As many of these college athletes are aspiring professionals, they lay it all on the field. However, not every game has the same intensity, and that is where the support of the fans can do wonders.

Since the college games are so competitive, most college teams have huge, passionate and loyal fan bases. One of those fans is an NBA champion who won his NBA ring in 2016. In a recent story that he posted on Instagram, the NBA icon took a subtle jibe at ASU basketball fans.

2016 NBA Champion?s subtle jibe at ASU basketball fans

Things are not looking too great for the Sun Devils in the new college football season. After suffering a brutal 29-0 loss to Fresno State yesterday, many ASU fans started diverting their attention from the match during the finishing stages.

As the ASU fans couldn?t be more interested in the thrashing that the Sun Devils were getting, 2016 NBA champion Richard Jefferson posted a hilarious Instagram story addressing the incident. In the story he posts, an ASU fan can be seen tuning into the Colorado-CSU match. The former NBA star says on his post, ?ASU fans do this during basketball season too.?.

Fans must understand that these college athletes are giving it their all for a shot at a better life. However, it?s a game and fans always want to see an exciting match. Despite the best efforts of coaches and athletes, there?s no exact formula to have an exciting match.

The 43-year-old seems to understand the plight of the college athletes as he draws parallels to his NBA career.
