[Highlight] Replays of Jared McCain shrugging off Wemby for the finish and the flex
Should’ve hit him with the too small ngl
Flex into flop would have went so hard.
Collapse to the floor celly
Not the bear to poke but would’ve been hilarious
I want to see someone hit wemby with it just once in his career
I could see someone like Dillon brooks pulling that lol
Dillon Brooks will just stand at half court for an hour during Wembys entire warm-up, giving him the “too small” any time Wemby glances over.
Bring back Pat Beverley.
Pat would do that to God if he could.
I hope Shai hits the same pose Wemby did at the end of game 1 if Thunder win the series. Wemby lowkey arrogant as fuck.
shais already hit several poses that wemby hasn’t, which is one where he raises the MVP trophy, and another where he raises the larry o brien
Lmao true
This is gold, wish I could award you
Uh oh, people are starting to notice he’s fr*nch
Wanting to be the best basketball player in the world is arrogant?
I’m glad someone is playing in this day and age and actually acts like they care
Do you think a giraffe is a bear?
Every bear is the one to poke!
That would have been hilarious
Omg someone needs to do that
He ain’t got a sense of humor. He just hit a default emote
Rare case of justified
Should have hit him with the, “🎶I’m two days into college🎶”
Wemby snapping his head back to draw a foul despite getting bumped in the chest lmfao
Ethical hoops baby
Unsophisticated basketball, if you will
Just a foot short of getting caught in the face
Thunder are the only team that flops though!
Something about ethical hoops
the fact that he could have easily just blocked the shot of he didn’t randomly throw himself to the ground lmao
Atom bomb vs coughing baby except the coughing baby won
Dancing baby
So soft to flop the way he did. Was he expecting an offensive foul or sum shit? And you’re right. At the very least he would have altered the shot and potentially miss.
u/LiamHundley has been disappeared by r/nba for egregious clipping of The Anointed One’s flopping. All family members related to LiamHundley will be notified that LiamHundley will be taking an office position in a remote location with no telephone in Xinjiang.
“The Anointed One” 😭
“watch his head, it goes back and to the left. Back and to the left…”
A second spitter?
I think he legitimately got bodied lol. Jared McCain timed that bump perfectly.
Right… all these people are saying flop, but Wemby just simply got bodied here.
He is 22 and not that strong. Many assume height equals sturdiness. The guy gets pushed around easy, and that shoulder to the chest would absolutely send him. He tried to sell it with the head but he got bodied hard
Underrated flopper
I’m sure everyone was demanding the refs call the technical foul for flopping in the game thread when they showed the replay.
McCain can’t even reach that high
Feel like he was afraid of contesting and picking up his 4th so he quickly pivoted to the flop
Another angle shows that he was already in the air with one of his feet and got spun around. I also thought he tried to sell it but I honestly think he just lost his balance.
Lots to learn, The Alien is 240lbs against a 190lbs McCain, can never sell a foul if you’re that big.
Extremely ethical basketball
Free throw merchant
Wemby flopping when he could’ve easily stuffed that shit sucks
A spurs player would never flop. Reddit told me so
they would say our innocent boy learnt it from okc
It’s different with OKC though. It’s not just that SGA flops, it’s also that Dort is dirty. Wemby and Castle might flop all the time, but they’d never do something dirty like tee off on Naz Reids head or dive into someone’s knees. That’s the difference. Wemby wouldn’t do that.
Nor would he elbow somebody in the face.
[deleted]
Castle SGA had 14FTS.. 4FTS.. wait I mean wait look at this new “he fell” data! Yeah that’s why!
The falling after shots thing is so funny to me. Obviously Shai searches for foul calls often but he is also guarded with heavy physicality, gets fouled a lot + he contorts his body a lot on drives to avoid contests so he often ends up falling even when hes not looking for fouls at all. People will just love anything that reinforces their narrative though
Ntm Shai has said HIMSELF that he exaggerates his falls to control how he lands. Similar to WRs who fall with the catch on every pass, it’s a preventative measure
Don’t forget though, Naz deserved it because he pulled on Wemby’s jersey.
It really is crazy how swiftly the media swept that whole thing under the rug. Made sure to the the fans know that this is no big deal and we all just need to move on.
Careful! People on here will say you have a thunder victim complex! Only one fan base gets that label
Had me in the first half, not gonna lie lol
This was legit said on twitter by a couple of writers. They actually blamed OKC for Wemby flopping. It’s a mental illness at this point.
Lol Manu and the Europeans brought it to the NBA tf
Dort and SGA learning from the greats Bowen and Manu 🙏
Wemby flopping when he gets bumped by a player 2ft shorter than him 😭
I don’t want to hear another word about Chet lol
I was scared Chet’s soul had left his body somewhere during Game 2. Turns out being built like a giraffe isn’t ideal for combat.
To be fair McCain is strong af
Filipinos >>> the French
With where the push hit, it probably shouldered the air out of his diaphragm. He’s so tall that he’s getting gut punched by shoulders
I think Wemby does flop (everybody does and should to some degree) but I agree with this one. He got hit hard in the sternum
Definitely. Everyone at this point has to even a little bit. 3 refs can’t see every angle, and there are still fouls that aren’t called that should have been called. Flopping probably developed out of frustration on those. It’s developed for way too long at this point.
There’s a 1 tech penalty for flopping already in place. The fact they are deciding not to use it is the problem
I’m an OKC fan and I can’t believe people are saying wemby flopped. Watching this live and without slomo you can tell McCain is moving fast as fuck and just plants him right in the chest.
I was surprised it wasn’t swatted but I don’t think wemby was expecting the contact like that
76ers why did u let him go =(
They didn’t let him go, they shipped him off for a saltine cracker
Philly even threw a cheesesteak in there for fun
Hell yeah Philly cheesesteak
An unsalted one
They sold high, remember?
They didn’t sell high.
They sold while high.
They really need a new PR person to make sure those small details don’t get missed
They had the munchies and when presti said “we want McCain” he heard “do you want raising canes?” And he was just too embarrassed to correct himself once he realized
Even most of Sixers sub thought Morey was a clown for saying that as if Jared was just an NFT asset.
It was tacky as hell for any coach/GM type to say about a player they got rid of. Even it were the Lakers talking about trading AD for Luka.
“Yea we definitely sold high on AD…. Luka is 7 years younger and less expensive lol”
It’s obviously true. But you don’t say stuff like that out loud. Like you consider your players chess pieces to be moved around and sold.
He was the rare NFT that isn’t worthless.
McCain is playing so good they should fine the 76ers for that trade.
They should make the owner sell the team.
No team embarrasses me in public more than the Sixers I think I hate them 😂
Epsteins friend needed to stay under the luxury tax again.
We never asked for this. Morey and Harris did this.
Because he wasnt a starter and philly has decided that having a competent bench could get you out of the second round so theyve avoided it for over a decade.
Has Wemby always flopped this much?
Yea but they’re against the villainous, dastardly thunder so all is forgiven ig
dastardly
Has anyone else ever not seen dastardly used either jokingly/sarcastically?
I don’t think anyone alive can tell me they’ve ever witnessed anyone using this word sincerely and seriously.
I have a feeling it was used seriously in some old ass cartoon lol. Maybe like He-man or something. Since then? Nah it’s just been a sarcastic joke lol
Yup. But r/nba hates OKC too much that they are putting all their hopes on Wemby to take OKC down
For a second, I thought you nicknamed him Wembyto.
Brb, gotta go 0-82 to draft Wembytwo
Team Rocket has Wembytwo in a lab hooked up to a bunch of tvs playing every era of ball.
They really could’ve used him on the court against the Lakers
Haha, I like this version too. I was thinking of a Hispanic nickname like Wembito.
If you post a Wemby flop the mods delete the post.
Yes which is why his ethical basketball comments were always bullshit
Spurs have so much dickriding it’s insane
Le classy Spurs was unironic here for years, this is a reverberation of that
It’s funny you can tell which posters have been here for quite a while, and who are new additions to the sub in the last few years lol
Literally yes lol
Which btw I do not care about. A lot of players flop, it happens, it is what it is, sure it’s aesthetically not great to watch but its usually such a trivial part of the game and doesn’t usually affect the result of any game that much so I just couldn’t really care.
I only point it out because of how hard fans want to dog the Thunder for it like they’re literal basketball gihadists, and how quickly fans have ascended Wemby to golden boy status acting like he’s somehow above it. I just hate the lack of objectivity is all.
Where have you people been when we have needed you for the past 2 years?
God’s most perfect basketball angel would never flop. Or elbow someone in the head.
Yes
From day 1 lol
Lmao. What a flop. Yall just pick and choose who to hate when it comes to this shit
Yep. It’s tiring. But whatever
I honestly blame the mods. The shit that gets deleted and the shit that gets to the front page is what creates the narrative
They were busy last night
Yes. The mods here are atrocious and clearly haters (not just of the thunder)
relevant username
Not a flop. He just spent all last night reading Jwill Jmac AO3 fanfics, and was just stunned that he got to see him in person.
Wemby got bodied by freaking McCain and flopped, embarrassing
how dare you, he’s the monk disciple ethical king
Now he defends with his feet as well, really revolutionizing the game
So embarrassing to get bodied by someone half your size and flop like that
Chet plays on our team brocacho
If Chet did this he would be called soft
Chet is definitely a flopper though. But so is Wemby
Wemby has 5 inches and like 50 pounds on Cheddar Cheese
Chet might be slender, but he takes his hits. I swear I haven’t seen a single game where he hasn’t been somehow hit in the face or head.
This is what the refs are turning the game into
Sold high btw
My God… I don’t like OKC, but the amount of bullshit from the Spurs.
They did it all of last series too :) better team and too many injuries but that shit was painful to watch.
I’ll never forget Castle snapping his head 5 times on that one drive. He toned it down after game 1 but that shit was so nasty
His stupid hair is always good for selling contact
Wemby flopping, he’s so unwatchable. The league needs to stop flopping, he’s ruining the league. OKC needs to beat them to save the league from this unethical play /s
“He’s so good, he can win on merit without the flopping antics”
It just sucks seeing someone who can just dominate resort to flopping to get their points. It’s killing the spirit of the game
We can’t link to other reddit posts here, but shoutout to the Knicks fan who said Wemby was the only hope to save the NBA from the Thunder with the Knicks in the driver’s seat in the east.
Harden. Brunson. Shai. Wemby.
Flopping will win no matter what.
suck it spurms
Did you mean to put spurms? Because I’m dying right now haha.
Crazy how Wemby’s head snapped like that on absolutely no contact to it…
I have it on good authority that should be a tech
WHERE IS YOUR GOD REDDIT
Why flop when you could have made a play?
Spurs fans where are you guys
Drowning in their tears.
Damn David took out Goliath
Wemby flopping btw, absolute pussyole
FLOPEMBAYAMA
That’s ethical basketball right there, hell yeah
Mccain is a stud. He killed the Spurs all game when the Spurs cannot punish them on the other end.
Wemby with the FLOPPPPP
Holy flop by wembanyama LOL
Flopping and then getting flexed on by the zestiest player in the league after the bucket is filthy work.
Wait when did we crown Jared McCain zestiest?
Tiktok wins
Sold high
Get bodied Gumby.
Toughest bucket of the night. Was crazy in real time
Winbanana circlejerk is CRAZY. People are already calling him the GOAT while it’s his first god damn playoff run! I know it’s the internet but damn you all are stupid.
That was tuff Jared
There will be a chet clip that looks very similar to this but they’ll say Chet was flopping.
Watching the hater dynamics change in this sub game to game is hilarious
Le Flop
The new NBA way.
Imagine getting bodied by a dude half your size. And then flopping
Bodied, flopped, unethical, OKC in 5
Wemby should be embarrassed
The snap of the neck was a little dramatic and hilarious in 4k
NBA is unwatchable at the point.
He said thru tears while watching his hopes and dreams get crushed by Okc’s bench…again.
Flop
Egregious flop
man all the acting and exaggerating contact just confirms my theory of basketball players all being bitches
Fuck you Daryl Morey
SOLD HIGH
*shots fired** Get down Mr. Wemby!!!
Wemby flopped his head back as if McCain isn’t 2 feet shorter than him. He can’t even reach that high
damn wemby that’s some bitch shit
Wemby got bodied by a tik tok dancing ninja
Wendy flailing 😂
Holy flop
Sixers traded him for a bag of chips
You think he’s flexing on Wimpy? you think he’s flexing to the bench? you think he’s flexing to the crowd? That way, my friend, lies Philadelphia.
How dare McCain violently attack Wemby’s jaw like that. And how dare the crowd chant “flopper” when the dude almost ethically broke his jaw here.
And the crowd taunting by chanting MVP in Wemby’s face while he was down 15pts at the FT line. The dude has feelings… Shameful… /s
Wemby can’t flop, that’s OKC’s job.
Wemby will adjust. I’m convinced everyone will be rooting against him in a year or so when he is puts a little more strength into that frame.
Everyone is saying he flopped but didn’t he have 3 fouls at this point? When I watched it live I got the feeling he fell over because he was afraid he’d get called for the defensive foul here.
So it felt like less trying to draw a foul against Jared and more like he wanted to make sure the refs didn’t pay attention to how he was moving while blocking Jared which I thought could be called for a foul.
How embarrassing for frenchie.
Wemby youre 2’ taller, no one is going to believe you got hit in the face. God damn this type of basketball is ass
“I stayed on my feet like a big boy 💪”
This sub not understanding weight/center of gravity is not surprising
Wemby is weak AF he just got big dogged
Wemby is soft as baby shit.
Don’t sell me this OKC propaganda
Honestly anyone smaller and it would of been a offensive foul lmao he was hitting pads with the shoulder lowered
