Malik Beasley of the Pistons responds hilariously when Lakers’ Anthony Davis yells “Aayy” to draw a foul
At Crypto Arena, the Los Angeles Lakers took on the Detroit Pistons in an attempt to continue their winning run following consecutive triumphs over the Sacramento Kings.
There was a lot of excitement during the game, but the highlight was a humorous exchange between two former teammates.
In an intense altercation on the court, Lakers star Davis yelled, “Aayy!” to get the referee’s attention and attempted to draw a foul.
Although Davis’ outspoken protest was typical of basketball players, it did not get him the call he was hoping for.
Additionally, the response from Davis’ former teammate and current Pistons guard Malik Beasley added to the moment’s entertainment value.
Unable to resist, Malik Beasley trolls Anthony Davis for his inflated attempt, saying,
Just cause you scream AYYY doesn’t mean it’s a foul!
“Just cause you scream AYYY doesn’t mean it’s a foul!”
