[Highlight] Another one. Desmond Bane shoves Immanuel Quickley to the ground right before he goes up for a layup
Dude has anger issues
Him throwing his hands up after he does some absolutely obvious BS is honestly the most frustrating part. He did something similar after the fastball to OG.
Why are people mad at these cheap shots I’m throwing?? Don’t they know I can’t control myself?
Draymond is that you?
Yup. Draymond is always surprised like he never does anything
Draymond of the Eastern Conference.
Idk … BANE BEEN CRASHING OUT HARD THIS SEASON🤣🤣🤣
This dude is becoming Draymond just in time when Draymond retires!
He has to throw his wee little arms way up in the air to make sure people see those lil trex pinchers
“Bro, ARE WE GOOD?!”
Tee him up! Tee him up!
“I’m falling out of bounds so I threw the ball out to save it…”
“You weren’t falling Bane”
His hands look hilarious so i don’t mind him throwing them up, but all the other actions are bullshit.
ok but that one is hilarious, he tries to gaslight everybody saying he was “falling out of bounds” when he literally planted both feet and threw a fastball right at OG lmao
He got that Aaron Hernandez brain damage
Stems from his trex arms
Napoleon complex but just in his arms
I just learned today that Napoleon wasn’t even that short. He was like 5’7”.
It was British propaganda
with boots on maybe, whats his standing reach? i need the combine numbers, i bet he was hanging his shoulders to get a higher vert
I don’t remember him hulking out like this earlier in his career. He must really hate living in Orlando. I get that.
short arm syndrome
As someone that’s 6’3 with a 5’11 wingspan, I get it.
I think he’s admitted he does it to bait the opposing team into getting a technical. Lame shit, but he has a method to his stupidity.
Agbaji actually did get a tech for pushing him afterwards lol
Admitting to intentionally hurting other players should result in a ban from the league.
That’s a bit dramatic.
Bait other team into getting a technical by getting a technical? Ok lol
Agreed and I don’t say it lightly.
I think that’s one of the most overused descriptors for someone who just so happens to get triggered on camera.
But Bane is pretty ridiculous. Grown man with zero emotional regulation at the smallest percieved slight or difficulty. Truly never seemed to have learned how to control himself, or that doing so is necessary.
Needs a sports psychologist at least.
Dude wants to play football.
Memphis Grizz behaviour lol
Was he always this much of a douche? Maybe he just didn’t stick out as much on a team with Brooks and Ja?
I swear he wasn’t this bad in Memphis or was everyone and the media just too distracted by Ja and Brooks that we never paid attention to Bane’s antics?
He used to talk more shit on the court than Brooks and Ja but he didn’t do anything physical.
Never broke anyone’s arm or anthying.
Nah his shooting is down this year significantly too. Somethings broken.
Orlando is falling apart at the seams.
don’t know why Bane is crashing out, but y’all would be so good w/ a true facilitator point guard.
There’s tension in Orlando. Paolo isn’t playing like that dude, the coach isn’t very good, and Tyus Jones has been more useless than a life vest on the Titan submarine.
Wow, I didn’t even realize that Tyus Jones was on the team. But the right scheme/coach should be able to make him effective unless he’s just washed.
Frank Vogel seems like an ideal coach? Those teams he had in Indiana were not too different from this Magic team.
Tyus is washed
well fuck
Is Franz back? They should ditch Banchero and build around him
You guys should trade fot Collier
I’m sorry saying this after they spent 4 frp on him is hysterical.
4 frp was fucking insane. Memphis fleeced Orlando.
His average was been dropping every year.
Never saw him do anything like this in Memphis
He was talking more trash in Memphis but nah I don’t recall him having pushing incidents like this specifically
Visit Orlando (not Disney World) you’ll understand
He literally broke Kevin Huerter’s shoulder on porpouse
What did the dolphin do to piss him off?
Drove to the basket, but something held him up on the way there.
Filling in for the Cole Anthony role.
There’s just no need for this shit. You already wrapped him up and knocked the ball away, okay good, no easy buckets. Why do you then have to spin him around and throw him to the floor?
The second part. JJJ was the chill one
This is honestly just Magic culture at this point. A ton of dirty plays
To think there was a time when Bane, Brooks, and Morant were on the same team and were a generally well liked team.
I can honestly say that I never liked them lol.
Me neither. They always came off as arrogant especially when they have achieved nothing
I’m fine in the West
When Ja said that, he was coming off an NBA 2nd team, the Grizzlies were 17-8, he was averaging 27/6/8.
Since, he has averaged 22/4/7.
Relevant flair, I’m sure all Warriors fans didn’t like the Grizz during those early 20s.
I thought the narrative was neat though, they were supposed to be the changing of the old guard; young, scrappy and lead by an athletic fearless point guard. Kinda like a less talented Rose Bulls.
Amen.
Everyone always hated Brooks but the other 2 delayed their heel turns a bit.
Nah I kinda liked Brooks when he called out Andre Igoudala
Check out r/suns and r/rockets. Brooks is rad when he’s on your team.
don’t forget Grayson Allen😤
I always hated Brooks
while the team’s owner was secretly making billions off war crimes
Ehh average NBA owner
I thought Bane was the most well-behaved one from that Grizzlies era. Idk what happened to him, seems changed so much now.
what is wrong with that man
Desmond Bane grew up ~5 miles away from the Ohio border.
No child should grow up so close to Ohio. It fucked Desmond up during his most formative years. He just wasn’t nearly as mentally tough as LeBron, but nobody can do what LeBron did. That’s why LeBron is LeBron.
#NoChildLeftNearOhio #NoChildLeftInOhio #AbolishOhio
There’s a reason so many astronauts come from Ohio…
They’re trying to get as far away from Ohio as humanly possible
Space looks better than Ohio
Imagine there’s no Ohio.
It’s easy if you try.
But JD Vance keeps showing up on my feed…
And on your couch of you’re not careful
I burned my couches last year just in case of an invasion.
The land god left behind
The Ohio border: the electrical substation of state-level jurisdiction crossover points.
Sauce: am one of them
Everyone please contact your representative to try and address this issue
Just like Harry Potter
perhaps he wondering why you would shoot a man before throwing him out of a plane
The most annoying part is acting like he didn’t do anything afterwards lol
And then of course the Raptors get the technical for a mild response to the cheap shot.
Hockey isn’t my favourite sport, basketball is, but if that was the NHL, Bane was getting dropped and they would both get 5 and everything would be square.
Too much friction in basketball, unlike hockey with blades sliding on ice weakening punches
A lot of dual purpose areans have ice underneath the floors, maybe they could lift up a couple of panels at mid court and have a quick fight?
That only encourages the next team to knock him outout. There will be a next team.
People have been saying the same thing about Draymond for a decade lol
Except Bane is 6’4 with Trex arms while Draymond is an actual enforcer.
It encourages sportsmanship. If the consequences of your actions arrive immediately, it will change the course of your actions. I guarantee he would not have thrown him if he had to knuckle up right after.
I mean when you watch the replay it definitely looked worse than it actually was
Idk if the offensive player is allowed to elbow you like that and not get an offensive foul Id be playing physical like this too. Make em think twice before pulling a move like that
this is so far from a basketball play. wtf is he doing
It’s called a hip throw… very common in judo.
I don’t see how this was only a flagrant 1. Very surprised he didn’t get ejected.
Natural throwing motion
Perfected the Draymond art of natural flagrant motion
And again, no context no buildup he just tossed him. IQ isn’t even the one he’s beefing with this game it’s RJ.
Love RJ❤️
And fuck Mr. dinosaur arms
You don’t see the elbow? Doesn’t mean you get to do what he did but there’s clearly a reason why.
He elbowed him; watch the whole clip
I’ve now seen him beef with IQ and Maxey. Two guys who seem super fucking chill as far as competitive basketball players go. Dude is cracked.
Same with OG a few months ago
Actually needs to get suspended. Silver can’t let him do this 3 times in one season.
dude has to be the softest commissioner on players there ever was.
Went from Stern trying to clean up the league’s image after the Malice (and fucking over the Pacers) to Adam Silver hardly giving a shit player behavior.
Player behavior? He hardly gives a shit about anyone’s behavior. Ballmer is paying Kawhi under the table? That’s fine. Memphis owner is a war criminal? No worries.
Edit: Remember when Draymond was suspended… until he threatened to retire… then poof, just like that, reinstated?
These are also great points, but keep in mind that Silver’s primary job is to carry out the will of the owners - most of whom use their NBA teams as financial instruments & care about equity more than winning.
Punishing players is relatively abstract & thus should be easy for Silver to do. Fight it out with the player’s association.
Punishing owners gets into weird territory. NBA owners most likely don’t want to set a precedent of punishing each other unless the behavior causes irreparable PR harm to the broader league. They’re always going to try to quash media firestorms to see if they fizzle out before directing Silver to sanction one of their own.
This comment soft af. Ball is better when everyone isn’t buddies.
He was born in the dark.
Can’t climb out with those arms.
Quickley tried to bump him off with an elbow, looks like bane got mad about it.
Am I crazy or not only does Bane not toss him, but Quickley lost his balance, and Bane knocked the ball out? I may even be so bold to say this is a non-call.
Thought I was crazy reading these comments. Bro elbowed, tripped. It looked more like a get off me gesture.
Bane already has his left arm across IQs back getting ready to grab before the hit. Definitely not a no call
I had to scroll this far to see this. I like your take. I watched basketball from ‘89 and up and this play is not uncommon in 90’s basketball. Bane knocked the ball out, then I think he fouled him.
I’d much rather see this foul rather than Doncic complaining
I may even be so bold to say this is a non-call
You don’t have optometrists in Chicago?
That’s what I saw. That elbow right under the sternum. It’s not even the normal forearm push.
Yeah he didn’t even push off lol
Yep. Quickley elbowed him in the sternum and acted like he was tossed by Mark Henry with that slight nudge after he was falling as retaliation.
This is way too far down. Looks like they were both going at each other a little bit.
Thank you!
Little arm syndrome
This one is an overreaction by Bane but I do get it when a fast break guy initiates contact and tries to bait a foul. Bring on the downvotes
I really don’t see this as that egregious. Very common to wrap up a guy on a fast break, actually makes a play on the ball and pokes it out. He extends his arms when quickly goes down but people are acting like he pile drives him or something lol
I agree this is not on the same tier as Bane launching the ball at players heads. It’s just a little extra follow through. Not as crazy as people are making it out to be.
Idk that’s not much
Yeah people here get drawn into narratives so easily they can’t differentiate between serious shit and mild shit.
Or they just saw that far away view, and not the slow motion which made it pretty obvious bane didn’t do much
Nobody going to point out that Quickley’s elbow made strong contact with Bane’s gut/side? I bet that didn’t feel great.
I was gonna say. Wasn’t even a foul until he “tossed” him and even the toss was weak.
Yeah what are people getting so worked up about here? Flagrant for sure, but that’s it. Move on.
It looks like Quickley initiated contact with that elbow yeah
People are soft as hell these days. I don’t even see this as a flagrant.
You can take a player out of the Grizzlies but you can’t take the Grizzlies out of a player
Don’t make us point a laser at you
Ja gonna be shooting these fools
What is bane on this year? He’s being doing some crazy shit. He wasn’t this bad on the grizz
That dungeon training facility probably cqlmed him down before games. Now that he’s in Orlando, nothing is there to bottle up all that rage.
Muscle hamster stays mad
It’s dr marmalade from the bad guys
He stripped the ball and committed a foul. Can’t believe all the comments saying he’s a menace
You guys are so fucking soft.
Because most people on Reddit started watching basketball within the last 10 years
Did y’all even watch the video? Pretty clear quickley leans in and sort of just gets the chair pulled on him.
Sorry the hive mind has left the station
It looks worse than it actually is
He not really “throwing” them down rather he’s not really holding them up like any sane person would do.
I swear this is no way near as bad as y’all are saying. Quickly was falling down and I swear all bane did was not hold him up.
Looks like he just went to hit the ball and Quickley flopped
Hold up nobody noticed quickley leading with the elbow and hitting him in the ribs? Mighta just been a knee jerk reaction albeit a bad one.
Quickley elbow is why it played like that 😂😂🙏🏾
I love the fake tough nba it’s hilarious
Both players are assholes here, Quickley with that elbow to the ribs against Bane, and Bane just went fuck you to Quickley
Not shown: The technical foul shot he hit immediately afterwards bc someone threw an elbow at him over the flagrant and then the 2 missed shots by the player he threw down. Sometimes a good hard foul is a winning play, even if it’s flagrant.
Quicklwy did throw his forearm into Banes abdomen before he threw him down but that’s definitely an overreaction
Desmond Bane is such a fake demon but it’s so funny
Ochai got a tech lmao
Just imagine the damage he could cause if he had full length arms.
yo it’s about time we start talking about his roid rage
There have been a lot of hard foul incidents in this season so far.
In a few years, someone would put together all of these crazy points and then use it to push the claim of how physical the basketball was in the 2020s /s
All ball.
yall are so fucking soft
I didn’t know Banes first name was Bitch
Magic culture
Mann what is wrong with this guy
Raptors vs T-Rex… who wins?
An old head just creamed his pants, 90’s basketball is back baby
Grayson Allen says ‘holy shit that is a foul!”
Look like a rat, play like a rat
T. rex arms got big mad
bane is a bitch ass motherfucker
Wake up babe new Draymond just dropped
You can take the man out of Memphis, but you can’t take Memphis out of the man
That’s all ball ref
Why is TRex so mad?
Desmond Bane wants to be the next Draymond Green
That escalated quickley.
7-10 on 3’s tho
Hot take:
We need more of this shit. These mfers make millions of dollars. Let’s get physical! 😬
I saw no Magic player in any rush to get in there, pretty telling.
We miss you in Memphis dawg
Bane sucks
Pretty hard chicken wing from Quickley, but way over the top overreaction.
Someone needs to tell Bane what his trade value would be on the open market today, because his haul got into his head.
Unnecessary - but I’m convinced that if he weren’t built like he’s perpetually squared up for a tussle, this kind of stuff would look more subdued.
Shit like that causes fights 100% of the time
What is it with players named DsomethingMond
Turns out it wasn’t Ja this whole time. We need to see the video on who punched that teenager
Has he always been like this or just developed some bitch attitude this season?
Bane is playing like he has a personal vendetta tonight lol
I’m glad guys aren’t rumbling like they were back in the day but every so often there’s a situation like this where the game needs a little self-policing. Dude is just taking his frustrations out on other players and someone is going to get hurt.
Used to like Desmond bane and despise Dillon brooks, how the turntables
Haha the mascot with the pose on the right
Dudes lucky he’s doing this shit knowing no one’s fighting back cause of fines/suspensions. Doing this in the 90s would’ve gotten your ass kicked.
