"Thought this was Tyga": Hoops fans react to Romelo Hill busting his lip during 10 point performance in OTE

Basketball may not be considered an overly physical sport, but it can get very physical, as a Sunday game between RWE and the Diamond Doves on OTE demonstrated. 5'7 RWE point guard Romelo Hill got hit on his face hard during that game, leading him to bust his lip. However, he still finished in double figures.

Romelo Hill finished with 10 points, two assists, four rebounds, and two steals, making three of his shots from behind the arc. Some in the comments compared him to famous rapper Tyga, especially after he busted his lip.

"Thought this was Tyga 😂😂😂," joked one commenter.

"Bro look like tyga," another person added.

"Why tf did i think that was tyga💀," said another person.

Meanwhile, others were talking more about his short stature. Others, on the other hand, were talking about him busting his lip in the game again.

"yo i actually never notice how short he looks😭he looks 6’1 every other time i see him but here he looks so much shorter," another commenter pointed out.

"Romelo has 3 busted lips this season," joked another commenter.

"Bro knew when he busted his lips, he had to go off😂😂," said another person.
