Last week Wednesday night (Dec. 11) the New York Knicks faced the Chicago Bulls and beat them 83-78 with Carmelo Anthony putting up 30 points. However the star of the show was a father who protected his daughter from being crushed as Bulls rookie Tony Snell hurtled towards the courtside seats as he tried to save a loose ball from going out of bounds. Snell is easly 6-foot-7, 200 pound man and was going full speed out of bounds. The video of the event went viral soon after it hit YouTube.

Well it turns out that the father was Kenny Meiselas, celebrity lawyer for Puff Daddy, Lady Gaga and Nicky Minaj. The commentators praise him for his cat-like quickness. Watch the video above.
