What started as admiration led to participation on Sunday afternoon. ESPN’s Darren Rovell loved the idea about the Atlanta Hawks brining former AND1 player Hot Sauce back who schools kids on the court in 50 seconds. After some Twitter pressure, Rovell got offered by the Hawks a chance to play in this 1×1 matchup with Hot Sauce. Now, if you ever seen video or images of Rovell playing each defense, it’s not pretty at all. The dude is very bad, and he’s been on the embarrassing end before in different scenarios. This did not end well for Rovell.

Hot Sauce does him up pretty well from the first time he touches the ball. It’s not surprising considering Rovell is lumbering at him with his back curved and his head down. Hot Sauce knew there wasn’t much to this one, and he delivered a few moves before ending it with an amazing one that put Rovell on the floor at Phillips Arena. Kudos to Darren for following through on this too. He could have easily said ‘No’ and stringed it along. It takes some balls to go out there, even on a Sunday game versus Chicago, and do something he might result in embarrassment.
