[Highlight] Luke Kornet races back for the big chasedown block for San Antonio.
#OH BLOCKED BY KORNET!!!
#HALLELLUAH!!!
Completely killed all momentum the thunder had. Incredible.
I literally screamed out loud “ Kornet just did some Bron shit!!”
Kornet better than Bron confirmed
LeKorn
LukeKorn James
ARE YOU REAAADDDYYYY???
play of the night for the Spurs, Thunder were coming back with Wemby on the bench, that killed their momentum and helped the Spurs keep the game at 6+ the rest of the way
ngl that shit was hype, made even more remarkable because he usually looks so lumbering out there, bro turned it on for a moment haha
LUKE KORNET WITH THE REJECTION
mark jackson: wow
OH. MY. GOODNESS.
Jeff Van Gundy:they need to get into their sets faster 🤓
[removed]
I really wish they would call that off arm clear out an offensive foul again.
I miss him so much glad he is having success though
He’ll always be a Celtic in my eyes. Great player and a great personality too. He always had me cracking up in his post game interviews.
Definitely got Bron jumping off the couch
Man I just saw Luke Kornet pull off that game 7 chasedown block! 🤯🛑 Bro really went up there and swatted it! I guess the sky really is the limit out there. Happy to pass the crown on that one. 👑😂 #StriveForGreatness #JustAKidFromAkron
Lebron doing the Leo pointing at the TV meme for sure lol
I wanted us to get him but I’m happy he could play a key part in eliminating OKC at least.
We all sacrificed for this moment.
LeUke Kornet
This is a fucking incredible play. Made the block thru Hart’s fend-off.
This happened cuz of the nuns
Take that Jeff Teague!
THE GOATT
#CHOSEN 2
Play of the game and huge swing, OKC go on a run if this happens
Arrives
Channels LeBron James
Returns to bench
All-time work shift from Kornet.
Becomes prime lebron james for approximately a minute, ices out the Thunder.
Generational player.
That’s all you paid for. Send us a max contract for sustained production
“My work is done here.”
he has one of the weirdest post season stats. For 3 post seasons he shot 100% from 3. Each time it was because of 1 shot
Shades of Kevin Love turning into a dpoy candidate by locking down Curry for one possession.
Most important minutes of Kornet’s career, since Wemby’s limited now, and he’s coming up HUGE.
Had a stupidly impactful minute on the court before wembenyama went back in lol
Dude changed the course of Game 7 with a hockey shift
That’s a really good way to put it
Pretty wild, I think he came in at 6:48, got pulled around 5:50 and still had a HUGE impact
Not even a minute, but what a sequence of plays for him.
Did more in a minute that whatever the hell Chet was doing lol
It was more than enough to boost Wemby’s morale before coming back in
Man, forget minutes, this was the most important MOMENT of Kornet’s life.
One time at the Munchie Mart in the Vandy dorms I was hammered drunk and he held the elevator open for me because he saw my hands were full of Smuckers uncrustables for my entire suite. Without him I would’ve just been stuck in the basement and my suitemates would’ve starved. I like to think that that was his most impactful moment.
Edit: like 90 percent sure I had a couple bags of white cheddar popcorn in between my thumb and index finger in both hands but can’t recall exactly.
Edit 2: Just texted my buddy and he tells me that I’m right about the uncrustables but it was two boxes of bagel bites NOT popcorn “because we asked you to get like a half dozen of those little Tony’s personal pizzas but your hands were too fucking tiny I guess so you got some bagel bites which, whatever.” I feel like I did a heroic job getting their cross faded asses any food at all, right? Luke?
Okay so definitely at least the second most important moment of his life
This can’t be pasta, lmao
It is now if it wasn’t before.
Fresh and al dente.
Munchie Mart is really what the little markets are (or at least were) called at Vandy, I was there at the same time. Story checks out.
One time at the Imperator Bath house in the Palisade of Ancient Rome I was hammered drunk and he held the door open for me because he saw my hands were full of Garum for my entire klan. Without him I would’ve just been stuck in the aquaduct and my Patrons would’ve starved. I like to think that that was his most impactful moment.
Alright, that’s a solid bro move there. I’ll give him that one.
His basketball career, for sure. I bet he would put moments with his family over this judging by what we have seen of his values.
isn’t he a champion already?
Seriously, they let Wemby sit for like 1 minute, and goddammit if he didn’t do his job in that 1 minute
Wemby had 5 fouls really needed a strong run when Wemby sat and he delivered.
Cannot be overstated. OKC score that, completely different game
I’m actually surprised they took him out so fast. It was so good for them and they all knew that, that I figured they’d sort of reward the play and give him some more time
Then I told myself “…oh yeah its game 7 and like 5 more mins”
Me too then I saw 5 minutes were left and Wemby was tagged in.
I felt: “Yeah .. Now is the time. IT’S TIME!”
Honestly if wemby tried that n got his 6th, the spurs lose He knew what he had to do with a min of play good shit
Maybe a run of free throws
I would say of the whole series.
Yep. Absolutely the game winning play 100%.
The hand of God intervened. The sisters blessed Luke
Both
Boff
I missed her so much. Least we got some primetime bigguns coming up
An extra half inch of vert by the hand of gawd-uh
Probably why he spoke out against Magic City Night. Wanted to retain his blessings from the San Antonio sisters/nuns.
Kornet is a Paladin IRL, following his oath
Must stay true to his oaths lol.
It was the basketball equivalent of the Battle of Lepanto.
1 min on the floor and swings it +5
Knew what he had to do when he came in. Just like how he knew most of the questions on the ACT to score a 34
heyi. you whAT
Mf has a BS in Computer Science from Vanderbilt, basketball is his side hustle
Damn that’s fucking nuts lol. Hell yeah Kornett you talented son of a bitch.
His Claude code is prolly running while he’s playing
Vibeballing
thats all you need from your backup c
hold the line and wemby / castle/ fox can carry you home
Literally all series, Kornet comes on and OKC rallies hard. Tonight, when it mattered most, he flipped the script. Definitely the moment that demoralized OKC. Spurs were in full form tonight.
That might be one of the greatest plays by a role player in playoff history
It’s either that or a Robert Horry 3
Rebound Bosh, back out to Allen, his three pointer…. BANG.
I thought of that one too but it’s hard for me to label Ray Allen a role player, even though he probably was at that point. He was the man on the Bucks, Sonics and Celtics
He obviously was a role player for the heat
It’s hard to equate him with kornet even then. Allen averaged 27 minutes in that series and had 41 min in that game. Kornet is averaging 10 min
He was a 10x all star and hall of famer. Allen had plenty of massive moments in his career.
Kornets gonna get a mural of that block in his house, and make his grandkids tell all their friends about it
That was epic, but Bosh was no simple role player on the heat, or Allen
Is Kornet even a role player? Are all bench players role players
Yes he is a role player.
His role is to block that shit.
That block was, in fact, his role
Yes lol what else would he be
Luke Kornet is a superstar, thank you very much
The man invented a new style of contesting shots. Kornet contest is up there with the skyhook
He’s gonna drop 6 points, 4 rebounds and 2 blocks in 13 minutes on your sorry asses in game 6 as we win our 6th NBA title. You will then know that yes he is a role player
two time champion role player Luke Kornet
Nah he’s a superstar
Yes, he’s a role player. His role is to hold shit together while Wemby gets a rest. This is an example of how great he is in that role.
Naaa John Paxson owns that.
KORNET KONTEST
I was expecting him to be a liability when he got in there for Wemby but he pretty much put the game away.
Did a great job closing out on SGA
KILLER KORNET KONTEST
actually no we probably shouldn’t go with that…
You just got KORNHOLED
That’s the game right there. Incredible from Kornet
Yeah just a crusher for OKC. Spurs went from being ahead by 4 to being ahead by 8 in quick fashion.
He did something I really ONLY have ever seen Wemby do, which is put his head fully down for a sprint as a big man on defense
I’ve seen Wemby do it like, 10x this series, and I have to imagine it rubbed off on his vet, which is such a beautiful thing
White on white crime
Ihart is mixed
Seriously?
His dad is black
That’s pretty insane ngl
Check the reaction video where he discusses it with PG, funny clip.
There’s another funny one on the Roommates pod where Jalen & Josh discuss it too.
Yes, his mom is white (American), his dad is half Black (African American) and half German. His paternal grandfather is probably then German
Even worse
Bright* on White
Ihart is black
I Hart is white. We gotta stop operating on this one drop rule like its Jim Crow era.
His dad is black though. His dad has Jalen Brunson’s complexion.
LMFOA
I mean he’s biracial. If I had one black grandparent I’d consider myself biracial.
ya, no one refers to obama as white and hes half white
Couldn’t agree more. This is so fucking dumb.
Let’s be real though: finding out this is his dad was quite a shock.
Brightskinned*
Luke Kornet is black
Hartenstein’s mixed, believe it or not
Matt Bonner walked so Luke Kornet could run.
LOL…Matt Bonner reference!
The bassist from Spuran Spuran?
No, the dude who does the sandwich vlog.

Kornet got possessed by Lebron for a second there
Lebron has been possessed by kornet his whole career
It was unpopular at the time but Max kellerman always said kornet was better than bron
LeBron was a just quoted as saying he channeled Kornet in 2016
Salesian Sister blessed Kornet vs Prime bloodlusted Lebron anime fight? Who wins
I absolutely love how as a nation we are alllll rooting for the spurs lol.
Finally we are unified again
Nothing unites people more than a common enemy.
America versus Al Shaida
Why was I so anxious with 4 minutes left?
Luke “LeBron James” Kornet
LeBronet
Le-uke Kornet
My boy!
This must be how Spurs fans felt watching White in that championship run
YESSS
Hope yall can finish off the Knicks and get my boy Luke another ring. He makes the right plays and is just a great person on and off the court. Sad he left but glad he found a good spot. I would have been pissed if yall lost to the Thunder and made me have to decide who I’d rather win over NY and OKC lol
DAMN STRAIGHT
Derrick White taught him well.
KORNET
LEBRON
WILT
ADEBAYO
KOBE
Tell Charles Barkley our women fine as shit
Galveston for OKC! 😀
Chased down and blocked by Luke Kornet 🥀
Picked a hell of a time for the play of his life
Is this what Spurs fans felt watching Derrick White in our run? If so, I’m fucking loving it
This is championship pedigree in action!
Definitely. We will cheer for the Buffalo til he hangs it up!
Great parallel
Hartenstein confirmed a stripper because he just got BLOCKED BY KORNET
Deadass top 10 block ever
Sent us to the finals. Everyone was hoping for a close game with a defining big time play. We got what we wanted and this was it.
Top 3 LeBron Prince Kornet
This is why vets matter especially for young teams
Found Reggie’s alt lol
Blocked by James Kornet
Honestly, this is one of those plays where as soon as it happens, you know the team that did it will win the game. Up there with the Game 1 Wemby 30 footer and the Game 7 Rudy Gobert fadeaway in the semis 2 years ago against the Nuggets.
Nothing but Kornet
Love it - no OKC in the finals, no more SGA falls and smug faces. Good for a change.
I am looking forward to hear the response from the fair weather OKC analysts (secret fans).
The real MVP is going to the finals.
Huge play. Can’t be overstated
Spiritual successor to the Gobert Fadeaway, it’s over for OKC
Lmao I never would’ve thought in a million years Kornet would have the play of the game
Fuck Magic City
LUUUUKE I WILL ALWAYS LUV U
When someone mentions the name “Luke Kornet” somewhere in 20 years, this is what people will immediately think of. It’s an all-time play.
Luke Kornet is a beautiful man.
Hartenstein completely sold any chance OKC had of a comeback with this and the butterfingers the next play
LeLuke
LETS GOOOOO LUKE
Kornet was watching Jeff Teague
I miss Luke Kornet every single day 🥲
MVP! MVP!
Play of the game!
CHECKS IN
GAME CHANGING BLOCK
CHECKS OUT
LUKE FUCKING KORNET
Bro what the fuck
Play of the game
“BLOCKED BY JAMES!!!” Flashbacks. Chills. Instantly reminded me of Giannis block too
This made up for every shitty Luke Kornet minute in this series
Overheard in Thunder locker room after Game 7: “He got me,” Hartenstein said of Kornet’s block on him. “That f***ing Kornet boomed me.” Hartenstein added, “He’s so good,” repeating it four times. He then said he wanted to add Kornet to the list of players he works out with this summer.
