JACKSONVILLE, FL- “The player just didn’t hustle,” said the still grieving parents of 15 year old Bimmy Holstat, who peacefully passed away in a hospital bed after Wednesday’’s game. “Bim didn’t ask him to dunk from the free throw line. That is not impressive.”

Todd Holstat tells Pine Jockeys that Bimmy really started developing hope after commenting on one of Gordon’s Youtube videos. “Someone had taken some footage of the Magic / Bulls game a few days ago and threw Smash Mouth’s ‘Allstar’ on top of it. That is when we suggested he reach out to the NBA player.”

Bimmy sent a tweet from his personal account, @p00sieWr3ckrz0r, with the intent of going viral. At the time of this publication, the tweet has two likes and a retweet from an egg avatar. Bimmy’s mother, Sarah Holstat, remained certain that Gordon had seen it. “Why have a tweeter (sic) if you’re not gonna check it for elaborate requests from entitled dying kids?”

The Orlando Magic could not be reached for comment. The Holstats state that Bimmy’s illness, a rare form of cystic fibrosis, never got in the way of his ability to be a snotty, ungrateful, little shit.
