Wondering why Outkast was trending on Twitter Saturday? Well, some NBA draft picks couldn’t identify the famous Atlanta rap duo.
ESPN recently put a few draftees, including Hawks picks Cam Reddish and Jaxson Hayes, to the test with a game of “Name the 90s.”
During the activity, the athletes were required to shuffle through a bunch of picture cards and call out the item.
Several said the draftees’ lack of knowledge made them feel old.
Others cut the NBA newbies some slack. They pointed out most of the young men were born between 1998 and 2000. Outkast was most prominent from the mid-90s to the mid-2000s.
And a few said they were disappointed when they realized Outkast was trending because the draftees didn’t know who they were, not because the group announced a new album.
