Court Is In Session

Three stars from the Nashville Predators recently showed up to a Belmont University basketball game for what looked like a not at all thrilling half-time promotion.

The Preds players who took part were Shea Weber, Ryan Suter, and Jordin Tootoo, and it mainly involved them going out and awkwardly shooting some basketballs. Or b-balls as the kids call it.

When I first saw that this video existed I kind of cringed as hockey players aren't well known for their basketball skills. Nor are basketball players known for their hockey skills. Have you ever seen Lebron James on skates? No, I haven't either. Case in point.

But it really wasn't as bad as it could've been. In one sequence, Shea Weber even sinks some free throws and a couple of three pointers.

Wow, Barack Obama becomes president and all sorts of stereotypes and barriers are being broken. A black man can be president, and white guys can sort of, somewhat play basketball. I never thought I'd live to see this day. *wipes single tear from eye*
