We have seen some of the greatest fan moments. But that is nothing compared to what Scottie Barnes got to taste recently. The Toronto Raptors young star played his part in the team’s comeback against the Orlando Magic only to be drawn as a bizarre hand drawing by a fan.
Barnes recently took to his Instagram account to share one of the many DMs from his fans. In the post, uploaded a screenshot of the drawing his fan sent to him. Although it was a hilariously bizarre sketch and it was nowhere near to how Barnes looks. He captioned his story- “they trolling?”

Earlier, despite not having a flashy night, he contributed significantly with a double-double of 17 points, 11 rebounds, and eight assists. More importantly, Barnes anchored the team defensively and led the team as a leader on the court. At a crucial moment, he made a standout play by stealing the ball from Paolo Banchero in transition, which energized his team and highlighted his defensive prowess.
Throughout the game, Barnes was instrumental in rallying the Raptors after a slow start. By helping to set the tone during the second quarter, he paired well with emerging talents Gradey Dick and the efficient RJ Barrett. However, fans couldn’t stop reacting to his viral post on Instagram and were flooded with crazy comments.
