Coach gives player impossible tasksfrom @nick.knows.ball
[01]
Overview
The creator performs a comedic skit from the point of view of a basketball player whose coach despises him. He alternates between playing the coach, who gives him a series of increasingly absurd and dangerous in-game assignments, and the player, who reacts with silent, wide-eyed horror to each command.
