Smiles all around for Mike Conley, LeBron James, and Anthony Edwards during a stoppage of play in the 4th quarter
Everyone loves Mike Conley
One of the most likable dudes in the nba by far
By far, by far.
Just like Jrue Holiday. Everybody likes jrue
Mike and Jrue my goats for real
Mike and Jrue the MJ of nice dudes
I always said MJ was the Mike Conley of dunkers
He’s the greatest
.. of all time..?
Of niceness and professionalism? Absolutely
Steven Adams
I’m an osu fan and I’ve had a Memphis shersey of his since his rookie year. It is now faded and holey but goddamn I’ll wear it forever
Even the refs like him. They don’t want to be the first one to give him a tech
I forgot the guy never received one. What a winner on that end.
I think he did get one but it was rescinded. As it should have been. All time NBA teammate.
I am part of everyone.
Lebron knew it was over
LeGoofin around
Thinking about that trip to Cabo with Savannah next week…
2018 game 4 vibes
[removed]
Holy shit you’re obsessed man
Interestingly the momentum went in the wolves favor when Gobert stripped Luka at the 3 for a turnover and a McDaniels fast break and-1 on Luka
If you said Conley you might have a point, but Gobert has been awesome on defense all series
He knows it’s Wolves in 5 he just thinking of that nice Cancun weather and I don’t blame him
Old heads are gona be pissed
He broke the code
Lebron quit on his team
The man with 38 quit lmao okay
It’s a joke
Yeah and this is a bad joke.
Old heads are pissed because LeBron is laughing with his opponents so that shows he quit on his team. They’re riffing on faux outrage alluded to by the original comment.
Laker fans are so dense
Should’ve had 50 laughing like that
shoulda said it like ‘LeBrOn QuiT oN hIs TeAm’
Not that old, 42 but I hate that shit. Be buddy buddy before or after the game but during hate your opponent and be a competitor.
Why? So you get some kind of reality tv-ish drama fix to go with your sport? I don’t see how anyone is going to tell two of the best in the world how to compete, and expect to be taken seriously.
Needing to be in a hateful mindset in order to be competitive is immature and limiting. You can certainly harness parts of it if you have to, but you’re insane if you think either of them wants to win any less just because there is a mutual respect in place.
100% agree with you.
I never understood why some people think being nice with opponents during stoppages means you aren’t trying your hardest to win.
Hell, being nice to your opponents can be the most effective way to get into some of their heads as well.
Jordan did this shit, too. He went golfing with Barkley during the playoffs.
Chuck said that never happened
It’s because both MJ and Kobe where pieces of shit to everyone, not just their opponents.
Literal manchildren needing that kind of drama. Coming from Europe and a football dominated country this shit is refreshing to watch. The respect shown to the sport and referees too.
Surely at 42 youre matured enough to be invested in doing more interesting stuff than basketball drama on reddit
If you can’t be competitive without hate there’s something wrong with you.
“Not my goat”
“MJ would spit in their face before laughing with the opponent”
“We’re done with the 2020s”
MJ would’ve murdered Ant for coming at him with jokes and laughs
Thats all I needed
We’re done with the 2020s lmao
So over it lol ready for 2030s
It’s closer than it is farther away
Kobe would never do this shit in the playoffs.
Yeah, because Kobe was just generally unlikable. And a rapist.
Unless you’re a Lakers fan and then of course he was a saint.
Emmet till
Maybe in Colorado
it’s because he was a psychopath narcissist with no friends. Nobody liked him not even his own teammates. Being competitive doesn’t mean you have to be like that.
For kids done with the 90’s and such nonsense you sure like to keep bringing it up.
Like the disgruntled ex whose “definitely over her”
Let it go, man. Shit’s embarassing.
Idk, at least with the ex situation you banged her at some point. Now you’re just the old guy who younger girls think are gross and have no shot.
No, in this analogy the ex isn’t even thinking of you anymore.
But you still smashed.
“Taking my talents to the Tundra”
Only if he’s ok playing behind Joe Ingles
Please no
Love seeing the human side of it. When the clock is ticking go at each other, when its not you can chop it up
Maannn, Minnesota Mike looks so tiny next to Ant and LeBron, but Mike’s like my height and is wider/bulkier than I am. LeBron is just so big.
Ant is a big dude for a shooting guard. LeBron is HUGE.
And I think he slimmed down after arriving at Cleveland if I am not mistaken
When peak LeBron on Heat drove inside the paint, he was like a locomotive lol
Luka couldn’t stay away from cheap pizza and it might have just cost the Lakers series. What can you do but laugh?
Bro I am keeping my mouth shut.
I dont want him to burn us like the Suns during the game 7 Meltdown
“Everyone wanna talk tough when they up” lol
Especially as MN Sports Fans, we know whats up
Whats with the fake worry? The series is over
No its not lol. Im not shit talking because we dont want to end up like the suns
Lebron is old, Luka is sick, AR sucks, Rui sucks, Jaxon sucks, Vando sucks, JJ is Ham 2.0.
I see the Wolves blowing out the Lakers Sunday easily and ending the series in LA. The Lakers are honestly terrible I’m not sure how it’s not a blowout every game.
Yall dont know MN Sports lol
I feel like this guy is doing the skip bayless move. Also known as the praise a team or player so much so you can act so disappointed when they lose. Or the opposite works too.
It’s clear the smart move is to wait till the series is over to talk your shit. Even if it’s 80% chance why risk it lol
I hadn’t even considered this game over when this clip was playing.
They have Luka and LeBron. Shit’s not over until we’re packing our bags for Houston/San Francisco
Nice try
Bro please shut the hell up
Shut up
Nah do not talk shit to Luka until you have 4 wins. Literally nothing motivated that man more than being petty
Luka Donsick
Probably had norovirus. That shit gives you diarrhea and you constantly vomit. It takes about 2-3 days for the symptoms to fully clear out so he should be good on Sunday I think.
They talking about Shedeur not getting drafted
The comments in this thread are dumb as fuck. Series isn’t over, lebron still cares, huge win for Minnesota
I think they meant the game at that point.
LeBron knows this shit is over
Talking heads rubbing their hands together knowing they’ve got an easy five hours of material here about how MJ would’ve rather murdered everybody on the court than smile at an opponent and that’s why he’s better than LBJ
That team USA bonding
All I’m hearing is Purple Rain, might have to watch that movie (or just listen to the album) again, it’s been a while
I’m confused… Why aren’t these guys flagrantly fouling each other? Isn’t that what playoffs is?
This series has been refreshing in that department as compared to many of the others. They’re playing really physical and jawing just a bit, but for the most part it’s been free of actual animosity and congenial moments before the game and during dead balls. Even saw Lebron help Ant up once. These teams/players clearly really respect one another. This game was fun to watch.
:D
We as a society suck absolute ass at lip reading, only jomboy can read that shit
Man, stop breaking kayfabe in my scripted basketball sports entertainment show
LeVity
Bron doesn’t really care as much anymore. He’s just enjoying playing basketball, hanging out with his kid, and setting records
[deleted]
If this was 2018, he would’ve dropped 83, what a bum
How can you think that after he dropped 38 tonight? He just doing that casually?
nah bro he’s just playin hoops with his kid out there /s
He’s that good
Ah yes. Play 40+ minutes and dropping 38pts at 40 years cuz he doesn’t care as much. Real smart thought process there buddy
You can be competitive while having changing priorities, nuance is a thing you’re allowed to have, buddy
he’s literally the top scorer in the game while also be the oldest player in the league you people just say anything
Michael Jeffrey Jordan would never…
jordan (and kobe) would never
This is when you remember they’re all just laughing to the bank
Bron: “you wanna come to LA? Lots of insta chicks and abortion is legal”
Pshhh bluer than you dawg https://www.statista.com/statistics/1135833/us-presidential-elections-current-streak-by-state/
If you don’t like that, you don’t like NBA basketball
Can’t he just wait until later to shoot the shit? Smh your team is losing! 😡
Passing of the baton!
I love this is the NBA now
i wanna say he started with “dat boi old…” am i trippin
Damn, didn’t realize how much bigger is LeBron than Edwards.
Lakers in 5 huh 😂
Man you just gotta fw Mike Conley.
note how its only because mike shows up that bron smiles. what a legend sir conley is
Buy that new house. Yeah, three. Word. Kool.
You don’t have to hate your competition to compete against them.
I do….I’m just saying you don’t have to.
KOBE WOULD NEVER
More like Kobe could never, cause Kobe ain’t have no friends
TALKING DICK BABY
Kinda like ur franchise for the next few years, huh?
Julius Randle, you are a Los Angeles Laker (again)
This is basically Wizards Michael Jordan talking to #8 Kobe Bryant
This shit scripted af 💯
Kobe, Shaq, KAJ or Magic would never do this shit.
You’re a caricature
And he still left early like a bitch
You don’t shake hands during the series dumbass
Jeez
Wat?
Relax and enjoy the win.
