Sports celebrities commenting on each other’s posts can often be very entertaining for fans. This was the case when Dwayne Johnson‘s latest post invited an NBA star’s comment. The post was mainly about The Rock’s love for fishing. However, NBA assistant coach Phil Handy took a moment to comment on something that he found oddly interesting in the video.

The California-born former basketball player watched Johnson’s video till the end. After completing it, he came up with an interesting comment regarding what Johnson said in the video. Soon after the comment was posted, fans started liking Handy’s comment, showing they found his reply to the video to be in good humor.

What did Handy say to Dwayne Johnson?

On the 4th of July this year, Johnson took time out to make a video about one of his favorite hobbies – fishing. Johnson doesn’t catch fish to put them on a plate. Instead, he releases them back into the lake. According to him, it helps the fish to open up their gills every once in a while. In the Independence Day post, Johnson also talked about how he is grateful for the lake and elaborated on how he contributes towards sustaining it. He did so while showing off his amazing physique, which Phil Handy had something to say about.

The former NBA star said, “Rock out here Flexin on the lake lol.” Although Johnson hasn’t replied to Handy’s comment yet, he also hasn’t stopped anyone from having a good laugh. The mention of ‘lake’ in Handy’s comment must have directed our minds to the rumors that the assistant coach might be leaving his NBA team soon. But things appear to be different now.
