Thursday night, Kobe Bryant threw down his first dunk of the season, surprising just about everyone who saw it, including the various celebrities at the game. The NBA on TNT decided to use this knowledge to fire out a pretty good tweet:
Denzel Washington keeps wearing the same tracksuit to sporting events

— Desus Nice (@desusnice) May 3, 2015 It’s impressive Denzel Washington would go out in public in the same outfit that made him an internet punchline. Could you imagine if Michael Jordan went somewhere and broke down in tears in the same suit he wore when the Crying MJ meme began? It just wouldn’t happen.
But as it turns out, this isn’t a case of Denzel Washington just happening to wear the same outfit to two separate events. This has been going on for a while:
March 12, 2015: Lakers vs. Knicks
Okay so maybe it’s just a yearly thing. Right? Right???
September 8, 2014: Lions vs. Giants
Oh my. But before you get worried, there is photo evidence out there that he doesn’t live in this tracksuit. Here he is at an award show in back in November:
So, relax, this is cool. The man has put in some hard hours making some incredible films over the years. If he wants to just chill out at sports events now in something he feels comfortable in, let him.
