Buddy Hield got ejected from the Pelicans game against the Kings on Sunday night for an old school Ric Flair low blow delivered to poor DeMarcus Cousins, who was just trying to set a screen.
It was stunning to see happen because of how obvious it was, and upon review it was even clearer that there was intent to the action and Hield got rightfully tossed. It’s a terrible action anywhere, especially in the course of play on the basketball court, and hopefully Hield never tries it again.
That said, since Cousins is fine, we can laugh about how ridiculous it is, and no one made a better joke than Pelicans superstar Anthony Davis. Davis caught Hield napping on the team plane back from Sacramento on Sunday night and snapped a picture that he posted to Snapchat. While napping, Hield has his hand in his pants and Davis captioned the picture “still tryin to grab nuts!!”
It’s the perfect caption. You couldn’t come up with anything better if you tried. This is flawless execution from Anthony Davis, and I’m so glad that NBA players enjoy roasting their friends on Snapchat because it makes me laugh. Snapchat has become the best way to keep track of passed out basketball players on planes. We just need JaVale McGee to put this on a blanket now.
