The NFL player has got game!
Damar Hamlin showcased his impressive basketball skills over the weekend at a celebrity charity game, organized to support his Chasing M’s Foundation. The Bills safety clinched the game with a dramatic ankle-breaking stepback jumper as time ran out, delighting fans and fellow athletes.
The event featured notable Pittsburgh natives such as Aaron Donald and DeJuan Blair, among others, and successfully raised funds for Hamlin’s foundation, which focuses on the development, health, and safety of youth through sports and educational activities.
The game generated plenty of reactions on social media, with fans and athletes alike commenting on the thrilling finale. Jordon Rooney celebrated the success of the event, tweeting, “Another successful event for Damar’s charity with the perfect ending!!” Le’Veon Bell humorously remarked, “they gon put em in jail for how he did her like that.” Other comments ranged from playful jests about NFL tactics to expressions of surprise at Hamlin’s basketball prowess, with one fan exclaiming, “LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HE CAN HOOP????”
Additionally, Hamlin’s Chasing M’s Foundation offers a $1,000 per year scholarship to high school and college-bound students in the Cincinnati area, a nod to the community where Hamlin’s life was dramatically saved last year.
