On Tuesday, the Golden State Warriors played host to their inner-state counterpart Los Angeles Angels, allowing a slew of the baseballers to hang out at their team practice. Pretty cool of them, if you ask me.

Among those in attendance were some big names like Albert Pujols and Mike Trout, and let’s just say, who’s really surprised that the utter freak of an athlete that is Mike Trout has some decent game when it comes to the hardwood, too.
Not only did the Angels’ slugger show off his ability to throw down a decent dunk at will…
That would be Albert Pujols missing, Mile Trout dunking. Just another day at @warriors practice. #Angels #KTVU pic.twitter.com/GOP6qyqBOf

But evidently Trout can also stroke the corner three ball like Steph Curry (at least on this occasion when the cameras were rolling).

Trout’s teammate, pitcher Joe Smith, even got the best of Curry and handed him a loss in a game of P-I-G…something we’re not sure that’s ever happened in this universe or any other.
And with that, Steph Curry lost to Joe Smith in PIG pic.twitter.com/kcpgMHHBQm

The Angels are in the Bay Area preparing for a series with the Oakland Athletics, and it’s safe to say that game does, in fact, recognize game.

Just the same as real recognizes real.
