Daniel Jacobsen played a crucial role in Team USA’s 88-66 victory over Argentina in the U18 AmeriCup opener. During the game, Jacobsen scored nine points, grabbed ten rebounds, blocked five shots, and made a steal, coming close to achieving a double-double. His performance was impressive. However, after the game, some fans were making jokes about the 7-foot-3 center and criticizing him for his height advantage.

After the game, the College Basketball Report account on X (formerly known as Twitter) posted a video of Jacobsen’s first game with the caption “Meet Purdue’s new 7’3” center, Daniel Jacobsen: 9 PTS 10 REBS 5 BLKS Team USA beats Argentina by 22 points in the FIBA U18 Americup.”

Despite receiving praise from some fans, Jacobsen faced criticism.

One fan wrote, “Where the F**k do they keep getting these guys from?”

A second fan commented, “Purdue always gets the tallest player”

A third fan, “They can’t keep getting away with this“.

Another fan said, “This one looks more like a human and less like a homunculus with Lurch DNA. The lab is mastering its craft.”

Daniel Jacobsen struggled with his decisiveness on the court

Jacobsen has more defensive potential. The 7-foot-3 Purdue’s center can be a great player on defense. In his first game, Jacobsen displayed his versatility by showing his defensive skills. The only criticism Jacobsen received was for his inability to make decisions about the shots.

He sometimes found himself stranded between the Three-pointer line and the free-throw line, giving shooters plenty of space to hit an open shot. Jacobsen had little trouble securing great post positions on the offensive end of the court. However, he did struggle with a couple of close-range shots.

After Purdue’s loss to the UConn Huskies in the Men’s NCAA tournament championship game, Charles Barkley approached the players and offered some important advice.

The 2024 NBA playoffs saw the breakthrough of a superstar in Minnesota Timberwolves’ Anthony Edwards. The 22-year-old guard took the postseason by storm after monstrous performances against the Suns and the Nuggets. Despite his brilliance, the Minnesota side failed to clinch an NBA Finals spot, falling to the Mavs in the WCF.

After the playoffs, Ant-Man took shots at multiple of his critics through an Adidas ad promoting his new shoe line. Among those who faced the blunt of the force of Anthony Edwards’ diss was rapper Cam’ron, who has now taken weapons in arms to counter. In a latest diss track, Cam’ron rhymed, “F**k wrong with Ant man? Gave him his props, homie got love from me. New commercial, y’all ain’t got love for me?”

In the commercial, Anthony Edwards was keeping receipts for his critics. Carmelo Anthony’s quote was mentioned in it, and so was Cam’ron, who said that Edwards is an All-Star but not a superstar yet. This led to the Timberwolves man saying, “F**k buddy.”

Adidas recently launched Anthony Edwards’ signature shoe line, AE 1, which has taken over the market with its slick design. But for Edwards to take a shot at Cam’ron was not something the rapper expected after giving him his props. He knows exactly who to blame for this situation between him and Edwards as he opens up about the ongoing fiasco.
