Mason Plumlee after trucking Jared McCain in the back, “I got another one for you too.”
“Wemby sends his regards”
“I want him to know it was me”
This calls for a tik tok dance off. Plumbee, you’ve just been served…
Watch it be like You Got Served. The white guys end up being secretly incredible dancers and win the competition by stealing your own dance moves.
The clip cut it out but McCain went on for 5 minutes abiut how ethical the elbow in the back was.
Are you saying that he enjoyed taking it from the back?
some like getting a lil dirty
He’s just a lil freaky sometimes
How about a lil nasty?
Wemby did whisper something to him and Biyombo as he left the court lmao
Can’t wait to hear Dort’s thoughts
You can find them at: www.dortthoughts.gov.www\dortthoughts
It’s just a word file
Last game, he asked me how to set up a blog. Wanting to protect the world from being exposed to his brain, I opened up a Word document on his computer and put an address at the top. I’ve read some of it. Even for the Internet, it’s… pretty shocking
Not converting to Pdf the ultimate flagrant foul
Dort bout to retaliate on the other team’s baby faced player otherwise known as Carter Bryant
I hated him at Duke, but ever since he’s been in the NBA I’ve realized he’s actually chill as fuck
Edit: I realized Plumlee also went to Duke, so to be clear, this is referring to McCain lol
Glad you edited because Plumlee is basically synonymous with Duke at this point. All 3 went there
I assumed Plumlee until I read the edit
I know there are technically 3 of them but I refuse to distinguish between them.
I’ll do you one better, I refuse to distinguish between the Plumlees and the Zellers
Their hype tapes coming outta high-school were insane. Can’t believe none of them won a dunk contest
most of OKC is like that tbh. People just judge them way too emotionally because of their actions on the floor, its why 90% of OKC discourse is just ad hominems and buzzwords without any meaningful discussion
People just judge them way too emotionally because of their actions on the floor
Their actions on the floor are kinda important though lol
Nah this is r/nba we here for box scores and drama
Brother what does Jared McCain do on the floor that annoys people? He’s getting two hits put on to him by Spurs bigs, possibly because of Wemby, he’s smiling about it after the game, and somehow him and OKC are still the villains.
Imagine what the discourse would be if SGA whispered something to Hartenstein and some other butcher and they’re trucking Harper or Castle twice in a minute whilst the game is already over.
That was a blanket statement, not specifically for Jared
The only thing I could think of watching the game last night is they were frustrated that McCain was the one busting their asses and killing their momentum.
Nothing, I wasn’t saying he annoys people. I was just pointing out that it’s a little silly to act like players’ actions on the floor are somehow not something we should use to judge them.
Brother, can you not comprehend what you read? Lol
Immediately defensive is crazy
I’m a huge McCain fan but that one play where he elbowed the defender then backed into him to draw a cheap foul was kinda lame
How could you judge a basketball player based on something like that
So people judge the basketball players by the way they play basketball, makes sense
What are we supposed to judge basketball players on if not their behavior while on the court?
No see, they’re chill off the court so it’s all good.
I have a dream that my basketball team will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by their behavior while on the court but by the chillness of their media sessions.
Miles Bridges nods in agreement
Karl Malone concurs
Oh no, people judging others based on their actions! The travesty
Actions speak louder than Reddit comment threads. This shit is stoopid
Judging basketball players playing basketball in a basketball sub. How dare we!?
Ad homenim is the MO of the entire internet lol
Have some shame Bucks flair but only posts in Thunder subreddit
God forbid a man be a fan of two basketball teams lol, also what about this comment warranted a look at my profile? Kinda proving my point here
I mean yeah, you should have some shame. Why stop at 2? Why not root for all teams so you always come out on top?
Horrible take
I don’t see how you hated him while at Duke other than just being at Duke. He was so inoffensive his entire time.
This is hilarious with out the edit lol
yeah, of all the assholes on the Thunder they went after the one okay dude lol
I think Jared might be the most well-adjusted athlete I’ve ever seen. Seriously.
He had a whole article about how he’s seen a sport psychologist since college. Not cause he was having issues, just cause it’s good for you. He’s our true zoomer.
I learned during the game the reason he started painting his nails was so he would stop biting them, then it became a thing - which he is known for, and has a brand deal or two for.
Not mad at it
Would donate decent money to a good cause to see Wemby play a game with fake lashes.
Same reason my wife get her nails done. She bites the fuck out of them if she doesn’t lol.
Jared McCain: advocate for mental health
I’m sorry for calling you punchable Jared :(
Jared McCain forgives you and understands you didn’t mean it personally. He wouldn’t want you to beat yourself up about it and is a huge supporter of you and your journey.
100% unironically this
Thunder fans, treat this boy well. A gift from us if you will. Like how Japan gifted DC sakura trees, you got Jared McCain.
We already love him as our own 🥹
Wasn’t a gift. More like the babe Ruth trade or France selling Louisiana. Trader hoping to get cash and then realizes when the recipient actually does something with it instead of cash considerations.
Hey, it wasn’t a gift! You got back … well, I don’t remember but you got something back for him.
He’s already a fan favorite and we treat our fan favorites well. Hell we retired Nick Collison’s number 😂
we love him!
How could you ever hit this guy, it’s like hitting a puppy lol
Puppies turn into dawgs unfortunately
got that dawg in him
Big paws on a puppy
Such a simple sentence but straight bars
Bars
The puppy-like kids in middle school/high school were the most vulnerable to bullying
plumlee’s the only one to get pissed off at a guy who saved him from injury btw
Yeah he really hates Steven Adams
he is such a loser
Former Thunder legend Mason Plumlee
OK, so I read your comment and had to look it up because the way I read it, it sounded like Mason Plumlee got pissed at Steven Adams in the same game where Adams saved him from a dangerous fall. But that’s not what happened. Adams helped prevent Plumlee from a hard fall four years ago, while the Adams-Plumlee fight happened about a year ago.
Look, I get it, what Adams did was a really nice gesture and probably helped Plumlee avoid a serious injury. But that was four years ago. Things change. It’s the NBA, emotions run high, and Adams plays hard. I saw the clip of the Adams-Plumlee altercation, and I can understand why Plumlee got pissed with the way Adams was yanking on his shoulder.
So I’m not really sure why you’re insinuating that just because Adams once helped him, Plumlee can never get angry at him again. They’re completely separate situations, and life moves on.
Your average redditor doesnt understand nuance or context.
McCain’s laughing it off bc he’s a saint, but that’s a bush league comment following a bush league action. Like what the hell? Is Plumlee’s team telling him to do this or what? What’s going on here? I hope they don’t do it again to Jared bc he’s such a nice dude; and if they do, hopefully his guys have his back again.
It’s why as soon as guys like Plumlee and Biyombo come on you gotta pull your starters, they have 12 fouls and 0 fucks to give between them. Not worth the risk
I’m hating this biyombo stuff. Biz did nothing. Olynyk is who you should be afraid of. Biz just made a block, that was actually pretty clean, but McCain hit the ground.
Biyambo’s foul wasn’t terrible. He went for the block and yes it was hard foul. But Plumlee’s foul was egregious and it definitely was warranted for a flagrant foul
Think it’s one of those situations where vets don’t like being shown up when the game is already decided or they think they’re sending a message. Regardless such a lame thing to do and even more lame is Plumlee/Biyombo’s response because you know McCain was probably laughing at the line trying to the bigger dude and let it go.
McCains career is already more impactful than Biyombo and Plumlee combined
You’re getting a few years ahead of yourself there
Biyombo is legit the post-merger record holder for rebounds in a playoff game, I agree with you he had a solid career
Don’t wanna be that guy but if the teams were switched here people would be calling for suspensions
What would suspending plumlee do? Fine him. That would actually affect him.
This thread is 433 comments from 400 Thunder fans, you’re in a safe space.
It’s obviously an ordered hit. Plumlee not smart enough to think of anything on his own.
Yeah that shit was just cruel.
McCain seems like a genuinely nice guy too and his reaction just makes Plumlee and Biyombo look like pricks.
love mccain, plumlee sucks, but the biyombo play wasn’t malicious imo
Yeah i agree with you there, biyombo didnt do anything out of the ordinary
Biambo was on the thunder when we lost to the mavs 2 years ago
Bro has been everywhere
I was watching Biyombo closely after the Wemby Whisper because I was dubious of a 3 center lineup. Biyombo had multiple opportunities to lay some wood on OKC players and just played clean basketball. Multiple box outs and screens which were regular basketball plays.
Plumlee tho was looking to hurt someone.
Biz is a genuine good guy who does a lot of community development in Africa. He’s nobody’s executioner.
Plumlee never had ethics - he went to Duke which is Satan’s finishing school. Other notable alumni include Stephen Miller, Richard Nixon, and Rand Paul.
Barely even a foul
Hes a pro athlete dont get me wrong but hes essentially a kid out there to some of these dudes. Im a spurs fan but this whole game left a sour taste in my mouth
Don’t insult Bismack
Biyombo was totally fine.
Nah Biz didn’t do anything malicious. Plumlee on the other hand can fuck off.
True but also game’s back
Plumlee is a huge POS. Adams saved him from a potential broken neck and career ending injury, then last season he tackles Adams and tries to punch him. Dude is a certified bum, hope this is the last season we have to see of him
Duke player
But then so is McCain.
McCains a dick. Voted for Iraq war too
Am I supposed to look at this and act like the Spurs are ethical?
We literally just saw Wemby nearly take Reid’s neck off in the previous round. But suddenly people wanna frame this as ethical/pure hoops team vs flopping/dirty team.
As a neutral I don’t give two fucks about either of these teams, but let’s stop pretending one side is morally above the other. They literally did this shit to McCain of all players too.
This is basically a dirty team vs a dirty team. Or just a contest of who can get away with more stuff.
And anybody who actually watched regular season games already knows certain teams were allowed to play with way more physicality than everyone else. Spurs, OKC, Pistons and Magic were probably at the top of that list.
“Who can get away with more stuff”
Welcome to basketball or sports for that matter
Or the United States for that matter
Wemby was wronged in the wolves series though. Don’t you know he got his revenge?
The media framing the next game as a return revenge game after he purposefully elbowed Naz Reid in the neck is actually absurd
his poor elbow!
Yeah that was the moment that I stopped pulling for the Spurs. Just an obvious suspension for every other player in the league but they are trying to expand into Europe so they NEED this Spurs dynasty. I’d be worried about Scott Foster Game 7 if I were a Thunder fan.
[removed]
Maybe during this series but definitely the fuck not if we’re counting the regular season/the past few seasons
What do you mean? Wemby went on a 20 minute rant about how ethical he is of course they’re ethical!
McCain has to be one of the most likeable players in the league right
There’s a group of people who very passionately hate him, but they make it painfully obvious it comes from a place of deep insecurity lol its strange
The NBA manosphere thinks he’s gay because of the nails and dancing.
I guess…even he was…so what lmfao
There was a Spur fan saying some real nasty derogatory shit last night in the live thread. It kept getting deleted by mods but that guy should be banned. I took a screenshot of one of the comments. Gross AF.
He has fun tiktoks which fans seem to love and enjoy watching as well.
If it were literally anyone else who was in the game at the time I would understand it. But you’re really going out to “send a message” on the last guy we got who can dribble the damn ball when SGA is out?
When Dub and Mitchell are already out? That’s how you wanna win?
Will be interesting to see if Coach Daigneault subs in a Dort, Kenny Hustle, JWill, Hartenstein, Caruso lineup for a quick couple of “return to sender” minutes.
that would be such a cool rotation to run at the end of a quarter lol would not work offensively i don’t think
Only really usable for short bursts to “send a message” back.
Damn yall have a whole starting lineups worth of boxers on defense
I wanna see the full linebacker lineup enter the game just once
If Plumlee did that to Kenny Hustle, Kenny would for sure be fired up.
Spurs showing their true colors.
Rooted for the Spurs and this is sad to see. Fair game is more important than anything.
I mean yeah that’s pretty bad
That was very weird of plumlee I knew exactly what is was when he got in
If Wemby hadn’t skipped media availability, I would have liked to see someone ask him what he whispered to the centers as they entered the game. Could be unrelated, but that’s why we have media availability.
Im sure Wemby would have answered “I told Plumlee to go fuck up McCain”
But in French, with an evil laugh at the end.
If dort pulled some shit like this, this sub would ask for him to be suspended the next game but it’s plumlee so shit wouldn’t matter anyways lol
Honestly even more of a reason for Adam Silver to suspend him. You can’t have enforcers enter the game in garbage time and try to injure starters who are playing well.
The Spurs are the Thunder with better PR.
Plumlee is a sore loser. Good to see McCain just laughing it off. It was garbage time, why you gotta try for dangerous plays.
Mason Bumlee
Lmao dirty spurs players man
A tradition as old as time. From Rodman, to Bowen, to Horry and now Wemby and Plumlee.
Steven Adams should’ve let Plumlee drop all those years ago. So glad we traded for and waived this dude this season.
Asking why he did that is so pure. Love this kid.
Slander on beautiful ethical basketball
Yall stay whining for the spurs but they’re just as dirty as the teams they’ve faced.
Been that way since Bruce Bowen was around. Who BTW was the king of undercutting jump shooters.
But their HC was an air force hardass who lucked into the least controversial player of all time after firing his entire staff and taking over the hc role so its all good
This seems like the appropriate thread to remind everyone it took the Spurs 10 months to waive Josh Primo after he whipped his dick out and showed it to a female team doctor.
Their beloved star player fucking his teammates wife
I think he did it repeatedly too. Spurs waited to see how good he was before making a decision.
Yeah clearly he was only a 4-5 sexual assaults level kind of talent.
McCain has to be the happiest kid on Earth.
Fuck Daryl Morey for sending him to the one place I fucking hate he’s at. It genuinely makes me mad as a huge McCain fan.
fun fact: it was Plumlee who was waived by OKC to make room for McCain :)
Love that he seems unbothered haha, would have been super easy to be salty or angry about such a dirty move.
Take the W and move on
fun fact: Plumlee was the one waived to make room for McCain :)
He took that personally
I’d be more mad at this if I wasn’t so confused why mark left him in the game.
Remember, we saw Wemby give them the orders.
Well everyone is slurping anything he does up so they think he’s such a badass right now
Fan fiction
If the Thunder did this shit they’d be calling for last years title to be revoked
Going after the only guy on the court who doesn’t have a single hateful bone in his body is insane to me. Caruso I would get but McCain???
Right? Like if you’re gonna do this to anyone, it would be Dort, hartenstein, or Caruso. Sure McCain flops but at least he typically isn’t overly aggressive or dirty like those 3. I’m cool with hard fouls as a “if they are gonna call it anyway, imma make sure he misses that’s shit” or “he’s been playing dirty all game and I need to fight back at least once to make him think twice” but this play was just stupid. I loathe the thunder(biased pacers fan) but this would not be the guy to pick on here and I can’t say anything bad about most of your guys off the court either. Corny but that’s not a crime and who cares?
Very dirty play. I’d like to see the thunder copy it next game.
At least one Spurs players admits he is dirty as fuck!
Ethical hoops, folks
This is how we all dream we could react in a situation like this. No sweat off the shoulder, and just laugh it off and smile. McCain is fucking awesome 😎
Spurs are dirty as shit.
At least Plumlee doesn’t fall when he shoots though.
I like the Spurs, and I also like McCain. That was hella dirty. But “I got another one for you too” is fucking hilarious.
Spurs fans cry about flops but encourage blatant dirty plays 😂😂
Fuck bald ass plumlee
Don’t hurt my pookie Spurs
McCain: yo Mason, what about The Brotherhood?
Plumlee: dumbass that was cooked up by a Duke marketing student, I don’t care about you.
Contract out on the nice guy.
My guy Lou gotta come through next game. Their entire lives on the line you know they gonna stand on business.
McCain just is good vibes, incredible mid season move to get him in OKC
Aight, it was dirty, but telling him he has another one for him after McCain politely asks why he did it is kinda funny.
The goon squad was put in to injure or provoke a fight to get suspensions because those stiffs won’t see the floor otherwise. Trash ass organization from pop on down.
Weird stuff
Social media double standard in full effect. Wemby sends out a hit, ‘aw so cute’. Can’t imagine the vitriol of this situation was reversed, but I can’t imagine rooting for a player who would do this kind of thing
Looking forward to the analytical breakdown of all plays throughout the season and playoffs of players who intentionally tried to injure an opponent by Kirk Goldsberry.
His personality is pretty similar to haliburton’s.
Oh so he’s an asshole
I don’t know if you have the right to be talking like that when the only reason you’re in the game at all is because your team is down 15 with two minutes to play
Yo send this shit to the league wtf Mason actually tried to hurt McCain
What exactly did Jared do?
Plumdog you are a dick for this
Did Wemby deadass tell them to start headhunting? I thought people were kidding, but this is crazy
I hate all of OKC except for McCain. Plumlee buddy there are other players you could’ve targeted 😭
Hit the wrong OKC guard
McCain is the only Duke player that I’ll tolerate.
I think the Wemby sent them narrative is super dumb but like why Jared Plumlee? He’s one of the nicest guys in the league!
I still can’t get over how the 76ers gave this guy away for nothing
The Brotherhood 😂
Wemby said “You know what to do, especially on McCain”
plumlee such a bitch
………..what
the NBA is so gossipy and cringey now. I feel my fandom fading
Lighting McCain baby
