I don’t follow much of the NBA as there isn’t a sport that is as predictable (the Cavs and Warriors will find themselves in the finals again), but even if you don’t follow the NBA you’ve heard of Lonzo Ball. And as much hype as Ball has gotten over the past year his NBA debut crashed and burn as he ended up with three points, four assists and nine rebounds in a 108-92 Lakers loss to the Clippers. And this is thanks to Patrick Beverley guarding the hell out of him.
But how did ESPN idiot Stephen A. Smith describe this defense? Well, like this:

And that’s all it took for Twitter to mock Smith with hilarious responses. Have a look.
