If you've ever played video games, you will probably relate to the story I'm about to tell. Imagine this, you're playing some Call of Duty when all of a sudden, you see an enemy player and start shooting. As if God himself is trying to spite you, your connection starts to bug out and none of your shots register, allowing the enemy to spot you and gun you down. It is an infuriating experience and last night, New Orleans Pelicans star Josh Hart experienced this pain first hand.
In the clip below, Hart was playing some COD when all of a sudden, he got beaten in a gun battle he feels he should have won. That's when he descended into a fit of rage and yelled: "Fuck this game," before taking his keyboard, throwing it on the ground, stomping on it, then throwing it out of the room entirely.
It was a pretty hilarious scene for viewers at home although if you're Hart, it certainly wasn't funny in the moment. Not to mention, it looks like that mechanical keyboard costs a lot of money and you would never want to waste such a good piece of technology.
Hopefully, Hart will eventually "git gud" at COD and not have to rage as hard.
De’Aaron Fox Disses NBA 2K On Twitter: "2K Is A Trash Game"
De'Aaron Fox goes off on NBA 2K, calling it a "trash game." Don't expect him to stream it on Twitch any time soon.
The NBA has officially been on a hiatus since Rudy Gobert’s COVID-19 diagnosis and players, just like the rest of us, find themselves having to find other ways to spend their time indoors. De'Aaron Fox has found gaming to his time-killer of choice. The Kings' guard has begun consistently streaming on Twitch, but one game he won't be streaming is NBA 2K.

"2k is a trash game. That’s why we don’t want to stream it ??♂️," he remarked on Twitter after being asked to play by fans. "I’ve never seen so many outlet passes go into the 12th row in my life," he explained.
Other players were not happy with his take. "L," Donovan Mitchell responded succinctly to Fox's original tweet. Eric Paschall chimed in suggesting they play 3s, to which Fox replied, "We all know playing online is complete ?."
Mitchell, Fox, and Josh Hart all streamed themselves playing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare on Twitch. A viral clip on Twitter shows Hart suggesting that Fox can bring Sacramento back to the glory days and both Fox and Mitchell clown him for not making the playoffs.
Fox also tweeted that he may be making the switch from PS4 to PC soon: "Should I just get modern warfare on my pc instead of playing it on the PS4?"

Josh Hart Clowned By Donovan Mitchell & De’Aaron Fox On Twitch
NBA players are having a lot of fun in their game rooms now that the league is on hiatus.
Josh Hart has been the subject of a lot of memes over the last couple of years. Of course, he is known as the guy who constantly gets left hanging by all of his teammates. Whether he is on the Los Angeles Lakers or the New Orleans Pelicans, he is constantly being dissed up by his teammates, although at this point, it's become one huge inside joke.
Recently, Hart was streaming video games on Twitch along with Donovan Mitchell of the Utah Jazz and De'Aaron Fox of the Sacramento Kings. At one point, Hart noted that Fox is the only player keeping Kings fans engaged and that one day he will bring them back to the glory days. That's when Fox noted to Mitchell that Hart has never made the playoffs before which led to a hilarious exchange.
Hart took it all in stride as he claimed the team would be able to get there, next season. With a healthy Zion Williamson, the Pelicans would certainly be a deadly team that could compete on a nightly basis with some of the league's powerhouses. For now, though, Hart will have to continue being subjected to the slander.
In the meantime, you can expect more NBA players to keep streaming on Twitch as they wait for NBA basketball to start back up again.
Rihanna’s Quip On LeBron’s IG Post Sparks Josh Hart BDay Gift
Josh Hart shows off his 25th birthday gift, inspired by the trolling comment Rihanna left on LeBron's posterizing IG post.
On the night of February 25th, LeBron James caught a smooth pass from Alex Caruso in transition and proceeded to take flight for an emphatic dunk that blew the roof of the Staples Center. As is the case with many of LeBron's most impressive dunks, the incident was not without victim, and it just so happened to be James' former Laker teammate Josh Hart who was on the receiving end.
As if the viral video footage wasn't enough embarrassment for Hart, LeBron took to instagram after the game to share a couple of still shots of the dunk. See for yourself:
That's just not a great look for Hart - and the comment section of LeBron's IG post was quickly filled with jokes about the Pelicans' guard. Among them, this quip from Rihanna, "Anybody check on Hart?" Those four, simple words were far and away the most liked comment of all, garnering nearly 22,000 'likes' and counting.
Despite all of the skull emojis that LeBron's dunk and Rihanna's comment spawned, Hart is still alive and well. In fact, today, March 6th marks his 25th birthday. And in celebration of his quarter century, Hart was gifted a brand new hoodie commemorating the comment heard around the world.
It's always a little bit easier to laugh in the face of adversity when it's Rihanna who is playfully calling you out. Not speaking from experience here, but you get the point. Check out the photos of Hart's Rihanna-inspired hoodie below.
Rihanna Reacts To LeBron James Dunk With Sublte Shot At Josh Hart
Rihanna cracked a joke about Josh Hart's unfortunate position after being dunked on by LeBron James.
Rihanna has been known for being a huge LeBron James fan over the years. She has been to multiple games cheering on the NBA superstar and ever since he joined the Los Angeles Lakers, the singer has been front and center for a few of his performances. On Tuesday night, LeBron James and the Lakers took on the New Orleans Pelicans and ultimately came out on top with a 118-109 victory. LeBron played phenomenal in the game as he went on to drop 40 points.
After the match, LeBron shared a photo of himself dunking over Josh Hart of the Pelicans. The photo was quite unfortunate for Hart as LeBron's privates were directly in Hart's face. Fans immediately recognized the hilarity behind this photo and Hart has been the subject of jokes ever since. Even Rihanna couldn't resist the roasts as she said "Anybody check on Hart."
Hart has been very vocal about his trade out of Los Angeles and this latest dig adds some insult to injury. As it stands, the Pelicans are on the outside looking in of the playoff picture while the Lakers are first in the Western Conference. It remains to be seen how these teams will progress over the final 25 games although it's clear that LeBron and the Lakers are sitting pretty.
As for Rihanna, we're sure her Lakers fandom will continue to ramp up as the team approaches the postseason.
LeBron James Shares Emasculating Photos Of His Posterizing Dunk
LeBron James posts some soul-crushing photos and video of the posterizing dunk on former teammate Josh Hart.
Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James is a confirmed EOP - an Equal Opportunity Posterizer. That’s to say it doesn’t matter if you’re a close friend or a former teammate, LeBron has no issues whatsoever with dragging his undercarriage across your face as he takes flight.
Case in point, last night’s emphatic dunk over his ex-Laker teammate Josh Hart. As if the viral finish wasn’t devastating enough, LeBron took to IG on Wednesday afternoon to really rub it in with multiple photos and a looped video.
LeBron brought his A-game to Staples Center for Tuesday night's showdown against Hart and the other ex-Lakers, as well as his first matchup against Zion Williamson. LeBron was complimentary of the rookie phenom after LA’s win, but his actions on the court during the game sent a message that he isn’t ready to relinquish the throne just yet.
The 35-year old legend posted a season-high 40 points to go along with eight rebounds, six assists and one posterizing slam. Not to mention, the bag of Red Vines he enjoyed on the bench while his teammates closed out the 118-109 win. Catch some additional angles of the dunk, including the beautiful feed from Alex Caruso, below.
Josh Hart Hilariously Left Hanging By Zion, Leads To Yet Another Meme
Josh Hart is always on the receiving end of some friendly disrespect.
If you're familiar with Josh Hart, then you know he is frequently disrespected when trying to go for a high five with his teammates. Since his days with the Lakers, Hart has been seen dapping himself up after being left hanging. Hart's propensity for being left with his hand in the air has made him a meme of sorts, throughout the NBA. Despite this, Hart has been able to keep a positive attitude and continues to high five himself when left disrespected.
Last night, it was Zion Williamson who gave Hart the cold shoulder. As you can see in the clip below, Hart keeps his hand in the air for at least five seconds but Zion won't even acknowledge him. Hart was to the right of Zion so this can be chalked up to Williamson not seeing his teammate in his peripheral vision. Regardless, it made for a hilarious clip.
Unfortunately, we don't get to see Hart dap himself up but we're sure it happened. At this point, it seems like Pelicans players are doing it on purpose because they know it will go viral. For some, this bit may be getting stale but you have to admit, it's still pretty funny. Even Hart finds it amusing which is all that matters.
