In a bizarre turn of events, Auburn’s head basketball coach Bruce Pearl has found himself embroiled in a war of words with none other than Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. The unlikely feud started when Khamenei made a wild claim in English on Twitter, accusing Pearl of stealing his signature dance move and using it during games.
Pearl wasted no time in firing back, calling out the supreme leader in a series of hilarious tweets. In one tweet, he wrote, “I may not speak Farsi, but I speak the universal language of basketball. And let me tell you, Ayatollah, my dance moves are all original. You can’t copyright swag, baby!”
The back-and-forth between Pearl and Khamenei quickly went viral, with fans and media outlets alike weighing in on the absurdity of the situation. Some even speculated that the two could settle their differences on the court in a one-on-one dance-off.
When asked for comment on the feud, Pearl’s assistant coach, Larry “Luscious” Johnson, had this to say: “Bruce is a man of integrity and honor. He would never steal a dance move, especially not from a world leader. This whole situation is just bananas.”
Meanwhile, Khamenei’s spokesman, Mohammad “Smooth Operator” Sharif, retorted with his own statement: “The Ayatollah is a master dancer, and he takes his moves very seriously. He will not stand for this blatant theft of intellectual property. We demand an apology from Coach Pearl immediately.”
As the drama continues to unfold, one thing is for certain: this unlikely feud has captured the attention of the world.
