Reporter from 'Afghanistan News' annoys Coach Spoelstra, fans at NBA post-game conference

“Afghanistan News” was trending tonight, but not because of any actual news out of Afghanistan. It appears a reporter identifying himself as an Afghanistan News journalist turned up at the NBC finals post-game conference.

Basketball fans were flummoxed, amused, and merciless. So was Miami Heat coach Erik Spoelstra.

Yo some dude is from the Afghanistan News at this Press Conference.

@PhillipEricksen the floral shirt worn by the Afghanistan news guy might have been worse than all the questions asked in that room.
