The missed shot. Basketball's oldest insult: a shot so bad it hits the rim like masonry. NBA Twitter throws the brick at anyone shooting under 30% in the clutch, with the emoji doing the sound effect.
When to use
- +"4 for 19 🧱🧱🧱"
- +"he threw a brick at the backboard"
- +halftime stats, one brick per miss
Avoid when
- −your own team's box score is worse. the brick travels both directions
