[Highlight] Jared McCain gets his first postgame interview with the Thunder after scoring a team-high 21 points and ends with a bark while staring into the camera
Bro was staring directly into Daryl Morey’s soul right there
He def fits the Thunder’s team energy/vibe
Oh he fits their vibe for sure.
Jdub & SGA: “ we saw you from across the bar and we really like your vibe”
OKC is that friend group that your mother beg you to hang around.
Daryl Morey is a liar, and I will never be a part of an organization that he’s part of
James Harden
Jared McCain
— Michael Scott
Let me say that again
I fucking hate our ownership
it’s like they were trying to kill all the good vibes that have been building over this season
the Bryan Colangelo special™️
Find a new slant
He shouldn’t have any hatred there. Philly was a terrible spot for him. As an undersized two-guard who can’t pass or defend he got exposed next to Maxey & VJ - and it would have been even worse in the playoffs.
On OKC he’ll be surrounded by great defenders any time he steps on the court and can just focus on the few things he does well.
Holy shit a rational take on Reddit 😱
He’s in his second year and you need bench players. No need to rush to trade him for nothing that helps you right now.
Right? The biggest issue with sixers fans is that we traded him for nothing and made the team worse. Of course a player looks better on the thunder and is a better fit there.
Like I know he was going to be traded at some point due to already having VJ and Maxey, but wish it was during the offseason. Would have like to see what a postseason run with these three together would have been like.
He came back from injury and inly in his second year. It was pretty premature.
It must suck to be traded, no matter what the circumstances, so I’m always glad to see a guy get off to a good start with his new team.
If you’re gonna get traded anywhere, OKC is probably the best place to go. Has the best the best locker room in the league especially for young players.
feels like you’re both right.
Unless you’re Gordon Hayward… wtf happened there
Gordon Hayward was supposed to bring good vet leadership and some off the bench scoring while getting back to his old form. But he did the opposite on both, looked really slow, couldn’t get a bucket if his life depended on it, then touted when he got benched and blamed the organisation for not playing him any more. Good riddance, we don’t miss him.
Guy said “Disappointed with how it all worked out. Certainly frustrating. As a player, I have a lot to offer. I just wasn’t given much of an opportunity to do that.” And then retired lmaaooo
Went on to invent a square basketball
I thought Daddy’s always happy?
Hayward was on an expiring contract. We traded a bunch of bench players on guaranteed contracts for him to make room for Hartenstein in the offseason. It would have been nice if Hayward’s stay would have been better. But oh well.
Last years finals was best locker room of the east vs best of the west
Winning teams tend to be happy.
This years Pacers still seem to be content/united despite their record.
I’m crying a little right now
Ok im not following the 76ers, but why did they trade him? He is young and can obviously hoop
6ers owner, known tightwad/fucking asshole Josh Harris, traded McCain to dodge the luxury tax. He also kept correspondence with J Epstein for like a decade
Also Morey shidded on em in the media after. For literally zero reason.
Morey is such a fucking know it all prick. I’m glad he never won shit on the Rockets and public opinion has turned on him.
Dude is a Harden merchant straight up. If it wasn’t for him covering up the cracks in the team Morey wouldn’t be this overrated.
Are we now pretending morey didn’t build the team that almost beat the warriors if not for an insanely historic run of shooting luck? The guy is a prick, but he built some great teams.
He’s such a dork who thought he found a way to Billy Beane the NBA and his legacy is his “all 3s all the time” failure when the rockets missed like 30 straight in a game 7 lmfao
Meanwhile the Celtics owner also has never paid a cent in the luxury tax and they’re in second place in the east with an all nba player soon to return.
Thank god we trusted the process.
Ok I’m not trying to defend anyone cuz I don’t care at all about Josh Harris. But is it possible some of these people who were in contact with Epstein doing so for actual work? Epstein was first incredibly popular due to his profession and was also very successful in the biggest finance city in the world.
Or was Harris confirmed in the Epstein files saying weird shit and my point is ruined? Genuinely curious.
But wasn’t he cost controlled ?
Jesus
Maybe they feel they are stocked up on guards, having Maxey, Edgecomb, and Grimes ahead of him.
Fuck Morey mannnnn
Embarrassment of fucking riches on okc…
idk, toss me a few million dollars and send me to a new town every week.
Philly fans look away
Not sure I can forgive this one, might be the straw that really ends my active Sixer fandom. We’ve lost 4 in a row and can’t score or create or shoot or pass.
Almost like trading away one of your only players who can create and shoot is a bad idea. “But he wouldn’t get playing time.” So we trade him away and make the locker room worse, instead of telling Nurse to grow a pair and play the kid more?
Why rework the rotation to integrate more looks like MCcain and develop more youth when you could play Maxey a historic level of minutes til he hurts himself?
yeah but at least the DOW is over 50,000 🫠
*was
Single tear of pride on Thibodeaus face
The Thibs Special
As a newer NBA fan, I might just be talking out of my ass, but it seems like a lot of coaches (and fans) just do not think young development works, compared to just throwing ‘better’ talent on a team
For a lot of coaches, their job is on the line. Missing the playoffs or a even bad stretch in the regular season might get you fired. Having the opportunity and patience for development is a luxury most don’t have.
Nick Nurse refusing to play kids? Where have I seen this before?
And it immediately bleakened our future. With him VJ and Maxey, it made the PG and Embiid aging a lot easier to stomach
Ngl, this is the straw that broke me renewing my season tickets. Had them for 10 years but this trade and then getting nothing at the deadline has pissed me off to no end
I can’t believe Philly did this. 😂
Like, I hate watching OKC, but the organization is so much smarter than the majority of teams, they deserve to be good.
I don’t know why Philly just dumped him, they got a later first to try and find a player that is like him?
We’ve been asking the same thing. I wasn’t expecting much this season but the vibes were there with VJ joining the team and Maxey reaching that next level. Embiid was getting better and even said on camera that he hopes the organization doesn’t make moves in the season just to duck under the tax. Guess the front office thought it was Opposite Day.
I don’t think Embiid is even hurt right now. I think he’s just pissed the team did the exact thing he didn’t want at the deadline and he’s just sitting out. I wouldn’t blame him either. Team wasted his career. And just when there was a solid core and good chemistry brewing… trade to suck the luxury tax.
Fuck Morey.
happy for you guys. also, screw you guys.
The Philly sub Is convinced it was a great trade and we have a solid chance of landing a solid 3-and-D guy with the first to be pick that would magically transform us
I will stare intently. I dislike ownership.
they hazing bro😭✌️
Don’t they do that routinely anyway?
They haven’t done the barking thing in a long time. They apparently brought it out of retirement specifically to get McCain to do it.
I’m trying to remember if they’ve made Youngblood or Carlson bark this season. It’s turned into a new guy initiation sorta thing. Waiting on Topic still, I think.
Youngblood did it for sure
Carlsen isn’t a new guy
Topic’s barked, but he was on IR at the time.
They make everyone in their first post-game interview bark.
I guess it’s just been a while since anyone had a first-time interview. I hadn’t seen a bark in a long time. Makes sense, since McCain is the only acquisition in a while.
McCain seems like the type of dude that enjoys the hazing lol
They still bark and are silly when Gallo interviews them but since they’ve had so many nationally televised games, we don’t see it much anymore
They usually bark as well
I love the relationship the players have with this reporter lmao
Fuck you morey you fucking idiot
But I do love the McCain is on a good franchise
Sold high
Remind me in 5 years or whatever because I think morey got an amazing haul for him. Although the thunder trading for him spoke volumes to me because they seemed to really identify him as talent they wanted
Here’s the thing with that. Everyone wants to say that part, but refuses to acknowledge that Presti wasn’t willing to either give Philly their pick back or make it the better pick between HOU/PHI.
So yes, he identified someone that they could add, but he also refused to overpay. You have to acknowledge both sides of that.
Presti scouted him in the draft and only passed on him because Nikola Topic slipped further than he expected, thus giving OKC the option of grabbing him, and he liked that prospect better.
Yeah, I mean obviously he refused to overpay, why would you overpay if you didn’t have to? What a pointless comment
Like when does he ever get the worse end of a deal? If Presti trades for your player, that player has value. It’s also very much a Morey thing to try and frame it like he knows more than everyone else.
Jmac is a top 8, potential top 5 guy of that draft.
For a late 1st and a couple of 2nds, I’ll take that trade 100⁄100 times
If the Sixers are lucky one of those guys they draft could be as good as Jared McCain. Or they can hope to deal those picks for someone as good as Jared McCain.
Mystery box!
That’s a lot of luck and a lot of hope
Selling a rookie contract isn’t selling high
I mean I don’t see why it can’t be a win win for both sides. The 76ers didn’t have room for him and got stuff that helps them more. And The Thunder got another guy who can contribute and score off the bench. Morey is a snaky fuck absolutely. But I think it was honestly a good deal for all parties involved
Think it’s more cause of Morey shitting on him after for no reason. With VJ and Maxey most people can understand the trade. He didn’t have to talk about him like that tho.
McCain showed true promise his first year. Even if you are overjammed at a spot, he’s on a rookie contract.
I think the better move would have been to keep developing him so you can sell high not at the literal bottom.
But even if they want to trade him, did they let it be known? Felt like they could have got better picks back.
I really don’t understand the rationale the 76ers didn’t have room for him when they are playing their star 40 minutes a night. I literally just watched my team win a title by finding a way to play 8 guards.
this was not a good deal, those rocket picks are gonna be dog shit.
I blame the cheap ass ownership
He barks like a chihuahua but he’s got a heart of a Pitbull!
McCain was asked about his bark during the press conference later on and said, “I felt pretty good about it, but I’m gonna need to watch the film to really see how I did.”
Jmac is so real. I love him.
Thats hilarious
Do you guys think he practiced the bark in private?
Also obligatory fuck u bum u/dmorey
So a chihuahua
I love Jared McCain so much 😭
^yeah ^me ^too 🙃
Same that Philly back court was real likeable. Just gotta sell high on Maxey and VJ so I can go back to hating the 6xers guilt free lol
goddamnit philly you gave him away to a contender?
When you have picks they let you do it.
A lot of picks.
Presti has been playing NBA2K for a while now.
He lit the fire the thunder needed didn’t he
Yeah the team crushing through the west was really needing a wake up call.
Poor 1st seed smh
Spurs are right behind us, watch out for them!
Fuck you Daryl
Fuck you Jeffery-Epstein-associate Josh Harris
Why this man staring into my soul while barking like a chihuahua
People tease Jared McCain but he’s seriously one of the most secure people I’ve ever seen. Good for him.
Cameraman doing Nick dirty with that angle
Called sideline reporter for a reason. Gotta work harder for that good angle. Keeping the hair cause he believes in himself 🫡
Reporter did everything he could to keep the front lookin’ good and the camera just goes for the side profile
Oh my the vibes are immaculate. Please let these boys be healthy in the playoffs
you make me fucking sick daryl
That’s a message to the 76ers.
I know he’s small and isn’t a great defender, but why are they trading a spark plug who’s 21 to the best org in ball? Of course they’ll find a way to let him get off 10 shots a game lol
Daryl Morey is a liar
Love that Jalen took his pocket square right after the journalist said “pockets” lol
Fuck it let Howie run all of Philly sports
yeah, this Jeffery-Epstein-associate Josh Harris has got to go
Why did I have to be born near Philadelphia? FUCK YOU SIXERS!
I like VJ Maxx but Philly is a trash franchise
I hate that this makes me like the thunder a lil
You can hate the way some of these dudes play, but they all seem like great dudes off the court and play unselfish bball
We’re so back
Fucking Morey’s dumbass really gave OKC yet another young player with a huge upside.
Sixers really thought this guy has peaked in value. SMH.
He’s a perfect fit on this team. Fuck.
I love how they mess with the interviewer and he just goes with it. Another video of that made the rounds here the other day. Good stuff!
they love nick to death and he feels the same way.
That’s a distractingly large bald spot on that reporter
Yooo this is the first time I am noticing this, seen him a couple times. That’s crazyyy lmfao
Back of his head looking like Baelor out there
too soon
:(
Lookin like Woody’s balding ass head
If they get the Jazz lottery pick I will just act like it didn’t happen. 😀
There’s basically zero chance the Jazz lose that pick. Their tank game is too strong.
Have you looked at the tanking pool lately?
Yes, and they’re 3 games ahead in the loss column of the Mavericks and 6 ahead of the Grizzlies. I really don’t think you have much to worry about.
I hope you’re right, champ 🫡
Damn I love McCain
Which is why it sucks so hard that OKC of all teams gets him - they get even BETTER than they already are and he’s a young stud
Damn man OKC about to own this decade at this rate
the next 5 years are mine.
obligatory fuck pat bev.
Was that a chihuahua
Perfect fit
In 5th grade halfway through the year they switched me from the ESL class to the normal 5th grade class and it was way more fun than the ESL class. I think this is what it feels like for Jared McCain
Right on brotha
Daryl Morey, eat your heart out
I despise you Daryl Morey, and I especially fucking hate you Josh Harris, you cheapskate Epstein freak.
Sixers org is so trash man
I wonder if they explain to these sports journalist that to do this job you need to be able to perform while giants stand around you fucking with you the whole time
His game is much better than his bark. Thunder Up ⛈️
Thunder are so lucky
How you trade away a first round pick after having a great year when you have struggled to find depth at Shooting Guard for so many years is mind boggling
Let’s not forget and go back to the reddit post when he got traded, let’s remember the amount of redditors that think they are analysts of the game, let’s remember that they said he was absolute dogwater player and that his rookie performance was a fluke and that he couldn’t come back to playing like before.
Let’s not forget that redditors have a serious general manager complex here. People here really do think that their opinion is the opinion of an actual basketball savant and professional.
Morons.
I’m Sixer fan for most of my life I can’t stand Daryl Morey
egg did it better
McCain was the rookie of the year before he got hurt. Trading him is kind of unthinkable. He was carrying the sixers single handily as a first year player.
The vibes are immaculate
Is this sort of noise isolating thing done by the broadcaster? Or is it just like a YouTube thing where ai has been randomly added to videos?
Why remove the ambience of the arena? Just interview him in the locker room or at the press junket?
Imagine “ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE” in silence 😂
Can’t believe the 61st traded him to OKC of all places. They already have a million young guys and picks, and then they just get handed another great young guy. Sad
Daryl Morey is an idiot, why would you give okc McCain for nothing
its crazy how much i fuck with okc
Sending this clip to my neighbor (hardcore sixers fan)
Man McCain fits in so well on this team lmao
That microphone and whatever compression they have is doing WORK. That arena is so loud and all you get is the voices.
Daryl Morey is a…..
Daryl Morey is a liar lol. Talked all that shit and this trade is already aging terribly
Okc this shit is cute and all but youre still the most unlikable team of all time
i like this 😂
You better be here when I get back. If you steal from me, I’ll hunt you down… with dogs!
In a league full of meowers, Jared McCain is a barker. *insert masked dog meme
I am a husk of who I once was
Sounds like they’re using AI filtering to pick the two voices out from the crowd noise.
Happy for this guy
They stole this boys joy and spark
Team hazing
To the sports reporter…..it is time my guy. r/bald is a safe space.
Philly you idiots
Say what you want, but I find these cornballs endearing
i’m taking josh harris and daryl morey to hell with me
Adam silver 🤢🤢
As a Sixers fan, FUCK the Sixers.
Dude is such a mf dork
