A Spurs’ fan who was sitting courtside brought an Oscar trophy to give Shai Gilgeous-Alexander every time he hits the deck/flops.

Comment so dumb gotta love it
I respect the hustle
This entire thread I thought was corny starting with that woman who brought that trophy.
But it gave me a laugh and I had to come back and show my respect for the bit.
I feel like this format needs to take off like “Le” jokes with LeBron. It’s a bit more challenging though.
Jokes are hard. Not all of us can be Shane Gillis-Alexander
Damn, this is a good one, lol.
Just being funny is hard. But you have to admire those that can combine what SGA does (acting) with humor.
Like “George Costanza” actor Jason-Alexander Alexander.
Shame Pilled-Alexander
“Shame Pilled” isn’t a phrase though
that’s the fun part about language; you can make it a phrase by repeating it long enough that AI scrapes it off of reddit.
“I used to make a fool out of myself hitting on ladies at the bar, but, now I’m tol shame-pilled for that shit.”
You’re streets ahead my friend
Shamed Guilty-Alexander
This is like the MBC Antonio brown jokes
Or the Tua Turndaballova ones
You mean Mr Busted Cerebellum?
Goated
Bring a bigger statue!!
This is how you troll. Back to the fan/player interactions that are actually funny. Reminds me of Bucks fans chanting “SoundCloud rapper” at Dame when he shot free throws, or when they played the Barney theme song when announcing the Raptors players.
Generational hating right here. So much better than fans getting personal and crossing the line.
My favorite is the fan calling Draymond Green Angel Reese. It clearly got under his skin as Green confronted him.
#1 for me is still Isaiah Thomas getting rage baited over a frosty
My favorite is the “Bobby Portis your eyes are slightly to big for your head” chant from a couple years ago
Damn, you could say Dame went to Milwaukee to give them their Karma, tbf Pacers were absolute monsters for the 2 times they met in post-season
Giannis missed the entire first series, with dame missing half of it. Dame rushed back from a blood clot and tore his achilles the second series. Think that was more than Pacers being monsters.
“Ugly Sister, Ugly Sister” at Lamar….
I know last year in Indy we had one of the super fans using a manual shot clock moving the needle himself and everything to each number as Giannis moved through his slow free throw motion
I remember when fans threw empty pizza boxes on the court for Barkley
Reggie Miller had Spike Lee harassing him. Time Shai gets a few.
I was at a baseball game recently and the opposing team had a player who had gotten arrested for drunk driving. Every time he came up to bat, a big group of guys at the ground level started chanting, “DUI. DUI. DUI.” It was pretty brutal lol
Don’t know if you’ve been watching games recently, but being mean to players who sell t-shirts gets you kicked out nowadays.
I can think of another MVP who would have had her banned from the arena.
lmfao these spurs fans have been awesome. against all odds i’ve completely changed my opinion of a city in texas. you know he saw that shit too
Some of us aren’t half bad. You know, it helps to get past media bullshit and see people as people.
I don’t know…you guys still harboring the Cowboys down there? 🤢
That’s Dallas friendo. A lot of San Antonians don’t support the Cowboys anymore either given that Jerry Jones has actively kept us from even having arena football
Fuck Jerry for so, so many reasons
What teams have the biggest fanbases there then? Or is it more popular to just hate watch the cowboys?
It’s the Cowboys, I’d guess around 60% to 65% of NFL fans here cheer for them. That’s definitely a lot in a city of this size but it’s lower than the 85% + The Valley and North Texas are.
The Texans have a solid following here and obviously you’ll see more of their gear around in seasons when they are good. I think if they ever won a Super Bowl they’d put a legit dent in the Cowboys hold over SA.
Same thing happened in baseball, everybody was a Rangers fan and then suddenly everyone was an Astros fan
Could just be the circles I run in but I see a lot of Steelers and Chiefs fans.
Absolutely more popular to hate watch the Cowboys here, but maybe that’s how I grew up. You have a good mix of people that love them but Dallas is only good for the Rangers, fuck the rest of them. If they were Cowboys fans instead of Texans or another team, you’d see a Mavs flair to indicate they enjoy the suffering
The Stars are cool too
Not all of us.
Bro trust me, most of us are waiting for SA to get an NFL team to drop that trash ass franchise.
But y’all got some big ol’ women though.
Lots of lovin to go around
And churrrrrossss
Idk man, its kinda hard to look past them big old women.
It’s hard when yall keep saying “yeah Ted Cruz is awesome” and take away women’s rights 💀
SA is a purplish/blue city
It ain’t “yall”, same as when the rest of the world thinks we’re all trump supporters cause we live in the us. Does that fit your description?
[deleted]
Case in point exactly. You can only view us through the limited lens of how journalists choose to depict us. Also, you don’t have to say respectfully if you don’t mean it.
Man, what even is this comment? Y’all need to get off of Reddit/online sometimes. Texas is the one of the fastest growing states for a reason. If it were so awful, people wouldn’t be moving there in droves.
I like California, and it’s more my speed, but the beauty of this country is there are 49 other spots that may be your speed. Combined with COL, values, whatever else, people seem to like Texas. Again, not for me personally, but you don’t need to be so hostile towards OP
You nailed it. I’m from TX, live in California and love both for similar and different reasons at the same time
You’re going to hate this comment: Texas is more liberal than Illinois. Vote turnout is just terrible in Texas.
Interesting comment. I have no idea - I’m not even from the states. If this is true, I wonder if its partly because of how Texas seems to see itself as separate from the US? Like, why are we voting in that, we’re texas?
[removed]
You should see Oklahoma.
Why would anybody willing?
No thanks, I’m good
This generalization is so tasteless and you wouldn’t like it if others did the exact same to you.
I say this as a black guy in California
I would not use Austin as a barometer for Texas, for better or worse
Don’t apologize if you don’t mean it.
Sorry, next time we’ll turn down our banjo music. And let us know when you’re coming so we can make sure to bathe.
We ain’t coming. But your women come to us since you can’t even get them a doctor.
This is lame and corny lmao
I understand why you’d be mad. I have friends and family members that are incensed about the exact same thing you are.
The thing is, it always feels silly to me to paint with a broad brush stroke all people of one place because of the political decisions made where they live. For just as many people who voted against reproductive rights, there’s almost as many people on the other side who fought against it. The story is always more complex than one policy and one media narrative portrays. This is a place just like any other where people are living, dreaming, fucking, fighting, working, loving, aspiring, worrying.
This is the exact same attitude that observes the United States from afar and says all Americans are chauvanistic anti-intellectual bootlickers because Donald Trump is their president, so that must mean that everyone accepts him and is ok with his behaviors. But we know that’s not true. We love our home regardless of who is making the rules for it.
They’re right about America too. Your state is just worse at it.
Oh ok. Now you’re just being a troll who doesn’t understand nuance. Got it.
There isn’t enough nuance in the world to explain away Trump. This country is a shitstain.
Have you heard of the electoral college and the popular vote?
Keep the banjo music. Bro radio country has no banjo and that’s where the chuds have gone
That’s nice
lol you didn’t go into Austin proper then. The red necks can’t afford to be here, and the ones that got daddy’s ol bootlegging money are too afraid of blue haired baristas
I feel like this comment is just proving his point. Anything that paints our situation as an us versus them is just perpetuating any kind of black and white thinking.
San Antonio is so cool, arguably my favorite city I’ve visited in the country. Doesn’t hurt to have some of the best Mexican food in the States
My sister in law and her family moved to San Antonio about a year ago and I’ve visited twice so far. It’s a really cool city.
They got some big ol women down there.
San Antonio is one of the greatest cities in the country.
I don’t like it when they go to the parking lot when there’s a Haliburton-slim chance that they miraculously comeback down 15 or more
Expand on that some lol what do you mean “against all odds … in Texas”
It’s not even good acting. That’s what’s so frustrating about it.
Fits perfectly. The Oscar judges don’t even watch the films anyway.
Apparently they didn’t have to until last year
Emilia Pérez ass performance
*Penis to vagina*🎶🎶
You think they should’ve brought a Razzie instead?
The refs love it though
Spurs really have the best fans in the league
Shoutout to those two sets of hangers constantly behind the spurs coach too.

Damn, so THAT’S what Chuck meant.
If you listen, you can hear the mob of Knicks fans coming for you lol
Damn, it’s a close one between those two. As a guy who grew up watching more European basketball those two fanbases always were the closest to what you see in Europe imo
Read on Twitter that New York has celebrities but San Antonio has characters lmao
100%. Nice to see a fanbase who has faced nothing but adversity over the past few decades show out for their team
We try to persist despite the hardship. It’s been nearly a dozen years since our last championship. My 9 year old doesn’t even remember our last playoff appearance!
I hated having to go into SA during those Heatles days
I don’t really hate Shai that much, but that extremely loud “FLOPPER” chant makes me giggle every time because of how coordinated it’s been at its best.
Good. Name and shame this bum.
I haven’t lived in San Antonio for a few years. But, I’ll tll you something as a fact.
That city hates SGA.
We are all San Antonio
I’m a Suns fan that came online during Nash and SSOL, and I’m rooting for the Spurs right now…until the Finals, especially if the New York Mikal Bridges make it.
I live in Arizona now and the 180 on the attitude for the Spurs this series is hilarious
His game is so hateable
The videos showing him flopping on every shot has made me just hate him
OKC probably the most hated team in sports history
Not even close lol
name all 60 teams worst than them
The Eagles 60 times
this guy gets it
ny yankees, la dodgers, alabama kkkrimson tide, basically all philly area teams, etc
Weird it seems way and there was some competition even just in the NBA.
1 Lebron James Heattles 2 KD hardest road warriors 3 Piston bad boys
Those teams you listed are so hate-able but at least they’re fun to watch.
I fucking despise the KD Warriors but let’s be honest here, their sheer talent was at least entertaining.
This year’s OKC is simply a disgrace to the sport.
I think that’s the difference maker. Most of the most hated teams were insanely good teams and great to watch. I’m a Miami fan so I’m contractually obligated to hate the Celtics, but man, they’re a really good team. This OKC shit though is just weak and sad. Depressing, disgraceful basketball.
So was last year’s OKC team.
Yankees, Cowboys, Yankees, Patriots, Lakers, Yankees etc.
Okay take a deep breath, this is obviously not even close to true if you’ve been watching any sports for more than 5 years lmao
I think a lot of the hate is just manufactured because they’re a really good team that has tons of depth and they know how to get foul calls through flopping better than anyone else.
Outside of that, they’re a small market team located in the middle of nowhere (O.K., they’re kind of close to Dallas), none of their players are known for being shitty people, and prior to last year, the Thunder had a mostly disappointing history. Yes, I know they used to be the Supersonics and people are still mad about that situation which I don’t blame them but why shit on the players, coaches and fanbase for that?
Point being, I can think of other teams that are actually worth hating like the bad boy Pistons of the late 80’s or the Lakers and Celtics. Also, cities like L.A., Boston, New York, hell even Denver have way more pro sports teams to fall back on. For OKC, this is it.
I’m sure at some point, the Spurs will dominate the NBA because of the very high ceiling of talent they have plus the winning culture and history and everyone will start hating them.
Also, fuck the Lakers.
and they know how to get foul calls through flopping better than anyone else.
so it’s not manufactured at all?
none of their players are known for being shitty people
Lu Dort is actively trying to hurt people. Caruso used his shoe for a block attempt, and SGA is an undeserving MVP and flopping machine.
Those are shitty people as evidenced on the court. The image they create outside of the court is none of my business.
OKC is an insult to the sport of basketball.
So somehow, you don’t think other teams flop? Why don’t you be mad at them as well? If you don’t believe they do, then you’re being disingenuous.
Let me define the parameters of. What I mean by shitty people for you:
Shitty as in driving 120 mph on the freeway only to get into an accident and endanger everyone else around you. Or in a residential area while drunk and hitting some woman and dog in their car killing them instantly.
Shitty as in pressuring female masseuses into giving you happy ending hand jobs or other similar things
Shitty as in pointing guns at people or getting into fights with teenagers after pick up games.
Also, Bill Laimbeer was a far bigger asshole on the court than any of these OKC players.
So no, your outrage is not legitimate enough for all the impotent rage generated.
Because no one does it as systematically as OKC. SGA falls more than any other player before him, incl. notorious floppers like Harden in his prime, while Dort is allowed to play Bongos on every opponent’s arms. Hartenstein can even pull Wemby’s hair, and get away with it.
It’s just a terrible style of basketball to watch.
You are allowed to care for NBA players’ actions outside of the court, I don’t.
If that’s the way you feel, than stay mad. I choose not to be in this instance.
If that’s the way you feel, then. Cheers
This is dumb, it’s not even true of just the NBA. Obviously the bad boy Pistons first, cmon now. If you don’t have them as the most hated you don’t know ball at all.
‘03 Pistons maybe next, followed by the ‘01 or ‘02 Nets. Then maybe OKC but probably not - most people respect a team that just wins. Anyone who says OKC are bad to watch can have their opinion discarded immediately because they obviously didn’t watch them play and just watched reddit highlights and comments from people crying about the same 4 flops over and over and over again.
People didn’t hate the KD Warriors they just won a lot. It’s like saying the Jordan Bulls were one of the most hated - it’s obviously not true even though a lot of teams didn’t like playing them because they were so hard to beat.
You wanna talk about all sports and you haven’t even mentioned the Oakland Raiders or the ‘70s Philadelphia Flyers
Need a lot more than that one
Shite Egregious Flopexander
OKClown Trophy 😂
Okay that’s funny as fuck
SGA > Kobe. Kobe has to leave the NBA to win an Oscar. Jordan and LeBron aren’t even in the conversation.
Games not gone
When they bring out the t-shirt cannon at Game 6, some traveling Thunder fans should start tossing these around
A reminder of the only reason that city isn’t watching another half decade of 30-win basketball
Well that and a competent front office
No, it’s just that part
So you’re going to just ignore all the deep draft diamonds and player development, huh?
You’re welcome for Kawhi btw.
With the Oscar in the bag, that would leave just the All-Star MVP to complete the LMFAO.
Then San Antonio women are hot
STOP GIVING THE THUNDER FLOPPER TROPHIES
This is great! The trolling itself and the taking advantage of the courtside seats. Other rich as f$ck team fans, take notes.
You can swear on the internet sweetheart
And the nominees for best actor are…
Great idea! I’ll bring one too when I watch Argentina FC matches this coming World Cup.
Technically, he should be awarded an Emmy, and it’d be really funny if the statue was holding a basketball instead of a globe.
To be fair to Flipper, he didn’t try to get her kicked out.
Neville Longbottom lost a lot of weight.
I need Dillon Brooks to do this
He’s the Neymar of the NBA.
Should of been a golden raspberry award
There was also the white balding guy sitting close to Reggie that would stand up, point, and repeatedly scream “Your holding” anytime a Thunder player was holding on defense.
Spurs fandom is full of such life. Compared to OKC which has always looked like one big mass of sameness.
Barkley was right that flopping has been in the game to some extent for the last few decades, but Shai takes it to egregious levels. Most of the time he’s throwing himself off balance as part of the shot or running directly into guys and falling, his entire offensive game is built around the flop. In the game last night it was like he didn’t know what to do once he wasn’t getting his usual flop calls. Same reason I never respected Harden’s game, it’s one thing to use the little “vet tricks” everyone does, it’s another to build your game around it, it’s not entertaining to watch and it’s not a brand of basketball that would work in literally any other setting. Go try that shit in FIBA, Embiid tried it a couple times last Olympics and looked like a total fool.
I get that it’s a meme, but if you look at statistics SGA doesn’t shoot more freethrows than the average NBA player lol
Are we sure she’s a Spurs fan? I was lead to believe they were all big ole women down there?
this shit corny af
Ok this feels racist lol
They have become the Gsw of this decade. People outside of their fan base can’t stand them.
Haters gonna hate
These should start with.. “this rich motherfucker sitting court side”. But I’m rich, so idk if I’m allowed to say that. Ok gonna go-to my OP account now, you all keep at it!
Was it a big ole woman.
Damnnnnn that’s one big ole woman right there in San Antonio. Bitch def preordered two dozen street tacos from the taco truck outside the stadium
Cool another trophy to add to his already stacked list 👀
Do you think he saves money from buying shelves by keeping his trophies on the floor since he spends so much time on it?
Dammmmmmmn
You mean a *rich* Spurs fan, those seats were $12k+
What does that have to do with anything
Well, this wouldn’t even be a post if it hadn’t been seen, so it actually has everything to do with it lol. If I had brought one, for example, he never would’ve seen it. So yeah…she got lucky!
You stoned?
He isn’t stoned, he’s 16 and just about to graduate the 5th grade in Oklahoma. Cut him some slack
A fan is a fan, regardless of socioeconomic status.
Honestly for the first time ever it makes it more impressive. Its impressive that one of the rich folk has this much heart lol
I agree!
Ok?
Tthat’s why she cheaped out on the trophy.
Maybe she crowdfunded the ticket, just for the zing on flopeous-alexander. A lot of patrons, I bet.
