Hannibal Buress is PISSED, you guys. Back in September, during an appearance on Late Night With Seth Meyers Buress said that he was apparently in the final round of picks for the NBA All-Star Celebrity Game and it sounded pretty positive at the time. Something went wrong however, because the NBA just announced their lineup for next week’s game — which includes Kevin Hart, Nick Cannon, Common, and Ansel Elgort, among others — but Hannibal Buress’ name was nowhere to be found.
So what the hell happened? As with most things in life, things are pointing to this being Nick Cannon’s fault:

He was even able to produce an email confirmation from the NBA regarding his participation:

F*ck this. I don’t know about anybody else, but I am personally boycotting the NBA until they rectify this decision. It won’t be very hard for me since I don’t watch basketball in the first place, but even if I did THE DECISION WOULD STILL STAND. #LetHannibalPlay
