2668552, Setting "hard" screens at LA Fitness while Black (SWIPE)
Posted by mrhood75, Tue Jul-17-18 01:34 PM
The Marine visited the LA Fitness in VA and took exception to someone set a "hard" screen on him. So he called the cops.

A man called the police during a pickup basketball game after getting knocked to the floor by a hard pick at the LA Fitness in Sterling, Va. yesterday.

Pictured in the perfect tweet below are the police officer, the man who set the screen (in the double-shooting sleeve, late-stage Melo getup), and the man who was knocked down by the screen (black shirt, arms folded):

"Everyone at the gym and dude in the black with hands folded falls from a hard pick.

He gets up tells everyone he’s going to call the police and walks out leaving everyone in gym confused

We thought he was joking til we saw buddy at the front desk on the phone really calling the police

Shooting Sleeves was NOT the one who called the police he was the screener not the “screenee”

Cop finally comes and brings them out the gym to talk like it was an elementary school fight. You could tell he was blown cause his time was wasted

Cop leaves and we are still left wondering why..."

Thomas Mulabah, 28, told Deadspin he witnessed the lead-up to the Screen Heard Round the World while waiting for the next pickup game:

"He had pushed him in the back before so he got hit with a hard screen at the top of the key and flew to the ground got up and walked out the door lol he went to the front desk and called the cop and waited for them. Then walked back in and sat down."
