VIDEO: Reporter Ridiculously Confuses Raptors Teammates Stanley Johnson and Patrick McCaw
By Parker White
Stanley Johnson just signed with the Toronto Raptors on a one-year deal, and while he has the ability to play in the NBA, he hasn't lived up to expectations, and he's struggled to show out in Detroit and New Orleans over his first four pro seasons. But hey, he's a three-time NBA champion, right? Well, no, but that's what this poor reporter thought.
Reporters got Stanley Johnson mixed up with Pat McCaw ?

Is there anything about Stanley Johnson and Patrick McCaw that's similar? I mean, they are similar in height and are both 23 years old, but it's curious as to how this guy mixed them up.
I'll give Johnson credit for not big-leaguing the reporter and instead laughing it off. He certainly didn't have to do that.
A Toronto reporter mixed up Stanley Johnson and Patrick McCaw (McCaw won 3 consecutive championships, two with Golden State and one with the Raptors).

Loved how Johnson put his ego aside and tried to make the reporter feel at ease about his mistake. pic.twitter.com/V7ORxA0yL3
Luckily, this was NBA Summer League and everyone (including players) are a lot looser during this part of the NBA schedule. But if this guy is covering the Raptors, it's time to clean it up and make sure this doesn't happen again.
