[Lowlight] Wemby shoves Jalen Brunson, then laughs as he doesn’t retaliate
Wemby villain arc already damn
Started his Villain arc vs the Timberwolves IMO
Plays Ethical Basketball tho
Exactly. Ppl pretend like that deliberate elbow against Reed didn’t happen. Mfer saw him in the corner of his eye and threw a haymaker elbow at his face and got ejected for it.
I remember. No penalty is a crime as well. Fine Silver for not suspending him or fining him.
If he embraced his villain arc he might be even more liked tbh
The problem was painting himself as the good guy playing ethical ball. If you remove all that and become a KG like psycho competitor, we’ll all eat it up and say he’s so tough as the face of the league
He’s been like this y’all just needed to see okc go down before catching up
This dude elbowed someone in the head and they treated him like a hero.
Never seen any golden boy shit like this guy.
Yeah, he looked back to make sure he lined it up properly.
I don’t see a problem.
Safety first, make sure you are going to land it.
Rest of the leagues fanbases were in a fog for 2 whole weeks. Shit was so dumb.
That is insane lol. They have to give him a tech after this game.
They didn’t for the Jose neck grab so I doubt it
League cannot have any bad PR against their precious Wemby.
What about their prioir wemby?
Where is Draymond Green kicking him in the dick when you need him.
They didn’t even fine him for the elbow
Dawg they didn’t even fine him for AGGRESSIVELY elbowing NAZ in the god damn jaw.
Dude threw a backspinning elbow and was celebrated. He’s not going to get shit.
Been dirty. Will always be dirty.
Celebrated? It was worse than that. Somehow he became the victim in the whole thing.
It was his “revenge game”. I mean it was Reggie Miller who said it, so no pun intended.
Agreed. It was weird how the focus was on Wemby “overcoming” his “mistake” lol
I wish I can elbow people at my workplace and then get my redemption arc sadly I don’t have main character energy
Man you think Silver has the balls to hand down a punishment to a superstar? What would the billionaires say?!
They called it Wemby’s revenge when he came back and won the next game. They were never going to fine Wemby. Friendly reminder that the Spurs have had the largest FT disparity of all time in these playoffs. Weird how I’ve never seen it broadcasted.
It’s called Ethical Basketball. You wouldn’t get it.
Also I’m sure the Spurs fans will explain to us that actually Brunson deserved this.
It’s not just Spurs fans. How often do you come to r/NBA? Half the people here have shrines to Wembanyama in their bedrooms they’re so in love with him.
One of those plays where it looks bad no matter what speed you watch it
How the hell do you miss that? That’s two games in a row.
Dude is lowkey dirty as fuck. This sub ignoring it because he’s the golden boy is actually insane. Years from now when they turn on him they’re going to say the signs were there lol
It was lowkey 2 rounds ago, now its very highkey lmao
2 rounds ago he elbowed Naz Reid in the neck, it’s only being low-key to those blinded by bias.
[removed]
UHM actually he didn’t say “kill Jared McCain”, so it wasn’t a hit, it was just a miscommunication.
It wasn’t lowkey two rounds ago lol. That elbow was probably the dirtiest play of the season.
Thunder fans were crucified for pointing this out.
We were getting crucified for existing in here to be fair lol
It was “low key” when he looked back, and smashed Naz Reid in the face? That was the day he showed he doesn’t live up to this image. What he really is, is someone who will probably do anything to win. Anything.
It’s highkey lmao. He doesn’t even try and hide it, shit is disgusting. League just wants him to be the next superstar so his PR is elite. Regardless of outcome I will walk away hating Wemby for his entire career.
It was crazy how he returned from an ejection for elbowing a guy in the neck, but they presented it like it was a big emotional comeback where he was the victim.
Highkey dirty as fuck
its not even remotely low key anymore. Elbowed harenstein in the face on purpose in game 7 okc. He’s put the league in an uncomfortable position. All the retired players have been talking shit about how the game was better when it was “more physical” and people were playing dirty, and now that the game is becoming dirtier they feel like they cant go back on their word or break their broadcasting character. Stupid
Intentionally you might start to believe tbh
Can’t have Wemby getting ejected
At some point, it’s not a conspiracy because it’s just too obvious they want it to happen.
They didn’t miss anything. Spurs are absolutely smoked without Wemby, he won’t get a flagrant or tech.
I still can’t believe Brunson got a flagrant for not even actually getting into the landing zone, and this wasn’t.
Wemby doesn’t have that reputation yet but he should. Most of the time refs makes the call based on the player’s reputation.
He’s done this like every other game now lol
He flops like crazy too, I dont really understand how people view him as likeable lol
Wemby and Castle are so fucking dirty man. they went under the radar all season because they’re the golden boys and upcoming young team but i’m glad people are seeing it for what it is now. bitch hoops.
Silvers child
Call came in to extend the series
This game made over half a billion in ticket prices alone. That’s all there is to it, can’t let this end early
RJ’s reaction is hilarious
Wemby just actually a dirty player at this point… tough stuff
Him getting a hero’s welcome back from media after the ejection against the timberwolves was so fucking cringe. As if he didn’t just elbow a player in the neck.
NBC pretty much said all broadcast every time the camera panned to Wemby or he made a shot it was his “revenge game” like what the fuck is he getting revenge for? The consequences of his own actions? He sure got his revenge against the man he attempted to decapitate using his elbow that’s for sure!
Consequences would be a suspension, so not even
Always has been. He just has elite tier PR by being a spur and being “lovable”
“Look! He’s just a gentle soul that likes drawing and cosplaying as a monk!”
They deadass treat him like a innocent little baby
Anyone who didn’t know that monk stuff was fake cornball shit from the get go needs to be more discerning with what people tell them.
Performative males are secretly assholes so it kinda checks out
darth wemby
Darth Victor
Spurs fans out there desperately searching 30 second earlier so they can “Achtually if you look Wemby was just defending himself…”
Always has been. Just benefitted from an insane hate campaign against the okc thunder and Shai.
He needs to get better at maintaining his composure. He gets frustrated easy
Wemby is so fake with the meditative monk cosplay
maybe this is him contained
All of his shit is performative
My dumbass was looking for RJ Barrett in frame then I remembered he was on the Raptors lol
Okay how the fuck was that not a flagrant
Or a foul at all… wow
He’s the new face of the league you see
That’s flagrant2
Key Criteria for a Flagrant 2 When reviewing replays, officials look for the following specific elements to upgrade a foul from a Flagrant 1 (unnecessary) to a Flagrant 2 (unnecessary and excessive): [1, 2, 3] Severity of Contact: Hard, violent contact with a high risk of injury. Unnatural Actions: Non-basketball plays, such as punching, excessive swinging, kicking, or tripping. Target Zone: Any intentional or reckless contact above the shoulders/to the head. Wind-up and Follow-through: Deliberately winding up to deliver a blow or following through excessively after initial contact.
they didnt call the foul or else they’d have to review it. it was off ball, less people notice it
Yeah that’s a red in soccer that’s dangerous to Brunson’a neck
An ethical player would never commit a flagrant foul.
This is crazy. How was that not called??? Such a gross play by wemby
NBA won’t let them get swept lol
Nor will they allow any prolonged discourse against their precious Wemby
The golden boy can do whatever he wants
Reminder he did something similar to Alvarado last game, with no call
https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/s/7CVn9fwmcC
He’s been doing dirty shit like this all playoffs. Dove at SGA’s knees. People blamed Naz for getting elbowed. Mods been deleting anti Wemby stuff. Disgusting.
Don’t forget the uncalled shoulder pull on dort. He has a bunch of these tantrum plays.
Tantrum plays is the perfect phrase for it. Glad the lights are finally bright enough for people to see
Im genuinely impressed people are waking up to it this quick though lol I guess all it took was not playing us anymore
Refs letting this get way out hand. We barely half way through the first and players already fighting. They were letting Johnson assault KAT in the post
They did that to Okc and nobody cared
All of reddit was cheering this on during the WCF
That’s because it’s worse when SGA does it!!!
(Sarcasm)
SGA didnt grab anyone by the neck, or push their head, or elbow anyone in the neck…
We may have deserved what we got or whatever
but yeah take OKC out of the equation. If the next 10years are Wemby’s dynasty, have fun with that. Better keep the same energy for the Spurs
He does it all the time lmao
Hes a dirty player. Nasty little hobbit
you know why
Wemby constantly dirty af, but the leagues golden boy so they wont do shit.
He didn’t get called for when he did it to Alvarado, so now he knows he can get away with it.
It’s hard to see a 7’5 guy on the court.
No review on that is fucking crazy
They really should be able to review that during the following stoppage to retroactively assess it.
It’s a flagrant one minimum and the guys didn’t want to have to call it so they iced that rule
crazy how he does stuff like this and doesn’t even get called for a common foul
They’ve been doing it all playoffs. Started with our series. Everybody refused to see it until now
“You must be a (blazers/wolves/thunder) fan. The spurs would never play dirty or flop”
I wouldn’t what Naz’s opinion is on this
I actually would love to hear him speak on it. Dude took that hit like a champ. He should talk his shit.
I’ll be honest, I’ll only picked up on it in the Timberwolves series as I didn’t catch any games besides Portland’s win. Gave me hope for the Timberwolves but god damn Wemby is dirty.
They cheered it on in ours
DIRTY ASS PLAYER
Anyone who thinks this is acceptable is nuts. Wemby’s had several dirty plays this playoffs
I got nothing for this man, that was wholly unnecessary. No clue what’s going through his head
Cannot wait for this team to be universally hated all of next season and for years to come
[deleted]
It was funny watching people throw tantrums about OKC, meanwhile Castle and Wemby were taking cheap shots at them all series
Good on Brunson to not retaliate but what a total douchbag response from Wemby
Wemby already has more dirty plays in his first playoff run than all of the top 10 guys combined
Gotta start calling this shit man
As a certain [REDACTED] in the crowd says…Sad!!
Come on man, really refs
Why does Wemby get away with that shit?
Wemby seems to get short guy privilege because he’s skinny.
Should have been suspended at least a game for his elbow based on precedent
Ethical basketball guys.
People hate on Shai for foul baiting but dude never actively hurt others on the court.
This is straight up concerning for a young gun that’s suppose to be the face of the league
He learned it from the most ethical Spur ever >!Bruce Bowen!<
Signing my OKC apology form right now
We’ve been telling you. Everyone’s too busy wanting to draw and quarter our players for actual basketball fouls.
It’s hilarious how we’ve stopped analyzing fall percantages after the Spurs made finals.
I’m not an OKC fan, but the cognitive dissonance on this sub was something else
Ngl, this sub is kinda dead when the Thunder arent playing. Lol
we’ll take it
Your apology form is a sweep
We dont need a form, we need a sweep.
MY CHRISTIAN IS DIOR, KNICKS IN FOUR
Yeah the new dort is here and he’s 7’6
No way bro, he cares so much about winning bro, he trained with monks bro, etc
Ethical Hoops™
He’s so angry
thought this motherfucker was training with buddhist monks
then again
At least it took Dort like 5 years to get the label for being dirty… Wemby did it over the course of 2 months
Which is pretty stupid. Dort is built like a linebacker so he can handle the physicality that he creates. Wemby would snap like a twig
Well, Wemby elbowed Reid in the throat and didn’t even get fined.
Silver’s golden boy
This and the Naz elbow are unironically dirtier than anything dort has done
Delete it again nba you fucking cunts
Lmfao
the 5’11 guy doesnt retaliate against the 8 ft 2 giant
Wemby: “Lmao, no balls”
If Brunson retaliates they would 100 percent call a flagrant on Brunson lol
I wish we still had Ben Wallace in the league for shit like this
Wemby getting that dirty player reputation lmao
Should’ve been a flagrant wow
Dirty player. Tired of him pretending like he’s ethical and all that shit
Spurs fans have always had a “holier than thou” attitude lmao bunch of assholes I tell ya. They even had Bowen and Manu back in the day
The corniest gimmick in sports is how “classy” they all try to make themselves seem
Performative ass team. Popovich telling the crowd to stop booing because “that’s not who we are” was so fucking corny too
Imagine if like someone on OKC or Embiid did this. Dirty ass player with a dirty history and it’s just his first postseason
Thats the funny thing, Spurs fan (well this whole sub) were bitching about OKC, without realising they themselves are just as bad, if not worse lol
Not that far from the torch officially being passed, godspeed Spurs 🫡
Someone needs to check him … just because your tall doesn’t mean you can get away with all that
Unfortunately the refs get to decide if he gets away with it.
We need a very angry Steven Adams
Typically dirty bullshit from the Spurs.
Towns just stiff armed Kornet in the face on the next play lmao
What is going on with Wemby? That is beyond dirty.
This is who he is, dirty af
This is who he is
Yall are just watching him now lmao
Yeah they just didn’t show the replays previous rounds unless they had to. NBC protected him a lot better imo
Mods were removing them too
“He’s so likeable! He’s such a nice guy”
The dude is literally Draymond levels of nasty lmao
Calling him Draymond level is insane. You guys are hysterical.
Well at least Draymond doesn’t pretend to be kind and enlightened.
Wemby is a dirty player
lol no he’s not.
He’s a VERY dirty player.
Dirty fucking fraud
Leagues golden child ab to get folded by huk if he dont stop this shit
Friendly reminder that the Spurs have had the largest FT disparity of all time in these playoffs. Weird how I’ve never seen it broadcasted or posted here
He’s allows two dirty plays a game
ethical basketball
My agenda is rooting against spurs and okc no matter what
This dude is straight up dirty and y’all dont wanna admit it lmao
I get why he’s frustrated by you can’t do that man lol lucky he doesn’t get kicked out
Dirty player.
This dude fucking SUCKS
These people saved basketball apparently
How can he always get away with this? Last game was against Alvarado
Fuck this skinny fucking bitch
Wemby is dirty. Dude has anger issues. Monk school did nothing. He did shit like this throughout the Thunder series. Glad people are waking up.
Wemby is a fucking bitch
Dirty ass player
Violent Wemby at it again
at this point, its a habit and a pattern. wtf is this??
NBAs golden boy is a dirty pos. But he can do no wrong I guess
Fuck him, fuck this league. Also notice kat getting forearmed simultaneously. Ridiculous
This is why not suspending him at least 2 games against the wolves was a mistake.
But guys, it’s okay that he does this once or twice a game. He’s only 22 years old. It isn’t like he’s an actual adult who knows better, he’s literally an underdeveloped child and he’s out there trying his best!
/s
Bet this motherfucker dont even read books
But he’s r/nba’s saint lmao get real
dirtier than the entire OKC starting 5. What a scum!
Spurs are actually doing the things this sub crucified the Thunder for and it’s kinda funny
Am I the only one who doesn’t think this is a big deal? It’s a foul, it’s a hard foul
Physicality is a good thing, I thought
Fuck wemby bitch ass
