With the NBA on pause due to the coronavirus outbreak, players have taken their talents to other platforms to maintain that completive edge while on lockdown.

Gaming has been a go-to for many athletes across the country.

Video games have been such a mainstay for players during this down time that celebrity tournaments and personal streaming accounts have been created, allowing those like Suns players Devin Booker and Deandre Ayton and Cardinals wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins to show off their skills in a virtual way.

Unfortunately, gaming doesn’t always go the way you intend it. You’re not always going to pick up that W.

Just ask New Orleans Pelicans guard Josh Hart, who experienced the wrong side of Call of Duty this weekend.

After getting popped early on in his stream, Hart wasted little time going into full rage-quit mode while fellow NBA hooper Zach LaVine took in the massacre and got some laughs.

What looked like a calm exit from the start, turned into anything but as Hart went from unplugging his keyboard to giving no regard for technological life, smashing it to bits.

To make sure the thing was as dead as he was in the Search and Destroy matchup, Hart finished off the beating by throwing the keyboard clear into the other room.

Out of sight, out of mind. Kinda.
