DJ Khaled Airballs A 3 Pointer At NBA Playoff Game

DJ Khaled tested his basketball skills during a break in the Miami Heat and Atlanta Hawks NBA playoff game. Unfortunately, DJ Khaled fail to impress the arena full of basketball fans.

Khaled Shoots His Shot

TMZ watched as Khaled took to the court to shoot his shot, literally. A security guard played defense by trying to block his shot. Then, “Billy” tried to hit a three pointer from NBA range. Similar to Trae Young, who shot 1-9 in the first half, DJ Khaled could not buy a bucket. He missed the goal completely shooting an air-ball for all to see. Fans became impatient with the producer and did not want him to shoot “Another One”. The people in the FTX Arena started booing him for his awful shot. Eventually, Khaled was escorted off the court and back to his seat.

Game 1: Miami Heat vs Atlanta Hawks

Game 1 between the Atlanta Hawks and the Miami Heat took place on Easter Sunday. The NBA playoffs started the day before as four teams took to the court but none of them balled out like the Miami Heat. In the game, Miami shot 52.4% from the field. This probably inspired Khaled to take to the court during halftime but his shooting percentage was similar to the Atlanta Hawks shooting percentage.

Boos Fill The Stadium

DJ Khaled is not use to hearing crowds boo him. Usually, fans are yelling one of his many chart toppers at the top of their lungs. Arenas fill just to hear a. Khaled produced hit but not on this night. Fans came to see playoff basketball not a hip-hop star air-ball wide open 3’s.

After the blowout the Hawks endured at the hands of the Heat, Jimmy Butler is seen embracing Khaled. Butler ended the game with 21 points, 6 rebound, and 4 assists. Hopefully, the Every Chance I Get producers bad shot won’t rub of on the star of the Miami Heat. The game ended with a score of 115 to 91 in favor of Miami but it’s only game 1 of a seven game series.

Catch Game 2 at 7:30 ET on TNT.

Turns out J. Cole Put Caleb Martin On Miami Heat

Apparently, the reason Caleb Martin ended up on Miami Heat is J. Cole. The Charlotte Observer interviewed Caleb Martin and reported that Cole paid a decent effort to secure Martin’s position on the team.

Cole & Martin Caleb

“It’s dope he considers me one of his people that he takes into account,” Martin also shared with the newspaper. “You could just tell he appreciates guys who grind like he does.”

Turns out, J. Cole has the whole private gym in North Carolina. Players that the artist is friendly with work and master their basketball skills there. Some of the best state players train there also, including Cody Martin and his twin brother, Caleb Martin.

At some point, Cole saw the two playing alongside in his gym. Caleb Martin was reportedly “dunking on guys” while knocking “3-pointers and game-winners.”

This was enough to also impress Cole. Omar Khanani, personal Martin twins’ trainer, explained that “Cole holds his own against guys, and Caleb was giving him fits. You’ve got a gym full of pros, and he’s standing out.”

J. Cole started to seek potential contractors for Caleb Martin. After the long list of various denials, Caron Butler showed up. Butler is a long friend of Cole and the assistant coach for the Miami Heat.

“He told me he had a very, very talented guy that was just wrecking shop up here in North Carolina, Butler explained. “He reached out to me, and I just invited him to an open scrimmage in the summer.” Afterward, Martin “really earned his way on,” as Butler explains. 

Turns out, Cole was right in his predictions. Caleb Martin is now playing for Miami Heat. 

Cole & Colin Kaepernick

Apart from helping Caleb Martin, J. Cole has also been in the football spotlight. A couple of days ago, the artist posted about Kaepernick on Instagram. 

“I see you, bro, and I know God is with you,” Cole then claimed. “I pray the day soon comes when you get to play the game you love at the highest level again. And I haven’t forgotten. RESPECT.”

Cole’s post referred to the football player Colin Kaepernick. In 2016, he did not stand up for the national anthem before the game. The football player explained that he does not want to support the country, which allows the current political climate.

Later on, Kaepernick started to kneel instead of just sitting down during the anthem. He did so to respect the war veterans fighting for the U.S.

In a new interview with Central Ave, Dwayne Wade thanked Iron Mike for speaking up, stating:

“I actually talked to Mike bout that earlier in the pandemic. We had a conversation and I appreciated it from a standpoint of Mike is someone who has never tried to be perfect. He is someone who has learned from this journey of life. He’s so smart. He’s so educated and knowledgeable about life and for him to be able to drop that nugget on the world, to me it was great to hear him say that.”
