After the Raptors lost to Orlando 111-96 on Sunday at the Kia Center in Orlando, the two youngsters met to swap jerseys for a double-meaning picture and their interaction also went viral on social media.
Toronto Raptors and Orlando Magic youngsters Gradey Dick and Anthony Black had set the internet on fire as they were seen changing their jerseys after the match on Sunday.
Soon after the incident, the renowned NBA podcaster Rob Perez shared a video of them planning the hilarious moment on social media platform X (formerly Twitter).
After the Raptors lost to Orlando 111-96 on Sunday at the Kia Center in Orlando, the two youngsters met to swap jerseys for a double-meaning picture and their interaction also went viral on social media. As per Perez, the youngsters talked about whether they should go with the one beforehand. Perez saw Dick whispering “F**k it” before the jersey swap.
“Knew exactly what they were doing. Watch Gradey say “f**k it…” at the beginning of this, and Anthony re-position himself,” read the post shared by Rob Perez on X.
It will be interesting to see whether NBA will react to this humorous incident. If they do not then Dick will get enough chances to change jerseys with players, who have interesting surnames.
In the game against Orlando Magic, Dick claimed 10 points along with two three-pointers during his 27-minute stay. Black, on the other hand, came off the bench to collect 2 points during his 3-minute stay.
Dick had a slow start this season and has struggled to stay consistent. He also played a few matches in the NBA G League before entering this tournament. But after their 23-45 loss to Toronto Raptors midway through the season and then a lot of their players getting injured, Dick then got a few opportunities but started to fizzle out. In February this year he averaged 11.2 points, 2.5 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 0.5 steals and 2.1 three-pointers in each match that he played.
These performances may not improve overnight but Dick has a brilliant 42.6 per cent from deep on 4.9 three-point attempts in a match. He also displayed his shooting prowess, which made him a lottery pick. Besides his shooting, he has also shown both offense and defensive skills and often gets chances to lead.
