[Highlight] Scottie Pippen Jr. pulls Myron Garden down while mid-air. Myron Gardner hits Scottie Pippen Jr. from behind which leads to a physical confrontation.
Refs could call either of those fouls and probably avoid the fight
I can see them missing contact on the rebound but how the fuck do they miss him hitting Pippen in the back
Everyone saw the contact except for the refs
Except the ref when it literally happened in front of him
Eh with the scores being what they were this probably is just them trying to let things slide so they don’t stop the game in garbage time, thing is it led to a much bigger stoppage
Well, in fairness, neither of these broadcasters mentioned either the pull down or the screen/body check.
Let’s not downplay things, that wasn’t simple “contact”. Gardner went up straight and came down sideways cause he got pulled
Lowkey dirty play. Pulled him down and didn’t let him land on his feet. In a blowout too.
Edit: I’m accommodating
Lowkey? That was very obvious
Not to the referees though.
lowkey means obvious these days. like literally
Tf? Y’all are cooked
Bring back the mid 2010s slang cause y’all are hootin right now.
not much of an injury risk here i don’t think, tbh
Noones downplaying it the guy is saying he could see the refs missing it because it happened in congestion under the basket with 2 minutes remaining in a 20 point blowout.
Meanwhile the other one was right after his release and in the back in open court. The second was much more visible.
He’s literally throughout this entire thread downplaying it as normal contact lol
They said it happens on “every contested rebound” lmao
Okay I haven’t read his every comment but this particular one is fairly clear cut
Imagine being this willingly blind, deaf, and mentally challenged. Hello hellen Keller I thought you were smarter … And dead
Yeah that was dirty, but I think you could argue in the moment maybe it looks like he took a bump and fell, but there is no way the second one should not be called, it was beyond obvious.
I was merely pointing out that it was more than just “normal contact” like the guy i replied to has made quite clear he thinks it was
Yeah that’s fair. I think we can all agree on one thing, these refs are fucking horrendous.
Very much so.
The ref wasn’t looking lol
not a single one was looking
They were all looking how much time was left before they get to go home.
Looking at clock
Looks at guy in crowd drinking beer and thinks mmmm that looks good
Looks at court “oh hey a dead guy”
Mall walks down court
i mean they are trained to watch normal basketball gameplay, which usually means they stop watching shooters after they cleanly release the ball and land.
next they have to focus on rebounding fouls, goaltending, deflections out of bounds, stepping on the baseline etc etc.
Didn’t want to affect the FanDuel stat lines
Yep that was a foul. And a good ref calls that because they can tell things are about to get heated
Because it was way after the shot, and all eyes were on the rebound. Not excusing the miss, but i can see why it happens. Both misses were blatant.
Seriously. Everyone still in the arena saw that and probably were like “…ok no foul?”
Yeah really shows how fast a game can get outta control. Game was already over anyway, but still.
Hit someone with a tech/flagrant to release the pressure valve and play on.
100% on the refs. They just sat their and let that shit happen.
Right? How was neither one of those whistled?!
Pippen’s foul was sneaky and loose ball fouls are missed all the time. Gardner’s foul was so late that none of the refs were looking as they were all ball watching. NBA needs a 4th ref, but the ref was looking right at the pippen foul, pretty crazy to not call that one
What the NBA absolutely does not need is more officials 😂
You work for the ref union or something?
4th official likely wouldve been looking at the landing and saw the gardner foul
We gotta stop the tanking though
The fan reactions to the fight was great though.
Exactly what I was thinking. But as for them, they likely didn’t call the second one, cause they missed the first one, and figured “Well now that they are even, this definitely can’t escalate”.
lmao SPJ got up knowing he was getting ejected
lol you could see it on his face
2:00 left? Hell yeah.
And 20 down lol
Don’t blame him at all
He’s the one that started it, I definitely blame him.
“Don’t blame him at all” bruh he started it
Well, fuck around and find out.
Fine the refs. Inadequate
100% on the refs. That is ridiculous
I am with your point and I get it’s a turn of phrase, but saying it is 100% on the refs got a chuckle out of me
The refs putting Harry Potter type spells on these dudes to act up?!
You’re telling me Ref aren’t casting Imperio on the players to get ratings up??? You’re such a muggle, of course they’re wizards doing this.
I’m just surprised the North American Department of Improper Magical use isn’t doing anything about it.
Adam Silver clearly works there as the Supreme Chancellor of Muggle Athletics… Just look at him…
It’s also good for business.
I mean fair, but call the first foul and the second one probably doesn’t happen. Call the second one and the fight probably doesn’t happen
They replaced all the Gatorade with Skooma. Saw it with me own 2 eyes
Absolutely wild nothing was called on either. Like bro what’re you looking at?
It’s a 25 point game with 2 minutes left in a half empty arena, they just want to go home
Yeah that’s fair. I do that at my job too when it’s slow at the end of the day.
There are a lot of great restaurants in Miami. They were thinking about their dinner plans.
All 3 refs were ball watching on the gardner foul, none of them saw it.
Eh. Let them fight it out a bit. Modern NBA is way too soft.
It would get called in basically any era
Why would you cut the video off there smh
Karma fiend
I feel like someone shoved me from behind
“Become a premium subscriber to see what happened next. You won’t believe your eyes!!”
NBA referees HATE this one trick!
But first, a message from MeUndies!
Should delete this whole post quite frankly.
Even worse… they uploaded Part 2 in a second post.
I refuse to give them the satisfaction by linking it here.
“Full clip in my bio”
same type of people that post highlight videos every day. They post the play like 2 minutes after it happened and don’t wait the 30 seconds for the replay and for some reason the mods don’t delete that trash.
Pippen Jr. went straight to it and wasted no time lmao
Pointed right at him as he ran toward him 😂
Meanwhile, KD points at a ref and KD gets a tech
Him putting his head down up the court, like “aight this is whats its gotta be coo”
He’s the one who started it. I don’t get why he’d expect to pull that dirty play and the other guy to be okay with it
I wonder if part of the thought is “I’m about to lose 3/82nds of my salary, but I ain’t gonna let this mofo just truck me from behind”
He’s sick of y’all making fun of his mom and let it all out.
let it all out.
So did his mom.
He deserved to get knocked down. He deserved more for what he did.
Stupid ass referee saw that hit, and did nothing
And if they make the completely obvious foul call they avoid a scuffle into the fans. Protecting the players and fans. But nah they wanna get out a couple minutes early.
Lmao I’m pretty sure it was the same ref on both calls tooo
NBA refs are garbage.
And as a result, the NBA product is garbage. Like for real, this shit is absolutely unwatchable now
I dont get how the best we can’t get is a bunch of old guys with huge egos doing this as basically a hobby and would be retired golfing if they got let go. The refereeing in this league is so much worse than any other major sport except maybe Soccer.
Refs caused this, but see no consequences
Fork found in kitchen
Refs literally asleep
Refs won’t whistle these guys assaulting each other, but give Luka or Sga 10 fts for air.
lol
Fuck the whistle at times
I could see the ref not seeing the first one but Gardner literally runs up and shoves Pippen to the floor right in front of the ref.
He def bumped him to the floor, but it was pretty slick by Gardner so I can see how it was missed, he made it just look like an accident. He didn’t extend his arms or anything like that.
But how is it not a foul even if you could perceive it as an accident? People running into others like that and knocking them over is called regardless of intent
I don’t remember if he got ejected for it but Jokic got at least a flagrant when he did that to Morris
That jokic one was way more obvious and malicious than this. They’re quite different
lol are you blind?
Bruh, he didn’t bump him, he ran into him lol. No excuse for it being missed.
Fine the players, fine the refs… But WITHOUT A DOUBT… FINE u/YujiDomainExpansion FOR ENDING THE VIDEO THERE!
Garbage ass reffing
The fuck are the refs looking at lol
Pretty easy to see that they were all looking at the rebound on the gardner foul. The ref that shouldve been looking at the landing was looking right at the pippen foul though
Blow out situation.
Vet refs should know that a shot from behind deserved or not can lead to something.
You take control of it then and there and it’s over with.
Lot of people at fault there.
Heat fans, are saying that the pull down was more dangerous. Meanwhile they, more than others, should know how a hit from behind with the associated whiplash is worse.
Cut the video right when the action starts, good job
That ref just hit a confused Pippen with the shrug emoji.
“I’m already using my hands to signal your made 3 point field goal, Scotty. What do you want me to do. I can’t call a foul it’ll ruin my 3 point signal. Why don’t we just get up, head back down and do play on. Get up, come on now. Oh wait scotty nooooo-”
Refs caused this , that was such an obvious foul wtf
Ref wanted the night to end.
Refs were trying to beat the traffic I guess
Fuck are the refs doing?? At this point get rid of the refs, players call their own fouls.
Fuck are the refs doing??
Nothing. They doing nothing
Refs really dropped the ball and let this escalate.
Yeah. The shove from behind happened in front of the ref and he didn’t do anything. What a genius.
Justified
Brawls leading to suspension > load management would make tanking more entertaining
Speaking the truth
I told my wife it won’t ever matter much if SPJ gets suspended because he’s maybe playing 1 out of every 3 games anyway. Big brain move.
refs wanted to end the game asap lol can’t blame em
Cheap shot doesn’t mean you have to pull fisticuffs but I understand
Especially when you was dirty first should’ve took it on the chin😂
As someone who doesn’t follow either team, are you saying the cheap shot was okay?
Yes Scotty pulled the down when he was rebounding, but I feel like there’s levels to “dirty plays”. Scotty pulling him down is something that isn’t uncommon in basketball; body checking a guy from behind also happens, but I’d say it’s a higher tier and less common. Pulling fisticuffs doesn’t happen often and normally isn’t justified over a game so that’s definitely tiers and levels above.
No the cheap shot isnt ok, none of this was ok.
I’m saying you have to expect it if you do something dirty/wrong, so yeah the cheap shot was warranted. If he doesn’t pull him down he doesn’t get body checked. You don’t pull a guy out of the air and get to dictate how he responds. Scotty started all of this
Ok, I’m now a Scottie Pippen Jr fan
Fuck yeah that was dope
Incomprehensible levels of incompetency by those 3 refs for not calling either of those blatant fouls
I like how he was like “I’m cool I’m cool I’m cool” so no one would stop him. Then just went straight for him lmao.
This literally the refs fault, you’re standing right there and don’t call Scottie pulling him down out the air you dufus?
Myron Gardner was like the 9th best player on one of those Patrick Ewing coached Georgetown teams. The fact he’s in the league is crazy.
Bro ran the whole court and went “Yeah ok that’s 1 for 1 let’s go”
What the fuck is wrong with the refs?? They really just let that shit happen, embarrassing.
If they called the initial foul by SPJ there wouldn’t be any of this. Refereeing at an all time low
All this in a blowout loss is insane.
I can’t see anything in these shitty highlights
Commentators taking Gardener side and even talking about a foul is crazy. If the clip was longer you’d hear them
The ref was already on the way over when they made contact. He knew what was about to happen since no one blew the whistle on two plays where players are thrown to the floor.
NBA is a Circus under Silver.
Pippin Jr. got up so chill I thought he was gonna forget about it lol
this clip is WAY too long, do you think you could make it shorter please?
Maybe a foul? If this was SGA he’d be shooting eleventeen foul shots
Fuck you for karma whoring this cut way too short clip. Mods should just ban people who do this shit.
SPJ chose violence, and I’m here for it
Valid crashout
SPJ started and ended that shit
Yeah, he ended up getting shoved to the ground and in a headlock, LMAO
Refs asleep?
Ref class 101 on 3 point shot, stay with Shooter! Good thing he watched the ball
bum ass refs missed 2 easy foul calls and just ignored it?
How is that not a foul on the bump??? A tech!!
Lol Pippen jr a ho for this how he going to push Myron to the floor and not expect to get hit lol
Is it just me or
How are you gonna pull a guy to the ground while he’s going up for a rebound, then act outraged when he cheap shots you back at the other end of the court
Should have expected that one coming
For those that didn’t watch the game. Refs were not calling much for Memphis. I get the have no center and the tallest guy on the team is 6’9 but at one point it was 20some to 5 free throw differential. I can see why Pippin had to do it himself.
Insane for the refs to swallow their whistles on either of the plays
Unprofessional refs. You’ve got to keep your game under control. Even if it’s only 2 minutes left.
I mean if the refs aren’t going to ref the game we might as well be on the street court. I say they shoot for it
didn’t watch the game so i have no idea if there’s anything else between them but my favorite part of this clip is how myron just looked completely oblivious this whole time.
like the dude just runs back like nothing happens and barely even realized pippen was on his way to beat his ass lol
I think they have gleague/summer league beef lol
the refs are doing what the league wants, the league wants drama for clicks, this was not a mistake it was ‘let them fight then act all morally superior and fine them both’
fuck Adam Silver
Hey, Scottie! Jesus, man.
Respect
And the league thinks tanking is a bigger issue than the inconsistency / dogshit officiating like this…
I for one blame the referees for this.
Pippen got what he deserved. Don’t throw a cheap shot and not expect one back.
Booo OP he stopped this video way too early. You trash for that tomatoes
Redditors say they love fights but when one happens ofc they r complaining
Shoulda swept the leg on the takedown
wow this clip is fucking dogshit, cuts off immediately. do better, OP
Brilliant job op not showing the fight
He made the shot that’s all that matters
Lmao idk why Scotties reaction was so funny after getting leveled
I wouldn’t expect any other reaction to that bush league garbage
This is a no win situation for the players. The Stripes needed to call either of those fouls the second a flagrant 2. If any one needs to be sat a few games it’s the refs.
SPJ has the demeanor of someone about to be out of the league in 3 years. Real pros handle themselves better.
Straight to grabbing jersey? Dudes in nba really don’t wanna fight
Lmao right, pointing at dude then half ass pushing pleeeeease
I wonder what’s her name they’re fighting over
“Nobody wants to fight in the NBA”
Scottie Pippen Jr: 🫵 👊
Why he’s playing down 24
Perfect example of the refs losing control. They call either of those fouls and it’s over. They let the first one go which leads to retaliation then Pippen Jr sees they aren’t calling it so he takes it into his own hands.
Refs are terrible
Why did OP end the video too early?
Anyone, anyone, ANYONE who claims Myron is at fault here must also say that Jokic was completely at fault in the Markieff Morris incident years back
Everyone bagging on the refs, but nobody is talking about how Scottie Pippen Jr should have known that someone might retaliate for the pull down on Garden. The no call sucks, but he should’ve known retaliation was coming.
[deleted]
Even as a Heat guy it was definitely “malicious” in the sense that Gardner definitely hit him in the back on purpose as a retaliation for getting thrown down on the rebound.
But in the end, ref calls either of these obvious fouls and we probably don’t get a fight. They clearly didn’t see the hit in the back, no idea how they miss the rebound one
Interesting. The contact w Pippen is made like immediately when the refs look to see if the ball went in. Kind of an important part of officiating a basketball game I guess haha.
mid-air?
Spj was in the wrong
