[Highlight] The G-League crowd goes crazy as the Raptors 905 score 67 points during their School Day game
Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought that kids would be more excited for 67 than 69.
Us uncs are not ready for all these gen-alpha kids that are gonna be flooding the league in a few years, jared mccain already has mfs in shambles
At what age are you an unc and no longer big bro I’ve been called both in the last week and now just stare at the forest in front of my house all day.
Man unfortunately I feel like that depends on who’s calling it lmao. When I was a kid I feel like anyone older than 30 was an unc but now that im here im not quite ready to accept it. Either way if ur being called both in the span of a week its over for you, we’re cooked im afraid
It was a good run
Except for covid that shit transported me from early 20s to late 20s before I could blink. The rest was for sure a good run
Yeah I went from 25 and full of hope to 30 and hopeless real quick lmao
It’s called being an American.
Make more money. However you can. It helps
Bruh what
Man same COVID happened basically my last semester of college so I essentially just got my first few years after college obliterated by that lmfao. Absolutely could’ve been worse, but man it really sucked to miss those community building years moving to a new town
Oh well
Same here man same here. Lost years of my prime!
COVID years don’t count you still 25
When do you go from unc to pops? I’m getting to old to understand any of this. Give me back my Roundball Rock!
As soon as you can start talking about memories of your early adulthood from a time before current young adults were born, you are pops. If you’re talking about “yeah man we used to love the club in 2004”, you are pops.
But I was partying like it was my birthday.
I do reference the ‘99 lockout season a lot. I’m cooked.
Edit: years man where do they go.
If I ever called pops in the next 10 years im offing myself ngl
idk how old you are but it’s coming… I got called that on here for a few months ago for mentioned something about Festus Ezeli
dudes career wasn’t even THAT long ago lol
its not necessarily the age itself its whenever you lose touch to the younger generation and their meme culture / sayings. I dont wanna call myself unc yet for this reason because even though im 30 im still terminally online enough to understand somewhat what the new gen is up to. But I know that time is coming eventually..
A kid noticed my Costco membership card in a college bar and immediately called me out and said I was officially unc (I’m 23)
If you have a forest in front of your house you are automatically upgraded to unc.
The breakdown I’ve agreed with the most is 27-35 is big bro, 35 and up is unc, and I forget where old head starts lol
If you’re born in the 90s. Unc
I’d say 2005 and earlier
Your an unc
Dude I’m just glad no one has hit me with “gramps” yet
I’m 29 and got called Unc by a 23 year old. I thought I had more time.
At this point anyone older than you is unc and anyone younger than you is nephew. Words have lost all meaning.
If you need to ask, you already know the answer.
You’re an unc once you’re no longer with it
they already in our midst in these threads, earlier today i saw a NBA troll account on twitter confirm he’s in 7th grade.
Lil K was born in 2014 that’s actually unfathomable
We always like to imagine trolls to be unemployed bums who live in basements. In fact the majority of trolls are middle schoolers with way too much time and way too much unrestricted phone usage
Number 67 doesn’t get used enough so I’m down
They don’t like Jared McCain lmao, they been clowning that boy
Loved how the player went along with it and did the 🫴🫴 as soon as he hit the 67. He knew his audience lol.
he hit a 3 so it went 67 to 70.
6 7 is to gen alpha, what 21 was to early Gen Z/late millenials, what 69 was to millenials.
69 is eternal for everyone
67 and 21 aren’t close.
69 is superman, 21 is omniman, 67 is homelander
Time’s are just different bruh. When we were kids, we knew 69 but it was like a hush hush thing, you wouldn’t show to your parents you knew what it was. We weren’t screaming at games like this at 69 lmao. Time’s are just different.
Also I can’t ever remember fans ever cheering for 69, the reaction to this made me laugh out loud. I am happy for these kids laughing of this stupid thing but having a fantastic shared experience.
They got a better experience from this over some massive poster. Got to respect the collective excitement!
Its new era
They should have hit the two instead of the three so we could have both.
How did a free throw go from 65 to 67?
The G-League free throws rule is you shoot one free throw for all the points. Experimental rule to see if it speeds up games.
This would be terrible to implement in the NBA
Saves a lot of time over the course of a game/season
Yes but they don’t want that now that FTs are free game for commercials now (I genuinely feel misanthropic when I have to see and hear a commercial as a player shoots a FT off to the side in a smaller screen)
Or just stop calling so many damn fouls
While there are definitely foul baiters, if the refs actually followed the rules for fouls the games would be much, much longer.
that’s exactly the point. Just let the players play. If they’re being physical, good. Don’t call random ticky tack fouls everytime someone gets breathed on
Yup! Easy solution there. Let the players play, stop failing for the bait
Or players could stop fouling.
So would deciding to never review anything. Time isn’t everything - this would be a fundamental change to the game
Why shoot 2 shots when 1 shot do trick
In part, because 2 shots leaves the opportunity for 1 point instead of just 0 or 2
67 😂
Fuckin got em
Perfection
Two shots is not two shots
Ill explain later
free throws didn’t always work like they do now
Time is something though. And the NBA doesn’t get that at all
Yeah baseball was initially against the pitch clock but the previous season was one of the best with games being way shorter. No rules should be considered sacred otherwise why change anything for the better
The pitch clock is a very different change. This is fundamentally changing strategy and would have big implications for the end of games. The pitch clock was just a time limit.
This is fundamentally changing strategy and would have big implications for the end of games.
Every implementation I’ve seen has two shots within the final 2:00 of the half (at least).
That actually has me more convinced to have them try it.
Bingo. The pitch clock didn’t change anything about baseball except dead time
This is more comparable to the 3 pickoff limit - changing a fundamental rule of the game for the SOLE reason of trying to cut corners and save time
The 3 pickoff limit is stupid, and while I at least find this proposal interesting, I don’t think it’s good to change rules like that solely for time
The 3 pickoff limit is pretty essential to the success of the pitch clock - if there was no limit, the pitch clock would merely be a suggestion and you could just throw over and reset it
The ghost runner is the closest imo because it’s had such an effect on the game
Oh that’s great if I want to watch more commercials, which os really just gonna take the saved time spot
Competitively that’s an awful solution
why do you say?
Free throws should not be an all or nothing effort. Taking individual shots to get your 2 or 3 points allows for a more diverse set of outcomes
In the past we had 1+1. Or And1 was added.
Rules change. For the better.
No such thing as what should be forever.
There was a 3 shots to make 2 rule as well.
Says who? Just cause that’s the way it’s always been doesn’t mean we can’t change things for the better.
I’m sure people made similar arguments when the 3 point line was introduced. Like “a field goal is 2 points we shouldn’t introduce an arbitrary line that changes how much a field goal is worth”
Thing is that it wasn’t always this way either. Used to get 3 shots to make two until they got rid of that.
Field goals should not be an all or nothing effort. How about 1 point for hitting the rim
Airballs count as -1
The fuck are you talking about
If you’re down 1 late only have one shot to not lose the game, plus how would it work for 3’s?
The rule reverts to normal FT rules in the last 2 mins of regulation and OT
If this is the case then this is cool
If the rule is you shoot one free throw for all the points then I would imagine youd shoot 1 free throw that counts for all 3 points..
I hate these kind of questions, there are tons of good options. And sorry for not enjoying having to wait 2 min every time theres a foul
First is having to make 2 freethrows one worth 2 points and one worth 1 points
Second is having one freethrow worth 3 points
Third is having 1 point + 1 freethrow worth 2 points
Yes I don’t think they really intend to implement this, just speeds up g-league games which are obviously more about developing guys in live games than creating a competitive league
I think it’d be great, make the ft quick and keep your rhythm instead of stopping for a full minute on every call.
Brings new meaning to the term free throw. Free extra point
Idk, I like it a lot. You shot for a goal worth 2 points but got fouled, go to the line and get a free throw worth those 2 points. Same for 3s. It would speed up the game quite drastically, and would stop the fouling to extend the game at the end.
I’d stop watching. It would make me want to break my TV. It’s already tough at times with the flopping and teams averaging like 40 3PAs a game
go watch clips of naismith old man. todays game is for the people screaming in the clip.
SGA breaking the all time scoring record
They better not bring that to the NBA lol
If you miss one , then you have to take the second free throw?
Or you miss both entirely?
Correct. You still get a second opportunity to make one if you missed.
they were in talks about counting assists if the player was fouled + made their 1 free throw. I like that idea but havent seen it implemented yet.
Experimental rule to see if it speeds up games.
I mean, it will definitely speed them up.
Wait, what? I thought it was a typo on the score bug.
Please not in final 2 mins
Lolololololol that’s really stupid. Basketballs the only sport that requires fouls to succeed.
Just award 2 points for fouls. Skip the free throws. Add a 10 second run off to any fouls under 2 minutes.
Get rid of the BENEFITS to fouling. Such a stupid sport. Fouls should have ZERO benefits.
Holy. This is so dumb. The delays in the NBA happen because of the never ending timeouts in the last 2 minutes, not because they shoot 2 free throws instead of 1 lol
It’s cumulative.
You should be glad the league has a developmental league to experiment with.
It’s where we got coaches challenges and the end of quarter heaves not counting as FGA im pretty sure, which are both great changes
Do they use it anywhere else?
1st free throw is worth 2 points but if you miss it you get a second one for 1 point. I’d imagine it would speed up games but only barely the main issues is timeouts, ads, challenges and reviews
experimental rule theyre trying in the G League
One Free-Throw Rule: One free throw worth one, two or three points will be awarded in the event of any foul that would typically result in one, two or three free throws being shot under standard NBA rules; will not apply during the last two minutes of the fourth quarter or the entirety of any overtime period.
so you can score 3pts in just one FT? looks like a terrible rule
Wtf 😂
Giannis to the 905 confirmed
It’s a done deal
So is the joke about 67 that it doesn’t actually mean anything? Like that’s part of the humor?
I am old and dont have kids lol
I have watched this meme evolve, so I’ll give the run down.
Lamelo Ball is 6’7 ,and there is a song by artist Skrilla which includes the lyrics “6 - 7”. Someone made a horrendous Lamelo edit where it transitions from an analyst saying “he’s 6 foot 7” to the songs lyrics “6-7”. People found this funny which blew up the edit sound, which was then was used in a lot of basketball edits. Seeing this, high school basketballers would tr and get in the start of these transition edits by saying 6-7, which people found even more cring thus blowing the meme up further. Then it somehow escaped that bubble and just turned into repeating the phrase 67 whenever you see it
Where does the little “playing with a slinky” hand gesture come from?
the kid who exploded the memes popularity (for basically being deemed cringe) was doing it while he said the phrase, don’t think it has a specific meaning outside of that
If I remember correctly, that kid was doing the gesture because he saw a high school basketball player who did that gesture in one of the 6-7 edits.
slinky? found the unc!
Indeed. I was born in 1991. Disgusting right?
Be on the lookout for that AARP packet in your mailbox
If that guy is getting AARP packets, I’m well overdue to order my coffin.
It’s the same packet, you gotta flip to the back.
Source: I was born in the EIGHTIES.
:D
I’m sorry but you’re saying it is ORIGINALLY a basketball related meme?
Yeah, this is kind of blowing my mind. I never in a million years would’ve guessed that this would somehow tie back to Lamelo.
Yea technically. Started with Lamelo but the meme outgrew him and now it’s kinda standalone.
yeah, lamelo
Thank you for properly explaining this - it is so painful seeing others my age sound like complete boomers cuz they’re outside the bubble lmao
And 67 is likely from the police radio code in Philadelphia (where Skrilla is from) for a dead body.
“The way that switch brrt, I know he dying 6-7, I just bipped right on the highway”
Source: “is 67 just brain rot” on YouTube by Taylor Jones, a pretty cool YouTuber with a PhD in sociolinguistics. I really recommend his videos if it’s something ur interested in. There are other possibilities for 67, but his seems most compelling in the context of the lyrics
Is 67 considered a phrase
It’s a state of mind
I don’t know that I believe this is the legitimate driving factor given it’s been used mostly by young kids that aren’t watching basketball edits lol
It pretty much branched way beyond the original audience, which does happen with a lot of memes lol
SIX SEVENNN
Ah. Now I get it.
It’s a fun thing kids are having fun with. We said and did things just as stupid when we were young. Every generation has their lingo this is there’s and that’s fine with it.
I think it’s kinda fun, don’t see kids have genuine feelings/fun as much nowadays for fear of being judged/put online in a video clip as being weird.
Hamster Dance, All Your base, O Rly owl, and You’re The Man Now, Dog were sophisticated *smokes pipe*
https://yourethemannowdog.ytmnd.com/
This but unironically
When those kids become teens in a few years, they’ll look back at clips of themselves doing the 67 and cringe.
That’s life
Apparently but Im also old lol
I am pretty sure at least a portion of the fun is that no one over like 24 understands what is happening lol
Can confirm.
Thank you, young person.
It’s from a song made by someone on TikTok a couple years ago.
Yeah it’s like E for millenials
Can you explain ‘E’ for this gen-Xer?
Hope this helps
Say no more.
it just sounds funny i think. idk
It’s 4-1 now, kids have moved on
What does a gentlemen’s sweep have to do with brainrot
It’s quite literally that one scene from Spongebob
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZGedBzcYas
I love this shit.
Skibidi
this is hilarious and cute af and prolly the most cheers the 905 will ever hear
Commentators had no idea why the crowd was going crazy!
Ssssiiiiiiiiiiixxxxxxxxxxx….
#SEVENN
So that what it sounds like when a whole bunch of little kids start cheering 🤣 All in all, I’m glad they’re having fun.
Are the stands full of children or are actual adults doing this?
be slightly worried if a ton of adults turned up to a school day game
Had a G-League season ticket before. School day games were excluded by default.
We too busy on reddit instead
This was a school day game for the raptors 905 so mostly kids lol
Are free throws worth two in this league lol?
you take one ft but it worth 2 pts
A 2pt free throw?
Not gonna lie it’s grown on me
Hepburn? As in Badger’s legend Chucky Hepburn?
Jesus Christ
needless shot at the local hockey team.
Haha even the player was in on it
Six
six seven, six seven
Someone explain pls
It’s a six and it’s a seven.
What I’m with isn’t It, and what’s It seems weird and scary to me.
Did they skip a FT in the clip? The score went from 65 to 67 at the line.
In g league they shoot 1 FT for 2 points
My 5 year old nephew does it with a dance and it’s the cutest thing ever lol
That’s cute
This is fucking hilarious
It took me about 20 seconds to understand why this was a big deal. I initially read that the team scored 905 points.
I’ll never get the 67 meme. Typically I get why something gets popular and meme worthy but this may be the first one where im genuinely confused.
I don’t understand what kind of record that is?
It isnt a record, kids just go crazy for the number 67. its a meme
