Imagine showing up for a heartfelt charity event, only to find yourself the victim of an elaborate prank. That’s exactly what happened to former LA Clippers guard Terance Mann, thanks to the mischievous minds of Cameron Brink and Anthony Davis.
Davis, in his new TBS show “Foul Play with Anthony Davis,” orchestrated a fake charity event called “Operation Slam Dunk,” transforming a high school gym into a convincing setting for a good cause gone hilariously wrong.
Mann arrived with an oversized check, ready to support young athletes overcoming adversity. Little did he know, he was about to become the star of a meticulously planned prank.
Brink was Davis’ perfect accomplice
It all began with the WNBA star delivering a touching speech about a young athlete, Mia Hayes, who was supposedly recovering from an ACL injury. When Mia rolled onto the stage in a wheelchair, the audience erupted in applause.
But the heartwarming moment quickly turned to chaos. Mia’s wheelchair suddenly rolled off the stage, causing gasps and panic. As everyone rushed to help, Brink seized the opportunity to throw Mann under the bus.
“Terance was by the wheelchair,” an audience member pointed out. Brink then delivered the knockout blow: “Yeah, he was. He was over there with it. Terance. Did you put on the brake? Did she just roll?”
Mann knew how to laugh at himself
To add insult to injury, organizers asked Mann to help pay for Mia’s “worsened” injuries. Davis, with the Dallas Mavericks from a few weeks now, chimed in, jokingly suggesting the father ask for Lakers courtside seats, while reminding everyone Mann was a Clipper.
After letting Mann sweat for a while, Brink and Davis finally revealed the truth. The charity, Mia’s injury, and the entire event were all staged. Mann, initially shocked, burst into laughter, realizing he had been thoroughly pranked. Despite being the target of the elaborate joke, he took it in stride, proving he could laugh at himself.
