[Highlight] Devin Vassell emphatically slams home the dunk as time winds down to give the San Antonio Spurs a Game 7 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder, 111-103. San Antonio advances to the NBA Finals for the first time since 2014.
Love it, pure hater shit
He was the unsung hero of this series frfr
Tonight was his worst game and I still loved him lmao
I’m fueled by that block on chet into yelling “Whats wrong with this feller”
He said that or you?
He kept them in games when OKC were going on runs, only reliable scorer when everyone’s shot not falling, also Champanie being clutch at the 3 in so many games.
Yeah, Vassell felt like their most consistent player throughout the series.
Fox did that a bunch tonight
I think champagnie was. Dude is their most important player who does all the intangibles. Wemby out of position. Champagnie is there to protect the rim. Champagnie for 3s. Champagnie can neutralize everyone on that team defensively. He rebounds and boxes out too.
Champangie and Vassel were both huge this series. Keldon is also really really important imo as a glue guy because he is constantly hyping up the team, and this game he hit a couple really huge shots
I yelled at my scream at how fucking BASED this was to see. After all the BS they went through that was catartic to see as a non fan
overall I loved the hate from the spurs towards OKC, they really dunked and emoted on them every opportunity they got
Spurs should have used their last timeout after the dunk too 🤣
Idc I love when players do shit like this
The crowd booed but I’ve never had a problem with this kind of late game dunk.
It’s kinda lame in regular season but I think players earned a chance to celebrate a bit in the playoffs.
end of game 7 i dont care what the score is do whatever makes you happy (as long as its the team im rooting for)
Nah bro it’s never lame. If the losing team doesn’t want it to happen, then don’t lose.
it’s not even about losing. you just need to actually play until game is over. if you stop playing when the clock is running, you have no right to be mad at a guy for making a shot or dunk. just fucking play.
Exactly my feelings
Celebrate it’s a fuck you to one of the floppiest dirtiest teams ever to exist. Their style of basketball needs to die.
The only thing that’s lame is the team allowing it to happen on their own court.
How I feel too
Nah, never lame. Thinking it’s lame is soft.
Exactly. You’re a young and upcoming team, who just beat the defending champs in the Game 7 of WCF?
Yeah fuck that, put the final nail in the coffin!
The OKC crowd booed? GOOD. Dunk that shit Devin!
Get the tech for hanging on the rim. We all needed it.
To be fair it was only a 6 point game so spurs needed to score to put it away
Thunder being out of timeouts so early was such a nice way to conclude this game, all final minutes should look somewhat like this rather than what a lot of close games become. the last 2 minutes lasting 20+ minutes is a travesty of the modern NBA.
If it was us losing at home instead, I would’ve loved to see a Thunder player do that shit to the Spurs. Cement the rivalry. No niceties. Tell me “fuck you” with your chest.
You have to take this one. It’s sealing the win, not rubbing it in.
It can be both.
It was both
Especially a game 7 WCF like this. If he just did this shit against the pelicans or something I’d say thats kind of necessary.
That was a great aesthetic dunk too damn
Derrick jones jr type shit
Yeah Fuck OKC anyways!
I don’t even know how you can hate it. It was so damned beautiful and against the great evil OKC… Was like stabbing the steak through the vampires heart!
A stake is the right way to kill a vampire, but I love the thought of slapping Chet with a steak and that being enough to put him down.
I think it’s just old heads that hate it
Lol i remember when Booker did this to us in the playoffs
lol guess what the game total over/under was? 213.5
There’s probably 100k folks either absolutely happy or completely pissed because of the meaningless dunk.
This was more of a response to McCain judo throwing him and it only being called a common foul. He was heated to the point Mitch had to sit him.
Loved this. Fuck OKC
My 12⁄25
This is 29 teams 12⁄25
Even 12⁄25 for teams that don’t currently exist
You can bet your ass the Sonics fans loved this.
Until they realize Wemby is only 22 and they gotta play him eventually too lmaooo villain arc is gonna be crazy for Vic
Edit: and to be clear Wemby is the best player in the NBA now officially so it’s gonna come with the territory is what I’m saying
I keep seeing people say this on this sub, and every single time it feels like like a SGA fan coping by trying to convince themselves and others that people only dislike OKC because they won a lot of games
This so much lol
I’m a Wemby fan bud my flair does not make me blind to hating the OKC fouling and flopping lol
All I know is there sure are a lot fewer Thunder flair than there was three hours ago
I mean we gotta play him eventually but the Spurs gotta pay him eventually
Wemby theoretically gets better and his 2nd best player theoretically gets better, but it’s going to be hard to keep this much talent around him
Yeah, there’s some hard decisions. Champagnie make $3 mil this year and next. Next contract he should be making 10x that. Maybe he can offer us a hometown discount if we extend him and give him more money next year. I honestly feel bad he’s making so little compared to what he brings to the team. He’s probably the best value contract in the NBA next to Wemby still being on his rookie deal.
But if we need to let go of some guys, we’ve got Harper ready to go. Bryant looks promising as well. The Spurs have some pick swaps, so hopefully with a little luck, they can find some more guys to keep developing and build around Wemby/Castle and Harper.
Yeah this is why once we won game 1 of this series and it was clear we could hang with OKC, all moral victories flew out the window for me in terms of season outcomes.
Sure, we’re so young and inexperienced, but as you said we may never have this level of depth again, let alone being mostly healthy heading into the finals. No matter how much internal improvement happens for our guys, we see all the time what having a few huge contracts and not much depth can do to a team.
Definitely.
I loved it this time around because OKC, but I know this guy is going to ruin the league.
Nah my warriors are fine in the west (lottery)
This is neutral fans’ 12⁄25 as well.
30 if you count the Sonics
But it feels extra Christmasy for us
Watch it, Mark.
Ohh boy, I will happily sign up for 5-10 years of this rivalry
Chet has left the chat.
Left the court early too lmao
He was on the court? Couldnt tell.
oh he gon be in court soon enough… for fraud
250 millions robbery in a daylight.
Cardio Chet reporting for duty sir
bro bout to walk out of the arena in a flamingo costume or some stupid ass outfit with tears in his eyes
He ain’t built for that shit.
Watching Chet get embarrassed for the next 5-10 years sounds fun. Sign me up.
lanky ass dude deserves all the criticism
Bro needs to put on 30 lbs minimum, there’s no point in having a game based on quickness when you’re still pretty slow for most athletes on the floor and your main rival outweighs you and is taller/faster still lol… might as well bulk up and lean into being a big man like Gobert
his game just needs to evolve to make sense vs Wemby. dont think 30lbs does it for him. he needs to not shy from the 3 and have something besides a spot up 3 and driving dunk.
Can you imagine the shit Rudy would get for putting up those numbers? Sad.
surely the guy is gonna go home and consider throwing up some floaters so he has something vs wemby, bet hes never considered having to shoot over someone in his life, all these players on the court adjusting their shot to shoot over wemby except him.
Imagine calling yourself an NBA player and not knowing how to adjust your shot over a bigger defender, its crazy, i learned that shit when i was 6 years old.
3rd team All NBA.
Too bad the Jazz will run the west. Jk. Idk. A boy can dream.
Id love if the Jazz are good again. I never get to see your guys jerseys rn and Im sick of seeing orange and blue.
Nothing in the NBA is as dominant or lasts as long as you think it will. Well, except LeBron.
“rivalry”
Didn’t even need to dunk it lol man just wanted to put the knife in deeper to those fans
When you’re the only one on that side of the court go have to dunk it. I think it’s a rule or something idk.
But seriously, that’s like a “fuck you and have a nice day” at the end of a rap battle.
and to do it on okc’s court to seal off game 7 was chefs kiss
When you fell the king, it’s only respect to double tap. Gotta be sure.
Fuck unwritten rules. This was a well deserved win for the Spurs and Im not mad they dunked it as a statement
The knife was indeed deeper after that Kornet block, Vassell just twisted it 🤣
suprisingly little reaction to the dunk from the thunder
because they had the entirety of game 6 and game 7 to prevent that kind of celebration dunk on them and they know it
Lost all that dog they kept barking about
Jared Mccain is gonna make a tik tok to show his sadness on the loss
McCain balled all series and was pretty ethical and even took his lumps well. I’m not gonna slander him.
nah he’s flopped and played into the OKC stereotype, i won’t give him his flowers due to his playstyle on the court
He did also judo toss Vassell on one play lol (did get called for the foul though)
Did he not throw someone to the ground this game? Threw his ass on someone and fell for a foul, grabbed an arm during a jump ball. Can’t call him ethical when that’s just what i remember from this series off the top off my head
Generally I like him but the judo throw was not ideal lool
No slander for my boy
Honestly, respect to them for knowing they deserved it. 👍
Fairs to them, this was an intense series. That dunk was emotion, and the Thunder didn’t take it maliciously. Fighting would’ve made em look like bigger bitches
If they fought, that would make them look like sore losers after a series loss, so maybe the coaching staff told them to ignore it
Can you imagine a team doing that? Especially their star player
I totally thought the same thing but you beat me to it
Bucks fans think alike
YO GUYS, check the Thunder SUB lol Everyone’s mad and looking to trade CHET ASAP 😂
No surprise there Chet was straight ASS CHEEKS this series. Now we have to worry about Thunder getting Giannis because then it’s over for everyone.
idiots
Mcdaniels smiled watching that
He is punching a wall in cancun to celebrate.
Joker already on his way to throw hands.
Enjoy Cancun FTA
He don’t even deserve Galveston. He gets a shallow lake
Seattle should throw a parade
I enjoyed this more than the Super Bowl
Ah shit, walked into that one.
I keep seeing Seattle mentioned in the comments but I am totally out of the loop. Why would they be excited?
the man is going to the finals after sticking with the same team through five absolute dookie seasons that’s gotta one of the more cathartic dunks
He had to play with Sochan
Imagine being so down bad at the guard spot you had Jeremy fucking Sochan run point. That was 3 years ago almost, and now Spurs are going to the Finals.
That’s Jeremy Guaranteed NBA champion no matter who wins Sochan for you.
It’s about sending a message
FUCK THE THUNDER I FUCKING LOVE DEV
zero doubt in my mind he was gonna slam that shit
Broke the code /s
He did it for everyone out there hatewatching
What a great day
He should have cranked a windmill
If that was Castle, oh it definitely would have lol.
A nasty one too
One of my favorite dunks of all time
that was a basically a double middle finger while sauntering out, like Tupac. These teams do NOT like each other and I’m all in support of it.
CATHARTIC
Only a couple of players shook hands. No love. Spurs saved basketball. We are back!
Good.
Good thing Joker wasn’t there or he would have picked a fight.
Energizing win for (any team playing against OKC). You really hope to see (any team playing against OKC) have strong showings, especially against opposition like this. Again, it was a good match, and I’ll definitely continue to support (any team playing against OKC) in the future. Fantastic game guys, gg gl next.
Didn’t expect a CS copypasta here.
The boos are so loud after that haha.
Love it, Devin.
FUCK OKC!
Super necessary
Honestly it doesn’t look like a dunk of disrespect. It’s more of a cathartic dunk given all the pressure and how hard this series is.
jokic triggered
Lol he needed that sleep well tonight
I NEEDED THAT. could feel it in my soul
This was incredibly cathartic lmao, such disrespect to a team that truly deserved it. In front of their crowd no less
Way to end with an Exclamation. Love it!
LeFuckYou dunk
The bad man is gone he can’t hurt you anymore
Sploosh
GOOD.
Unethical hoops
/s
my favorite dunk in this post season
Vassell’s just lucky Jokic wasn’t around.
super necessary
I’m surprised they didn’t award 2 free throws to sga for that
Nasty
Good
Natural dunking motion
One last fuck you
<3
WE HAVE BEEN SAVED
Who were they pointing at for Wemby to acknowledge in the crowd?
Joe Flacco blocked the hell outta Hartenstein
Maybe should have ate up some clock first?
That was punched.
Happy doesn’t even begin to describe. Puro San Antonio forever! Go spurs go!!!
Look at wemby bro, hugging 7 teammates with his 2 arms 👽
Vassell was incredible this series.
Hi r/thunder
Imagine it was the sore loser nuggets out there
And none of the players threw a hissy fit about it
As a sonics fan this pleases me.
FUCK OKC
in front of the home crowd too, 10⁄10
No problem with this. He played a great series. Enjoy that dunk.
SGA wants his AP watches and trench coats back.
I’m going to miss Jaylin Williams eye smile 😔 LMAOOOOOO
How rude
about time he made a shot in that second quarter
Hit the over with that dunk
Devin the dude, tell them fans to hit the road baby
Caurso would have done it too
Crime of passion
Over/Under dunk
Shoulda burnt 2-3 more seconds first but fuck yeah lol
No sportsmanship for the OKC CPU
Hahahaha love this!
honestly, good for him.
Harrison barnes is a great vet for wemby.
Jokic seething somewhere out there lol
best fuck you and shut up dunk of the season.
I don’t like either team . I hope the Spurs don’t let the pricks win a game. That would disrespectful to the WC
Where Jokic?
