NBA Referee’s Encounter With Chicago Bulls Star Goes Viral
NBA referee Simone Jelks and Chicago Bulls star Ayo Dosunmu inadvertently got to know each other very well this week.
This week has been full of bizarre viral stories in hoops. Between Stephen Curry’s youngest son looking like Steve Kerr and Bronny James getting distracted by some random model, it has been one thing after another.
The fun times didn’t stop there, though.
Yesterday, during a Bulls game, Jelks made headlines when she accidently had this encounter with Dosunmu:

Accidentals obviously happen, and this isn’t a big deal. That said, it definitely made for some hilarious memes.
Will either Jelks or Dosunmu comment on the situation at some point? Time will tell.
