As Kevin Huerter swished jump shot after jump shot Sunday night, silencing a distraught Philadelphia 76ers crowd and putting an end to another season of “The Process,” his legend seemed to grow larger and larger among NBA Twitter.
The devout crowd of basketball followers quickly changed his Wikipedia bio, in one instance referring to him as the owner of the 76ers. They shared a slowed-down viral video of Huerter grinning, which he later revealed was actually an incredulous response to a missed free throw. And — of course — they cleverly cut Huerter’s highlights to create a cameo in the “Never Gonna Give You Up” music video, pairing him with another beloved redhead, Rick Astley.
