*The internet is abuzz over a recent video posted by ESPN that shows the 2019 NBA draftees failing miserably at the game “Name the 90’s,” in which they had to name music, artists, movies and TV shows from the decade.
They were presented with items such as the Easy-Bake Oven, Super Nintendo, music group Destiny’s Child, and movies like “Boyz n the Hood,” NBC Sports reports.
Sadly, this select group of Millennials — who were born between 1998 and 2000 — had a hard time playing along.

Via NBC Sports:
Many of the draftees couldn’t identify the Super Nintendo system, one of the most popular video game systems of all-time and several had no clue who Destiny’s Child is, with Beyonce standing front and center.
People on Twitter were outraged over the clip, particularly with the draftees’ inability to identify Outkast and Queen Bey.
When shown photos of an Easy Bake Oven, some players thought it as a microwave.
They also referred to rapper Ice Cube as “Iceberg” and called the “Boyz N’ The Hood” film he starred in “Bad Boys” (as in the Martin Lawrence and Will Smith’s action film).

Last summer, my cousin (he’s 14) asked if OutKast was a one-hit wonder. I stopped the car and put it in park. I’m still mad, tbh. pic.twitter.com/tuP74vW8xP
