Here’s R. Kelly Burying A Jumper At Barclays Center In A Turtleneck And Blazer

Most of the basketball world’s attention on Tuesday night is turned to the college game, as there are a pair of monster match-ups that pit Duke against Kentucky and Kansas against Michigan State. While there are a few good NBA contests on Tuesday, a lot of stuff in the pros is on the back-burner while the college guys are in the spotlight.

One such game that is going under the radar is between the Brooklyn Nets and the Atlanta Hawks. It’s been a pretty solid game, but the biggest draw of the night was the National Anthem, when R. Kelly stepped to mid-court and brought the house down.

Before the game, R. Kelly decided to shoot some hoops on the floor of the Barclays Center. His attire for this occasion: a jacket, a turtleneck, sunglasses, a watch, a ring and a cigar. Because R. Kelly doesn’t mess around, he decided to head to the corner and release one of the prettiest jump shots that we’ve seen out of a celebrity. Despite being dressed like he was going to a business meeting, he got nothing but net on his attempt from downtown.

Considering that the Nets came into the night shooting a league-worst 26.5 percent from three, maybe having R. Kelly join the team as a three-point specialist is something that Brooklyn should consider.
