A video about Blake Su?
Yes.
To be more precise, it was about those few dozen seconds from his game-winner against the Heat last night.
Hm?
Blake Su's game-winner only took 4.2 seconds, so why call it a few dozen seconds?
Because this video, which suddenly blew up on YouTube in a very short time, did feature his game-winner. But the main character of the video was not Blake Su.
It was a little boy.
The video showed several kids at home watching the final moments of the Suns versus Heat game on TV. With 4.2 seconds left, Blake Su caught the ball.
He rushed to the middle of the arc and, facing LeBron's block, released an off-balance fadeaway three.
At that exact moment.
A little boy standing in front shouted, "Game over!" Then he turned around, confidently looking away from the screen, spread his arms, and struck a celebration pose early.
Right after that.
Blake Su delivered the killing blow. The three went in, beating LeBron and defeating the Heat.
As soon as the video was posted, it exploded on YouTube in an extremely short time and shot into the top five trending videos.
The little boy's calm confidence, as if he had known the result in advance, made countless viewers, even people who were not basketball fans, think he looked incredibly cool.
For a moment.
Even Blake Su, who had hit the game-winning three and spent the whole day at the center of the spotlight, seemed a little overshadowed by the boy.
The comments under the video completely blew up.
"Did he see the future?"
"Everyone knows 'game over' can mean two things here. Either Blake Su misses the game-winner and the Suns' game is over, or Blake Su makes it and the Heat's game is over.
"That little boy spreading his arms to celebrate clearly meant Blake Su was going to hit the game-winner and end the Heat's game. And right after that, Blake Su actually did it.
"Godly!
"That was actually godly!"
"Haha, what a 'Game over.' What a confident turn. What an early arms-wide celebration. This kid... his aura is off the charts!"
"The key is, he actually got it right."
"Heh, you can tell he's definitely a Blake Su fan. He absolutely believed Blake Su would make that game-winning three. That's why he dared to turn around so confidently."
"That's not necessarily guaranteed, though."
"No matter what, that confident turn was definitely today's best flex. Even Blake Su couldn't beat it."
"Agreed!"
"Insane!"
"..."
The comments under the video exploded, all of them admiring the little boy's king-level flex.
"Hahaha!"
After watching the video, Blake Su could not help bursting into laughter. "Even if you're my fan, don't you trust me a little too much? Whether that game-winner was going in or not.
"At the time.
"Even I wasn't sure.
"But you? The moment I shot it, you yelled 'Game over,' turned around with confidence, and raised your hands to celebrate the win early?!
"What a legend."
That said.
Blake Su was actually very pleased with the little boy's complete trust in him and that whole series of outrageous flexing moves.
So.
In a great mood, Blake Su left a comment under the video:
"I'd call you the ultimate flex king!"
Buzz!
The already-hot video instantly became even more explosive because of Blake Su's own comment.
"Wow! Look who showed up!"
"Hahaha! This kid's flex was so powerful that he even summoned Blake Su himself."
"Haha, Blake Su called the little boy the ultimate flex king. I second that."
"Me too!"
"I raise both hands and feet!"
"Hey, I just realized... this kid's confident turnaway celebration looks a little like 'The General' Arenas turning around after shooting a three."
"Oh! Now that you mention it, it really does."
"Arenas: What? Blake Su, you called this little boy the ultimate flex king? Did you consider my feelings?"
"Nick Young: Ahem, did anyone consider my feelings?"
"Hey, hey. 'The General' turned around confidently and actually made the three. You, Nick Young, failed your flex, so maybe stay out of this."
"Hahaha!"
"So the real MVP wasn't the little boy, but... Nick Young?"
"Heh heh heh, this might be the worst stray shot Nick Young has ever caught."
"..."
Amid all the heated discussion, the video went viral across YouTube.
It gave Blake Su only a small boost in popularity, but the little boy gained countless fans and was hailed by many as a future pillar of basketball.
Also.
Nick Young somehow got dragged into it and caught a stray roast out of nowhere.
The next day.
When Nick Young came across the video and saw those comments, he tilted his head and showed the classic "Black question mark" expression, completely confused.
...
After the Suns finished playing the Heat.
The Suns had three days of rest. On the final day, at 10 a.m., the NBA officially announced the Eastern and Western Conference Players of the Week for the previous week.
In the East, the award went to "Melo" Anthony.
As for the West, there was no suspense. It once again went to Blake Su, who had just hit 15 threes, scored 72 points, and delivered that iconic off-balance game-winner.
He led the team to a 3-0 record last week and delivered the season-defining game that sealed his legend.
Winning Player of the Week was fully deserved.
At the same time... this was also Blake Su's eighth straight Player of the Week award, continuing to extend his record for consecutive weekly honors.
And tonight.
The Suns would host the Grizzlies at home, then travel to face the Grizzlies again tomorrow night on the second night of a back-to-back. Two straight days, one home and one away, both against the Grizzlies.
On top of that.
Tonight would also be George's first start of the season!
