Jared McCain Hits Back After Being Trolled For Posing With 2.5-pound Plates In 76ers Photoshoot

Philadelphia 76ers’ guard Jared McCain is getting trolled and he’s not letting is slide! In the team’s photoshoot, McCain posed with 2.5-pound weight plates, pushing the internet to do what it does best: trolling!

But McCain, never one to back down, hilariously fired back!

Before the season begins, McCain was photographed in new black uniforms for Philadelphia. Like the Minnesota Timberwolves, these are cool throwbacks for the upcoming season. You can read more about the jerseys from my colleague Prince Grimes.

The photoshoot for the 76ers was pretty cool and highlighted McCain alongside rookie V.J. Edgecombe as well as Tyrese Maxey, Joel Embiid. All of them look good wearing these throwback black jerseys.

But some fans noticed that McCain was photographed next to 2.5-pound plates.

These are, obviously, very light compared to what a professional athlete would usually use.

If social media has taught us anything, it’s that no matter how much you lift, the internet will always carry the heaviest judgment.
