A
new game sweeping the NBA world is keeping players occupied off the
court! Last season, Clippers center DeAndre Jordan started the craze
which he called ‘Got Em’.
Any time a player falls asleep on the plane or bus, they did so at
their own risk. As soon as a player fell asleep, their teammates would
snap a pic and tweet it to all their followers.
From that moment, the craze has caught on and now the players are
doing everything they can to try and not be caught sleeping on the plane
– everything from wrapping a blanket around their heads to setting
booby traps and getting the flight attendant to warn them about their
teammates.
It has also passed from the Clippers to other teams, as Minnesota and
Team USA joined in. As well as being a fun thing to do and a way to
pass the time for the players, the players revealed that it actually
helps them on the court and improves their game.
One player said: ‘It’s a fun thing to be part of, everyone is on the
plane waiting for someone to fall asleep so we can “get em”.
‘We have that brotherly connection and that passes on to the court, it definitely helps with the chemistry and the game.’
