[Highlight] Alternate angle of 284 lbs Jokic putting all of his body weight on top of 184 lbs Keyonte George
I hope the Jazz are smart and say Keyonte George’s back is sore, and he’ll be out for 2 weeks, to help the tank
I hope you get a job with them
Senior Tanking Analyst
You mean senior load management analyst~
That’s my wife’s position
She does a really great job!
I was surprised by how many references she had
An entire graduating class!
One of my best interns
Magna Cum Laude
Real last one in, last one out type of workers
Can confirm, she’s got so many 5* reviews on Google.
her best position, in my opinion
I too, choose this guy’s wife
Out with a torn asshole
“Let’s see that replay one more time, this time in super slow-mo and zoom in so we can really see where the injury occurs. Ooo yea we can see right there where his asshole gets torn. Can we get a different angle on this guy’s? I’m asking the tv crew here to see if we can get a better angle”
Bang! Bang! Oh what a shot by jokic!
When a guy bangs on you …
Jokic shouldve never took his feet off the ground; incredibly reckless with that play. He could’ve broke keyonte’s back he’s so much bigger.
Key’s been putting his whole team on his back all season, he’s used to it
Jokic might outweigh that whole team, tho.
#save a George ride a cowboy
Lauri, but yeah
I seriously believe the Jazz could do a Detroit Pistons turnaround in a year or two. With Key, Markk, JJJ, and Kessler, something could happen.
he just did it again
He used to do it to Zubac a lot when they played the Clippers. It’s a part of what he does. It’s just extra obnoxious here with the victim being so much smaller.
George is doing what guards are taught to do when fronting lol wtf is jokic on lately
Jokic BEEN doing this lol
The Jokic PR has been so insane man all of the top 4 play unethical hoops to some extent, tired of people pretending he’s so clean
First rule of PR. You don’t have to be good, you just have to convince everyone (if needed) that your contemporaries are worse, the public will do the rest to sparkle up your image.
That’s very true. Just portrait yourself as the lesser evil and people will shit on your rivals for you
Jokic might have the greatest PR in NBA history. lol
He really does. Embiid wasnt as hard to make a villain as SGA but they made him as hated as Hitler basically and now somehow SGA, who I never see a bad thing said about him as a person and plays a super exciting game, is treated like Hitler junior.
They had the nerve to compete with him for MVPS
The funny part is Jokic flops as much as anyone, he’s just really fucking bad at it so he doesn’t get the calls meaning people don’t care
The one thing I find hilarious is James Harden did this exact same thing one time to MCW a decade ago and ppl constantly bring it up when shitting on him, but Jokic has done it multiple times, many in recent seasons, but for some reason people are only disgusted when they talk about Harden’s time doing it a decade ago.
And I fuck with Jokic heavy but we all know why
Jokic is starting to get way more hate for his antics as he’s been doing way more bull shit lately. It didn’t used to be nearly such a big part of his game.
That Harden example got so much attention for two reasons.
Harden was by far the worst flopper/foul baiter in the league at the time, so everything he did was looked at with more scrutiny.
Most importantly, the foul was called on MCW! That’s why people talked about it so much. Harden jumped on a dude’s back and they rewarded him. Acting like it’s because he’s black and not because of an absurd call perfectly encapsulating Harden’s game at the time is such classic Reddit.
Luka and Jokic are getting more and more hate this year as their antics get worse, but so many of you are so desperate to ignore that so you can play the race card.
Non shooting foul flopping has been a big part of jokics game since before covid. People just weren’t paying as close attention. He also used to do the eurofoul a lot more to stop transition until the rule change to make the punishment worse
You know how Giannis had a happy-go-lucky image when he was younger but he was lowkey kind of dirty? And as he turned 30, injuries began to pile up, and his team struggled, more of the angry side of his personality surfaced? I think the same thing is happening with Jokic.
He is definitely flopping more out of frustration hopefully reels it in this is embarrassing.
It’s pretty bad, lol
I know Dunleavy hit him first but I will never forget that Bucks vs Bulls playoff game where Giannis came running down the floor and trucked him lol
Fuck Mike Dunleavy
Giannis could have been a free safety
Jokic did this shit before he wasnt an MVP level player and the Nuggets were in injury hell. He always and taken his frustration out on opponents when the team is losing, they just havent lost as much in the last few years.
He’s extra mad bc he’s playing poorly and his team is losing
Great player but this is who he has always been. He used to get jobbed by refs and never got any calls early in his career, but a few years ago became one of the dirtiest players in the league. There’s no lately about this.
My brother you contradicted yourself twice in your own three-sentence comment
He did this to every thunder big last playoffs. theres so many clips of him doing this shit.
The amount this guy gets “physically bullied” by people half his size is insane. Such a flopper.
I’m waiting for Jokic fans to get in here and defend this similar to how they did with Caruso. “What else is Jokic supposed to do when a guard is being physical with him?”
Yeah if any other dominant big man got clamped by a 6’5” guy in a game 7 they’d be destroyed by the internet lol
It’s been the last season or so he’s really upped the flopping
Let me break down this sequence. First, Jokic hooked Keyonte’s arm and pushed him from behind. Then he tried to make it look like his arm was hooked, but it failed because Keyonte kept his arm from getting tangled up. So, Jokic went limp as if he were dead and acted like he was pushed so hard. He escalated a normal box out into this sequence just to trick the refs. He always hooks his arm and makes it look like he’s been hooked. He is a generational flopper.
If dirty plays are a Jokic thing does that mean he’s a dirty player
Yes absolutely, but you aren’t allowed to say it on this sub for the most part
Yes
He did it to Jwill and hartenstein probably 10 times across 7 games last playoffs
He did it to dort and Hartenstein both on friday
Dirty. Word you’re looking for is dirty
And does it to Jaylin Williams a lot as well, pulled it out pretty much every game vs him in the playoffs last year.
I’ve seen him do it to some pretty small players. Harden did it too a few years back
Let’s see if this one gets deleted!
He’s been a walking meme as of late
He’s always been like this but for some reason this sub has turned a blind eye to it until now for some reason
For some reason
WHITE
Jokic stans in the gutter since he returned from injury
Here before mods delete this post!
reverse the roles and it would be a flagrant 2 and this whole sub crying
i used to play like jokic
What a classic post man I remember stumbling onto that in like my first year of uni and here I am still in uni like 4 years later and the post still lives on time is a flat circle
You gotta try using a comma or something lol.
They dont teach that until year 6
That’s why he’s in his fifth year of undergrad.
What post is this referring to?
IIRC it was this post on I think r/torontoraptors titled “I used to play like embiid, he is reckless on purpose”
link to said post
I used to eat like Jokic
u bum
He is classy on purpose
Yikes that’s dangerous
careful, it only counts when its against him
Or if u know… they fit the family guy meme
Literally got a tech foul by diving when a Jazz player lightly push him
He does dumbass bullshit like this all the time, and absolutely never gets punished for it.
When Dort does dangerous stuff intentionally, it’s dirty and repulsive, but when Jokic does it, it’s cute and cuddly.
Welcome to /r/NBA, where Dort personally tore Hali”s achilles and Russell Westbrook was never good at basketball.
Dirty play and not even called for a foul. The double standard is real…
This is so much dirtier than what Dort did to Jokic. Genuinely insane the treatment he gets
But you see Dort is a thug and Jokic is king
The difference is Jokic is white and European
They even celebrate his brothers who are literally the definition of thugs. Imagine Prime Embiid had two brothers dangerous looking brothers who were camping in America, fighting with fans and threatining people/players. Reddit would scream for deportation 24⁄7.
If Ja Morant wasn’t pretending to be a gangster, and had brothers? Lifetime suspension
no /s needed because I’m not joking
Look, tripping players is bad don’t get me wrong, but this sub was acting like Dort was trying to end Jokic’s life. Jokic could legitimately end someone’s career doing this shit.
Dort’s trip on a big guy with knee issues definitely could end a career too. Jokic being dirty doesn’t make Dort’s crap any less dirty.
I agree, Jokic could have ruined this dudes career pulling this crap. Thankfully it seems like nothing came of it but damn. From the guy who wanted to fight the thunder for Dorts hipcheck, which I think was valid, this feels pretty hypocritical.
He does that all the time
He does it all the time, you say ? Ok so he is a DIRTY PLAYER. Make sure he’s on that list. All I ever hear about is Draymond, Dort, but Jokic does this all the time ?
I wonder if we’ll get two days of ban him posts like we did for that Thunder player 🤔
he was trying to squish him into a krabby patty to feed his horse
I’m surprised he hasn’t gotten a tech yet
Say what you will about the lack of whistle he’s gotten tonight (and the Jazz are playing egregiously handsy with him) but he just straight up tackled Svi Mykhailiuk to the ground on a play
Jokic does dirty shit all the time. He elbows, pushes, undercuts, hooks, and jumps on top of players all the time. He’s not as bad as Dort, but it’s wild to me that he doesn’t have a reputation as a dirty player.
Edit: Don’t lump me in with this other Thunder fan who wants Jokic to get hurt and says Dort is innocent. Lol
and then the hand gesture like “I’m not doing anything”
Those confused arms look so fucking familiar, wonder where I know those from?
Bro did this last playoffs too to Jwill and iHart
And zubac
Thank you, I mentioned this in my comment. I made a collage of him doing it. Literally jumping on people’s backs like he’s their girlfriend, except he’s a fat 300 pound man and they aren’t expecting it. He’s going to end someone’s career doing this dumb shit
He was trying similar stuff in the clippers series as well
He did it last game against Dort before they got into a fight as well.
Normal clean safe unthuggish basketball move
[removed]
It’s actually crazy how this sub and his fans look the other way. This is incredibly dirty and dangerous. 300 pounds on his back bent that way could end in a disaster but because it’s Jokic and the Jazz, play on.
It’s wild lmao they put the Dort shit on the fucking main Reddit page that’s how much they blew it up
He does this to jaywill multiple times a game every time we play btw 😂
He did the exact same thing Dort did to him to either hartenstein or jwill earlier in the game too, this sub is full of goofies that don’t know basketball, and then he did some bs to Joe at the end of the game but of course all that doesnt matter because its jokic the great white hope
He genuinely has the greatest pr of all time its not even a debate
He’s white
Luka is also white and his PR been in the gutter. I do not know why one has significantly better PR
Being fat also probably helps resonate with the average nba fan
Jokics dirty play greatest hits looks a lot closer to Dorts than this sub would care to admit
I’d say this “play” by Jokic is more dangerous than Dorts hip check on Jokic.
There’s potential to do some real damage to Keyon here
Shhhh ruining the narrative!!!!
They aren’t so different. There is a linebacker somewhere under all that white meat.
Hes more of a tackle
But the scratches!
Watch out, the mods are gonna delete this too
honestly, fuck this sub
Fuck Reddit as a whole at this point. Subs get policed based on views / narrative control over rule-breaking. Then on top of that half the comments and posts are bots shilling an objective of targeting hate. Then whats left is just ragebait to generate engagement.
Is it me or has this sub always had a Jokic/Nuggets bias. They are the only team with LO’B trophy flair and their title was 3 years ago lol
Yes, Jokic is this sub’s biggest darling and has been for years now.
Man can do no wrong.
Just a savvy basketball move
Please.
The caption “Keyonte George undercuts jokic’s knees” gets the opposite reaction from everyone
Nobody thinks
why was this removed by mods before ? can any one tell me
mods are jokic stans confirmed
this sub is just too funny , a commentator speaking on sga is top post of the week,jokic nearly ends another player career and the post of it gets removed ahahahha
Weirdest part about that was SGA does not push off with his entire arm the way Ant did with that foul. SGA does like a chicken wing bump with his elbow, Ant fully extended his entire arm in that highlight.
The weirdest part was that SGA wasn’t even part of the game Burke was commentating on lol
we call that rent-free
And even then, Shai had a motion similar to the Ant foul a month or two ago and they called a foul on Shai for the extension, just like they did Ant.
What timeline is this, a Denver fan defending SGA. Kidding aside, everyone does that chicken wing bump as refs won’t call it as long as you don’t fully extend it, SGA has mastered it so much that he rarely extends it while still creating a ton of space.
that coulda went wrong
Hes been doing it for a long time. No one likes to call him out on it either. Its crazy.
What the fuck is he doing
Playing modern MNBA-style basketball
The Harden
Jokic is dirty as hell.
Could have ended his career
I know some people be trolling but you aren’t wrong that weight difference could really mess up either his back or cook his knees
I just read ‘his back, cock, or knees’
I am so confused how it feels like everyone has cognitive dissonance about this clip.
George hooks Jokic’s arm, pulling him forward. He then hooks his arm behind Jokic’s leg which makes him fall even further forward. How the fuck is this Jokic doing something wrong? George commits two fouls and willfully pulls Jokic on top of him. Did any of you actually attempt to see what happened? Or did you just passively watch the video and then jump on the bandwagon?
Actually watch the video by looking at the motions. George pulls Jokic forward by hooking his arm, he then wraps his arm around Jokic’s leg and backs up to put Jokic above him. Jokic is literally attempting to find balance between the arm and leg hook.
Yep I feel like I’m taking crazy pills reading the comments here. Frame by frame, it starts with George locking and yanking Jokic’s arm down and is all momentum from there
You have to understand that this is a thread of, for, and by Oklahoma residents.
I feel like I’m seeing something different than you guys. First they’re just bumping, but then George hooks him and backs into him. He puts Jokic on his back, not the other way around.
He’s totally holding jokic’s leg behind the knee and I pulling towards himself.
I even made comments on this thread I don’t want to delete because I’ll own being a fool.
Pretty clearly he gets hooked on the arm which puts him off balance. Then he gets grabbed behind the knee which puts him into a plank on top, while he’s also trying to sell the call. Keyonte George essentially manufactured a Jokic squat and fell forward.
Was Jokic being a bit of a whiny little bitch instead of moving out? Yeah, but it still ain’t on him.
Keyonte George should’ve been ejected for this. Jokic wanted a piggy back ride and he just dropped him 🤯.
How is this on Jokic? He literally gets his arms hooked and his upper body dragged down while also having an ass backed up into his lower body. He decided to just go with the flow if thats how they wanted to play but he was always going to lose balance with that start.
yea keyonte trying to box him out his hilarious.. jokic obviously using his body aggressively, but george also pulling him down and pulling on jokic’s leg to gain leverage.. if jokic had grabbed george’s leg like that and lifted, that would def be a foul
barkley used to just bowl over smaller defenders trying to take a charge on him.. nba’s always been a big mans game
I watched again after this comment and he’s doing an equal amount of hooking, so I think that’s a wash..
But it’s still iffy whether this is on Jokic. Like, if he’s doing this against Embiid or Adams they are not getting crumpled into a little ball like this, so does Jokic get penalized simply because his opponent is way smaller than him?
As pointless as this is for jokic, George did also step backwards under him.
Shhhhh… dont you bring logic in here, we getting EMOTIONAL
Yes clearly hooks his arm and pulls him forward while walking back into him.
This clip is also preceded by keyonte pulling Jokic’s right knee sideways, and Jokic turning to the refs asking them to do something about it. They don’t, so he sells the contact next time around.
The amount of complete morons on this sub is staggering.
This is a blatant foul by George, did it multiple times too. Basically hugging the bigger player’s legs. Anyone who thinks this is a boxout needs to step outside and take some basketball classes.
For the people who aren’t morons:
This is modern day hack-a-shaq. Call it hug-a-jok if you want. Use a smaller (wing) player to front and constantly hang off, hug, and hold a bigger player, and just bet on the refs not calling it because it’s a little guy defending a bigger guy.
As a countermeasure against it, Jokic has just started to flopping when he’s being hugged, and it looks like this.
It’s unwatchable garbage, and it’s not going to change until that bitch Adam Silver changes or leaves.
Yup, I’m confused by the comments, dude is grabbing Jokic’s legs
People are ignoring his hand wrapping around jokics thigh lmao Him and harkless were hooking that thigh all night
Jokic had a few egregious plays tonight, this isnt one
I swear none of you have played basketball if you think that’s how you box out lmfao
idk it looks like keyonte tried to squat him
Straight up, why doesn’t he try to extend his torso and legs upright instead of moving his arms to Jokic’s legs and then proceeding to try and squat him?
Seriously, he pulls Jokic’s arm then drives his ass back and up and actually lifts Jokic off the ground. I am so confused why everyone is calling this a flop on Jokic? That’s a dirty play from Keyonte
Genuinely disgusting, he could seriously injure a players back doing this, and back injuries are the scariest injuries in sports. One wrong move and he could paralyze someone for life doing this shit
Wiz bro I agree that it was a dangerous play but come on, that is not putting him at risk of being paralyzed
When was the last time someone boxed out your knees, you’re going over them too
Glad the refs have more sense
But there wasnt a shot so he’s not blocking him out
And he is full controling lateral movement with both hands on knees. So jokic is exagerating only movement he can do to force a call. I would prefer a call, even an offensive foul , because these types of entaglements can be dangerous. Immagine the same play but small player is turned towards jokic what would be allowed or what can be done? You could stop with chest, even forearm, knee to quad, but not open palms and hands around body.
I honestly don’t understand what either of them is trying to accomplish here
Have you played the game of basketball before?
Does a player not have a right to a space? A shorter player can undercut a bigger player but a bigger player can’t move to occupy the upper area?
They’re both doing some bs. Little man kind of deserves what he gets for boxing out jokers knees
That’s a foul on Keyonte
How could Lu Dort do this?
I get we’re all hating on Jokic here… am I crazy for thinking this is George’s fault? Jokic clearly starts the arm fighting, but then George hooks his arm and pulls him down further, then grabs the back of his leg. The arm pull might have been an accident and maybe he’s losing balance but idk how Jokic cleanly gets out as he’s being pulled down.
he hops on peoples back so much and does other dirty shit but because he’s jokic no one gives af it’s crazy
This thread is ridiculous. George grabs Jokics arm, pulls him on top of him, uses his hands to lock Jokic from backing up, then slides under him taking out Jokics legs. Where else was he going to go but down
Get a room you two.
I don’t get what jokic is supposed to do here. George is going so low, what should he do just get back on d and not try for the rebound. When the guy in front gets so low like this on the box out your naturally gonna end up on top.
So he putting all his weight onto another player back! That’s why he deserve all the slick stuff others do to his ass!
If you can’t box someone out you can’t box them out, don’t see the problem here
This deadass worse then whatever Dort did but he likes horses
Am I taking crazy pills or is no one mentioning Keyonte lifting Jokic off his feet? Everyone is saying Jokic just jumped on top of him but Keyonte clearly squatted into him and lifted Jokic off of his feet, leading to his momentum falling forward.
Thunders fan gathering in mass because they think the universe is out to get them because of Dort is hilarious
just like how nuggets fans do the same thing or a matter of fact the whole subreddit does to them whenever anything happens lmao
Keyonte wants his back blown out of something…
One of the dirtiest players in the league that no one seems to care about because he’s incredible offensively.
It’s amazing. What Lu Dort did to Joker the other night was a 1/10th of this. Dude could have seriously injured George.
The cope in every NBA thread right now is kinda embarrassing
jokic was kinda dirty but wtf was keyonte george doing
Tired of the Jokic stans and the blatant favoritism shown towards the great white hope. This is dangerous as hell. Shame on Jokic here
And people are mad about Dort tripping this sloppy fat boy loser
