"I just got trampled by a [basketball] player," the teenager captioned her IG stories.

"It was really cool. Also, I just saw my life flash before my eyes. If I wouldn't have ducked, I would've been out, down for the count. I think I would've got a broken neck... It's honestly really entertaining. It really spiced up the day." Meanwhile, People reported that the athlete himself had also reposted the clip but with a different perspective as Crowder put "hurt bad AF" on his Instagram stories.

The publication also mentioned Iman Shumpert, NBA player and "Dancing With the Stars" Season 30 champion, who chimed in and jokingly told Siwa, "You were supposed to catch him and keep him safe," on his IG stories as well.

However, some of the quote tweets were making light of the situation by inserting their variations of humor, such as this person who claimed that "JoJo Siwa could probably shoulder tackle Jae Crowder."
