I know Dwhite picked up a sponsor from a local guy due to getting stepped on

Surprisingly all the dental assistants left at the same time as Udoka.. Strange that

All professional sports teams have a dentist on staff. I’ve been trying to get that spot for my local NBA team for a while, but it’s obviously highly coveted.

I imagine most of these Pro teams do. The dentist for the Jet’s works in my network and sends my lab cases.

I think they do, because during broadcast Scal was talking about him being in Dubai now, where he wanted to take Scal for a basketball camp.

Correct, pretty sure the clippers new arena has a dental office on site.

I don’t think it was a “I’m gonna smash this mfer’s teeth in” move, but it was definitely a “I’m gonna swing my elbow at this mfer’s face” move.

For those who haven’t seen the play.

Could have easily been a flagrant 2 given the severity of the contact to the head, the wind-up, the potential for injury, and the actual injury.

Flagrant Foul criteria:

• Unnecessary contact - Flagrant 1
• Unnecessary and excessive contact - Flagrant 2

1. The severity of the contact;
2. Whether or not the player was making a legitimate basketball play (e.g., whether a player is making a legitimate effort to block a shot; note, however, that a foul committed during a block attempt can still be considered flagrant if other criteria are present, such as recklessness and hard contact to the head);
3. Whether, on a foul committed with a player’s arm or hand, the fouling player wound up and/or followed through after making contact;
4. The potential for injury resulting from contact (e.g., a blow to the head and a foul committed while a player is in a vulnerable position);
5. The severity of any injury suffered by the offended player; and
6. The outcome of the contact (e.g., whether it led to an altercation).

Yeah it’s not great. Maybe breaking his face wasn’t the plan but elbowing him in the face sure was.

he stepped on dysons foot and apparently didnt adjust his planned move for the fact that his leverage was going to come from onyekas face rather than the floor

I think he steps on Dyson’s foot and loses his balance

Looks like a completely normal basketball play. I honestly don’t see the issue.

Because it was.

Don’t you hate when people use words to explain what happened?

JB is by no means a dirty player but he can get pretty…liberal with the elbow. He only uses it to create space and always gets called for it, though. This dude’s not out to hurt anybody.

I don’t think of him as a dirty player but that play was pretty dirty. Definitely looks like it had some intention behind it but I doubt he wanted it to be what it actually turned into. Good lesson on how lashing out can go further than you meant it to. Probably just trying to get space with the elbow and things got away from him

Hawks fans deeply despise us

I mean I fucking hate the Celtics but that’s very clearly not intentional.

Last player?? Bruh 2 years ago he almost ripped Duncan Robinson’s shoulder out of place for no reason

Last player you’d expect to be play dirty is a good prompt

Maybe Bronny? Haliburton?

Theyve never played any ball before

Honestly hilarious how you added you hate the Celtics like it was supposed to validate ur statement lmfao we don’t care man

Yea noway that was intentional.

I feel like I remember Brown making some dirty plays before. Idk but he’s for sure not the last player I’d expect to make a dirty play lol he’s not THAT chill

Okongwu was injured in an elbow-involved facial deconstructive incident. Brown, whose elbow was nearby the incident, has been placed on paid administrative leave. Republicans are hailing him as a hero and generating an AI smear campaign against Okongwu’s face. Democrats are calling to increase Brown’s budget so he can receive additional training. 

He was trying to protect the ball with a guy literally glued to his body. Shit happens.

He did, on the court when Okongwu came out to take the freethrows.  Maybe your broadcast didn’t show it.

Edit: Do you guys think I’m lying or something? It was literally on the Celtics broadcast. I’m so confused.

For reference.  When Okongwu comes to take the freethrows JB walks up to him, apologizes and taps him on the back.  OO nodded, tapped him back and then shot his freethrows.  

“People still die in car accidents how much would a seat belt help” type ass question

I am no expert, but I searched a little about mouth guards that they usually wear in NBA and it said that mouth guards are meant to minimize the injury, more specifically to prevent an athlete from losing their teeth. So I guess that in this exact scenario, but with a mouth guard, the teeth would still get knocked back a little and the gums would bleed too, but it definitely wouldn’t look as bad as it does in Onyeka’s case.

Looks fine in the pic, weird comment

It’s time

JB is full of shit in this for sure. He’s 4” shorter than Okongwu + leaning away from JB and he still elbowed the mfer in the mouth.

You’re tripping….he is knocked off balance by Daniels from behind so he is leaning forward and off balance while doing that. Just look at his feet, once Dyson nudges him off balance, his back foot is off the ground and he leaning forward.

Zero doubt he was trying to swim move to split the defenders and lost control of his momentum due to the push.

“Threw his body into him” as hes standing perfectly still, leaning away from him actually.

NBA players 1000% have medical insurance

Get him a Mars bar or something then

I’ve literally never heard of that happpening in any sport but go off king

Dunno why the downvotes. I’d say #1 most unlikable player

Why would Brown say sorry to a reporter? How do you know he didnt already apologize directly?

This is a weird comment.

He did.

Just because you didn’t see it, doesn’t mean it didn’t happen.

He went up to Okongwu during the game.
