“That’s Jackie Chan’s Kung-Fu slap” NBA fans reacts as Brandon Ingram breaks Cam Johnson’s face in Game 3

Brandon Ingram has developed into a very well-rounded two-way player in the league. He has worked wonders on the young New Orleans Pelicans leading them into the playoffs this season.

He averaged 22.7 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 5.6 assists per game in the regular season and has been one of the most improved players in the league recently.
