In footage tweeted by ABC campaign reporter Zohreen Shah on Wednesday night, a reporter off-camera asked Yang after he shot some hoops which presidential candidate would he challenge to a basketball game if he had to choose.
Well, hes not a presidential candidate. It would be Donald Trump, he said. Because I would school him."
Donald Trump, oh my gosh, Yang went on, pretending how the game between him and the president would go, Hed just be standing there, like, uh, uh.
And Id be like, score left, score right, score jump shot, Yang joked. And hed be like, I dont know what he would do, hed probably gas out at some point.

Zohreen Shah @Zohreen
I messaged @AndrewYang
about how he was debate prepping last week:
He said, Having a mock debate in NY tonight with supporters. Going to play basketball in Houston next week to get loose.
True to his word, Yang threw down on the court today - @GarciaReports
and I joined!

(101,705 posts)He said that it would be something that would be attention-getting. The reporter stopped just short of using the term stunt (that I did) but his message was pretty clear. This makes me very uneasy.
