Former Oklahoma State basketball player Mason Cox just scored the goal of the week in Aussie Rules football

Australia and the USA are having the weirdest cultural exchange in sports. One day after Ben Simmons was selected with the No. 1 overall pick in the NBA Draft, American Mason Cox kicked one of the best goals of the week in the AFL.

You might vaguely remember Cox from Oklahoma State’s 2013-14 team that made the second round of the NCAA tournament. A walk-on, Cox didn’t get a lot of time on the court but since leaving the hardwood he’s made a hell of a name for himself in the Australian Football League playing forward in Aussie Rules for the Collingwood Magpies.

Midway through the season Cox has scored 15 goals, which ranks 50th in the league. That might not sound great, but consider that among rookies he ranks close to the top and he’s playing on a less-than-stellar team. Suddenly he’s a player to watch.

Let’s talk about that accent though, because spending a couple of years in Australia is making it a weird hybrid.
