Do these guys not realize how much these two actively plain just dont like each other?

I fucking love beef. I want war between these two mutants!!! 

Dirk and Nash need to get high together Iike in that pic for old times sake

Dirk doesnt like disrespect, as demonstrated by the 2011 finals

The face Blake makes when he starts to say “too swaggy” is the same face of the people who know that response is going to get blown out of proportion lol

I love shit talking like this because you have to back it up. Let’s see if Wemby can.

Wemby doesn’t really strike me as the type who cares about every word he says being dissected. I think he’s just answering honestly with no disrespect intended. 

Was he wrong tho tbh? He’s saying yeah Chet’s great and all but the reigning mvp is the main threat.

Wemby may have been a little distracted when giving his answer.

Props to the camera man tho

Well, Wemby backed it up at least

Well, Wemby is focused on the Superstar of that team. Not the guy averaging 18ppg who can be the 3rd option and face no critcism

the guy put up 9 points agains the Timberwolves in the in-season tournament game and no one batted and eye. It’s levels to this

Wemby better back it up tgen

I love it. Chet will take it personally

Wemby can say whatever TF he wants to say about the competition.

Wemby is a top five player in the nba on the tier of SGA.

Chet is not. I think Wemby’s answer was fine and honest

Either way can’t wait to see this game

Love me some Dirk

I mean, why worry about the 3rd option guy

“Too swaggy” is gonna feed nbacj for days

Wemby has always been like that. Did yall not see him and CP at the all star game? How he acted when Houston didn’t get 1st pick in his draft?

Waaaah he needs to be more respectful waaahh

Chet is pretty mid to me man. Don’t hate me in the comments

This setup is not a big win for Steve Nash… got a real, “we welcome you to munchkin land ,” type of vibe here, lol

Honestly I think it’s kinda wild because Wemby’s answer was pretty fair, if it wasn’t for Shai’s gravity the Thunder co-stars wouldn’t be nearly as effective. It’s also weird because while Chet and Wemby are linked in age and past experience playing against each other before the NBA in international competition, Wemby is simply on another level than Chet and it’s unlikely Chet ever closes that gap.

That’s no disrespect to Chet– he’s a very good player and plays a very important role for that team– but he’s not in the same tier as Wemby at all.

swaggy p catching strays

I don’t care. I prefer when the guys are show off vs being so nice / demure. I am here for a show, not for a conference of niceties

Dirk trying to stir up some shit.

dirk once got flamed cuz he said someone else could guard him & wouldn’t take credit for himself. its just who he is

what did he say that was dismissive?

Pretty sure Wemby saying without saying Chet isn’t on his level enough to talk about him lol

I love Wemby’s swagger. The confidence and intensity is great for the sport

Nah, if they don’t like each other, what’s wrong with that lol. Like thy can respect each other but not ever acknowledge it and that’s okay

That’s the most animated I’ve seen Dirk since he’s had this job

Has Chet ever said anything about Wemby? Real question.

The only thing I recall Chet doing was in a game last year —Chet shoulder checked him and got an offensive foul called after Wemby flexed on him after block at the other end.

Don’t recall Chet talking any noise at Wemby

The NBA was trying to sell Chet v Wemby. Feels like Wemby bought into it.

Am I wrong?

Dirk can say whatever he wants to say but he wrong here!!

I want all the disrespect we can get in the league.

We are finally over the Lebron “FRIENDSHIP LETS ALL BE FRIENDS FRIENDSHIP” era.

This is just clean ole fashioned hate. ©TM. Let’s go to commercial.

Let it rock!!

hell yeah Dirk start some shit!!! I love how he masterfully just did that, he wasn’t offensive to either party, but he voiced his displeasure and it’s SURELY going to make waves in the NBA universe now.

That’s just beautiful way to do it. Fucking love Dirk so much

Blake and Taylor’s faces killed me 😂😂

Rivalries are the shit, in any sport some of the best moments in sports are how much 2 teams or players hate each other. I’m all for the hate train.

Wendy 3 at end of half was sweet af. 

90% of the people in here never even knew Dirk unless they 40. He never liked the big talk. Prove it on the court and keep your mouth shut until you win something.

This reeks of media talk for needing to say something for the sake of saying it. The reality none of them would have had a differing mentality if they were still playing. It was also extremely mild and professional lol it’s not like he went full on mamba mentality, he gave respects to Jokic, Shai and Giannis which are the only players he should be saying anything about; in regards to the best players in the league. Chet isn’t even in top 5 considerations, let alone the best player on his team; fuck we talking about.

Eh

I can’t say I like the way they play but OKC is one of the best teams ever created.

Champions

Shut up dirk. Comn man

What was said?

The rivalry that doesn’t really make any sense but we’re all here for it anyway

[deleted]

what an all time trash take and stance, comparing chet to wemby is beyond laughable as they arent even on the same planet as far as playing ability

Fuck all those flopping bums. Wemby doesn’t have to show them an ounce of respect. I didn’t like him much before, but I sure do now.

Spurs fans don’t give a fuck what dirk has to say

I want to be a Wemby fan so bad but damn he says some off the wall shit sometimes.

Speak for yourself Dirk, L take. I live for this. Wemby is refreshingly honest and leans into a wrestling bravado. More of this

Realistically, how long and how successful of a career do we expect from Wemby with his injury history? I don’t really follow the spurs, but he seems to get hurt a lot. Being built like an alien can’t help that. How long until it starts catching up with him?

Soft take by Dirk

Tfb Dirk. Wemby thinks Chet is a bitch and he’s not wrong. If i acted like Chet at work I’d be fired for racism.

Hope wemby doesn’t become all talk and his availability becomes more important then his ability

don’t know what Wemby is yapping about he hardly plays

Wemby is a lame to me if and until he does something. Can’t even stay healthy. He was always into smelling his own farts. The thing about LeBron being The Chosen One: he backed it up. Wemby hasn’t done shit yet. 

difference between class and ass

This sub stays on its knees for Dirk
