Transcript

Hooper, hooper, Hooper! How did you manage to fumble a wide open layup? A wide open layup that was impossible. That was impossible to even let the defensive player take. And somehow or some way you let the ball. Ball slip out your hands so easily? Player, how can... Not only play defense, play defense on himself? You sneeze? To get this type of defense from your own body? Hooper? I'm 18 years of living. I've never seen a film. I've never seen a video where the own Hooper is playing defense within his own self. Cause now you're definitely not getting the buns, nor the number whopper. Cause there's no way to this shit. Gotta stop this shit. Can't keep going.
