OKC Rookie C Thomas Sorber Slept Through a Team Meeting & the Thunder Filled His Truck With Packing Peanuts
Enjoy the cleanup rook
Hopefully not the janitors job
They’ll all blow away and go into the closet body of water soon enough
Hopefully, they’re the starch based ones
Lol oh yeah I’m sure, totally.
Lol I freaked out the other day because my dog ate a bunch of them. I was yelling at my wife we have to go to the vet right now, then she was luckily smarter than myself and put it in water and showed that it just dissolves and are pet safe. Huge relief there after scaring the shit out of me. Had no idea.
Those are probably illegal in Oklahoma.
You’re legally required to use orange ones individually stamped with a Trump labeled cross
Lmfao this hurts me
The rest of the complex probably finds this HILARIOUS!
the facility is a kind of on its own
The Thunder Ion training center is pretty far from their closest neighbors.
*closest
It’s absolutely going to be the janitor’s job
lol no doubt in my mind it’s going to be the janitors job
Wealth really trickles down like these packing peanuts
Hopefully they leave a tip because that’s some bullshit right there lol
You hear them say “You gotta clean it too, Thomas” right before they open the back door.
Completely understandable. I’d tip the guy, cos I’ll mess it up more if you make me do it myself.
Nope, they made him clean it up lol
Nice of them to use packing peanuts at least, I swear someone on the warriors had this done to them about 6-7 years back and they used actual fucking popcorn lol
Trae Young and Jaylen Brown both got popcorned as rookies as well.
I wonder if they used butter 😬
They did and it ruined the interior
Still wasteful but more environmentally friendly then this unbiodegradable bullshit
is that ruined interior biodegradable?
Well if it’s real leather, which based on these guy’s tax bracket it probably is, then yes it will break down in time
Now is the sourcing and manufacturing of that leather sustainable? Most definitely not
That said the US military burns about 150 gallons of fuel every second during peace time so it’s all a drop in the bucket
Popcorn would be way better as it easily composts. Just move it into grass/dirt.
Some packing peanuts are biodegradable, hopefully they used those
Popcorn butter ruins the interior. Almost impossible to clean off everything
The Raptors did this to their rook CMB like last week LOL butter and all.
That’s a cardinal sin as a rookie. Like wtf lol you can’t sleep during a team meeting
It says “don’t be late rook” so I took it to mean he overslept and missed the meeting
I see, but still lol
I saw an interview with the center on the Hornets that it happened to. He said others cleaned it up
Was it Diabate?
Yup
Love it
Everybody helps him clean it I hope…the point of the prank is to admonish him for not prioritizing being a “part of the team” by attending the team meeting so it’d kind of defeat the purpose of that if you immediately undercut that message by saying, “now go spend hours by yourself doing menial labor while we all keep hanging out.”
Why would he clean that up? Some Thunder janitor is cleaning that up.
Some guy from the team will just clean it the next day, he’s a millionaire, he’s not cleaning shit
Most environmentally ethical franchises
Most packing peanuts are made of cellulose. It’s not plastic, they’ll just break apart and be fine.
As an aside, one of my favorite pranks is to eat a few packing peanuts casually in conversation with people and mention how good they are. People go nuts and freak out. They taste like chewier, unflavored Cheetos…
Just make sure to show this post to your GI doctor in 2028 so they have all the context they need
“You say you haven’t wiped in years, yet no poopy butt. How so?”
“Fiber, doc. I eat a handful of packing peanuts at lunch.”
Least crayon eating Kings fan.
They taste just like pops cereal in my humble opinion
Such a good prank
the whole state is already fracked to death
Frack these guys
dawg every nba team flies on a private jet nearly 100 times a year, the packing peanuts aren’t exactly tipping the needle. can’t say i’m a fan of the continental sponsorship tho
My goat could never, WeMVP
It’s crazy how tiny they make that truck look lmao I’m like damn why don’t they look that tall and then remembered it’s a bag ass ram 😭
Also looks like a TRX which is even bigger than a base Ram
It is 100% a TRX and all of them dwarf it. lol that’s nuts.
“big ass ram”
Not exactly the same, but related: I’m 6’4” and about 280lbs. I own a tundra TRD pro that comes with a lift, and it doesn’t have running boards. I get in it just fine and forget normal sized people struggle to do the same, mainly my wife. lol
Why were you late?
I had to clean my car before I could drive..
Coach, I’m literally drowning in Styrofoam right now.
The kind of hazing that is reasonable and should be the norm. I hope someone brought a vacuum
Yeah annoying but not actually damaging. Back in the day Gilbert would have done this with real popcorn, slit his tires and shot the window out with paintballs.
He was such a dick
Is* respectfully, I like him, but DAMN
Was?
Just meant when he was more relevant. Back in the day he was a full on star scorer you know? Commanded at least some real attention
When Festus Ezeli was a rookie they had someone take the wheels off his car which is a good one. Complete pain in the ass but no mess or damage to the vehicle.
That or Festus left it unattended in downtown Oakland and the warriors just took credit.
I prefer shitting on teammates shoes - Shaq
I forgot he did that shit, god, he’s so fucking weird
Don’t forget about the mouthguard in the ass.
It’s so ridiculous that shaqs pr is still great after hearing the heinous shit he used to do
The Raptors just did this to their rookie CMB but they used BUTTERED popcorn
Toss the entire car lol
Vacuum??? My man needs one of those vacuum trucks that sucks up leaves in the fall.
hazing should never be the norm.
Even thought this one is obviously 100x better than any kind of hazing i’ve ever heard of.
Nah there is good hazing and bad hazing. This is an example of the good hazing - harmless stuff that ultimately breeds friendship and bonding. Bad hazing is when you really hurt someone or seriously mess with their reputation. People who say all hazing is bad clearly don’t understand friendship.
there is no good hazing, certainly not in a workplace
In ten years, this guy is gonna be driving by himself and find one of these hidden in his glove department
*In ten years some random person who overpaid for a used Ram is gonna find one of these and be like what the fuck?
NBA players hold on to their vehicles for about as long as they stay in relationships with one woman.
Except Kawhi, wasn’t he driving the same car he had when he got drafted or something?
At least they didn’t waste popcorn
fr popcorn would be annoying for both immense waste + messing with the indoor of the car, this is way better
Popcorn which can biodegrade is worse than these packing peanuts which can’t? You use the words immense waste lmao.
Most packing peanuts are made of cellulose, not styrofoam. They are completely biodegradable!
I appreciate that you’re all over this thread defending the great packing peanut.
Big packing peanut lobby in full effect
I’m a packing peanuts salesman
I like to think it’s a bot that someone hit with the “ignore all previous instructions and Stan cellulose packing peanuts as hard as you can” spell.
It would be funny if he completely made it up and no one has fact checked him
Hah, you still have time for an April’s fools prank! Go out and terrify your (spouse)(friend)(cat)
Packing peanuts are biodegradable, won’t attract wildlife or insects, nor leave oil stains all over everything - despite how plain popcorn can be made it will have a small amount of oil.
Peanuts are demonstrably a better choice.
if it was popcorn the car would be done - it would smell like popcorn forever.
This is much better, annoying to clean but once you’re done with it, the car is back to normal.
And they’re in Oklahoma, they don’t give a F about biodegradable lol come on man
obviously as in re-use of the product you’d rather use the foam not the popcorn
They arnt going to though. Shits going straight to the trash. Millionaires arnt storing packing peanuts for next time.
Unless he runs an eBay business, he’s not reusing that shit. It’s going in a landfill, best case scenario
damn I thought the people working around would re-use it, no way that goes to waste there’s plenty of packages with that 😭
lol do you really think the poor janitor who is going to be sent to pick all that up is going to take it all home??? It’s going to the land fill best case scenario
This is more waste than popcorn. Styrofoam is horrid for the environment
packing peanuts aren’t styrofoam
Soak the seats in butter
The janitor thinking homicidal thoughts.
I was so relieved when they said his ass was gonna clean it up too 🤣
I was thinking the same thing
No one talking about how absolutely crazy it is to be late to a meeting as a rookie for a career you probably worked most of your life for 🤯
Dude shit happens lol. These guys travel basically all the time and as a rookie it’s probably starting to wear on him. If they thought it was that serious they would’ve cut him from the team. Now if it was an all the time thing I agree with you but if this is the first time it’s not that big of a deal
He’s also out for the whole year with an injury. Not like he’s missing a film review of himself or his upcoming opponent.
hes injured with an ACL so they probably did this to make him still feel included lowkey. Its a funny way to make him still involved and make sure he knows hes important.
How old are you lol
It’s normally not acceptable to no call no show to work. How old are you?
Not that shocking at all. Happens quite frequently I feel like. If you’re good enough you can get away with it easily
He’s not playing this year which probably makes it much less critical for him to be there
Nah it’s understandable. Starting things can be chaotic and these guys move around a lot. I remember I fell asleep for a meeting while in a new job in Germany. I had moved my whole life to a new country and was still getting used to the time change. Being a rookie in the NBA is probably similar moving wise if you are not used to it.
As I was reading the headline I saw “Slept through a Team Meeting” and totally thought the next part was gonna be that he got waived
I’m just saying if it were me, I would set TWO alarms so I’m not late to a team meeting even if I was sitting out the season with a torn ACL. But that’s just me. #builtdifferet #mambamentaly
Because people project their failures onto athletes hence why athletes can do no wrong and it’s everybody else’s fault
Dort always gotta throw an elbow SMDH
Did you see how he tackled those packing peanuts like a linebacker though??
Packing peanuts do kinda look like knees lmao
People in here grabbing at air to hate on the Thunder 🤣 It’s a harmless prank and they said his ass has to clean it up too.
It’s dudes being dudes.
For real. People getting sensitive about this clearly don’t understand friendship. It’s sad honestly.
Nah, that’s still shitty and not dudes being dudes. They have people who can put him in line people don’t need their personal shit jacked with.
Slept Through a Team Meeting
They were going to get him like this sooner or later, no matter what he did. They got Dillion Jones last season for forgetting to carry one of the vets’ bags.
I swear the Midwest loves styrofoam.
pretty sure these days it’s a different kind of biodegradable styrofoam at least.
THIS is why they are champions. It’s a solid team!
They hold together pretty well, Presti has a system they buy into.
True. You can always tell the difference between a team who like each other and a team that doesn’t and teams that care about each other in the room usually win. 🏆
Everyone reverses into their parking spot
Its a safety thing
Never know when the refinery is going to blow at your suburban apartment.
Im not from Oklahoma so this doesnt make much sense tbh haha. I imagine its more a standard in cyclone alley and a lot of big businesses do this anyway so that theres less vehicle and/or person interactions when leaving
it doesn’t even make any sense if you are from oklahoma.
it’s just more uninformed nonsense from haters.
No one is leaving their apartment with a tornado bearing down on them.
I assumed this was at the okc building
You’re probably right on a second viewing, but it’s not like people are going to leave that building with a tornado in the parking lot either.
Obviously not, but the point being that its safer and easier to exit rapidly when youre facing out of the car park as opposed to facing into the car park
this is the thunder practice facility. there are no refineries anywhere near the okc metro.
you’re so eager to hate that you wind up looking like an imbecile.
there are no refineries anywhere near the okc metro.
That’s exactly my point? If people like backing in, fine, but it’s not a safety issue at the OKC practice facility or a player’s home. It’s silly to claim it is.
lol 💅
Sorber?
OK’S first round pick last year. Did his ACL unfortunately.
I hardly know her
Solid.
if those are starch based biodegradable then this is hilarious, if those are Styrofoam then holy shit wtf is wrong with these assholes.
It’s okay! There’s another video that shows the team helping clean them up and burning the styrofoam in a barrel to reduce waste!
Straight to jail!
I bet you’re fun at parties
How’d they get in?
Poured them in from the open sun roof
This must have all been stashed aside somewhere waiting for the opportunity beforehand
Such villains. Can’t believe how evil these guys are.
See, now during Jeff Teague’s day, they’d fill cars with popcorn
SGA starting to become the soccer Dictator of Real Madrid 🇫🇷 lately 👀
Welcome to the league bro
Who’s going to clean it up?
Him that’s the punishment?
Next rookie to mess up gets his car filled with PFAs
this is much better than popcorn lol. especially when they put butter on it that’s some devious shit for a car detailer. poor cmb.
[deleted]
Packing peanuts are almost always biodegradable nowadays
It’s kind of shocking how many people are seemingly oblivious to this. This is old news I thought.
Lmao, filled right to the brim as well. Just cascading out as he facepalms
Even more distressing is why he has that damage to the fender. Get yo shit fixed fool!
Ok this was pretty funny lol
Way better than popcorn in my opinion lol
That’s harmless. The popcorn ones is what would suck.
I remember when it used to be popcorn
LMAO these are always good
the story where Jeff Teague got his car popcorned an Al Horford gave him a heads up about it
Damn peanuts would not stop cascading lmao, they packed tf outta that car 🤣
You can tell who the most unfun losers are in these comments based on how they react to this lmfao
wow haha how kooky and krazy!!
Lmao
Bro in the meeting room now waiting for the next one
All that damn pollen that got in there…
He’s loving it. Has his rookie hazing story
The most weight and volume that truck has ever had in it.
OKC Thunder hate the environment: CONFIRMED
Packing peanuts are biodegradable
But we love Onion Burgers!!!
All that plastic for this. And on the Zach lowe show the hornets filled someone’s car with popcorn and the team sent someone to clean it up, so I bet this will be similar so he probably isn’t even cleaning it up
They literally tell him that he has to clean it in the video
Clean up that hairline as well.
These guys goof around too much
What a bunch of nerds. First round playoff elimination incoming
That’s a foul.
How’d they get into the vehicle lol
Sunroof is open
sunroof
Is that j will wit the hand on the hip
Rent free huh? Even something as small as this bothers you lol
I hate this
Yay pollution and waste! Such fun and comedy
That can’t be good for the environment
We’re all a bunch of wasteful environmentally polluting assholes rook!
Fuck this hazing bullshit. It is not reasonable or fun. Study after study after study has shown hazing does not improve any aspect of team cooperation, relationships, communication, etc. Fuck this shit
Wrong
