Machine that produces bricks inspires NBA player roasting
Jul 20, 2017, 7:07 PM
A missed shot in basketball has many names.
An airball is a shot that doesn’t touch the basket or backboard, hence only hitting air. A rim rejection is when a player tries to slam one down but didn’t jump quite high enough. A brick is typically a missed shot that hits the rim.
So, naturally, when a totally legit and informative article by Business Insider hit Twitter describing a brick producing machine, people had some fun with it.
This machine can produce 300 bricks a minute https://t.co/KSk4ReSVjc pic.twitter.com/mNPQawaWra

Someone even took the time to create a nice image of Toronto Raptors’ DeMar DeRozan literally shooting bricks, because of course they did.
