The Nike basketball social media account posted an awfully bone-headed tweet about no extra basketball for the following week, and WNBA followers instantly clowned them for it.
The Mavs lastly unraveled the Timberwolves on Thursday, which signifies that NBA basketball won’t come on once more till June 6. Nike, making an attempt to capitalize on the seemingly brief basketball drought, posted a since-deleted tweet to X (previously Twitter) to pout over it.
There’s only one downside — there’s loads of basketball till then. THE WNBA STILL EXISTS. There are literally over 15 video games till the Mavs and Celtics play within the NBA Finals, together with a Caitlin-Clark, Angel Reese and Kamilla Cardoso matchup that can doubtless be absolute cinema.
The tweet was so dangerous that Beneath Armour jumped into the dialog and responded with a sneaky good troll job.
And that’s that…one other week WITH hoops 😉
