fuck them kids

In late July 2016, professional basketball players Michael Jordan and Chris Paul were at a summer camp event

where they decided to wage a friendly bet: if Jordan missed three shots the entire camp got free Jordans.

The bet was documented in a video where Jordan proceeded to make every shot. None of the kids got Jordans.

It was uploaded to YouTube on July 30th, 2016 by the channel HoopJab,

who received roughly 715,300 views over the course of six years (shown below).

On September 4th, 2018, the video resurfaced online, inspiring Twitter[1

user KILLATEX to create a fake inspirational photo quote of Jordan saying, "Fuck them kids" (shown below).

Over the course of five years, the tweet received five likes.
