Toronto Raptors star Scottie Barnes has always been known for his versatility on the basketball court, but fans recently got a glimpse of his skills—or lack thereof—on rollerblades. A viral video captured Barnes casually gliding through the streets of Florida, but according to eyewitnesses, the smooth ride wasn’t exactly how things started.
The fan claimed that Barnes had taken a spill moments earlier, though no footage of the fall has been released. Whether it was a minor stumble or a full wipeout remains unclear, but the Raptors forward didn’t let it stop him from continuing his ride.

Barnes, who has been enjoying his offseason after Toronto’s 30-52 finish, seemed unfazed by the alleged mishap. Fans online had a field day with the clip, joking that his rollerblading skills might need as much work as the Raptors’ rebuilding efforts.
The 2024-25 season was a challenging one for Toronto, but Barnes remained a bright spot, averaging 19.3 points, 7.7 rebounds, and 5.8 assists. Despite injuries disrupting his rhythm, he continues to be the face of the franchise.
His rollerblading adventure is just another example of his laid-back personality, which has made him a fan favorite in Toronto. Whether he’s dancing on the sidelines, cracking jokes in interviews, or now rollerblading through the streets, Barnes always finds ways to entertain.
