Darren Rovell is Just the Worst at Basketball
When thinking of "celebrities" who can ball, names that come to mind are Justin Bieber, Nelly, Common, but certainly not ESPN business reporter Darren Rovell. In case you're unaware of Rovell, let us explain.

Rovell doesn't cover all aspects of sports, just the money side of it. The money side that doesn't involve sports, but the teams and athletes who sign sponsorship and endorsement deals. Anyways, Rovell first arrived on the national sports radar when he was the host/curator in Swoosh! Inside Nike! by CNBC. Ever since then, he's gained fame for publishing tweets/reports of sneaker brand-endorsed athletes, etc. These entitled tweets receive a lot of hate, that Rovell has even responded back to.

Now back to the news at hand. Rovell thought it would be a great idea to take on New York Knicks 2015 first-round pick Kristaps Porzingis 1-on-1. Yes, that's correct. Rovell, when standing straight is a daunting 5-10 taking on the 7-3 Porzingis. Height is just a number, right? Lucky for you, there's video of said matchup worthy of Pacquiao-Mayweather praise.


This might be the newest hip-hop dance craze after the dab dies out. Rovell claims to be a great tennis athlete. Sorry Rovell, with that kind of movement, we just don't see it.

In the same day, Porzingis got "schooled" by a small child. This small child did what Rovell could not, score on an NBA athlete. After this stunt, Rovell should burn his Michael Jordan Dream Team jersey.
