Markelle Fultz takes Amari Cooper's savage free throw mocking in stride

Share

Markelle Fultz has terrible shooting form, but at least he has a good sense of humor.

The Philadelphia 76ers guard unexpectedly made the news Thursday thanks to Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper, who appeared to mock Fultz after scoring a touchdown in a Thanksgiving Day matchup with the Washington Redskins.

Yup, Cooper really imitated Fultz's cringeworthy new free throw routine -- and did a pretty good job.

In fact, Cooper was so spot-on that even Fultz himself had to tip his cap to the new Cowboys wideout, retweeting a video of the celebration and posting a Snapchat video from his couch.

Fultz probably didn't love getting put on blast on national television (by a guy with no real ties to Philly or the Sixers), but at least he was a good sport about it.

That or he just needed to find a way to pass the time -- the 20-year-old is out indefinitely (again) as he deals with a wrist injury.
