The Timberwolves call out Dave Chappelle's lack of basketball skills: "I'm Brick James"

This week, the Minnesota Timberwolves totally trolled comedian Dave Chappelle, posting a video of the superstar missing an impressive number of shots on the NBA team's own court.

The stand-up was in Minnesota for shows when the team's official Twitter account posted a clip of Chappelle, with a quip referencing his classic Chappelle's Show impression of Rick James.
