Dennis, known best for his NBA 2K content, can actually play ball and kept things close against the high school star, but she was very clutch at shooting. This win by a female high school star over a grown man who is no pushover when it comes to hoops has gotten some fans talking:
"She cooked him," said one fan on X.
"I told ya'll, all Americans are significantly better than HBCU hoopers. These are kids getting NIL in the upper 6 and 7 figures. They aren't comparable to HBCU ballers who might get NIL if she look good or if he knows how to market himself," another X commenter pointed out.
"Don’t let the sexist virgins confuse you. she can hoop🔥🔥," another person reminded people.
However, there were still a few non-believers who thought that the streamer was going easy on Bella Hines.
"Unc duke didn't wanna hurt her ego 😭," one fan claimed.
"The fact that a streamer can even score on you period as a pro …. Yikes," said another commenter.
"He cooking her with streetwear on lol," added another commenter.
Bella Hines got Duke Dennis to bite on a pump fake and even shot a three over him, while Dennis showed he can play as he scored some on the paint and even hit a 3 against a five-star.
Hines will be one of four five-star recruits heading to LSU and play for Kim Mulkey's Tigers. The other three include ZaKiyah Johnson, Grace Knox and Divine Bourrage.
