[Highlight] Charania flinches at the rebound, and then can’t get away from Suns owner Mat Ishbia to receive the inbound pass
Gossip girl can’t hoop š
To be fair, Ishbia was a national champion point guard at Michigan St. He’s more than an old head at the Y.
This is the difference between high school Varsity and D1.
He was not on high school varsity lmao. I played basketball at his high school and he was a year below me, dude didnāt even play freshman or middle school ball Edit: to be clear I meant charania Edit2: Iāve been informed he was cut from the middle school team and wore a suit and sat on the bench with coach šš
Damn all those pregame videos of Shams draining buckets thought he had some game. Guess not.
Edit: https://youtube.com/shorts/JVGIrwRg6Ao?si=Nm_DInf9GPy428Pm
This should be a lesson on how easy it is to lead people to a conclusion
3 makes and the first 1 is off by so much he banks it in… Yeah you guys are cooked to think he was “draining buckets”
Banking in a 3 too lmao anyone who hoops knows that aint it
He also very clearly only worked on spot up shooting. Put any bit of pressure on him and force him to dribble and he aint doing nothing
Yeahhhh he played 115 minutes over 48 games as a walk on
I used to hoop with someone who was a walk-on at a D1 school in Indiana. He was not a super tall guy which is probably what held him back, but he was literally the best player on the court at all times. He just had complete control of the ball and as soon as he crossed the halfcourt line, he could pull up on you and drain a 3 in your face. Anyone who can sniff a D1 team is in the top top percent of players in the country.
Which is more minutes than most of us + a national championship.
Letās not lmao
I like how you’re trying to downplay this as if walking on to a top program isn’t impressive
Yea they framed it like they gave him a roster spot because of connections and he never had to compete. Like a senator’s son having a fake spot on the rowing team or something.
At one of the Top 5 CBB programs in the country. Soā¦
ā¦at Michigan state.
And what like, 5,000 other collegiate point guards played zero minutes for a championship team lol
If only the All-Star game would play like him
Go piss girl
O shit girl
Yeah he went to my high school and was a small quiet kid who didnāt play basketball at all (even in middle school) so this doesnāt surprise me at all haha. Impressive he has gotten where he is but yeah not a hooper for sure
[deleted]
I think heās talking about Shams
So funny how much people have grown to absolutely hate him
Shams may have won the battle, but Woj won the war.
He makes it really easy
Ayo šš
XOXO
Yo cmon now šš
fr the guy didnāt know what to do besides sit in one spot just to brick everyone of em š
Probably worried about his hair
Heās stressed he might be missing a story!
Damn that’s savage
Loser in every extent
This might be the longest heās been without a cell on him in years.
Dudeās probably tweaking out
I know bro got 700 texts telling him he canāt hoopĀ
[BREAKING] Shams a fraud
Sick to his stomach he didn’t break the LaVine injury news
Probably missed 10 breaking rumors while playing, smh
Thereās a clip of him on his phone right after the game ended ššš
Pretty sure I saw him on his phone on the court right after the game
Sources close to the NBA All-Star Game advise Shams tweaked and/or may have overreacted to the defence and may be pursuing alternate methods of receiving an inbounds pass or bounce pass
Imagine getting clamped by a team ownerā¦ he about to drop some mad suns leaks
Heās in his 40s and played at Michigan State lol heās clamping 99% of this sub
Former collegiate athlete billionaire might have a tiny advantage
We sure this dude isnāt Bruce Wayne
He won an NCAA title too TIL
Ishbia played at msu so heās probably a top 1% hooper at one point. Guyās just old now, but still got it vs casuals. Would prob tear up most ymca runs lowkey
He’s five years older than LeBron not geriatric old.
Ishibia played college ball didnāt he?
At MSU, he was a walk-on the year the won the Title.
Just wait till brons an owner
Never played a sport his entire life šš
This is how I imagine 90% of this sub would look like
I guarantee you it’s closer to 95-99% based on how people talk about basketball and sports on here lmao
Most of us hoopers on this page pretty much shakes our head at comments and move on.
legit lol, people say the damndest things but itās a waste of time engaging with it.
Highest level I played was some fairly competitive AAU which is nothing compared to pros but still feel like I got 95% of this sub beat by a significant margin lol
95%? Try at least 99.5% and I’m not being funny. Maybe 1⁄200 would be better than you.
Sometimes I feel like I’m taking crazy pills
I have faith that over 1% of us would at least not dodge the ball
Oh yeah I fuckin SUCK at basketball dude
Yeah. Half these people don’t know basic rules or customs in basketball. Also, the vitrial I see on this sub against the unwritten rules is crazy. Any person who’s played organized ball understands this stuff.
I’m in the 9% that would play even worse!
MrBuckBuck would be ass lmao
My role on the rec league team was āpestā
I think Iām in the upper half by just playing consistently in menās league for the last 5 years
Iām 34 and Iāll speak for Canadians, if you played after high school youāve played more than most if not all reporters and likely 95%(generous side) of commenters
He went to my high school and was a year below me and I knew a lot of people who went to middle school with him, he didnāt even play in middle school and definitely not high school so can confirm has never played organized basketball haha
You donāt even need to have played organized ball to know how to grab a board lol. You can tell heās not even playing pickup.
howād he even be able to run 3s at the park lol heās gotta be glued to his phone 25⁄8
Shams is getting the Baby Bieber treatment without the talent
Bieber crossed someone tho
Yeah I was about to say, my memory is a bit hazy now but I donāt recall Beiber embarrassing himself. I think his shot form was a lil funky, but it worked.
If anything, I remember people being annoyed that he looked OK out there lol
I donāt know how I know this but Biebs is actually better at hockey than basketball.
Is it because he’s Canadian? Hockey and maple syrup frow through their veins
Hes from Canada, and as someone from US Canada, thats the standard
US Canada?
Alaska. š¤·š»āāļø
Iām not sure weāve had a celebrity as universally hated as baby biebs. Maybe Iām just older now lolĀ
He’s actually very talented across the board
Bieber was lights out in 2k12 or 13 canāt remember. Used to drop 30 points with him lol
2k13 celeb team, I still play it with my bro lol goated team
Woj clears
Woj boxes out
These guys don’t watch gamesĀ
Ishbia out here market correcting Mark Cuban as the playing owner with his past college experienceĀ
He dotted Tacko Fall. Street cred for life after that shot.
are people saying dotted for spraying someone or pulling up on them now? I’ve only heard it for dimes
Why anyone would offer themselves up to this level of public humiliation is beyond me
Nobdy normal cares that much. Itās just a fun little thing
Nobody normal is watching this
Kids definitely like it. It’s fun, doesn’t have to be that serious
It’s better than regular allstar, because at least they’re trying
Itās not that serious bro
I like it when someone is randomly super good.
Almost every person who signs up for this thinks they can hoop, and they all find out quickly that theyāre wrong as soon as a ringer shows up
Most of them would know better if they would hoop in open runs with these D1/ D-League players.
ur just weird
Imagine if it was a contract stipulation from ESPN lmao
bruh, don’t let dumb thoughts like that make you scared to do things in life
Eh… literally the only reason I would wanna be a celebrity. Judging by who played… I’m closer than I thought. Who the fuck is Rome Flynn???
its not that deep. No one besides people who are perennially online actually hates Shams
I doubt Shams knew that heād be on Giannisā team and would be blackballed by his own coach because his coach is a baby š
Trade him Giannis!
Something something Kalshi !
What are the Kalshi odds?
Start a kalshi market he might
Hahahahah so fucking funny.
Heās gonna get clowned for this game forever
Kenny Smith survived getting crossed by N Sync Timberlake. Shams will survive lmao
Timberlake is an athlete. Golf, basketball guy can play. A true Memphian.
Damn, If he added swimming to his arsenal he could be a Memphibian
Kenny may have survived but his knees haven’t.
This is actually hilarious
lol Ishbia pointing at that dudes foot
It was a clear violation. I just don’t think the ref cares in a celebrity game. Would have been fun to get a violation and then see matt ishbia celebrating.
They also took nearly 10 seconds to inbound the ball so there were two violations
Trade his ass, Giannis.
He flinched because he didnāt expect the airball and was waiting for it to hit something.
Yeah anyone who plays ball would understand why he flinched
90% of people in this sub don’t. People here don’t even understand ay unwritten rules.
Worse than an air ball I think. It grazed the left side of the rim so it came down right at his face. He actually did well to get out of the way. Anyone who has played with bad shooters has experienced this enough. You don’t see it in the NBA much because they aren’t shooting a lot of shots that just graze the rim.
In this video he was in good rebounding position. Got shut off and then got open took the ball dribbled and made a pass up the court. I didn’t see any other part of this game and maybe he was terrible, but this clip didn’t tell that story.
Dont know what to do with his hands without a cell phone
Nah shams set himself up š Woj would be killing if he played
Guy is 5’6 and can’t hoop… not sure why I expected otherwise lol
Shams is only 5ā6ā?? Yikes. Takes him from a 8.5 to a 7.
Woj should post these 3 seconds before they happen irl
Man the hate boner some of yall get for this man is wild lol.
Why you look at boner?
You want team to play certain way you better eat example Mr Ishbia
The odds of Ishbia full court pressing were like -1000
Bro is embarrassing at ball lmaooo
You can tell he feel his phone ringing in his pocket, look how uncomfortable he looks without screen time.
Sources say āshams canāt hoopā
Letās go Matt! Making us look good lol
Matt āDillon Brooksā Ishbia
Giannis letting him play is surprising. Then you see how he plays and you realize it’s more embarrassing for him to be put out there.
Should have been a turnover. Refs trash
My sources inside the refs office are telling me you’re not allowed to do that.
Iām ngl thatās a tough rebound to get that had heat
Channeling Al Horford there
OT from this angle, seeing regular sized human beings in the court is mind blowing. they look like oompah loompas out there.
To be fair, that was a bad brick from whomever shot that
Why would you agree to playing in this event if you hoop like a baby deer?
Hand down man down
Momma there goes than man
Dude played college ball and they are a bunch of media nerds
Of course heās cooking them
So Shams is a celebrity now? Wth? š¤® He’s a mouthpiece.
woj would never
bruh stick behind the keyboard of your phone typing nba rumors. your embarrassing yourself and the world. šš¤¦āāļøšš«
Kay knew.
Dweeb
This is some sicko shit
Itās too bad the trade deadline is come and gone. Imagine he canāt break a trade because heās getting locked down by the Suns owner š
Woj wouldnāt have flinched.
Fuck shams
For a sec i thought this was a custom match on a video game
Weak sauce!
Heart pump Kool Aid
For some reason none of this clicked for me and I thought this was a legit NBA player in a legit game and was absolutely shocked how far the NBA had fallen in skill and officiating
Wow even in pickup the refs suck.
Brooks even has the owner playing hard defense.
I can tell Ishibia ADORES Gillespie lol He definitely sees his younger self in Gillespie.
Wait…this is actually shams and mat ishbia?
Giannis definitely told everyone to not to pass to Shams. Thereās been like 4 straight possessions where Shams was wide open and called for the ball and they just ignored him and passed it to someone less open. Only time that made sense was when Lin passed it to Tacko in the paint.
Giannis is such a baby š got his feelings hurt
Maybe Giannis didn’t even need to say anything to the team, the message was already on the wall
BREAKING: All-time tweeter Shams Charania canāt hoop. Source: His teammates
š nah bro they were gonna run the whole offense thru shams until giannis put in the hit
yeah Iām sure that cafu, a 55 year old Brazilian soccer legend has a huge grudge against some NBA journalist š
Or Giannis, whoās known to be a babyā¦ is being a baby. š¤·āāļø
Kinda funny to hear someone explaining CafĆŗ to me, an experience I thought I’d never have
But specially CafĆŗ, that matches a lot his personality, he is very connected to the media and is an icon in a sport that deals with similar rumours. I think you got the worst example, he 100% would side with Giannis
I really couldāve chose any example, no matter how bad. Giannis being a baby is a million times more probably than any of the other players giving a shit about someone as unimportant to their lives as an NBAjournalistĀ
CafĆŗ is my second favorite athlete of all time, so it feels really funny to see someone explaining him to me.
Glad I gave you a laugh lolĀ
Whoās first? Kobe?Ā
no, none basket related, I’m from Brazil, so it’s another soccer player, RogĆ©rio Ceni, a goalkeeper
Iām from Brazil
lol I see why itās extra amusing for me to use CafĆŗ as an example š
Heās also absolutely fucking horrible
Bruh are you even watching? Or just saying that because Giannis said that?
Half these celebrities are actually āabsolutely fucking horribleā. Heās had the ball for literally 1 possession only, so how can he be horrible? At worst hes a net neutral because no oneās passing to himš
Damn shams got his burners on while playing the game? Impressive
[removed]
You should look in a mirror, Bucks fans genuinely obsess over him. Half your team sub is about him that youād think Shams is the reason youāre a garbage ass 12 seed š
EDIT: LMAO this bucks fan u/ScaredOfWindow blocked me š thatās so soft hahaha
Shams should stop calling for the ball and just become a hustle guy. That would at least command the respect of his teammates.
There’s also a lot of pros on the court. He really shouldn’t be shooting.
Even Matt Ishbia for example played in D1 college.
Oh thats why Matt looks decent, I was wondering why he could hoop and hustle
Not even just āD1 collegeā, Michigan state which is a legit basketball school, not like he rode the bench at Hofstra
Funnily enough as you say this, he got the inbound and took it up the court and immediately looked to pass to Tacko in the paint, two possessions in a row
Why is gannis mad?
Charania said a lot of things Giannis called BS about trade rumours about him this season.
I mean I feel like they were both leading the league in trade rumors considering Giannis is a kalshi investor
You were expecting a lot of swing action and ball movement in this game?
Why post this?
Because itās funny as hell
Better than another post about the Jazz
Lmao shams literally posting in this thread from the sidelines
