You would think that, as an NBA player, you would have amazing skill at Pop-A-Shot. It’s all basketball, right? It’s got to be similar.
Well, either that’s not true or this one kid has a really bright future in the NBA.
Wizards rookie forward Rui Hachimura was playing Pop-A-Shot during All-Star festivities on Saturday against some kid. And, y’all, he was legitimately getting washed. Like, the kid was doubling his score washed.
Hachimura was so bad, apparently, that he thought it may be something wrong with his rim. So he had his competitor switch sides. What was the result? Still. Washed.
Yoooooo. That is EMBARRASSING. Nah, Rui. Come on, my boy, you’ve got to do better than that. In front of Allen Iverson, too? He’s never going to live this down. He’s going to get clowned all the way back to D.C.
Tell you what, though. Hachimura is a much better man than myself. He didn’t swat not a single one of the kid’s shots away. Just kept letting him shoot his lights out with no mercy. Respect, I guess?
And, yes, as a Wizards fan I am absolutely (and unreasonably) mortified by this. But for Wizards fans, being mortified is just a state of existence.
So I’m still laughing right along with the rest of you.
