[Highlight] Brunson breaks Anthony Black’s ankles for 36 on the night
He pushed but whatever lol
Caught his foot too
Judo toss for a basket lmao
Black was just trying to enjoy a succulent Chinese meal
Brunson went ta ta and farewell
Awe man, is Jalen gonna be in an Austin Powers reboot? I’m ready.
Jalen “Jaden McDaniels” Brunson
Brunsons foot was wrapped around blacks.
And carried the ball twice
Just once really with the left hand (the right hand looked clean), but point stands
I am so glad these are the top two comments. Was a nice move that created enough space for a 3, yes. Was it an ANKLE BREAKER OMG, no he tripped him and pushed him at the same time…
Yeah, I am so sick of these push-off “ankle breakers”. These shots are not being created by actual dribble moves at all.
Everytime I see a push off happen i go outside and yell at clouds
One day the clouds are gonna yell at you back and you are gonna be terrified to go outside ever again
Yeah this was not impressive (relatively speaking)
Replay made it clear as day
bro its obv in real time from the given camera angle. nephews out here w/o depth percep or situ awareness
Pushed him while standing on his foot
Got a cousin from Bmore who use to do this shit until he got punched in the face.
Wasn’t standing on his foot
Correct, he just tripped him up instead
In the wise words of Jared Goff… “Did they call it?”
Refs are always right yep
This
It is an obvious offensive foul, or at least it should be.
Why would feet getting caught up be an “offensive foul” because he didn’t fall also?
I’m talking about the obvious push off with the extended forearm.
I know right. Breaking ankles equals pushing the defender down I guess.
Yeahhh I wasn’t sure but it’s pretty obvious watching it back
How could you not be sure, was the most obvious push ever…
I’m glad this is the top comment. I was reviewing it in slo mo b4 I entered the thread.
There’s a push-off w his left forearm and his left foot is behind Anthony’s right foot, then we immediately see Anthony fall. There’s no ankle breaking here
The push-trip combo is crazy work
Can you imagine being coordinated enough to drive, push-trip, step back three? I can’t
they let it stand because it was damn impressive cheating
I’m sure you can’t
Got KAT with self passes and now this, game’s really transforming before our eyes
The refs call a foul on Curry, but he’s in another state.
It’d be a great SNL skit. In fact, run it into the ground. Have Jost be the ref, and Che be a stand-in for a cool headed coach who says ridiculous things that Jost writes. Bring them back during the weekend update interview after a 1-cutaway on Curry talking about the importance of children’s sports. Have Colin throw a flag probably hitting Curry, and blow a kazoo.
Turns into a future episode skit where Jost, is a heavy anti-drugs prosecutor, and he goes up against the local kingpin he found on a cover sting at a game. Turns out it was Curry (but it should have been Tim Curry. At some point Steph realizes that the video being shown as evidence is just Rocky Horror Picture Show, and acclaims that it couldn’t possibly be him as he wasn’t born until after the stage show ended its original run.
The cutback to the prosecutor is just Colin with the ref shirt on and he throws another flag. The judge listens to Referee Jost ramble on about an unlawful admission, and ultimately sustains the objection. Steph tries to contest, but the judge says that, “Ah-ah-ah, Mr. Curry, you don’t want this to be leveled up to a Super Foul, do you?!” The bailiff then wheel in a goal and a cart of balls to have the 3-person prosecution team prove their case. They brick every shot as the music plays them out, Steph picks up a couple and tosses them.
Then he signs one and puts it on a “charity/For The Kids” jar that’s on the judges podium thing. They give me that ball.
30 years later, players gonna be straight up punching in the face to create space
30 years later it’ll be like 40 years earlier. Fashion really is a cycle.
Wild combo
c-c-c-c-c-combo
announcers talking about it too but like hes sitting there waiting for a whistle, nothing about him upset it happened, hes upset he got fouled LOl
Great move, should be added to NBA 2K as a DLC pack of dirty moves.
That’s a weird way to say he tripped him
Still an efficient way to break someone’s ankles
I….well..
Valid. I don’t like it, but valid.
You are technically correct
New offensive meta for the next ten years
SGA already working on adding this to his bag
Ankles remain unbroken when it’s a push off tho
I don’t know if he pushed off, but he definitely tripped him.

Is this not making contact? I did not see the replay
With the arm? Yes, but making contact doesn’t mean s push off.
…sweep the leg.
Don’t forget the push.
Lol he definitely tripped him, what is this title
Brunson breaks his ankles (directly)
“Sweep the leg, big head”
-Josh Hart, probably
Lose the game - wizards, lilley
Brunson breaks his block with a quick low kick, medium punch combo.
Wait, what subreddit am I in again?
Click bait shit like usual. Weird that there are no replays, huh?
Ankles HATE this one WEIRD trick!
Clip farmers rarely care about the content or even understand basketball. They just want karma. They dont really watch the game.
90% of ankle breakers are trips anyway
Their feet got tangled he didn’t trip him.
If you aren’t watching this game, you are missing out big time. The pace is incredible
I’m locked in for these games tonight this is some good pace and I hope Suggs can bounce back. Hopefully whatever is going on with him doesn’t worsen
I like the nba cup
I like turtles
Offensive foul.
It’s crazy that if you trip someone while defending it’s an easy call. You trip someone as the ball handler and it’s breaking their ankles.
Fr! Defense is dead
Have you met the reigning mvp?
he definitely did the other night lol
doesnt count. that guy practice with the refs on their spare time.
That was a pushoff and we all know it lol
While tripping him at the same time.
Push off is considered acceptable to a degree. It’s the trip that gets me.
Ya he literally “broke his ankles”
This clip could have been 10 seconds shorter
I kept rewinding it thinking I must’ve missed the action at the beginning or something
When’s the last time we’ve seen an ankle break without a push off?
https://youtu.be/RmqoCgjh5N4?si=szhJdrajRDKzhtyi
Deandre Hunter on Giddy a month ago
Dude this one was so glorious it took Giddy out a few games lmao
That’s a dive
Brunson had a monster one last playoffs against the Pistons that was ridiculously clean.
The one on Ausar or a different one
That’s the one.
He also had one on Caruso at the corner 3
By Brunson himself against Ausar Thompson in last playoffs lmao
Didn’t see the foot until they just showed the replay.
Definitely not an ankle breaker unless you mean literally breaking his ankles with that trip lol
was that not a travel too when he first got the ball? Looked he was just running holding it lol
I can’t stand that the modern NBA lets this shit happen
such a joke.
The game is faster than ever, but this is really shameful how much is let go that are simple, clear rules to enforce.
Pushed and tripped. Pretty blatant.
Has anyone ever actually improved a sentence by saying “on the night/on the season”?
Yeah he absolutely shoved him.
This is what makes the NBA look pathetic, when they pretend something is a highlight just for clicks
No one gonna mention the travelling? Bro took like five steps with the ball in both hands.
Travels have extended to handoffs. I’ve seen some egregious handoffs this year. No one complained, so it might be as new interpretation of the rule by the refs.
Only Knicks fans would post this and not be embarrassed lol
The magic play rugby every single game lol
Lmao shut up you dweeb
He tripped him lol
Push off. Not an ankle breaker
Ridiculous no call lol
Did he hit his ankles with a hammer? I didn’t see any sort of cross over.
Can we please separate breaking ankles via amazing handles vs via a grappling throw
Egregious non-call lmao
Had to be the Knicks fan with that title
Yeah that’s an offensive foul
HELL naw
The fuck? He shoved the shit out of him
I like his sad look at the ref and little point. Then no call.
He tripped him wtf 😂
Push off as normal. Brunson doing Brunson things.
Brunson tripped him with his forehead.
He also took 2-3 steps before he started to dribble when receiving the pass initially. Should dribbling just be removed a you just run with the ball now?
Certainly did not break his ankles lmao shameless
Imagine Brunson and Luka together. Fuckin Mavs.
Shameless post and shameless push/trip offensive foul lmao
Push off offensive foul
Push off
Sick of these “ankle breaker” vids where the offensive player obviously trips the defender.
Insane offensive foul - this is worse than Jordan on Russell
Push off and tripped him up. Old trick in the streets and nba ball
didn’t break shit lol, chill with the title
Yeah he didn’t break anything
Crazy title can’t tell if sarcasm
wft is up with that scorebug? Why is it gigantic and in the middle of the screen?
Welcome to Amazon Prime!
Brunson has the best whistle in the league lmao
Breaking ankles and pushing off so synonymous with you people.
99% of highlights like these are just offensive fouls. No exception here lol.
Damnnnnn
This ain’t no damn ankle breaker 😂
The super casual receiving of a pass in to a travel then to crossover with the high hanging carry/stutter and then also to intentionally push off and step back to a shot is the worst of the NBA. Y’all eat that shit up tho. Yes you called the push off but everything else, you let it slide. Kawhi’s famous shot? He ran 4 steps after getting the ball, otherwise he never gets that shot off! Y’all still think that was the best shit ever. He fucking traveled from the get. I’m so disappointed in the nephews and the grand nephews for what y’all let happen to the game. smfh.
20 seconds of your 30 second clip is completely irrelevant. Great clip!
Anyone else just getting the same Shaq interview video on every post?
Ooof
Why do we call it “breaking ankles” whenever someone falls? He did not break his ankles lol.
He also fully traveled going around the Mitch ball screen but I’m a Knick fan so it’s all good
Jalen traveling?
Terrible headline
Looks cool so they don’t call a foul, how it works in the NBA
Bro pulled out his martial arts skills with this one.
That’s how you properly cheat a bucket for the highlights reel
Jalen Brunson has changed my life
I’ve never been impressed by these. He tripped him. Put his foot in front of his and pushed. It’s not impressive if someone on D stumbles because usually the “ankle breaker” move is a move that any high schooler can do.
These push offs need to stop being glamorized
Maybe he’s a judo black belt and we just don’t know about it. That was a smooth trip.
Clear push off lol but good
Tripping is a foul, right?
Man he pushed and tripped him. I’d be so fuckin heated if I was Anthony Black haha. I’d become a goddamn forensic scientist so I could break down this video in slow motion to show how Jalen is a baby back bitch
The first 20 seconds of this 30 second clip are integral to the story line
It was a push off for sure. Brunson got away with one, but as others said, it was inconsequential to the outcome.
He broke his ankles with his foot 🤣
Anthony black has been flopping all game so fuck it if Bruson pushed off this time.
Pushed off
Didn’t know tripping people was breaking their ankles
Brunson took 4 steps as soon as he got the ball before he started dribbling.
Huge Brunson fan, but this is not really a true ankle breaker. I agree with the no calls on these types of trips because they’re pretty impossible to do intentionally but it’s not like it’s really putting someone on skates to step on their foot.
if it was anything it was a charge.
brunson pushed him. on what planet was that a charge??
i thought he extended his arm to push off but I watched again and he kept it crooked…so my bad on that. It’s not an ankle breaker by any stretch.
Hate pushoffs tbh. Should be a foul but its hard to call when youre slick with it
John Heisman would be proud.
i love brunson but holy shit, he fucking SHOVED that boy!
I too could create distance if I bury my shoulder in their chest and shove with my forearm.
That’s cold bleed, I mean cold blooded.
Push and trip
do you guys remember gosh giddey getting his ankles broken? somebody link me
Double took the title
Push off and trip, 2 offensive fouls
this counts as “breaking ankles” now?
95% of the time in these clips they either trip or push the defender
🫡 Cap!
This this most honeypot ass title alive ever seen. What a let down. Where’s the ankle breaker?
Bro wtf lol , he pushed him and caught his foot. He had a great game but this is absolutely not an ankle breaker, now Deandre hunter on Josh giddey a few weeks ago ….that was an ankle breaker
That’s a BAD man.
Normal r/nba day of enjoying a highlight
Brunson shoves AB onto the ground for an uncalled offensive foul, there fixed title for you
The travel when he gets the ball too
Kawhi does the same thing the other night and turn over lmaooooo
What about the traveling? I swear, I don’t understand the traveling rule anymore. It definitely isn’t the same as when I was a kid
FP-> MP->LK->HP
This shit gotta be a bot right?
I’m gunna sell Netflix on a series of NBA highlight reals where life long fans shit in their own Cheerios about if a human 1000% better than them did a thing that didn’t count….
Someone doesn’t know what ankle breaking is. Plus, he’s a spammer.
Black is a good defender too. Thats disgusting even if he did push a little.
