They see JJ and ask him to play a 2 on 2 JJ agrees and puts on a Face mask to cover his face and so he can play more comfortably.

"Bro playing in a shiesty he devious for that."

JJ picks up the ball and he is cooking up he's made every shot mostly from mid range or taking advantage of his strength and athletic gifts windmill dunks post fadeaways and even some post hooks. JJ eventually wins the game with a 3 point shot.

"Damn ski mask cooked the shit outta of us."
