After fighting a teammate on the bench, throwing a towel at his head coach and whining for a trade since last summer, NBA forward Markieff Morris finally got what he wanted Thursday in a move from the Phoenix Suns to the Washington Wizards.
He did not exactly nail his cool-guy exit, however.

After being notified of his trade, Morris was filmed leaving the Suns' facility on a hoverboard. He looked real cool, just sailin' away and not lookin' back. No regrets, baby -- nothing behind me, everything in front. A rolling stone gathers no moss, ya dig?
Then came a speedbump.

Thankfully, Morris appeared prepared for the roadblock and hopped off his hoverboard in time to avoid injury. But he still refused to glance back at the troubled tenure in Phoenix he was finally leaving behind. Better yet, he didn't even look down to pick up the hoverboard -- someone else did that for him.
The lesson, yet again: Even if you're a knucklehead, it's good to be rich.
