P Diddy catches Marques Johnson stray as Corey Kispert makes a turnover
Milwaukee Bucks broadcaster Marques Johnson made an out-of-pocket comment about Corey Kispert’s slippery hands that has left NBA fans giggling. The 69-year-old is one of the veteran home announcers across the league and a beloved member of the basketball community. He made a calculated move to roast P Diddy, who is currently being investigated by the FBI and is in prison.
Puff Daddy, as P Diddy was also known, was infamous for hosting what were known as ‘Diddy parties’. The hip-hop executive and mogul has been under the microscope after allegations about sexual misconduct, human trafficking and domestic violence began to emerge after decades of such behavior being silently spoken about in hip-hop circles.
One of the freakiest revelations in this deal was the confiscation of an inordinate amount of baby oil found in Diddy’s basement. People have made numerous jokes about what purposes such lubricants could be put to use for. But Marques Johnson may have gone a step further than the average guy in the latest Milwaukee Bucks broadcast.
‘Elder’, as Johnson is affectionately nicknamed, described a live ball turnover by Corey Kispert thus
That ball was lathered in oil, just slipped out of his hands. That was a P-Diddy move on his part.
Marques Johnson said
Johnson, whose son Josiah Johnson is the host of Gil’s Arena, is himself a treasure trove of humor. The former All-Star, whom Michael Jordan idolized as a kid, is essentially incapable of being ‘canceled’ for risque comments like the one in question. Being a 69-year-old who can still dunk should definitely render him immune from any such considerations!
NBA fans react to Marques Johnson’s hilarious P Diddy dig
As expected, NBA Reddit made sure to make a clip of the whole thing and discuss this abnormality with aplomb. The Diddy allegations have now become virtually a punching bag of sorts, with the NBA fan community being significant contributors to such dialogue.
An NBA Redditor remarked, “Wow, that’s crazy that they said that on a live broadcast”. Here are some of the reactions:
Another Redditor pointed out how Johnson has great job security: “Marques Johnson knows they’re not going to fire him”
Marques Johnson is commonly considered a snub from the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. The Bucks legend was a 5-time All-Star and a crucial component of their teams led by Sidney Moncrief in the 80s. However, he still stands a chance to make it to the Hall given that players like Michael Cooper, who had fewer credentials than Johnson, have been nominated and inducted recently.
