Ron Harper has no idea what The Onion is all about

The Onion is not real news. The Onion is purely satire. Most everyone online knows that.

However, there are some people that don’t know that. There’s a fantastic Tumblr called Literally Unbelievable that lampoons some of those people. Unfortunately, one of those people is former five-time NBA Champion Ron Harper, who took this articles from Onion Sports a little too seriously.

Oh…that is unfortunate. But that’s what makes satire great – you could totally imagine some of it actually happening. Couldn’t you see Ron Harper checking out at the grocery store, striking up a conversation with his cashier, and casually mentioning that he was on the Dream Team?
