[Highlight] Peacock broadcast plays a montage of Dwight Powell taking a beating during the Knicks and Mavericks game
Reggie Miller calling it a “highlight hack-age” right after was a good one.
This is the “Did Dwight Powell Get Hit in the Face Tonight” Twitter page is going to hav a field day with this game.
Forgot about that shit. Too funny
Among other things lmao
I had no idea this existed, it’s beautiful.
I thought he called it a highlight… package
Let’s see the Draymond package hackage package
Welcome to your Kodak moment, Dwight Powell
Reggie couldn’t describe it any better
KAT shooting a 3, turning his body sideways, and kicking Powell in the nuts might be the most egregious.
I cant even begin to try to explain that one. Right out Draymond’s natural motion school of arts
I mean drays done it a few times in his career. KAT’s done it like 5 times in this game lol
Dray kicked Stephen Adams in the nuts 3 times in a series
“a few” is not synonymous with a dozen
Show me a dozen?
I’d rather never touch a basketball again than try to guard KAT for a game
🤣
Motion school of martial arts
Draymond probably could host a camp teaching the dark arts
Can’t see the full play, but if he caught it off a pin down and shot over his left shoulder, then it’s natural to swing your leg like that.
It’s taught in middle school to swing your legs to square your shoulders to the basket. Demar and Klay do it best because of how smooth it looks for them.
Here’s an example: https://youtu.be/rN8UrQTq7X0?si=8tqBn3ZtFtzMaSKL&t=18
no
okay?
L2M report would say that should’ve been a shooting foul
Reminded me of Carlos Boozer punching Danny Crawford
One of the funniest gifs of all time
The second one.
Man that one is just absolutely insane
My eyes!
Draymond Green would be proud with that second clip. That leg is equipped with nut-seeking technology
I think thats exactly it but his leg flies up late and very very high and far
Yup. And it looked like Dwight was chasing him off a screen (cant really tell) so he was contesting from KAT’s left shoulder.
Combine the angle and KAT’s herky jerky style of play and you get this
this misses the next one where kat kicks powell in his nuts which causes powell to kick kat in the nuts lol
Yes lol straight comedy
I saw that one first and thought “I guess I can accept the possibility that getting hit in the nuts might cause a reflexive kick out like that” but having seen this compilation he had straight up had enough and deliberately hammered KAT. And you know what? I’m ok with that.
If it happens once, okay it’s an accident.
If it keeps happening, the guy is either malicious or out of control. And if the refs don’t do something about it, the players will, and rightfully so.
I’ve got nothing against KAT, but you can’t be doing that.
Has your the wolves fan? Anytime I watch him he sorta looks like a baby deer.
Brother, are you ok? Do you smell burnt toast?
Dunno if it’s me with the stroke reading this or you with the stroke writing this
KAT has been trying to end Powell’s bloodline
Taking those Giannis trade rumors out on Dwight’s Powells
Dwight gave him that “nice try bud” smile at the end there, even
He assaults anyone who makes him tired, which is everyone now that he’s out of shape and gassed in Q1 most games. I’ve despised KAT since he elbowed Toumani in the neck for the crime of playing good defense.
Looked like an Arkham Knight henchman after you do the cape stun –> beatdown
“It’s da KAT!”
What I would pay for an Arkham mod that replaces every goon with Dwight Powell
KAT:🟡🟪🟪🟪🟪🟪🟪🟪🟪🟪
x1 x2 x3 x45678
Honestly this is suspension worthy. This doesn’t even include the other time Powell was hit in nuts that caused him to kick Kat in the nuts due to his reflex/reaction. At least 5 different hits to the Mavs GOAT smh
Powell should have kicked harder
I wouldn’t mind if this became a thing. Highlights of someone taking a beating or flopping.
Powell is legendary for getting hit in the face so often lmao
I just saw the comment about the Twitter account tracking his face hits lol.. legendary stuff
Definitely in the same vein as Theis a few years ago. Dude would just be existing, get clobbered in the face, and the refs would do that little open palm gesture at him. Rinse and repeat
Him hitting his face jumping on a doorway drives me insane
The players are too sensitive for this to happen. This was done before but the player’s association quickly ended it
The way KAT just flails his limbs around is hilarious and maddening
KAT is in full meltdown.
This dude gets hit in the face at least once each game lol
KAT looking around for a foul call after these is hilarious.
Dwight “Scott Sterling” Powell
The MAN
The MYTH
THE LEGEND
I unironically love Dwight Powell. Been here for over a decade, taken more hits than most players will ever see. Decent rebounder, good screen setter, good playmaker out of the short roll and from the paint to the corner. Love my pained-Goat
I wasn’t sure if he was still in the league, and here he is taking more shots to the nuts in a single game than most players suffer in their entire career. Respect. The NBA’s Mick Foley.
Mav’s truly won the Rondo trade because of him
He gets memed on because individually hes never been an incredible player, but dude has always been great team player. Great at being in the right place at the right time, doing the little things. You cant get hit in the face that much if youre not where the action is.
Dirty plays by Towns
KAT working his knees to the nuts or what? It was way too active.
Powell: He keeps kicking me in the nuts! Why does he keep kicking me in the nuts!?
If you can’t beat em, beat em
I am sure the coaches are trying to get KAT to be aggressive, but this highlight just shows that he’s being reckless
This. Sometimes better to let dudes play their game and just coach around their weaknesses. This is insane
how dare you hit my GOAT and future GM like this
KAT still mad about 2024 WCF
All natural basketball moves, nothing to see here!
The 2 hits to the family jewels..OUCH!
3 in a single game, they didn’t show the 3rd on this montage
We should build him a statue and it has to be him reeling in pain for getting hit in the face
Powell takes the most punishment of anyone in the league. A compilation of the hits in his career would be an hour long per season lol
That last clip with KAT just throwing double Falcon Knees at Powell and he’s shocked he didn’t get a call… lol
Dwight been getting beat up for his whole career. Shoutout to peacock for giving him his moment
Dwight Powell with an all time get hit in the face(and nuts) performance tonight. He is really going out with a bang in his final season.
Reminder that according to the rules the guy in the blue shirt fouls the guy in the white shirt in these
Dwight Powell really took one for the team tonight not every highlight is a dunk or a three some are just pure hustle and pain reggie calling it highlight hack age made it even better do you guys think refs should protect players more in these situations or is this just part of the game?
https://i.imgur.com/HZtaWyv.jpeg
The look, lol
Dudes in full crash out. Send him to the g league
Powell looks like ‘Big Time Willie’ from He Got Game with that goatie
Watching the Knicks and Thunder try to draw fouls is just awful basketball. Literally they never get called for it and somehow seem to benefit from calls more often than the other way around. Just despicable reffing these days
kat got the draymond career highlight reel in one game damn
KAT is real fucking good but the way he plays his game is ridiculously funny. This is the new normal for KAT😭
Wtf hell no 🤣 bro kneed him twice in a row
I feel like there should be an investigation over this. Was there an over/under bet on nut shots for this game?
Channeling the spirit of Draymond Green.
KAT really wanted to feel them balls
Man took more damage than Eugene from Hey Arnold.
To me it doesn’t even look like he connects with the head on the two non kick plays.
His temperament man. KAT’s a solid human being and maybe Powell knows cause this could’ve been a fight.
SCOTT STERLING
Powell showing everyone how it feels to be a Mavs fan.
Imagine getting bullied by KAT
Who got the flagrant?
For a troll, Dwight Powell needs to come out next Mavs vs Knicks game wearing body padding…
That second clip has to be intentional because how the fuck you kicking sideways like a Rockette on a jump shot
Shooting for 3 but he only got 2 was wild
Yall Did Bad Tonight Knicks 👎🏾
Kat terrorizing him, what a bully
Kaaarrrll, that kills people!
Headbutt , kick to the groin , elbow , 2nd kick the groin and a charlie horse ridiculous lol
Bros the Hans Moleman of the nba
lmao poor guy
KAT is always awkward on drives but most of these are Powell’s fault. There’s a reason he’s always getting hit in the face, it’s because he leads with his face. The 3-point rockette leg kick by KAT is 100% an offensive flagrant though, hard to see that as anything other than dirty and intentional.
I don’t even think it’s malicious or intentional at all on KAT’s part. He just as some of the worst body control I’ve ever seen from an elite athlete. It’s been a theme for him since he entered the league.
Kick to Nuts Style, when done correctly, no can defend.
Give offensive players all the power in the world and take away any power from the defense. Thank you Adam silver!
Does this mean Towns REALLY LIKES Dwight Powell ???
Kat targetting mid section? after all that?hmmm
TBH I love watching KAT beat the crap out of his defenders…he has one of, if not, the worst whistle in the league…granted he has no body control and commits incredibly stupid fouls, but he gets hacked and whacked but gets no calls due to his size
Crazy flops ngl
