๏ปฟRecently, touring rapper Travis Scott performed two concerts in Oakland, California, which is situated across San Francisco Bay from the location of the Golden State Warriors’ home games.
Wednesday, prior to the Warriors’ match against the Sacramento Kings, Scott conferred with the players at the team’s training facility. He also attempted a few shots in front of Stephen Curry, the Warriors player and the universally regarded greatest shooter of all time.
Scott cordially welcomed Curry and Chris Paul in the video. Gary Payton II and rookie guard Brandin Podziemski, who praised Scott for a “great show” in Oakland the night before, were also present.
Podziemski subsequently informed Scott that he was interested in viewing his garment.
What is his physique like? Not awful, but not flawless. Scott ought to extend his feet slightly in the direction of the rim, and his thumb seems to descend the ball marginally. In the same way that Larry Bird succeeded with his follow-through with both hands extended, this is not how a shooting instructor would instruct a student in 2023.
Nonetheless, Scott appears to achieve adequate rotation, indicating that his hand placement is not a significant concern. In addition, he made at least one three-pointer from the corner, and NCAA three-pointers are approximately 1.5 feet shorter than NBA three-pointers in the corners.Wednesday evening was Scott’s performance, so it is unknown how much of the game he watched.
His early departure could have resulted in the loss of arguably the most impressive conclusion of the fledgling season. Curry’s floater with less than one minute remaining extended the Warriors’ lead by one point.The Kings regained the lead with the following possession after Kings center Domantas Sabonis rattled in a midrange jumper. With 0.2 seconds remaining, however, Warriors guard Klay Thompson buried a jumper off a screen, enabling the team to earn a 102-101 victory.On Friday, the Golden State Warriors visit the Oklahoma City Thunder for their inaugural contest of the NBA’s new in-season tournament.
On November 5, Scott will proceed with his tour at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, the venue for the Chargers’ and Rams’ home games. Scott is reportedly the first rap artist in the 70,000-capacity venue’s history to perform and sell out. His album “Utopia,” which was released in July and debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard listings, is the subject of his current tour.
