Oh boy, the guys at Shaqtin' A Fool will surely have a field day on Pascal Siakam's blunder of epic proportions on Sunday. Apart from committing a crucial double-dribble violation against the New York Knicks, the 27-year-old Toronto Raptors forward even had the gall to request for a Coach's Challenge after the call was made.

Down by two with under 20 seconds remaining in regulation, the Raptors had a chance to tie the game on the fast break after Kyle Lowry's clutch steal. Lowry gave the rock up to a trailing Siakam, who somehow forgot one of the most basic rules of basketball.
That turnover cost the Raptors greatly, as they eventually lost the game, 102-96. Siakam finished with 16 points, seven assists, and two blocks in 36 minutes. It didn't take long for the one-time All-Star to get lambasted online for his epic brain fart moment.
Siakam, after all, hasn't exactly lived up on the second year of his $130 million maximum contract extension with the Raptors.
To be fair, Pascal Siakam looked like he got flustered on the play and was confused on whether to give the rock up to wide-open Raptors teammate Gary Trent Jr. on the corner. But the fact that he requested a coach's challenge on such an obvious violation is certainly not a good look for him.
