Betting on sports is a fun way to make a game a little more interesting. Except...people usually just bet on the outcome of the game.

Bryan Cranston, whom we all loved to hate as Breaking Bad's Walter White, was sitting court side at last night's matchup between the San Antonio Spurs and Philadelphia 76ers and came very close to smacking Tony Parker on the behind in order to win a $100 bet with Split director M. Night Shyamalan.

He goes in for the smack, but at the very last second it's revealed that he doesn't actually touch Parker. It's a truly shocking twist that, frankly, we've come to expect from an M. Night Shyamalan production. You've done it again, sir!
