Justin Timberlake casually draining half-court shots at Wizards’ practice led to TMZ asking Joey Fatone an interesting question: Who would win in a basketball game between *NSYNC and The Backstreet Boys?
Joey Fatone said *NSYNC would beat The Backstreet Boys in basketball. He’s wrong.
Sorry, Joey.
James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.
Fatone was emphatic on his answer:
“We could probably kick their ass. I know so. There’s no think so. You tell that to Nick Carter.”
Now, as he mentioned in the TMZ story, there were a series of basketball games between the two boy bands in the late ‘90s, but Fatone casually forgot to mention who won those games. Apparently there were a series of *NSYNC vs. Backstreet games in the past — but only footage of this one remains. It’s from Germany in 1997, in a game The Backsteet Boys won.
I’ll spare you all seven parts of this monster, but here’s the conclusion:
Who you got?
