Red stripey things on the outside of the ball + spinny spin spin + air = dancing ball

Don’t worry too much about him, though. Mudiay has a lot of experience with shooting for 3 and missing.

To be fair, the miserable late summer Philly weather could’ve played a role in Carlos’ actions. “Man, it’s a hot one,” said one player shortly after witnessing the outburst. “Like, seven inches from the midday sun.”

Hasn’t LeBron been playing for 16 seasons now? Including eight straight full playoff runs?

It says No LA on his jersey. Take the hint.
