[Highlight] Luke Kornet comes up with the game-saving block for the Spurs as they beat the Magic, 114-112 in Orlando.
I miss Kornet so much
It’s been 21 games and I would already die for him
I was ready after 2.1 quarters
You gave us White we gave you Kornet. We were lucky to have them both for a few years. Take care of Luke please.
In my heart we traded Derrick White for Luke Kornet
That’s what happened.
An eye for an eye
PAIN
We did my friend. A win-win trade.
You’re welcome for Derrick. Thank you for finally meeting us in the middle, with the trade.
I could start walkin your waaaay
You could start walking miiiiiine
Glad to see our Korndog doing well!
It’s kind of wild that he got a declining 4 year 10M/year contract with the last year a team option and the third year partially guaranteed. I feel like he’s worth basically the full MLE
If nothing else changed for us this offseason EXCEPT for adding Kornet we would be 10 wins better.
He’s been phenomenal for us.
The past few games he’s taken a beating from opposing players and has handled it incredibly well. Dude is a legend
San Antonio moves to 15-6 on the season, their best start through 21 games since 2016-17.
What a beautiful sentence.
Amd so many Injuries, all short term thankfully
Can’t wait to have Area 51 back again 😭
Fox is holding down the fort
Can’t wait for wemby’s return
Harper played a hell of a game tonight too
Fuck Zaza
More wild is 7-2 without Wemby!
When I thought of the Spurs last few years, I thought “awkward experiment of a team, pieces don’t really fit, always trying weird shit like point Sochan.” But they’re looking like a legit contender already, an actual well built 2-way team even without Wemby.
Still a lot of immaturity in some ways. Reminds me of the 2023-2024 OKC squad, who were 14-7 after 21 games.
Yeah. Some of these TOs had me screaming.
If only we could add a top 5 player to this mix and a poa defender…
Fix the officiating
9 years was not long enough
The funnest celebration ever
man hit random on the emote wheel
He is the king of the random cellys
Random? That was the iconic Usain Bolt celebration.
I feel like that’s kinda random for Kornet to pull out in 2025
We are talking about a guy who has done running dabs down the court.. The butterfly, the unicorn. Ice in the veins,.. dude is him.
Hogan must pose
Kornet - When you get knocked down, you just get back up again and hit the pose!
bro is just a vibes guy haha, love it
Insane aura on this one
They thought Wemby was out and they could do anything they want.
Don’t let the stats fool you, this man’s already been worth his salary and then some.
I watch Spurs games just to see him play
I do the same with celtics games for derrick
Our lil buffalo :(
I believe it. He worked his ass off tonight and was a huge part of a W that should’ve been a scheduled loss (less than 24 hour turnaround between games flying from SA to Orlando, team landed in Orlando at 4 AM today). The monster screens he sets, consistently reliable defensive positioning, strong box outs (clearing the way for other spurs to clean the glass instead of worrying about getting them himself) etc are such a sight for sore eyes especially considering the big rotation we had backing Wemby up the last two seasons. And he’s been starter quality with Wemby out.
This ☝️☝️☝️
Worth mentioning their play by play guy is from MA
Jacob was hilarious tonight with the smelling salts
The Celtics - Spurs connection. Bill Simmons has only cemented this further
sPUrs pAid toO mUCh fOr hIM
If Luke wants I’ll buy him dinner
He’s very very good. Super solid. I miss him but love seeing hi thrive
He was really good for us last 2 seasons beyond our expectations! We love him in Boston.
Kornet contest 2.0
It was the greatest Kornet Kontest of all!!!!!! How can you not be romantic about basketball?
*Cries in celtic fan
Maybe we can do a Kornet and White timeshare type arrangement.
You’re saying….let them roam?
Coparenting
Of all the players we lost these last couple seasons (Al, Jrue, Nesmith, KP, Kemba, IT, etc), it’s Kornet that I miss the most :(
Happy he got paid though, he definitely earned a nice payday with how far he came when he first got in the league as a borderline backup big, to an actual contributor on a title team.
Clutch ass block 🚫
He had 3 in this game, and one that should have legit been called a block that was ruled a foul.
Last game he had 4 or 5.
He’s missed like 10 or 11 shots all season. He’s a king 👑
Thank you mr. heatfan
He came from a long way away considering the clock. Beauty of a block.
It’s not often a block is the last play of the game and an important one. GG Kornet.
The Spurs have quietly still been winning without Wemby and Castle. I’m taking them very seriously.
Great play by Kornet , he really made himself a player
Korny ass mf!
What a block, better celly.
Watch Biyombo’s reaction, he’s fully invested.
One of the only teams in the West I can see giving OKC issues in the near future.
Houston has so much size. They’ll be difficult for anyone.
Lakers are just an offensive juggernaut too.
Luka Shai might be the most toxic series matchup in history.
All I want is for us to play 8 games in the playoffs.
Amazing to see him so happy! What an amazing player and what a steal in the off season. He deserves every cent of his contract and more.
And he deserves happiness
I am feeling KORNY
What a beautiful play. Straight out the spoelstra popovich playbook
Look like Wemby man
Oh how I miss this guy. Spurs got an absolute gem
Luke Kornet has done wonders for the Spurs this year them getting him in the offseason was a steal he’s living up to every penny of his contract they’ve been balling out without Wemby and Castle they’re one of the few teams in the West that can give OKC trouble in the near future
Love this team so god damn much
Now that’s an actual Kornet Kontest.
The Usain Kornet celebration!
That’s almost better than a game winning shot
Perfect inbounds play, but the pass was a little off
where my road dogs at?
awooooo
Now THATS a Kornet Kontest
What an incredible start to this season!
Bossman Dlow with the aura farm at the end lmao
See, Giannis? San Antonio has Luke Kornet. You can’t get that anywhere else.
What a Block!
Hell of a play. Can’t be mad
Can we have the alternate angle with his celly. That block was fire and a better celly.
Komet (joining r and n) sounds like a fitting nickname just for that block alone. dude came flying in to swat that shit
He was such a steal in free agency holy shit
Wemby who?!
The KornDog not being in Boston anymore hurts, but I’m glad he’s at least in San Antonio. If any team’s fans are gonna understand the value of a guy who does the little things(and some very loud things like this block) it’s the Spurs.
was already posted sorry /u/nba
With Kornet playing like that, they can cruise without Wemby at this point.
Bossman d low has had a very eventful day 😂😩
He got that shit out of there lol
Love Kornet! Enjoy the shit out of that guy SA fans. I certainly did when he was with the Celtics. Awesome guy to have on your team.
that’s bad ass.
If you look at the kid in the Orlando jersey from 0:07 to 0:09 you’ll see a new Luke Kornet fan being born.
Wemby who?
Kornet Contest has evolved
I wish I could feel that amount of joy and pride in something I did
I love this man with all my heart
Kornt affff
LETSSS GOOOOOOOOOO
Korndogs on the house
What a block! Let’s go Kornet!
Very heady play by Kornet.
They celebrating like it’s a playoff game 😭 ngl tho it was a sick block, can’t blame him, show that emotion big fella!
BIG BIRD IS FOR THE PEOPLE!
Forgot what team he was on. Great play.
Vibes will always be immaculate with Luke 🥹
Shoutout to Luke!!!
His pose after 🤣
Really hope they gave him the game ball after this.
I love this man
Everybody loves Luke.
Losing Kornet is the saddest I’ve been about a player leaving my team ever for his mix of play, antics, and interviews. So likeable.
Dudes been swatting more than 4 chan the last 48 hours.
I miss him
Nothing will top this moment this season… god i miss this man.
he’s so happy lol
KORN-DOG IS GOODEST DOG!
That was a helluva finishing move!
I was there ref was on that good good shi
This man is a light in a dark world, love u Korndog
Luke “Dikembe” Kornet
And he clutch that
hell yeah luke
Great block. Just sucks it came after a bad call from the ref
I mean the replay showed a pretty clear shooting foul where Isaac touched fox’s arm
More to do with the refs letting both teams beat each other up all game, and then it ends like that.. we could spend all night looking at fouls the refs didn’t call for both sides
I mean sure every game has that, but do you think that justifies not calling a clear foul at the very end of the game ?
I think a game that saw kormet get thrown on every rebound and AB getting hacked on every drive should not have ended with fox getting touched on the arm
Edit: but I’m understandably biased
Yeah I’m not going it pretend that I’m not biased as well, but that’s what makes me a bit upset too. Both teams fought hard all games and the refs were alright until the very end. Like let them go to OT
This is a pretty standard thing in every game. Refs will set whatever tone early on, some games will be more physical, others less. In crunch time when every possession influences the outcome significantly more and refs are keyed in much more, they’re never not gonna call a clear foul
Okay.. but the point is they did
That’s exactly what they did and what you just described. A game they allowed to be physical throughout that they still cracked down on in crunch time
Idk, agree to disagree I guess. Not mad at the loss or anything. Spurs are great and Duncan is my favorite all time non-Magic player, so always pulling for SA. gg
