VIDEO: Clippers Arena Host Hannah Cormier Ruthlessly Trolls Contestant in Half-Court Shot Contest
By Scott Rogust
It's a rare occurrence that a basketball fan gets the opportunity to make a half-court shot to earn some cold hard cash at halftime of an NBA game. Imagine earning that chance... and getting roasted over and over by the in-arena host! That's what Clippers host Hannah Cormier did on Sunday at halftime during the team's big home game against the Western Conference-leading Los Angeles Lakers, and the sheer audacity and snark is almost impressive.
Hannah, why did you have to do him like that?
Look, this man's attempts were far from the greatest, but dunking on him so unequivocally was the wrong way to try to encourage him. Just look at his face -- you can see the dejection and lack of confidence growing in each passing attempt.
If you happen to attend a Clippers game at the Staples Center and get chosen to participate in the half-court contest, you better be good. Otherwise, you might get a healthy dose of verbal jabs from Cormier. Fail at your own risk!
