With the 11th pick of the NBA Draft, the Portland Trail Blazers selected Washington State’s Cedric Coward. When discussing the pick ESPN’s Malika Andrews seemed to have someone else on her mind.
Shortly after the pick was made, Andrews noted that the Blazers had selected Colin Cowherd.
Colin Cowherd was just drafted, according to Malika Andrews. 🏀🎙️ #NBADraft pic.twitter.com/kTWU9GXvQ5

Naturally, a few jokes were told after this mistake.
“So the Portland Trail Blazers select Colin Cowherd here. This is a young man with the ultimate bet-on-yourself story.” 😭 pic.twitter.com/SwM0SUtc7T

In all honesty, Colin Cowherd wasn’t on my big board: pic.twitter.com/unu0JFRUev

Cowherd himself even got in on the fun.
Apparently, I made a hell of an impact in Portland.

As it turned out, Coward (not Cowherd) was part of a later trade to the Memphis Grizzlies.
