Brian Scalabrine was a punchline for most of his NBA career. He averaged all of 3.1 points per game as an end-of-the-rotation guy. His modest stats and goofy appearance earned him the nickname “White Mamba.” But make no mistake: even at 43, he’s still one of the most elite basketball players on the planet, as one unfortunate high schooler learned recently.
A video posted on TikTok shows a high school hooper who ran into Scalabrine at a gym challenging the former second-round pick to a game of one-on-one. Bad idea. Scalabrine won 11–0.
That kid is probably a pretty good high school basketball player.
