Evan Fournier has problems. Not only is he French, but he also has a face. It’s important to him that said face looks like it should when it is recreated digitally. NBA2K has been a popular face and basketball simulator for years now, and Evan Fournier’s face, along with the rest of his body, is to be included.

Well, things kind of went wrong.

Where to start? Well, some might say he looks like an uemployed reggaeton artist. In fact, many have.

It’s recommended that they stop. You see, reggae angers the French. It reminds them of things that aren’t French. They block those things.

“Twitter Block, Rudy Gobert’s best move”

As noted, this is a common France-person tactic. The French stand together, you see.

Unless they aren’t standing, which is a possibility when they encounter facial inaccuracy. The French are capable of all sorts of non-standing positions: sitting, headstands, angry pointing from a semi-reclined position. This what laying down might look like. (Diagram courtesy of Evan Fournier)

It’s important to get adequate rest, or as they say in France, “having a siesta” which is Italian for “sandwich.”

I wonder if Evan has more thoughts.

He does. Although, if he were to drop a mixtape that would not be as big a problem for him because he’s already laying down, as depicted in the above diagram.

But just because one is taking it easy does not mean they can’t help out.

Luckily, his French National Team teammate Rudy Gobert was there to help. Here is Gobert starting a “make 2k Fournier your profile picture” campaign. The internet is amazing.
