My confusion with this occurrence can only be properly expressed with an excess of question marks: ?????. ???????. ??? ????? ?????. So in his third game donning the Pelicans’ navy, red, and gold, and his first not playing garbage time, Cheick “Discount Diallo Cheick” Diallo stepped in for the injured Anthony Davis and just casually put up a 19/10 double-double in thirty minutes. What. More question marks are needed. ????????????
???????
And these weren’t just layups that the defense was giving him because they didn’t care anymore (see my Deyonta Davis 17 points video for reference); these were contested shots for the most part, except when the Clippers didn’t realize you have to step out on Cheick when he’s going to shoot a jumper or he’ll drill it in your face. While I’m wholly confused, I’m also legitimately impressed and excited for this guy. Usually I don’t feel many emotions while making highlight videos other than despair, resentment, and rage, so this is a pleasant change.
I guess we’re all going to have to…cheick our privilege! Haha. Ha.
