The Los Angeles Clippers had a bad day at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California. Facing off against the Chicago Bulls, the Clippers faltered to a 99-112 defeat. However, despite the slip-up, something else had the fans cracking at the stadium. Norman Powell might have been in fine form this season. However, public speaking might be an area that he needs to work on in the future.
Celebrating Martin Luther King Day, Powell was vested with the responsibility of addressing a jam-packed crowd. Initially, everything seemed to be going just fine. Powell, who is in his 10th year in the NBA, spoke fluently with the buzzing 15.293 fans. Unfortunately, soon, things went awry.
Botching up the name of Martin Luther King, Powell made a huge blunder. He said, “I want to thank everybody for coming out and celebrating the life of Martin Luther Cream.”

Now, Powell did put up an impressive performance in the face of loss. He dropped 27 points with two assists and two rebounds. But all of his hard work was overshadowed by his slip of the tongue. Soon, the online fans took the opportunity to troll the Clippers’ star.

Well, Norman Powell has surely gone trending for a reason he does not like at all. However, it remains to be seen how well he can perform next and get his team back to winning ways.
