"AD already having flashes of all the memes coming out" - NBA fans in splits as Anthony Davis gets hilariously duped by $365 million Dodgers star
Los Angeles Dodgers star Mookie Betts' pank on Anthony Davis left NBA fans in splits on social media. In a video posted on Sunday, by All Things Mavs on X, formerly known as Twitter, Betts sat on the ground holding his hand, while someone in the background said that the Dodgers right fielder could have hurt his hand.
Anthony Davis kept looking at the baseball star with utter apprehension. The video was part of Davis' "Foul Play with Anthony Davis" comedy prank show. However, the $365 million Dodgers star [per Spotrac] made it look like Davis had actually injured him while pulling off the prank. Even Dodgers' manager Dave Roberts played along with Betts.
Some of the fans hilariously trolled Anthony Davis saying that the Mavs star was already having flashes of the memes that would have come if the injury had been real.
AD already having flashes of all the memes coming out after this "injury" report," the fan wrote.
"AD was getting flashbacks the whole time😂😂," another fan wrote.
One of them wrote that when Davis was traded to the Mavs, he had probably thought that it was a prank.
"AD prob thought the trade was part of the prank show when he found out," the fan wrote.
Some fans found a hilarious irony that the Mavs star was thrown an injury prank in his face.
"Him getting pranked by someone getting injured is crazy work," the fan wrote.
Some fans gave Dave Roberts his flowers for his great acting.
"Damn, Dave Roberts sold the hell out of that.😂," the fan wrote
"Dave Roberts for the Oscar 😂," another fan wrote.
