Brian Scalabrine answered the challenge of NYC streetball's George 'The Messiah' Papoutsis
Briefly

Brian Scalabrine's visit to New York coincided with the Celtics’ game against the Nets, leading to a one-on-one challenge from social media personality George Papoutsis. The match, filled with playful trash-talking, saw Scalabrine, a former NBA player, dominate the court, winning 11-0. Following the competition, both players showcased sportsmanship by posing for a photo together, with Papoutsis expressing admiration for Scalabrine's participation. The event highlights the intersection of traditional basketball culture with modern social media celebrity.
Amid an incredible amount of trash-talking, the two played what could be described as a basketball game (along with a fair amount of near-wrestling).
"I'm going to be in New York in Saturday, so I'm going to pull up," Scalabrine replied seeing the challenge.
