Win Butler Of Arcade Fire Spars Matt Bonner On The Basketball Court (VIDEO)

Here's a video of Arcade Fire's "brilliant" basketballer Win Butler going up against his old buddy from the San Antonio Spurs, indie-music-listening, Napoleon Dynamite-impersonating Matt Bonner, for a charity game hosted by the University of Toronto. Win manages to show Bonner up at first, but winds up falling and eventually losing the game. Not bad for a musician. Pretty bad for a basketball-thief.

I remember when I saw the Hold Steady in July of 2010 here in Toronto. Matt Bonner, who no longer played for the Raptors, introduced the band to a massive ovation. This town loves Matt Bonner.
