Philadelphia 76ers guard Markelle Fultz caught wind of Amari Cooper trolling him on Thanksgiving, and it appears that he is a fan.
During Thursday’s win over the Washington Redskins, the Dallas Cowboys receiver scored a touchdown in the third quarter and used his celebration as an opportunity to mock Fultz’s much-maligned free throw form.

Later in the day, Fultz responded to the celebration by posting a video of it to Snapchat with the caption, “Good shot boy.”

Fultz also retweeted a video of Cooper’s celebration to his timeline:

Fultz’s shot right now is nothing short of an abject disaster, and it may even lead to his eventual departure from Philadelphia. He does deserve credit though for handling Cooper’s slight like a pro and not taking it too seriously.
