Even professional athletes get starstruck.

Compton caught the tweet and decided this was his time to pounce.

Hall responded to Compoton and tagged Durant in the tweet.

HTTR! So proud of my boys! Let's keep it Rollin @Redskins

@KDTrey5 @Redskins no doubt bro. We appreciate the support. Y'all keep balling too

Compton, however, didn't think Hall wasn't smooth enough with the tweet.

@DeAngeloHall23 @KDTrey5 @Redskins yo, d-hall you know KD?? Geez.. you think he knows who I am yet? Introduce me, but be cool about it..

It worked though, because Durant responded.

@_willcompton @KDTrey5 @Redskins yeah Comp I think he knows the starting MLB of his favorite team man!!!!!! Lol

This is when Compton really started to lose it.

I said be cool!!!! Damn!!! Cmon bro https://t.co/luj5uZG8jv

Feeling confident, Compton made the bold move to ask for a follow.

This didn't go unnoticed by a college teammate Quincy Enunwa, and current teammate Niles Paul, who both called Compton for his obvious thirst.
