Well, Saturday is the date of the “2018 Blobfish Basketball Classic” between Cruz and Jimmy Kimmel, and Cruz once again brought out his stunt double for good measure.

Now Cruz is dunking on Kimmel and we’re loving it.

Sorry … to see game highlights you might have to watch Kimmel’s show Monday night, although we believe the Cruz campaign gets a copy of the tape too, so stay tuned.
