From the article - ESPN re: video: "We occasionally look to connect sports moments of the past with contemporary imagery and storylines as part of our social content. While it was never our intention to misrepresent anything for fans, we completely recognize how this instance caused confusion."
Lol
It wasn't a misrepresentation, it was a complete fabrication
but honestly it just seems like they were trying to make a meme. Like two years ago when Tatum hit a game-winning bank shot, I used deep fake lip sync to have him lip sync to Paul Pierce hitting a game-winning bank shot: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G8TqVFkEi7g
To those who know the Pierce clip, it was an obvious meme. Maybe they assumed people were already super familiar with that original Dame clip??
There needs to be more oversight with this shit. If I was the NBA I would be upset that ESPN is pulling shit like this and then gaslighting people that they weren’t wrong for doing so, they’re just sorry it confused you.
Their explanation would make sense if it was an edit of an iconic moment of his, like the buzzer beater over PG or something, but who the fuck thinks anyone would recognize some random ass interview clip from three years ago??
Wait are you being sarcastic? Cause it is famous, J Cole included it in a song
he's had the jersey for two games and yall caping already lmao
Sorry you misunderstood us.
