Wayne Simmonds, Claude Giroux pull off hockey stick alley-oop vs. Globetrotters (Video)
Wayne Simmonds and Claude Giroux of the Philadelphia Flyers traded their skates for sneakers on Sunday at Wells Fargo Center, taking on the Harlem Globetrotters.
But they still brought a stick.
Check out these two ballers … OK, check out a baller as well as Claude Giroux … as they pull off the hockey stick alley-oop against the Globetrotters.
Hey, if Manute Bol could play hockey …
The players admitted to some nerves before the exhibition game that we'll just go ahead and assume the Globetrotters won.
“I can play hockey in front of 20,000 people but I can’t even try to dunk a ball in front of … I don’t even know how many people were out there,” said Simmonds, who dunked in the game and during that little hockey stick exhibition.
Scott Hartnell also attended the game but did not play because, in the words of Giroux, he’s terrible at basketball.
