Nowadays, people will do anything for clicks and views. Some try to pull off crazy stunts, while some prank unknowing people.
Ray was not happy
A basketball fan decided to fart prank people at a supermarket just for kicks. While going around the market, he squeezed a fart simulator alongside strangers. As expected, one of them was pissed and confronted the kid. It so happened that the man was former NBA star Ray Allen .
"You following me around, trying to do some bull*** over here," Allen told the kid. "I know you hear me. Keep it moving. Come on! And you're still recording. I'm not cool with that."
The two-time NBA champion's reaction was calm and cool. He didn't wild out or do anything crazy. Ray confronted the kid and told him he wasn't cool being recorded without his consent.
Meanwhile, the prankster felt bad about his antics, as he didn't realize he was trolling one of the best shooters in NBA history.
"I didn't even know it was Ray Allen until you told me. I feel bad because he thinks the reason we're doing this is because he's Ray Allen, but I didn't even know he was Ray Allen," he explained.

Channeling your emotions
If there's anyone who knows how to control his emotions, it's Ray-Ray. In Game 6 of the 2013 NBA Finals, 'Jesus Shuttleworth' knocked down a clutch 3-pointer to tie the game with 5.2 seconds left.
The Miami Heat and Boston Celtics icon seemed calm and collected at that moment. It felt like he was just going through the mechanics of a shot he practiced a million times. But as it turns out, there was a lot of anger charting through his veins. In the back of his mind was a heartbreaking loss in 2001 .
"I was so pissed because the game wasn't over with yet," Allen said . "I just remember 2001 when we lost to Philadelphia, the ropes came out, and they celebrated the Eastern Conference championships early. That was going through my mind watching the yellow ropes come out, and seeing the trophy. I was so pissed because the game wasn't over with yet. That's what happened in 2013, too, when they were assuming that the Spurs were going to win."
It may be second nature for Allen to control his emotions. That's why when he noticed a bunch of kids trolling him, he kept his calm and confronted them in a peaceful manner. The problem took care of itself, and the kids never bothered Ray again.
