JJJ got called for staging with Joe Biden

President Joe Biden recently celebrated Cinco de Mayo with former UCLA basketball star Jaime Jaquez Jr. at the White House. During the event, Jaquez, now a Miami Heat point guard, had the honor of introducing President Biden, acknowledging the proud and accomplished Mexican-Americans who paved the way for him. 

Jaquez expressed his pride in continuing their legacy and upholding the traditions of hard work, a strong moral code, and the importance of family that are emblematic of the Mexican-American community. 

However, it was not long for the NBA fans to catch the gaze of the six feet six tall California born youngster through the livestream. Soon after the videos were posted on X/Twitter, fans went on to troll Jaquez Jr with MyCareer references. 

A fan wrote: “MyCareer side quest”
