druski nba all star game
ESPN
Clearly keen on maintaining the attention of the youth, both the NFL and the NBA featured social media personality Druski in their recent showpiece weekends. Druski presented an award at the NFL Honors prior to the Super Bowl and played in the NBA’s All-Star Celebrity Game.
In both of Druski’s recent major mainstream appearances, however, he’s rubbed much of the people watching them the wrong with his antics — or, if you’ve been on social media at any point in the last week, is otherwise known as “jestermaxxing.” There is a lot that’s deeply wrong with the current internet culture and the effects it’s having on young men, but you’ve got to give credit where it’s do: jestermaxxxing in an indisputably hilarious term (as are most of those brainrot phrase, if we’re being honest).
During the NBA’s Celebrity All-Star Game in Los Angeles on Saturday, Druski went viral for chucking a ball into the crowd and having a faux concerned reaction afterwards. Similar to deliberately mispronouncing Jaxson Smith-Njigba’s name while announcing he’s won Offensive Player of the Year, much of the sports world was left wondering why they’ve been forced to endure so much Druski lately.
Sports fans are fed up with Druski after he followed up his NFL Honors disrespect of Jaxson Smith-Njigba with NBA All-Star Game antics

From being compared to Kevin Hart to being called an industry plant, sports fans seem to be generally fed up with Druski’s nonsense.
“Bro I’m tired of seeing Druski in every f—— sports event,” one tweet said.
“This is embarrassing. Social media is not the real world. Stop incorporating influencers and social media personality figures. It doesn’t translate into ratings or entertainment really. Nobody knows who these people are and they’re usually just an embarrassment,” a second added.
“His skits are great but you can tell he’s an absolute herb outside of those videos,” a third remarked.
“His skits are funny but this is doing too much.”
“This dude is zero percent funny yet makes as much money as good comedians.”
Druski, real names Drew Desbordes rose to prominence in the late 2010s through viral Instagram sketches and improvised livestreams, particularly via his “Coulda Been Records” parody auditions. He has since expanded into stand-up comedy, minor television roles, hosting gigs, and live tours, and has amassed over 30 million followers across Instagram, Youtube, Twitter, and TikTok.
