DeAndre Jordan laughs, walks out of press conference after ‘Hack-A-Jordan’ question (Video)
Los Angeles Clippers center DeAndre Jordan found a question about ‘Hack-A-Jordan’ too funny to handle.
DeAndre Jordan was hacked early in often in game four of the Los Angeles Clippers’ series against the Houston Rockets. Houston began the ‘Hack-A-Jordan’ strategy early in the first quarter and continued to hack away until Jordan had accrued a playoff-record 28 free throw attempts in the first half.
As ‘Hack-A-Jordan’ was the topic of much conversation on the TNT halftime show, social media, and anywhere else, a reporter at the postgame press conference of the Clippers’ 33-point victory felt compelled to ask Jordan about the intentional fouling.
This was the result:
Watching the laugh and humor of the situation build within Jordan is fantastic. He goes from mildly amuse all the way to “I can’t take this right now” in mere seconds before trying to leave the room.
Never one to pass up a good rib, Blake Griffin tried to get Jordan to still answer the question, which Jordan responded with an answer that’s basically a euphemism for “I’m just here so I won’t get fined.”
After taking 34 free throw attempts and hitting just 14 of them, but still having you team winning the game by 30+ points, I guess the only real thing that you can do is laugh when asked that kind of question.
