Over the years, the sports universe has witnessed different sets of fanbase coming together for a moment of banter on social media. Without a doubt, the NBA fans and the soccer fans are possibly the most closely-knit fanbase ever. Also, players from either sport do not shy away from saying anything about each other on social media. Last season, the MLS fans witnessed a funny and bizarre moment while LA Galaxy was facing Toronto FC.

Soccer veteran, Chicharito Hernandez was at the center of the incident.

At that time, the Mexican soccer star received quite a mixed response from the fans on social media. However, several months later, an ex-NBA star relived the moment on Twitter.

Who commented on which Chicharito – LA Galaxy moment?

The funny moment on the soccer pitch took place last season between Chicharito Hernandez and three players from Toronto. Last September, the two soccer giants faced each other during what turned out to be a nail-biting draw. That game ended in a 2-2 draw. Toronto’s Bernardeschi scored a late penalty that seemingly sealed the game.

However, Riqui Puig and LA Galaxy had other plans. The former FC Barcelona player banged in an equalizer during the dying minutes of the game. However, there was a moment when three Toronto players surrounded Chicharito. From the looks of it, they were not quite happy with him. But as soon as they held him, the Mexican surprisingly fell to the ground as if they manhandled him.

Chicharito was involved in a fantastic offseason venture; despite a late start to his MLS season

During the off-season, Chicharito was part of quite an exciting soccer venture. The Mexican soccer veteran played one game for Porcinos FC in Gerard Pique’s Kings League. While he never featured again, his name was still in-and-around big soccer stars like Sergio Aguero, Iker Casillas, and many more. Gerard Pique ended up making a huge $3 million profit from his unique soccer venture’s ‘final four’ at Camp Nou.

Despite playing in the pre-season game, Chicharito did not function in a league game till April. This season, he has played a total of three games and scored and assisted one goal. His team, LA Galaxy, hasn’t had the brightest start to their season either. The LA-based soccer club is #13 in the Western Conference of the MLS.
