Collin Sexton was locked in 😂

Cam Christie is trying to bring the ball upcourt. Collin Sexton is right there with him, shuffling, yelling and making an ordinary trip toward the offense look distinctly uncomfortable.

Bleacher Report's Short, titled "Collin Sexton was locked in 😂", puts the defender's expression at the center of the action. It drew more than 700,000 views in 23 hours, far beyond the channel's usual Shorts start. The comments were also more than five times as busy as a usual first day.

Underneath the facial theatrics is a basketball point. The commentator explains that close pressure disrupts an offense before it can organize: "Now you can't get into your set offense, you can't find an open man." The footage includes a visually edited "LAKERS" label on Sexton's jersey.

Viewers are discussing the pleasure Sexton seems to take in defending, recalling his longstanding intensity and proposing the clip as a new meme.

Elsewhere on Bleacher Report, the smaller interruptions are drawing attention too: a timeout exchange involving LaMelo Ball and Rudy Gobert, and Darius Garland missing the opening tip-off while pulling his hair back.
