The What Do You Mean? singer took his Purpose World Tour to Brooklyn's Barclays Center, the home of the Brooklyn Nets, on Wednesday (04May16) for the first of two concerts at the venue, but before he hit the stage, he stopped by the team's practice court to show off his moves.

On Thursday (05May16), Justin posted video footage of his court session with Scooter, during which he successfully hit a string of three-pointers one after another.

"Let's be honest scooter I was rain dancing all over you nice try tho (sic)," the 22-year-old boasted in the accompanying message.

He also used the opportunity to blast his critics, adding, "and a big f**k you to all the basketball playing trolls online saying i have bad form first of all I'm not a basketball player I'm a singer lol (laugh out loud) second of All I'll work on my form (sic)".

The pop superstar will return to the Barclays Centre on Thursday night, before continuing his tour in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on Saturday (07May16) and Sunday (08May16).
