Video: Kyrgios humiliates NSW Premier during charity basketball game
ATPTuesday, 26 April 2022 at 05:00
After returning to Australia following his participation at the Sunshine Double and Houston, tennis star Nick Kyrgios took to a different court as he participated in a celebrity basketball game in Sydney.
The Starlight celebrity game took place on Sunday, April 24th and was organized to raise money for the Starlight Children's Foundation. Kyrgios, an avid basketball fan, went against New South Wales Premier Dominic Perrottet and had two highlight plays against the most powerful politician in the New South Wales state.
Early into the match, Perrottet attempted a shot from the paint but his shot never made it to the basket as Kyrgios blocked it. Minutes later, Kyrgios put Perrottet on an island, crossed him and was left wide for a long two-pointer.
Corey "Homicide" Williams, a popular Australian basketball commentator, lost it after Kyrgios made the move on Perrottet.
“OMG @NickKyrgios put a series of moves on the NSW Premier Dominic Perrottet in the Celebrity ASG and hit the bucket. He blocked his shot twice,” NBL commentator Corey Williams posted on Twitter. “16 points 2 dimes 2 blocks in 20 minutes.
Even in a celebrity game he’s going hard. My man Nick ain’t no joke. #MustSeeTV”.

Like most things in Life -- one cannot make an argument relating to the Saudi Regime and, at the same time, triple your bank account with their "gifts".
