During basketball matches, it is common for fans sitting courtside to haggle or grab the players to distract them from the game. Johni Broome is not a stranger to such behavior, But in a 2024 game between the Auburn Tigers and Ole Miss Rebels, he had an unforgettable 'fan interaction' that he will cherish forever.
As Broome tried to save the ball from going out of bounds, he suddenly felt a hand grabbing his jersey. Thinking it was some Old Miss fan trying to distract him from the game, he instinctively swatted the fan's hand away and turned around to give him a stern look, only to have his facial expression change from anger to apology within seconds.
Why? Because Johni Broome quickly realized that the fan he swatted away was none other than God's voice himself. No not Gabriel the archangel. It was Morgan Freeman. He was sitting there, minding his own business, probably narrating the game in his head when it happened.
Broome quickly realized the gravity of his mistake, probably thinking he just lost his ticket to enter heaven and was seen apologizing profusely to the legendary actor. It seems like his apology was accepted because, in the end, the Tigers won the game with a 91-77 score.

And then he went to Chruch to confess. (via @DeeWiz)
The Auburns might have won the game but at what cost? To save the game Johni Broome almost lost his place in heaven. From now on he will look twice before even swatting a fly away.
