It is always fun to see teammates mock each other for games and results from their college days. Orlando Magic guard and former North Carolina star Cole Anthony was the subject of jokes from some of his Magic teammates.
Magic Teammates Troll Cole Anthony
In a recent Orlando Magic Instagram post, the social media team posted a picture of Anthony at North Carolina, seeing as the NCAA Tournament is about to start.
In the comment section, Anthony’s Magic teammates, Paolo Banchero and Wendell Carter Jr., made fun of Anthony for being unable to make the NCAA Tournament.

This is all in good fun from these teammates, especially considering Banchero and Carter attended Duke while Anthony played for the rival Tar Heels.
North Carolina and Duke will play in the NCAA Tournament this season.
Anthony At North Carolina
A former All-ACC performer in Chapel Hill, Anthony played just one season (2019-2020) for former head coach Roy Williams. That season, despite being unable to guide the Tar Heels to the NCAA Tournament, Anthony proved he was ready for the NBA.
He averaged 18.5 points per game, 5.7 rebounds per game, 4.0 assists per game, and 1.3 steals per game. That season would allow him to get drafted by the Magic at pick No. 15 overall in the first round of the 2020 NBA Draft.
Ever since entering the league, he has been an excellent player in Orlando. He has averaged double-digits in four of his five NBA seasons and is still just 24 years old. His entire career is still ahead of him, but the question is whether the Magic can contend for an NBA title.

As things stand, the Magic are in eighth place in the Eastern Conference and are five games below .500. While the team appears to be a ways off from winning a title this season, it is still good to see teammates joking around and having good camaraderie around the building.
