Markelle Fultz has shot issues

Man, this is hard to watch. Markelle Fultz's shot is just hideous at this point. I really hope he can get back to 100% and return to how he shot the ball in college. pic.twitter.com/qbbI5ZLHcj

Not OK

It’s okay to be white.
It’s okay to be black.
It’s okay to be Asian.
It’s okay to be Hispanic.
It’s okay to be female.
It’s okay to be male.
It’s okay to be gay.
It’s okay to be straight.
It’s okay to be YOU.

But it's NEVER okay to put the toilet paper roll on this way pic.twitter.com/XxB2kClZWj
