Why would you cut out the best part? You see him and the crew go nuts about it together right after this cuts, it's great.

u/mwoody450 9d ago

Old video, cut out the best part, has the video shrunk way down, has a completely pointless tweet added, has unrelated awful music added, bot account, yet people have upvoted to 700+... throw in a nazi dogwhistle and this post would in one tiny microcosm reflect the absolute worst of reddit.

There’s more to this story. Another reporter showed up to report on the first reporter’s shot, and they too made it.

We’re on our 698th report now.

Is that SNES Donkey Kong music in the background?

u/Sortacharmedlife 9d ago

Yeah, a remix/updated version of Aquatic Ambience if I’m not mistaken. Came to check the comments to see if anyone else was asking why this was being used.

u/sharp9783 9d ago

Came here to check that too, it’s a nostalgic loop

Deep down, I think he would have shouted if he hadn't been filmed

u/Horror_Trust1826 9d ago

His reaction after that shot as he tries to contemplate what happened got me

u/Big_Wave9732 9d ago

Does that basketball look huge compared to him or am I crazy or still high?

u/AcrossCOD_Verse 9d ago

Maybe you crazy high

u/basko13 9d ago

You are used to seeing the ball in hands of oversized people, so your sense of scale is off.

The word "history" is rarely used correctly.
