to even take part in the race.

'Mad Dash Micah' was not kidding about, and finished with a rare rattle - quite literally - to take the spoils.

So, forget about the Premier League and the World Darts for just a second and click on the video above to watch the weekend's main sporting event.
