Callum Sinclair Gave ‘NBA 2K19’ His Best Shot (& We Made It As Difficult As Possible)
Learn more.
Most sports stars pride themselves on their focus, their stamina in the face of ultimate pressure, and their dedication to the game. If you’re looking for someone who embodies that both in real life and in the imaginary world of NBA 2K19, look no further than AFL player Callum Sinclair, who somehow survived Punkee’s crazy distractions.
#1 Why Is He Saying No To Dogs?
Yeah, look, I can acknowledge that, when you’re trying to shoot hoops on your Xbox, a dog crawling all over you MAY be slightly distracting. But did anyone ever think that Callum’s repeated yells of “NO, NO, NO, NO” might’ve distracted the dog from trying to do its work, which is to LOVE HIM???
Regardless, big ups to a man who can somehow hold his focus on the TV while a curious snoot explores some confetti.
#2 The Confidence Of A Man Shooting Both Real & Virtual Hoops Is Phenomenal
Do you remember when you would aim a basketball backwards over your head and, for a split second, you would have that ~swagger~ because you truly believed that it might go into the hoop? Anyway, yeah, you can see that exact look in Callum Sinclair’s eyes as he doesn’t miss a BEAT between catching that teeny basketball, and…uh, missing it. Nearly though!
#3 You Can Take The Man Outta The AFL, But Of Course He Is Gonna Catch A Footy
Playing across codes, and even sports, is admirable, even if you are playing Xbox. One second, Callum is fixated on the screen, and then – BOOM! – out of nowhere, a footy flies through the air. The man doesn’t flinch – he catches it, spins it, and is ready to handball.
The question arises: is Callum Sinclair Australia’s least distractible person? What on earth is going to tear this man away from the task at hand? Nothing, that’s what.
#4 OK, Maybe This Will Get Him…An Extremely Loud And Shocking Noise At Close Range!
So far, nothing has distracted Callum. A small dog, a small basketball and a very fast and aggressive footy throw has only made him stronger. So, it’s time, to try the “Heart Attack Bonus Level!” where we fire a confetti cannon right next to him. Did it work? Well…not really. He just looked really, really, REALLY done.
#5 I Guess We Can Crown Him The World’s Least-Bothered Person Now??
Is Callum Sinclair very relaxed, very good at NBA 2K19, or just unable to be cruelly distracted? Or all of the above? If we learnt anything today, it could just be that nothing can come between Callum and his Xbox. Not even a puppy. ESPECIALLY not a puppy.
