Austin Reaves to Luka after he blasted “Texas” during the interview: “You only like it because it says your name”
reaves went to oklahoma so ofc he’s bitter 😭
Also a native Arkansan so he has double the Texas hate lol
I love it 😂😂
Would imagine getting out of Oklahoma makes up for it
Lol Oklahoma is Texas minus the false sense of pride for being from there.
And legal weed Texas is a shithole just like Oklahoma lol
Is the weed in Oklahoma no good?? I lived there before it became legal and I remember the Vietnamese guys always had the best weed for the best prices. Native American weed was hit or miss
I mean I only have experiences with oklahomas but it def felt good😅
Would imagine Luka feels same way about getting out of Texas lmao. Both places are completely shit
Haha Oklahoma bad, so funny
~~ Why do people get to regularly hate my home? This place has a lot of beauty and history with it, and the people here are generally generous and humble…
I know someone will say it’s all in jest, but… I don’t get the punchline, just feels like another form of bullying so that others feel better about the place they’re from, or to simply make fun of people they like less than other people.
I know, I’m probably screaming into the void with this take, but despite it’s flaws, I’ve lived all my life here and feel proud to call it my home. I’ve seen this place and its people come together time and time again after many tragic events, and refuse to think that they don’t deserve someone feeling proud that they do.
I live in Hoboken, NJ and work in the city.
People on the daily tell me, “that sucks,” “why,” etc
Just enjoy the hate.
I’d rather not accept the labels that I’m attributed. I have my own values, and one of them is to not let others dictate who I am, or describe who I am by association.
I’m me, why should I or anyone else have to work harder just for basic decency. Exactly what value do those comments bring to anyone? Why should anyone accept those things?
Don’t take the mean comments too seriously grandma, it’s just the internet. Come on, let’s get you back to bed…
I lived in Oklahoma and can confirm it sucks. A lot of people from OK coping in this thread. Just about any southern city is better than OKC and Tulsa. The small towns in Oklahoma also suck.
Thankfully they got rid of that stupid ass 3.2% beer law. Remember when tattoos were illegal too?
That said, the people also suck. /s
The people who think my home is a shithole live lives I would find unbearable. So I don’t exactly trust their judgement.
I feel you. I’m from Brampton, Ontario (in Canada), and it’s treated like the black sheep of all the cities in the area. Of course, there’s a racial element as Brampton has an extremely high percentage of South Asians, so the “jokes” often feel racist and like bullying. It’s shitty that I’m made to feel like I can’t be proud of my home, where I’ve grown up and experienced most of my life.
You’re not screaming into the void ! Your take is loud and clear and like anywhere else in the world, I am sure living in Oklahoma is worth feeling proud of and the state/city (if you’re talking about OKC, not sure) is fortunate to have you as one of its children.
Thanks, I’ll admit I wasn’t expecting this kind of response at all, but I am appreciative of it.
I’m not wanting retribution or anything of that sort for the people that say these things, just wish they could tell me what exactly they got out of it, and/or why they do it at all. Doesn’t seem to take much effort to be considerate and kind.
Why can’t rivals realize they have more in common than they do different? Why not create budding friendships instead of bitter enemies? Some jabbing is fine, but I also understand that text is a very poor vehicle for showcasing subtext, but all it would take is someone saying, “hey, my bad, I wasn’t aiming for my remark to hit like that.” instead I’m generally just told to take it or embrace the hatred…
Like… do people not realize that the bullies in life are the ones that tell everyone that if you ignore them they’ll leave you alone? It doesn’t work that way, once they’ve found a victim, they want nothing more than to be able to do what they want to that person without fear of consequences. Silence doesn’t resolve anything, it only perpetuates it.
This has to be satire, right?
Combination of the Thunder already being hateable (and good, so extra hateable) and Oklahoma being objectively one of the three worst states with an NBA team, along with Arizona and Louisiana (but nobody cares about those teams so Oklahoma gets the most hate)
Preach. From fucking Texas of all places no less.
OK Vs. TX rivalry entirely because of sports rivalries. People on the coasts talking about middle America is because they never seen how pretty it is.
I wasn’t claiming TX to be less shit than Oklahoma. Only that Los Angeles is a vast improvement of living
For sure for a lot of things, but not everything.
Ayy, see, I’m from Texas (Texas)
We got Beyoncé, Trae tha Truth, and we can’t forget Devin
Big shout out to them boys and I can’t forget ‘bout them Texans
I been feeling like Luka how I ball, that shit a blessin’
it says Siakam canonically
BigX
The biggest. The largest.
Ayy
I am not from Texas, think it’s overall a pretty dogshit state. But this song is a fuckin banger.
There’s at least 30 states that are worse including the ones that border Texas lol
Devin the Dude shoutout!!
These two clowns. xD
I love the Reaves & Luka trolling saga
reminds me of the Brunson & Luka trolling.
Now neither of them play for my team :(
What a bromance
This gotta be a bottom 5 comment section oat holy shit
The energy that laker fans bring
You mean laker haters lol
Vibes are high
Mavericks fans look away lol
The fwbs (friendly whistle boys) at it again
Dallas own bigX…still not right man and will never not be right
This has gotten me in trouble before, but the vibes are so high in the locker room so I have irrational title hopes.
Crank the sounds and walk out lmao
Luka and AR are such a close duo. Good chemistry on and off the court. Rob better not fumble this off season.
I saw the Mavs loose Nash by being too cheap. Then Brunson was lost for nothing at all. If I have to watch a GM fumble at the finish line again, I might loose it.
If Reaves leaves, it’s because some gm way overpaid him
Lmao, ya’ll really take shit too seriously.
They didn’t loose anyone
Is this the lakers sub?
We spent the entire summer seeing snippets of Wemby in china.
I agree, Luka should be sent to china.
I mean he’d have to bring along his son. you sure?
Feels like the spurs sub the other 50% of the time
I’ll never understand comments like these. I love any chance I can see good vibes from all teams. Kornet and Bismack’s goofy pre game dances recently or last years OKC post game interviews as a team every game were great
Bitch I’m from Texas
Of the past 20 posts on NBA one was Lakers based, so no I don’t think so.
They’re ALL Laker subs. You know damn well how we roll.
The most likable Lakers fan.
Nah just the league where the lakers are the best franchise
Bro how can you say that when the Kings are right there!?
Downvotes haven’t even matched our number of championships yet
You just need two more. I can contribute if you want.
