— … And Ball Hogs captain Brian Scalabrine, in tribute to his coach, attempted the underhand shot during their game. Per Barry’s tweet, the White Mamba needs more practice at it.
The underhand is a skill @Scalabrine we will work on it going forward. #underhand #big3

— According to his timeline, this fan tweeted more Monday night about The Bachelorette than about BIG3, but at least he recognized which had the greater entertainment value.
The #BIG3 is way more entertaining tonight than #TheBacheloretteFinale ??
