Four years ago today, one of the most important events in the history of Lakers Twitter happened: Podcaster and Hot Take Enthusiast Anthony Irwin showed up to an empty gym for a media pickup game at Las Vegas Summer League, dribbled the ball towards the basket during warmups, gathered, took two awkward steps in the direction of the bucket, and juuuuuuuust barely bricked the layup.
The clip has become the stuff of legend (albeit maybe only to me and a few others specifically). And chances are, if you’ve followed Anthony or I on social media, you’ve seen me tweet the clip at him, or others.
