Well, it definitely didn’t take all that long for someone to cash in on Paul Pierce yelling “I called GAME” into the camera
For the second day in a row in the NBA Playoffs on Saturday, we were treated to one massively exciting finish. One day after Derrick Rose broke the hearts of the Cavaliers with a buzzer-beating three to take a 2-1 series lead, Paul Pierce nailed his own buzzer-beater for the Wizards over the Hawks.
However, unlike Rose who calmly answered “No” when asked if he called “Bank” on his shot or not, Pierce hilariously responded that he didn’t make the famous call, however he did “call GAME.”
It was a moment that immediately exploded on the internet and other media, so therefore, a perfect marketing opportunity was put out there for the masses. Well, someone has capitalized on that.
Well now, that sure didn’t take long. But in today’s world of the internet, stuff like this generally doesn’t take all that long to come together. Again, Pierce had everything exploding from the moment he said it.
These are indeed a real thing, and you can even purchase one of your own by simply clicking here.
