Mr. Luguentz Dort performs a defensive action on Mr. Giannis Antetokounmpo
Average lu dort snap
Natural lu dirt blocking motion
Was there any attempt at the ball at all?
Natural forearm to Chet at the beginning, but hey! :)
Forearm push off is done by literally every player in the league, yeah it should probably be called if you want to extend the game out another hour, but look at your god damn flair dude, SGA is great at it and especially at making it look natural.
Clotheslines to the head seem to only be in the repertoire of a few players though
Kevin McHale?
Yea, not many 6’4 players in the league try to block/guard Giannis. But I do hope this goes double karma platinum for you guys!
You have my updoot! Reddit on soldier xD
His height has nothing to do with how dirty he his. That’s just who he is regardless. Your sarcasm isn’t working.
I updooted.
Jk, Dorts a dirty player and disgrace that should be banned from the league entirely
Why can’t you be objective? Like just because you’re a homer doesn’t mean you can’t see when something is flagrant
Yeah, but noone, I repeat noone injures more players than Dort! And if you could find a guy I’d love to hear about it, because I’ve been looking and it seems like Dort is already the goat ligament snatcher. Pat Bev, Dray fuck even Lambeer, you name it, none of them have cause players to miss more games than Dort in his young career so far.
Generational ligament and tendon snatcher. Get him out of the league.
but hey, SGA also does it :)
Yea I don’t see that on here tho. Or any of the perfection SGA showed tonight. He dominated the game from start to finish.
Man, I’m so disappointed whenever he does that shit. I legit love his defensive game when he’s actually being disciplined. He’s just so fucking good, I’ve been a fan since his first year. I was excited to watch him take on prime 40ppg Harden when we played them. Then he pulls shit like this. Come on, man.
Giannis is a lot to deal with. Just like any other elite player that scores in the paint.
It’s going to happen. They’re going to get fouled.
Of course, but fouled is one thing and scalped is another.
Ah yes, I too scalp players on the other team when they’re too much to deal with. Sometimes I just sucker punch them. Works like a treat every time /s
Dumbass take lol
Hate watching this dude on the court
This is why you need an enforcer. Just do to SGA what Dirt is doing to your team’s star player.
You’d go to prison if you even pull SGA’s eyelash
It’s possible to be tough while avoiding this type of injury possibility. Shai does need to get rough, but safe treatment. He’s going to the line any way, it might as well be a proper personal that doesn’t allow a plus one. He’s nowhere near the Jordan rules good, but his whistle is. So it’s adjusting to zebras really. Someone has to try it. Because the refs allowed Caruso to stop Jokic while Shai was “untouchable”. This has to be addressed, even if he gets to shoot 40 free throws.
Correct. I’m all for tough play and hard fouls to prevent an easy bucket, but swinging your arm at a man’s head is just too much. Giannis should be allowed to get up and haymaker him straight in the face.
What Caruso got away with vs Jokic, I don’t even think they’d allow it in the 70’s
Him and sga
The best team in the NBA having the most blatantly dirty player in the NBA is so bad for this league
The warriors had draymond for years
Wasn’t good either
Lakers had Metta
Bulls had Rodman
Pistons had… everybody
Those dudes were fouling/tech’ing out of games on the regular though
This clip is the definition of a flagrant (doesn’t even make a play on the ball, just hits him in the head), dort still doesn’t have a single flagrant this season, and only 2 techs through half a season? Shit doesn’t add up.
He doesn’t have the antics of Rodman or Metta, so yeah that’s very different. Same with Draymond.
But the pistons? The pistons played like that FOR SURE
Draymond is a flailing flopping tantrum-throwing bum. His above average defense is shadowed by his bs.
You keep Joe Dumars name out your mouth.
Don’t put Dirty Dort in the same sentence as Rodman and Artest. You stupid Thunder Flopper.
Yeah true dorts never thrown a punch
At least when Artest threw that elbow to harden he didnt get injured. Noone injures more players than Dort and idk about you id rather my star player get shoved or even punched than having them seriously injured.
lol come on man, intent has to matter at some point!
Your point being? Theres intent to hurt someone and to play it off in both cases regarding Harden.
You don’t have to downplay what Artest did.
Dirty Dort and Caruso slap and kick players while SGA runs into… no one… makes a dumb face.. falls down… 4 free throws. You are not a team, you are a circus. Thunder Flopper fans are the dumbest fans I have ever seen and I have seen a lot.
Maybe you should try watching the games instead of being a hater who clearly knows jack squat about the NBA. If you enjoyed the game then watching tonight was an absolute gem from SGA and a defensive master class of how to contain Giannis, who was pretty silent most of the game being guarded by Dort. If there was a dirty play in this game it was Bobby Portis cheap shotting Cason Wallace after SGA broke him and put him on his ass
Damn you’re right great point
There is a video of Dort swiping at their best players head and you Thunder Flopping fans still say “elite defence”. Caruso and Dort run around slapping and kicking players and SGA falls down when someone opens the arena doors and some wind passes through.
Spurs had Bruce Bowen.
When the Pistons did it, it was cool. Also, way more physical era
Draymond never faces consequences either. Kept it going to the point refs refuse to eject him. He’s got a podcast and a cushy media job set up for when he retires.
Draymond never faces consequences either
The man has over 25 games lost due to disciplinary suspensions from the league, including a Finals games. That’s some consequences at least.
Id say losing 2016 cuz u got suspended is a consequence.
Draymond so prolific he’s got people forgetting about Bogut.
Honourable Zaza mention cause he built his rep elsewhere.
I understand the league never wants to see a Rudy Tomjanovich situation again but holy fuck do I want to see Draymond and Dort get punched square in the face
I want someone to FINALLY get tired of their shit and just know their fucking lights out
It’s always been like that lmao. Warriors had Draymond, Lakers had MWP, Spurs had Bruce Bowen, Pistons had literally everybody, the list goes on and on.
funny how common this is
Meh not really, the problem is that it’s only allowed one way. No one is allowed close enough to SGA for this to happen to him
Brooks exists
Dirty ass Dort
D.A.D. Dirty Ass Dort
Lu Dirt with his signature dorty defense
lu “do dirty” dort
Dirty piece of shit didnt even attempt to to after the ball
Yeah just like Draymond?
Just like draymond
Not all of us like draymond
You realise that Giannis was crouched down when Dort wound up. And his eyes were on the ball.
Absolutely it’s a foul. And yes he does dirty shit. But this was just a foul.
This is a flagrant by any definition, not “just a foul”.
Also he does dirty shit every game so how does he get the benefit of the doubt?
0 flagrants this year btw.
Yes, we already know Dort doesn’t get called on his dirty plays.
“Just a foul”?? Bro you’re cooked.. Epitome of why noone respects your fan base.. utterly delusional.
I can’t believe they called a foul on Dort. That’s how you know Giannis is a superstar
Reminds me of this play from 27 days ago. https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/1pvo1hl/highlight_lu_dort_with_the_questionable_play_at/
I knew exactly what that would be before clicking on the link. Shouldn’t have gone through with it… just makes the hatred of that hack ratchet up even more.
Thunder flairs will say that Wemby flopped
Well, Mr. Giannis Antetokounmpo shouldn’t have performed such an offensive action on Mr. Luguentz Dort’s teammate.
Surprised this thread has not commented more on this fact. I get the OKC hate here, especially when the reputation is that calls seemingly favor them more than any other team, but Antetokounmpo did foul Holmgren there.
Only comment I’ve seen yet that mentions Giannis’s NFL stiff-arm tactic. Absurd. Was an offensive foul before Dort even got there.
Had to scroll to find this, how wasn’t giannis called for the foul
He only broke one rib so they let it go.
Yep that’s definitely why he did that 🙄 and then going straight for the head
dirty ass weirdo player
This scum should’ve been kicked out of the league long ago
They won’t until he injures another star player but by then it’s too late
Pat Bev stayed in the league for quite a while after diving at a star’s knee. The league doesn’t care and players only get kicked out when they suck.
Dort literally injured Harden, Pg and Ingram twice. Thats just the beggining of it. The guy is already the goat at injuring players at such a young age. Generational dirty player.
I’d rather watch Dillon Brooks or PatBev than to watch this guy hurt people. Dude plays dirty.
This dudes such a bum
The biggest bum.
Thunder Flopper fans: “WhY DoEs EveryOne Hate US?!”.
The dumbest fans in NBA history.
Keep thinking the lakers have a real chance this year, champ.
Chris Finch pays zero rent
Hornets fan 😹
OKC fans again nowhere to be seen when lu dirt does some of his bs again
What do you want them to say lol?
We couldn’t say shit when Bruce Bowen was doing his shit in the 2010s.
For whatever fucking reason every single dominant team has a dirty player on it.
Including… Giannis, who himself is dirty.
Not saying it wasn’t a foul but it’s crazy to me how the narrative he’s the dirtiest player of all time grows in this sub with slowmo replays without context
I watched this live, no one thought it was dirty. If anything people thought Giannis committed an offensive foul on Chet, and afterwards dort fouled him
How’s champagnie’s (or something like that idk how the spell his name) obsession on kicking the legs of the defender doing?
He genuinely just shouldn’t be in the league. He has no positive basketball attributes beyond just standard athleticism and a lenient whistle
He kept his focus on the ball as if what he did was remotely close to attempting to get it lol
Cleanest Dort defensive play
This dude is the NBA version of the overly physical yet underskilled guy at LA fitness
Both Giannis and Dort are dirty.
Draymond can retire anytime he wants knowing there is another great man willing to carry his legacy.
Offense is the best Defense
Was this flagrant 1?
How has he not been suspended yet? These are wildly flagrant.
Muh dorture chamber
We need Ron Artest back in the NBA
Standard Do-ort
nO eAsY bUcKeTs 😤
Dorris Burke sounds like Dig-Dug here.
dirtiest player in the league
Lu “The Destroyer” Dort.
i thought the oldheads liked this sort of play
He deserves that after he armlocked my boy Barnhizer
Get this dude out the league, dirty ass Dort
Where is the guy that fouls? 👉 Dort.
Dort has been doing this Bush league bs for quite some time. When will the enforcers put a stop to this? Why hasn’t anyone hard screen him or just outright Ud his ass?
Like it’s so egregious that I’m actually invested in an okc player’s comeuppance lol
He’s such a fucking bitch
Payback for Chet shove.
Not to worry guys this that 90s defense that a lot of people want to see /s
Why teams don’t get some bench scrub to target dirty players like this as a preventative measure is beyond me.
NBA: the head is part of the ball now
Nah bro, you’re clearly nitpicking videos.
How does this guy not get fined
GO GET EM DORT!!!! Named Dorturechamber for a reason (yes he’s dirty but I still support him he’s our player(
Marginal contact if it was vs the Wolves.
fuck this guy and his bum ass team
This is an offensive foul on Chet
But no one will ever see the dirty play giannis did against barnhizer where he tried to break his arm
I wouldn’t mind this non-call if they didnt call every infraction on the other side too btw.
Lu Dorts defense sure looks a lot like attack
Typical Thunder Floppers.
He should unironically be banned from the league before this dirty coward injured another star player
Elbow for elbow
This is how the NBA was back in the 90s, no cap. If you don’t believe me, here I have receipts. Check it out. Stop whinging if you’re also part of the community that says otherwise.

lol the downvotes. And one was called hmmmm
Dort is a dirty player. Giannis is a dirty player.
I don’t have much sympathy when they get a little nasty with each other.
I can atleast respect you also called Giannis dirty
It’s the perfect clip for both of them
Lmao Giannis literally elbow locked and slammed one of our players on the ground and the post got 100 likes, surely this won’t go straight to the top lmao
The whataboutism is strong with this one
theyre both dirty
That’s great
This post is about Dort though
Look, a Thunder Flopper.
“SLAMMED” lmao! Thunder fans are something else…
Giannis don’t want that smoke. Lug mf’n Dort bitches
Thunder Floppers. Dort injures players while SGA flops and makes the dumbest faces and falls down. Pathetic.
lol, you softer than Charmin, keep crying homegirl.
Go do that at your local park. Go hit someone on the head from behind. See what happens. You are all a bunch of cowards. All you do is flop, foul bait, chop, kick, go over backcourt, no whistle and complain.
point to the spot where the bad man hurt you. I hit mf’s on the head from behind all the time. what?
Point to the spot where SGA flops. Oh it’s every spot on the floor. Thunder Flopper fans are the dumbest fans in the history of all sports.
Damn SGA fuck your girl or something? you seem really upset.
Was this before or after Giannis yanked down our G-league rookie Brooks Barnhizer for no reason after locking his arm around him. Someone here posted the clip.
Giannis was dirty this game too. Yes this is a dirty play by Dort but there’s context in this one.
Edit: https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/s/YNXjnFPuCB
Here. Just because the title says tangled up doesn’t mean Giannis wasn’t playing dirty here. So many of you are so easily swayed.
You’re right but I think another important context here is that this is Lu Dort.
Glad you at least being honest about it. Hating on dort is fine for you and most of the trolls online, but god no, saying something bad about the OKC opponent, we cannot let that happen..
Shhh we’re hating on Dort in this thread we don’t wanna hear it
Edit: omfg I took the bait, Dort did this with 8:19 left in the FIRST quarter when the score was 12-5 OKC leading, so what is the context? The Giannis rookie pull happened with 3 seconds left in the 3rd.
So what Giannis did was dirty but he was clearly frustrated and by your prior comment, since there is context (this clip, earlier in the game) then that justifies it?
Thanks for the good response, this context definitely hurts Dort’s image then. Seems like he’s just quite the immature player emotionally sometimes. Feel like he’s our Draymond where we support him because he’s on our team but we also notice he has a bunch of issues.
Im pretty sure that play and smacking someone in the head without attempting to go after the ball are two different levels man
Giannis is a beast compared to Barnhizer but I agree that Dort’s play was still dirtier.
I was just trying to point out that this game had a lot of friction from some players throughout it so while Dort’s play was dirty it also was aggravated, even though I agree he shouldn’t have done it. He didn’t just do it to do it.
Go back to the Flopping Thunder sub. Cheating, Dirty flops.
I respect your game bro it’s like a hater Ai
