From eggs on the bus to falling down the stairs: Brooklyn Nets players share some of their most embarrassing moments
The Brooklyn Nets recently shared a glimpse into the personal lives of some of their players by asking them to share their most embarrassing moments. Players like Royce O'Neal and Dorian Finney-Smith provided some candid responses as they talked about their humiliating yet hilarious experiences.
Teams often share videos about matters that aren't related to the game. By doing so, they give players a chance to connect to fans and helping them remember that despite being professional athletes, they can also go through experiences fans might have already gone through.
The videos were shared on the Brooklyn Nets' Instagram and Tiktok pages. Royce O'Neal shared a story about trying to act cool in front of a girl whom he liked, which ended happily for him despite the embarrassment.
"I tried to be cool some time in front of some girls in high school," O'Neal shared. "You know I was talking game to one, and I kinda missed a step I kinda went down like 10 stairs, but I rolled, and, then, like I did the perfect like stand up at the end.
The person interviewing O'Neal said that it worked out in the end, to which he responded:
"Yeah, but it was definitely embarrassing cause everybody was laughing."
The next person to be asked was Dorian Finney-Smith, and his story was something that some young athletes might be able to relate to. In the same video with Royce O'Neal, Finney-Smith talked about how embarrassed he felt when he cried everytime he struck out in baseball.
The experiences shared by Royce O'Neal and Dorian Finney-Smith could be something that fans relate to, especially the one about falling down in public.
