Buddy Hield has a hilarious reaction to ex-teammate's 'drug test' jab
Buddy Hield knocking down 3-pointers in a game is nothing new to NBA fans. However, given his talent for shooting the ball, his athleticism is often forgotten. The Golden State Warriors star threw down a thunderous dunk in the game against the OKC Thunder on Sunday and his former teammate Myles Turner had a hilarious reaction to it.
During the third quarter, Hield positioned himself in the corner and cut towards the basket. Draymond Green passed the ball to him and Hield dunked it before casually running back to play defense.
Myles Turner posted the video on his IG story and wrote:
"Drug Test Incoming [Buddy Hield]," Turner captioned.
Hield reposted the story and added replied to Turner's playful jab.
"Haha sh***t you see me," Hield wrote.
Hield has been solid so far for the Warriors. In 10 games, he is averaging 18.0 points on 50.0% shooting from the field and 48.8% shooting from the 3-point line. The Warriors are tied with the Thunder and Phoenix Suns with an 8-2 record, which is the best in the Western Conference.
Buddy Hield reveals Reggie Miller's NSFW advice for him at halftime
Reggie Miller is one of the greatest 3-point shooters in NBA history and he recently gave some shooting advice to Hield. Miller covered the game between the Warriors and New Orleans Pelicans on Oct. 30 and got the chance to talk to Hield.
Hield only had three points at halftime and was not only struggling from the field but also avoided shooting the ball.
After the game, Hield shared the NSFW suggestion that the NBA legend gave him which unlocked his game in the second half.
"He told me to shoot the f***ing ball!" Hield said.
Miller's suggestion didn't go in vain as Hield scored 25 points in the second half, including 16 points in the fourth quarter.
He finished with 28 points while shooting 9 of 18 from the field and 7 of 11 from beyond the arc in 28 minutes and helped his team win. The Warriors faced the Pelicans again the following night and also won, 104-89.
