    What a piece of shit. Then he acts all innocent like, then calls her a bitch again. The only little bitch I see on that court is Sengun.
    Post · Full video of the altercation. Sengun: “He’s up on me.. you a b*tch!” Jaylen Brown: “Woah! Hey, get him out of here!” Ref: “He can’t call me that, no!” As Sengun was getting ejected, he called her a b*tch again.

    Sengun is cheeks bro. How are you a center who doesn’t shoot threes and can’t play defense and have that as your TS%?
