In a recent episode of Gil's Arena, the famous rapper Symba joined the crew for a special Monday Night Football tailgate stream, sharing a humorous and unexpected tale about R. Kelly's basketball prowess. According to Symba, R. Kelly wasn't just a music legend but also boasted some serious hooping skills on the court.

Symba recounted a time when he played against R. Kelly, who had an entire team dedicated to rebounding and passing him the ball. The strategy was simple: R. Kelly would shoot from anywhere on the court, often from half-court, and his team would ensure he got another chance if he missed. The dedication of his teammates to this plan was impressive, making sure that R. Kelly could consistently "shoot that thing" and show off his skills.

The story took an even funnier turn when Rashad and Kenyon, part of the Gil's Arena crew, reminisced about similar experiences. Kenyon shared a memory from a celebrity game involving Floyd "Money" Mayweather Jr. Floyd, much like R. Kelly, would constantly shoot the ball, with his teammates encouraging him with cheers of "You got it champ, let's go champ." This camaraderie and support added to the light-hearted and entertaining atmosphere of the game.
