It was a good Sunday for Atlanta Hawks fans. Their squad once again proved they are one of the worst teams in the league by losing to the Bulls (helping their mission to tank), and as an added bonus, they got to see streetball legend Hot Sauce tear up another schmuck.
The victim this time around? None other than ESPN’s go-to business reporter Darren Rovell. He made sure to don a full throwback Hawks uniform for his basketball funeral:

First thing that pops to mind here: Rovell can’t be this bad at basketball, right? The footwork, getting spun around like a top twice… it just has the feel of a staged stunt. That being said, we saw the same strung out defense for Rovell v. Porzingis:
