Breiden Fehoko and Joe Burrow were part of the same 2019 LSU team that won the college football playoff championship. In 2020, the Cincinnati Bengals drafted Burrow in the first round, and nose tackle Fehoko signed with the Los Angeles Chargers as an undrafted free agent.

Burrow led the Bengals to a Super Bowl appearance in 2021. He has further won a couple of Comeback Player of the Year awards. Fehoko played sparingly for the Chargers and later with the Pittsburgh Steelers. He retired from football in November 2025.

These days, Fehoko is famous for his witty reactions on Twitter, and Monday fans witnessed another bombshell from the 29-year-old. On Monday, President Donald Trump attended game three of the 2025-26 NBA Championship between the New York Knicks and the San Antonio Spurs at Madison Square Garden.

Videos circulated that fans inside the famous arena booed Trump when he was introduced on the Jumbotron. FOX Sports analyst Rachel Nichols uploaded a video of the moment with the caption, “Louder than the boos for the Spurs, louder than any boos I’ve heard in this building in a while.”

Fehoko quickly retweeted Nichols’ post with the caption:

Wasn’t louder than when Jimmy Butler had you grabbing sheets in the bubble.

Fehoko was referring to the rumors that circulated during the 2020 NBA bubble. Six-time NBA All-Star Jimmy Butler was reportedly in practice gear, drenched in sweat. Butler, then part of the Miami Heat, claimed he was dribbling the ball. However, fans started a rumor that he was having an intimate moment with journalist Nichols. Of course, it remains a rumor, and nothing has ever been proven.

The Knicks qualified for the final after besting the Cleveland Cavaliers, and the Spurs made it this far by taking down the defending champions, the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Knicks secure the first victory in the series, forcing the Spurs to play catch-up.

Game two turned out to be a much closer affair. The Spurs were handed a great shot at winning the game in the final moments with the scores tied at 104-104. However, Victor Wembanyama’s unforced error led to a turnover, and the Knicks sneaked in a point to win the game 105-104.

Fehoko immediately called out Wembanyama on Twitter:

Aye Wemby. You are 7’5 how are you this big and soft? Next time have some respect for the National Anthem you big piece of French baguette.

It wasn’t over with that:

I gotta listen to dumb a*s poverty Knicks fans ride off a 2-0 start in the finals cause that pathetic excuse of a Frenchman plays like a baby deer on the basketball court. Brunson sold. Hart sold. And they still won.

Spurs came back stronger in the third game, even after squandering a 12-point first-half lead, and fell behind 64-57 entering halftime. In the second half, the Spurs overtook the Knicks with several sublime baskets from Wembanyama and Julian Champagnie. San Antonio stunned the capacity crowd by securing a 115-111 victory to gain momentum ahead of game four.
