Stephon Castle is blamed for breaking the rim before the Spurs-Rockets game, causing a 20-minute delay
Nah. Blame it on poor maintenance. Standard NBA rims can resist 1k lbs of force. A 215 lbs player shouldn’t have broke that, even if they held it for long.
Castle’s just different like that
Stephon 1000 lb Castle
yeah was gonna say, back in the day Vince Carter would do pullups on the rim as his pre-game ritual
Ikr. Even Wade does that.
My man hate to break it to you but Wade has been retired for years
What? How is that even relevant? We’re talking about players hanging in the rim during pre-game.
Dawg he’s making fun of your verb tense
Oh ok. Didn’t know the grammar police is present today. My bad. Lol
Also, Wade still plays in my heart (no pause).
He went on a bulk

Nice dunk pretty boy!
If castle can mess it up like that it was never going to hold up for the game
…I was expecting a Shaq-like power dunk. Not impressed honestly lol
And right as you were posting this …
now that was impressive!
Rockets should get 20 extra points now.
He knew the replacement rim would be lucky, as evidenced by the Spurs scoring 70 in the first half. Excellent strategy by Steph
Lucky enough
Bro just did a windmill dunk and 1!
Bad rim tbh. Jamal Murray hangs on the rim all the time in pre game.
If that’s all it took then the rim was gonna get messed up during the game anyways
He’s just too excited. He’s too rough on the rim. He pulls on the rim. He wrenches on the rim. He thinks it’s his.
RimGate solved!
I thought rims would be better or did they soften them up since the departure of Shaq?
They are better. They can handle 1k pounds of force. Players do pull ups on rims frequently. This rim would’ve bent mid game, castle is not a heavy player at all
Big boiiii
We got feds out here
post the windmill
Was expecting something more lol
College basketball has a rule where if you dunk during warmups it’s a technical foul and 2 free throws before the game starts, before tip-off, a game can start 2-0
If you listen closely…..
You can hear Tim Donaghy clap
Castle is Shaq 2.0 confirmed
Man, between the shot clocks and this, the Rockets are having all kind of problems this year.
Ambatukam did it again
