I suppose it's possible KD was playing up the anger for laughs, but if he was whoo boy is he bad at selling it.

If he's bad at selling fake angry wouldn't that mean he's actually really good at selling it?

I'd love to be a white nerd who hangs out with LBJ and the artist formerly known as enormous baby

That guy ain't no nerd he looks almost as tall as Lebron and has muscle on him too.

Smh you guys never play pick up the goofy looking white kid who's 6'6 is always the best baller on the court

It provides food and entertainment to people like you who think he had no clue.

Tomorrow every ESPN show will talk about it from First Take to PTI to ATH to SC6 to whatever else ESPN badly needs to fill. It's the lowest of low hanging fruit.

It was a funny joke to begin with but watching everyone else think it's real and he had no clue is the funniest part

Lmao

I have a revelation for you: that goofy looking white kid is still a nerd. That guy in the picture is a nerd. Gordon Hayward is a loving nerd.

Nerds can still muscular and have money.

it just proves that LeBron is the GOAT when his white guy practice dummy is young and in shape looking when Embiid and Simmons get their reps in with short fat old white guys

Also that dude is absolutely not almost as tall as Lebron. Lebron still has half a head on him even though he's slumped way over and the dude is sitting up. Look at how far out their knees extend while sitting as well. Thus concludes my over analysis on the dude who gets to hang out with Lebron freaking James

Are you guys talking about the Sacha Baron Cohen putting his butt in Eminem's face thing? Eminem the entertainer who started his career making novelty rap tunes with lyrics like "I tie a rope to my penis and jump out of a tree," that Eminem having a part in a bit of clearly scripted physical comedy? That's the parallel y'all see there?

if he got "approval" it probably went like this:
ESPN people: Hey KD do you mind if we give Peyton a line about you switching teams
KD: (sweating, completely shook, unable to say no) no um go ahead I like jokes ha ha ha I can laugh at myself
KD later: (gets his feelings hurt anyways)

If a nerd can be huge (looking only slightly short next to those two dudes means he's probably well over 6 feet) muscular and athletic, hang out easily and play sports with famous athletes does Nerd even mean anything anymore!?

Hey guys Nerds can be outgoing extroverts who are strong and coordinated and bad at math

Do you also think KD designed that cupcake ring hat himself, got it produced himself, told himself it was a good idea to wear it around in public and did so before receiving any positive feedback on it from his circle of friends ?

Anime is good, albeit rarely. "Slam Dunk" is one of my favorites. Imagine a Japanese Rodman trying to learn how to play basketball in order to win a girl's heart and then falling in love with the game. Friendships and rivalries are built and rims are dunked on.

One of the great epidemics of our time is the attempted blurring of that nerd line. You've got normal people who think because they jailbroke their iphone once, tell their grandma what the right charging cable is, and like the new Star Wars and Marvel movies that they are nerds. You've got nerds who think because they go to the gym and have a tub of protein powder at their desk and walk around with a shaker bottle that they are jocks. Such a shameful situation in this day and age

No, more the defense and rebounding only thing, sadly. He is also a street punk. I think he gets in some fights? It's been a few years since I last watched it.
