Corey Kispert recently went a bit viral on social media, and the moment came just as the Washington Wizards were putting the finishing touches on a win over the Indiana Pacers.
The moment occurred as forward Davis Bertans hit a 3-pointer in overtime on Friday to give the Wizards the lead. Washington eventually took the 135-134 victory behind the shot to improve to 2-0 on the season as Kispert found himself trending afterward.
After Bertans hit the shot, he was immediately greeted by his teammates on the court. Kispert was among those that congratulated him but the rookie, instead, gave him a look that quickly went viral.

Kispert recently offered his reaction to the viral moment.
I remember giving him the look and then I was going through Instagram and saw it. He was a bad man, that was a crazy shot. I had to make sure he knew about it.
The contest also marked the debut of Kispert, who logged 10 minutes in the win. He registered two points, one rebound, one assist and one steal during his first action with the Wizards. He notched his first basket on a drive to the rim, set up by a nice fake.
Kispert believes his first minutes can help him continue to develop.
It was great to get in there and just kind of get my feet wet. I made good plays, made bad plays. Did good things, made mistakes. Now it’s all about growing and building and getting better each time I get out there.
First career bucket for @corey_kispert! 👏👏#DCAboveAll pic.twitter.com/g8Bk29DlFQ

Kispert impressed during training camp with his ability to space the floor and score on offense. While he has yet to really crack the rotation, he could be called upon in certain situations as the season progresses.
In the meantime, we may just continue to see his viral facial expressions.
