[Highlight] Jalen Duren gets called for the foul, looks at Nick Richards who is on the floor, and drops the ball on his face (with replays). Duren got a tech for that
Not something you should be doing, let alone fresh off a suspension for fighting.
For sure but the pistons don’t need friendship with outsiders I respect it
Actively making enemies is different from friendship
yes, making enemies fuels them and make them play harder, it is better !
It’s Nick Richards. Who gives a fuck if that’s an “active enemy” lol.
I appreciate Duren trying to get Chicago fans to hate us again. They’ve been way too respectful to us.
It’s difficult to hate any team more than our own
Re-watch the 1989 ECF. That should get things flowing.
You got that from us, part of the Chicago-Sac pipeline.
They’re just numb
That dude hates the Hornets so much he’s even hunting former Hornets
Proud of Nick Richards for holding that back though
Nah he should’ve beamed him in the back of the head
bro you JUST watched Charlotte lose that battle they’re gonna punish the responder, regardless of who is in the right or who started it. Being there for your team and protecting your paycheck is far more important than fighting a dude who is probably gonna just duck away for the above mentioned reasons
I do not give a shit. Bulls aren’t playing for shit rest of the season so I’m more than fine if Richards wants to bring duren down with him.
Yeah but think about Nick Richards bro is not trying to lose money over a scheduled loss lets be so real
I’ll make an OF and donate money if he does
Nevermind that’s fire as fuck keep on keeping on brother
LMAO
Low emotional maturity I see
Nah that bitch deserves it
Low emotional maturity is creating an alt when someone blocked you for saying something dumb
Lmaooooo you blocked me for calling you out
I didn’t know high emotional maturity meant letting people humiliate you
Says more about you if you decide to retaliate.
I don’t blame him, the Hornets traded him away for peanuts /s
Michael Jordan really was kinda terrorist to this franchise (Mark Williams also turned out to be a fucking soft ass center with no desire to get injured despite having the longest wingspan in the whole NBA iirc even encluding Wemby), you win some and you lose some (Kobe, Shai (fuck you Miles Bridges))
Original foul was not on Duren, Duren was fouled by Richard’s then this happened
Source: I actually watch basketball
Edit: the foul is even announced in the clip, idk why nobody on Reddit can make an accurate title
What 1 hot rap song does to a mf
which one
Greatest verse in rap history, change my mind
Richards literally didn’t do anything here what’s wrong with Duren
Looked like Richard’s flopped to me
He fouled him, that’s what he did. Fouled him and then flopped.
That is pretty annoying.
Team of thugs, been obvious for a while
Nba is so back
“Thugs.” Just say you’re racist
?? Greatest thug in detroit basketball history is a white man
Learn ball
Don’t talk too much you have Hayes on your team bud
Fuck that guy fr no disagreement here
It’s not like he hurt him in any way relax
Edit: Those people downvoting me are pearl clutchers who have never played a competitive sport in their lives
Bet. Ima drop a ball on your face. Relax.
KAT did it better.
[deleted]
What
If he wasn’t too busy flopping and playing hurt he would have easily caught it. Funny seeing the act immediately stop and suddenly he’s in no pain at all when the ball hit him.
Blaming the guy that got hit in the face with the ball is certainly a choice lol
“Hit” is doing a lot of work there lmao
You def never played
Played D1, don’t project onto me because you wouldn’t a mind a guy dropping balls on your head
It just ain’t that serious lol
Yeah move that goal post lmao
What goal post did i move lol
You never can tell what r/NBA will get their panties in a bunch about lol. Barely anything there
Gently drop a ball on my face so that I can catch it! Oh no, I’m terrified!
Cool. When I do it just relax
I will be pretty relaxed
I imagine you usually are when a man disrespects you lol
I’m confused by your wording here, because you said it in multiple comments. Do you think he dropped the ball on his face “so that Richards could catch it”? Lol what is the point of adding that? He clearly just wanted to drop the ball on bro’s head.
I think he purposefully did it because the guy flopped and was laying on the ground looking for a foul. I don’t think it’s a big deal in a competitive basketball game where guys shit talk each other all the time.
Well yeah it’s not a big deal and no one’s getting hurt, so why are you using language to downplay it if you think it’s whatever?
What?
“Gently”, saying he did it for Richards to “catch”, blaming the guy on the ground for getting hit in the face. Meanwhile you know if anyone did this to Duren he’s losing his shit.
Yeah I hope next time when someone drops a ball on Duren or Stewarts face they don’t start swinging lol
I’ve played competitive sports and never once done it, so guess you’re wrong 🤷
I have played pickup basketball games where people have fought each other. But losing your shit over a ball being dropped to somebody so they catch it is a choice I guess
If you actually did then you’d know that fighting over a ball getting dropped on you while you’re on the floor would be pretty normal
This isn’t street ball tho. You can get away with getting in ppls faces and talking shit in the NBA, but once you start shoving dudes in the face or throwing balls in their face you’re going to start a fight almost every time.
He didn’t shove him or “throw” the ball. Watch the video.
Drop whatever you wanna call it
I mean he clearly dropped it on his face before he caught it…I’m not losing my shit and nobody on the thread is except you for defending a clearly unnecessary action. But I don’t expect much from Detroit fans
Generalizing a whole fan base is the mature response
Yet you know for a fact that Duren or Stewart would lose their shit if someone did this to them. Do you know why that is? Because they have the temper of a fucking 3 yr old.
🤡. Or they play with adults, not children that can’t control emotions.
Richard’s realized who he was about to throw the ball at and stopped lol
Beef stew woulda came flying from the rafters like WWF
Richards very clearly flopped
He was called for the foul
Love Duren & Beef Stew
Yeah but Richards was asking for it.
I mean he did go down like he’d been hit in the face despite being literally behind Duren. This replay doesn’t show the close up of that moment but it looks like a blatant flop, which is clearly what Duren was annoyed about. Doesn’t justify bad sportsmanship, but he’s not just provoking dudes for no reason.
Man yall are crazy lol. So what if he flopped, don’t drop a ball on his face.
Dude apparently has a free pass to start shit. Keep getting little shots at guys in the face and suddenly a situation isn’t diffusible.
As far as I’m concerned he did a this for no good reason in a game up big.
Man I literally said that the flop doesn’t excuse his behavior. I’m just saying that he wasn’t acting completely unprovoked. And let’s be real, is dropping a ball on a guy really much worse or more provocative than some of the trash talk players come up with? By itself this is a nothing incident and you wouldn’t care if you weren’t still mad about Diabate.
I think majority of players will react pretty negatively to dropping a ball on their face. Most players don’t react much to trash talk so yeah it’s different.
I mean it is a nothing incident. I just think Duren acts like an ass for no real reason sometimes.
It’s taking you longer to get over it than Diabate, and he took forever
Not really first time I’ve spoke about duren since around the incident really! This post happens to have some ppl defending him doing dumb shit,
You’ve got like 10 comments in here lol
Bet you defend an actual dumbass like Lamelo driving a tank in the wrong lane while getting upset about a basketball touching a man’s face
Probably not. But they’re mainly replies so who cares lol.
I didn’t defend Lamelos car crash lmao. He’s a dumbass and he’ll get what’s coming to him if he continues on like that.
You going through my comment history?
If you didn’t defend it why would you think I’m going through your history lol. I bet you did
The immediate downvotes let me know I’m dealing with an elite redditor
Because I spoke about the accident yesterday or days ago in the hornets sub.
Idk why you’d bring up the car crash otherwise. Completely irrelevant to what we’re speaking about.
Don’t embarrass us
Sir yes sir, I apologize for embarrassing you
It was totally the flop and the bad acting that made Duren do it.
Yeah duren should’ve slapped him in the face too for good measure.
I’m glad the hornets fan said it. Not me.
Hornets should be too busy defending lamelo being an ass driver to have an opinion on anything
the bad boys
Richard’s elbows him in the throat at the start of this clip and pulls him down completely untucking his jersey and ends up on the ground from nothing. Then gets the benefit of the whistle. Peak NBA right here
The foul was called on Richards though mate.
lowkey tuff lol
Looks like a flop!
yeah not really necessary lol
Dude hung out with Stew on his lil vacation
worth the tech that was tough
Bad Boy pistons
I like how dude was reacting as if he hurt his ankle but Duren dropped a ball on his chin and his ankle just magically heals
Need this kind of energy in the league
NBA’s been getting a little too emotionless over the past decade. I’m here for stuff like this.
LMAOOOOOOO
Almost worthy of an election. Richard’s feels like a pussy if he doesn’t fight him.
LOL
Pistons are an elite orlando magic lol, very few likeable players on the team!!!
I like them
just coming back from a 2 game suspension too, come on bruh
surprised Richards kept his composure and didnt yeet the ball at him
Was this the “my life in Jesus” guy yesterday?
Duren a bitch
Idk why the color guy got a dig in at Cade for what Duren did
There was no dig
“Here’s the leadership of Cade Cunningham”
I know it doesn’t show it in this clip, but he was saying that in a complimentary way as Cade was pulling Duren away from a possible scuffle.
Ahh got it, ty
second game in a row Nick Richards is pissing off opposing players lol, RJ threw an elbow to his stomach last game
You could tell Richards flopped because the moment Duren drops the ball on his face, he stops acting injured and acts like he’s about to throw the ball at Duren.
duren and reed are dumb bitches
Bball Paul slander will not be tolerated or forgotten
Fuck his bitch ass
Relax, little guy. It’s just a game.
You are not it Duren. Stop it. You are not Beef Stew.
Fake tough guy
hes one of the strongest dudes in the league bruh i dont think anyone wud fight him
We just saw Miles Bridges throw punches at him like last week
Tried to sneak a punch while he was being held back and missed, so tough
He was down to fight Isaiah Stewart right after lol
Lol “down to fight” as if he had a choice, he ducked and held on for dear life. Trying to paint any Hornets players as tough for acting like deranged lunatics and charging guys who weren’t engaging them at all is certainly a choice.
The guy I originally responded to made it sound like everybody in the league is scared of Duren and I just gave an example of how that’s not true
miles bridges is a deranged atp if there was no security miles wud end up like tomjanovic
Duren really is Superman in your eyes, Jesus Christ
Duren still in Hornet fans heads
a fluke run made all of them talk.
I hope we play you in the play ins. Y’all are so easy
no yall are a fluke anyway. not happening. i like kon though
!RemindMe 50 days
no just common sense lol just think for a sec
Getonhisdickerson
the amount of hornets glazers on this sub is crazy. i promise u they are NOT allat.
i dont think anyone would be upset about that
on bro
Strength does not mean you can fight
i cant send the image of the drooling patrick but yea.
“muscles dont win fights” -Salt Papi
i guess bro
How old are you?
“Moussa Diabate” had him backpedaling
Why is Moussa in quotes that dude is strong as fuck
For sure. It’s just cuz he’s not a guy you’d think would get down like that. Even commentary during the brawl said it was out of character for him
He got in a big fight at Michigan too lol
hadn’t seen him get into a rage like that before but he’s a maniacal hustle guy so it’s not completely unexpected lol
So he wouldn’t get suspended for more games. Had nothing to do with Diabate lol
exactly. common sense isnt so common anymore
I was about to comment on your self awareness but I see you’ve a 1month old account and are just ragebaiting.
hornets glazers EVERYWHERE
I mean that’s fine, but shoving a dudes face and wanting none of the smoke afterwards is just dumb.
Common sense would say don’t shove someone in the face to begin with if you’re worried about the suspension.
if he punched him then hed get hella games lol
I know, but why shove them to begin with? If you’re going to do something that’ll obviously set off a fight it won’t be a great look when you try to back out of it.
Yeah he shoulda clocked him and got suspended for a long time. What?
Yeah, that’s Stew’s job.
cus moussa was throwing hands and if he hit hed have a broken jaw. if he acc fights him its over for him
Is this bait? Honest to god can’t tell if you’re serious it’s so laughable
duren wud have him on the floor. why would he try and get suspended.
Most obvious 1 month old rage bait account with over 700 comments; jesus bro get a grip
Did you just say acc as an abbreviation for actually bro
so what
u sound dumb
You acc do bro
Bridges just socked him in his shit last week. And by the looks of things he’s gonna get socked again
now we are just lying
We watched different videos. Bridges didn’t connect with shit
Socked him right in his shit
wouldnt expect more from a lakers fan than to straight lie
You’re a Hawks fan, I guess you have nothing better to do than continually lie 🤣
about what exactly? u can lie that ur team is actually any good. net rating for yall is neutral, first round exits, and yall lead the league in FTs. at least i can say my team is ass.
You’re a Hawks fan 🤣
at least im not most likely a bandwagon fan lmfao. nothing cool about supporting a team that isnt as good as the record suggests. wolves or nuggets boutta get yall ass first round js like last yr
So was diabate the aggressor or the victim like y’all have been crying?
