College Basketball Player Calls Out ESPN on Birthday Email
- ESPN, Thursday, April 7, 2016 5:59 AM
ESPN's funny birthday email to basketball fans uses the line, "You may not be able to hit a contested three, but you're still a first round pick in our book." William & Mary's Connor Burchfield got this email and begged to differ. The best 3-point shooter in college basketball this year responded to the email. "Thank you for the Happy Birthday wish. However, it seems as though you did not do your research when it comes to the statement you made," he wrote. "I am fully capable of hitting contested threes and actually did so at the best rate in all of college basketball."
