ESPN’s Brian Windhorst just wants to know what’s going on with the Utah Jazz. Please, someone let us know. Social media couldn’t get enough of it.
Windhorst ran circles around the First Take desk while all three commentators tried to figure out where the hell he was going with his argument.
To be quite honest, I still have no damn idea.
The NBA insider brings up a valid point at first — it was quite odd of the Jazz to trade away Royce O’Neale to Brooklyn just minutes before Kevin Durant asked for a trade away from the Nets. What does Utah know that we (including Windhorst) does not?
A valid point by Windy. We all have some questions.
Windhorst connects some vague dots, comparing Utah’s dismantling to the likes of the Boston Celtics, when Danny Ainge traded Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett to Brooklyn right after hiring Brad Stevens. Could the Jazz be preparing a shocker of their own?
Brian Windhorst Jazz conspiracy theory: Best memes and tweets
Windhorst is always the subject of memes, and it’s never on a casual basis. The man who broke in as ESPN’s LeBron beat reporter has expanded his game on so many measures — so much so that he can make First Take, of all shows, run circles around him.
There are so many more.
You know it’s NBA Free Agency season when Brian Windhorst has us looking back on trades from the mid-2000’s. He got me again.
