[Highlight] Klay Thompson is upset about Santi Aldama, who grabbed Cooper Flagg’s leg while being on the floor. And later on Ja Morant puts his finger in Klay Thompson’s face, which caused an altercation in the postgame
Bitch move by Aldama and to act like nothing happened
Like bro we got u in 4k
Well, 780p by that replay in the video but the 4k is somewhere lmao
720p here in the video.
It’s crazy that people still pull that move when you have hundreds of cameras in the arena.
Serious bitch ass move, wtf
Gotta give him the Draymond treatment so he’s protected.
Usual suspects
Draymond tried to tell you
Heartbreaking: The worst person you know just made a great point
Least surprising aldama play
they got Cam Spencer in the there being corrupted
Dirty move by Aldama.
According to Grizzlies commentators its not big deal at all.
i thought those grizzlies commentators might be right, albeit homerish, until i seen that bird eye angle, clearly grabbed his leg lol
I remember when the Grit and Grind Grizzlies was beloved in the league. This new wave Grizzlies are ass and now they’re also assholes. Sad to watch.
Mike Conley would never allow this
unironically. Conley would’ve talked to Aldama post-game or on the bus/plane after seeing these replay angles
What a downgrade for leadership, years of having Conley as your leader then getting Ja next. That culture changes quick
Went from culture foundation vets like Tony Allen, ZBo, Gasol, Conley to whatever the hell they have now.
These things always occur top down, would love any grizz fans with FO knowledge to comment on staff changes from Grit and Grind era to now.
And they just ignore the dirty play and talk about klay standing up for his rookie. Man these guys from Memphis are soft af.
Well, he didn’t have a gun so its a minor issue for them…
Since everyone in this sub has been fellating cp3 all day, here’s a throwback to when he also yanked on a guy’s leg to try to injure him, because he’s a dirty POS.
100%. CP is a fucking Jabroni.
Cp3 always been a bitch in the basketball court. Sorta similar to Pat Bev
Correct. He’d be Pat Bev if Pat Bev got the super soldier serum.
I’ve never seen a player whose fans are as in denial about their crap as Chris Paul
All time great player and low key one of the dirtiest players of his generation
CP3 was even dirty in college
Yeah man, we have like 25 years of data on this, but he apparently has some wicked good pr.
He also punches players in the balls.
He’s really good but very dirty.
CP3 was my favourite player to watch as a young point guard. Still have a lot of respect for his skill, but have grown up recognizing that he’s a certified bitch when it comes to dirty play.
Very curious indeed.
Klay just channeling Draymond and protecting his star. Need a guy like that on every team.
If the NBA is serious about Coop being their next big ticket a fine for Santi being a snake should be forthcoming. Gotta let the league know trying to trip it injure the next big thing isn’t going to happen on their watch.
If only Green was there to stomp the guy /s
Kick him off the tour, Doug ! But seriously suspend him. Dirty dirty dirty
Jordan Poole did it first.
That’s cheap as fuck from Aldama. Klay’s got every right to be mad
Bro idk how some of these players genuinely lack empathy about another player getting injured. Like you know injuries are a big part of the game, you know people that got their careers and lives ruined all around you in all age categories, you probably had to deal with injuries. And then you to reckless shit like this, to an 18 y/o star playing his like 16th game, if he picked up a bad injury from this, I genuinely wonder if guys like this feel bad at all or they move on. If they do move on, that’s just evil
The competitive drive needed to make it into the nba let alone succeed probably allows some of these folks to literally turn off the empathy switch and just focus on winning.
I’ve seen players pull moves way worse in my bum rec league. People are just fucking dumb.
league full of psychopaths
Nah Aldama just a pathetic little boy mad he’ll never even come close to kissing cooper flags ass in terms of accomplishments. So he takes that frustration out in trying to hurt him. Aldama is a loser
They never accidentally rolled an ankle playing in the paint and it shows. Shit is bush league.
Shooting 30% from 3 but 100% for being a good dude.
Ja putting the finger in Klay’s face and backpedaling on his own before his teammates get there is on brand.
Surprised Ja isn’t still crying about losing his joy.
Guy might be the most unlikable player in the NBA.
26 years old in his prime and is still a shitter who’s done nothing of significance. It’s truly sad.
He never was likeable.
I couldn’t agree more.
In his subprime*
Ftfy
Dudes not careful he’s gonna cause a financial crisis
Crazy that Zion turned out to be the likable one of the two, considering how their careers started.
I mean all Zion has to do is stay healthy and keep his mouth shut.
Klay would’ve fucked Ja’s bitch ass up.
He got Meg at home already bruh
Nah he would have ran back and put 4 fingers up
His real name’s Clarence.
Temetrius
And Clarence lives at home with both parents
Would’ve loved to have seen Klay put hands on him
He’s way braver with a gun though! Never seen an NBA player that gives me mall ninja vibes more than Ja Morant.
What was Aldama doing in the first place
Being dirty
In the heat of the moment I almost get it. But it’s dirty and considering NBA stakes even more so cause Flagg lands weird and who knows what happens. But there’s no situation where he shouldn’t just say “dude my bad. Wasn’t thinking for a second”
Trying to hold up a fast break…unethical af tho
Dude pointed his finger at Klay’s face then proceeded to back up nobody takes that wanksta seriously
The good old trying to do sneaky shit to injure a guy while on camera and then pretend the other guy is in the wrong
Nba should suspend aldama for that shit. Dirty ass play. Non basketball play and high risk of injury.
100%
They won’t, but they should.
Sabonis
Ja so fake it’s funny. Klay a corpse of his former self. Torn ACL and Achilles and still at least trying to hoop. Meanwhile Ja “Clarance” Morant playing 8 Mile again.
Never took Ja seriously after he said he’s not worried about the West idk who he thinks he is lol
He should’ve been worried about the south, because that’s the direction his career’s been going since then
He should probably also worry about the far east when they ship his ass to the GuangDong Tigers if his benchwarming career keeps going like this
I would say “Get ready to learn Chinese!”, but I don’t want him to crash out on the Duolingo bird because his dumbass loses a streak.
Don’t forget, he figured out the Thunder in the playoffs. Grizz woulda had em if he didn’t get hurt. 😂
He’s the kind of player that’s fun for a little while but won’t last. Ignoring his attitude, he’s already 26 with leg injuries, and he relies on his explosiveness a lot.
Double Injury Klay is a better player than current Ja
Ja likes his pistols cause he know he’s a bad shooter on the court.
People gotta stop calling him Ja, use his actual name Temetrius to really call out the bitch that he is.
Ja fake tough lmao why were you backing away. That’s some pussy shit lol
injured his calf, he don’t want that smoke.
Then don’t engage in the first place….
I hate when players do shit like this. Always thinking they can get away with it (because a lot of the time, they do even if it would have been picked up as intentional tripping)
[deleted]
Read my reply to the other guy.
When Klay is being the enforcer, you know you fucked up. What a dirtbag. Good to see someone having Flagg’s back.
Good vet move by Klay, someone had to step up and defend the rookie
Usually he’s used to Draymond doing that but the Mavs don’t have a guy like that really
Id like to see pj get into that some but yea.
all the grizzlies fans defending Ja looking real stupid rn. wtf was Santi thinking?
[removed]
Once a team wins their first championship, do all of their fans become this insufferable? Thunder fans used to be pleasant.
Let’s be real even without the championship the thunder have been a well run franchise and have been consistently better than the grizz pretty much since they have existed.
Teams with ring has nothing to do with insufferability. Grizz fans and Suns fans are ringless and insufferable
It’s easier to feel big when you’re at the top.
Every team has their bad fans.
As a Memphis fan you’ll never know and the rest of us ain’t tellin.
Who cares what thunder fans think they’re from Oklahoma
Why is the commentator hating on Klay so hard for tryna stand up for his rookie? Like damn that just shows he cares smh
I feel like some of the more overarching beef with Klay and the Grizzlies has to be in play here as well
The ‘beef’ was based on real things - Klay is not going to forget seeing GP2 attacked in the air by Dillon Brooks, breaking his shoulder.
Ja cosplaying again
Love for Klay 💙💙
I just became a Klay fan after this
Your best asset is your rookie star. You should sign a bodyguard. Ja would bring an apology fruit basket to your locker room if you had James Johnson on a two way.
Tripping a rookie smh
Ja rocking up in his pajamas with the finger waggle like he’s doing something.
Ja downfall has to be studied
I know your statement is just rhetorical, but there really isn’t anything to study, he really is just an unfortunate combination of being dumb and having an ego.
lmao the Grizzlies are a shit show.
You can feel their toxic environment just by looking at them.
Their best bet is to trade JJJ for 3 first rounders and trade Ja for a second round pick. Then develop the young core. Cedric might legit be a future MVP and these clowns about to drag him with themselves.
Ja seems like one of those internet gangsters
Seems?? lol he’s proven that’s exactly what he is quite a few times now
Ja a clown
Cooper should have pulled a Draymond Stomp. Don’t let these sneaky grabbers get away with it
Klay shoulda just open hand slapped Ja there and taken the suspension.
Ja was right, he is good in the west. If his job is just talk shit from the bench, and stick his finger in peoples faces, he’s nailing it
What does Ja even have to say…why is he calling him a bum? Clay is a champ…ja can’t even show up to play lately AND how many rings does Ja have? ZERO, his teammate Aldama pulls a dirty move on a rookie who has a lot of potential, Clay called it out. Listen, dirty shit happens all the time in the league but this whole exchange is just weird. Do they have previous beef or something?
Bitch move.
Grizzlies are so lame it’s nauseating
Ja is such a scrub
I love all this. The grizzled 4x champ veteran, standing up for his prodigious rook and then gets confronted by the nba’s nba. Spicy
I want to see Ja get his so bad
How is he not ejected for that?
What a garbage ass team the grizzlies are.
Grizzlies being Grizzlies
Adam Silver would have sent Aldama to Shanghai and relegated the grizzlies if some random role player had injured his 18 year old number 1 pick off a dirty move like this
someone gotta curb stomp aldama ASAP
i vote draymond
Surely Ja gets a fine for this right? It happened post game but I thought there were more strict rules on non suited bench players physically instigating like this
I now appreciate draymond alot more for what he did to aldama 🤣
Grizz commentators are trash holy
Why is Ja even on the court? That should be an easy suspension.
Santi not sainting on anyone today
Draymond is going to kill Santi Aldama
Ja’s kinda a hoe for that
Aldama is a dirty bitch, trying to act like he did nothing wrong.
Respect to Klay for standing up for his teammate
You can’t be grabbing people’s legs, that was so dirty. And you can’t be pointing your finger at people.
Has Ja considered playing more games? Or is this his new role in the league?
Fuck aldama, ja, and the grizzlies
The way Klay swatted him away is sending me 😂
Ja Morant is the most fake ass tough guy in the league, such a wannabe gangster - it makes him so extremely unlikable along with his other shenanigans. I mean there are players like Draymond but at least he’s accepted his role as the guy who’s on the floor to kick someone in the balls. Ja is just a bitch
My favorite team has gone from fun overachieving young guys to totally unlikable underachievers in less than 2 years. This is hard to watch.
Ja’s about to lose a finger if he keeps pointing it like that.
Is this the return of 2022 Grizzlies? Just that they’re ass this time?
Fuck the Grizzlies and the pathetic gunslinger Ja Morant.
Btch move by Ja. Bro wasn’t even playing
The memphis grizzle’s are an embarrassment
Bush league shit from Aldama
Fuck Aldama. And I could care less about the Mavs or Flagg. Fuck that. Fine the shit out of him.
All Ja knows how to do is point. Bro don’t have what it takes to actually shoot but acts like he does. Corniest kinda fake
I can’t imagine the mindset of someone, maybe not trying to injure, but performing an action against a star rookie that could easily injure, so far behind the play. This isn’t competitiveness. It’s a loser cheating with zero empathy for potential injury.
Klay acted exactly as a vet should here. Stood up for his rook and told Aldama to stop playing dirty but did not lose his cool and did not back down when Ja got in his face.
never been a Klay guy but respect for this
Oh muh gawd, Ja did something immature. What a shocker.
Aldama and Ja are such trash. Wish Klay had a better place to finish his career.
This grizzlies team is so unlikable. I don’t even like Klay, but Ja needs to consistently play above average basketball to talk this amount of shit. At this point he might as well be a media personality.
[ Removed by Reddit ]
Aldama is a hoe for that and ja is embarrassing as hell.
Ha Miramar is a little bitch
Definitely a wack foul by Aldama. Usually a much more standup player, but Klay was chirping the whole game. I respect Klay’s instinct to protect his teammate, but I do notice that he escalates the situation in the way he approaches Santi — and we have no clue what he said — so I also have to respect Ja coming to his teammate’s defense too…
I dunno, man. It’s just basketball.
Santi actually physically grabbed a moving player by the leg. Klay getting on his ass about it wasn’t an escalation
School of Sabonis
Aldama is low key dirty player.
Memphis had such great momentum in the early Ja years, crazy how that franchise has cratered
Klay has always been a righteous dude
Good on Unc Klay standing up for his rookie.
Dirty ass play.
Aldama with the Draymond special right there
West mad competitive
This Memphis is cringiest team in nba rn
Bitch moves by the Grizzlies. It’s almost like Ja doesn’t want to play in the NBA anymore. Dude is so wack.
I AM 100% HERE FOR KLAY “THE ENORCER!”
Grizzlies players talk a lot for someone who has done fck all in the league
He should get fined and suspended for what he did. See I’m all for rivalries and physical play, to the point where some bat shit insane things might happen on a play when emotions are running high players might say a few words and trigger something that will lead into a dangerous play ok, but this shit, fuck this kind of shit. See this has no excuse behind it, you’re just an asshole trying whole heartedly to injure someone, there’s no excuse here, you can only see intent with this shit. You could just let him go and if you had the skills and grit try to get him on a play later, but you wanna be a pussy boy, get your shit together dude, fight them while ball is live bro not like this, not like a little bitch.
Aldama better get a suspension man wtf that was blatantly on purpose and could have seriously injured Flagg all while being a pussy and and acting like he didn’t do nothing
Ja is such an absolute loser
Deserves a suspension. Griz trying to be the least likable team or what
Take back my previous post, that angle shows a clearly intentional ankle grab.
Dirty move, and to the Rook too.
/u/SaveVideo
Ja Morant is such a loser. He’s headed the way of Cousins. Just a massive waste of talent because his ego gets in the way constantly.
What gets you into your head to be that idiot trying to injure someone has always been beyond my understanding
gray’mon allen green shit
Grizzlies used to be cool and now they’re pretty much the most bitchass team in quite some time
The grizzlies are still the bad guys, but now they are fucking trash so it’s even more sad
The grizzlies died when Dillon Brooks left. What a bunch of bitches
Ja really pulled a finger gun?
Man, Klay just exploded for his own sanity. Another injury from their key player might be the final straw for him. He’s right at the middle of injury hell trying to be the best positive influence that he could be as a vet.
Wrapping a rookies leg stupid ass franchise.
Klay protecting the next generation, right on
Memphis always playing dirty lol
Klay soft retire already bro taking up salary cap on the sorry ass mavs
I do not like Klay but ngl he ain’t wrong for this
