Virginia State Univ. President Makola Abdullah Schools Student in BasketballOne Virginia State University student’s hoop skills got taken to school — literally and figuratively — when he got way more than he bargained for from his college’s president.

On Tuesday afternoon, the account @ifyouwreafo posted a video of himself challenged several different people to guard him outside a school building. As the clip begins, it shows the student challenging a woman in a long, bright-red dress, a fellow male student, and a security guard to cover him as he drops some flashy dribble moves and pivot turns, easily evading their defense.

But then VSU president Makola Abdullah, wearing a suit and definitely not basketball shoes, appears with an aide as the video narrator acknowledges who he is in a stage whisper. As the student approaches holding out the basketball and issuing a challenge, Abdullah transforms in an instant, slapping the ball out of the student’s hands and taking possession, while a few student bystanders cheered him on.

Then — he — took — his — jacket —off.

With ball in hand, the action proceeded swiftly. First, the president boldly checked the ball right off the student’s head — eliciting several ‘Ohhhhs!’ — and then started up. After one deceptively mild crossover, Abdullah rifle-shot the ball right through the student’s widely spread legs as he jetted around him to keep the dribble alive. At this point, the video drops into slow-mo to capture the president fully juking the student into next week with a devastating crossover back the other direction.

Pandemonium then ensues — as the small audience of students erupt in appreciation at the president’s lethal breakdown while some console their now-humbled friend. With class dismissed, as it were, Abdullah calmly puts on his suit jacket and walks away.

Showing that no feelings were hurt — and despite his apparent double ankle fracture — the student, Ajo, posted a reply to put some respect on the president’s name and his fire moves.

Abdullah later posted his own it’s-all-good tweet, a picture of the both of them giving a Covid-appropriate elbow-five, and saying: “You already know it’s all love. I can’t wait until everybody is back on campus.”

Maybe next time, students should do their homework before trying to go one-on-one a school president who conspicuously includes  “Lakers (LeBron) Fan” in their Twitter bio.
