Fox cut off Wemby’s postgame interview “It’s midnight, man. Let’s go!”
It’s past his bedtime
Mamdani: “No its not”
“I invite you to this important meeting again.”
doesn’t apply to non-NYC residents, sadly
I think Mamdani would make an exception so Wemby could stay up.
Gremlalien
Mandami made those illegal
Wem-bed-yamabegoin now
nice
I heard Castle say that Wemby goes to bed at 9pm
i was losing my shit at the reporter being entirely cut out of the shot all interview, except for the very top of her head occasionally popping into frame. hes so fucking tall 😭😭
Lisa Salters is 5’2, so it’s a double whammy.
Reminds me of Tracy Wolfson’s interviews with players like Zach Edey during March Madness. They literally had to get her a step-ladder.
tons of female reporters stand on boxes when doing reports from the field. Otherwise the background looks bad
Why dont they get her some of those shoes that Iggy Azalea used to wear when she needed to get to work?
Nah, just let Wemby sit the fuck down, he’s already tired he could use the rest!
Sitting down in a squatting position would probably be a good post-game stretching exercise too
She could not get the mic close enough to hear Wemby properly
This was killing me. They couldn’t get her a microphone with a pole or something?
yea, tape a mic onto a selfie stick
They gotta have one lying around from the Bubble
I feel like ironically your physical stature should probably have something to do with your success as an nba sideline reporter
Like it is a bit ironic to put a 5 foot person out there instead of a taller person or former player
For Wemby they straight up need a boom mic lol
I’m not gonna lie, the way Wemby moves around on the court nowadays makes Wemby look like a normal human being on TV. Hes 7’4 he towers over everyone but our eyes, or my eyes at least, thinks this is a regular persons locomotion and not what an extremely tall 7’4 locomotion is.
first ever portrait mode interview, exclusively on youtube shorts
They did her so dirty lmao. Was there no way to reframe that shot or even zoom out?
There is over a 2 ft height difference between them. My 8 year old is closer to my height than she is to his
Just an arm with a microphone was hilarious.
It’s like a movie gag lol expect it’s real
Just the arm poking up makes her look like one of those little kid interviewers.
Okay that’s what is off about this. Its just wemby. Almost centered like an AI video.
He was halfway to the locker room before he got ushered back out for the interview
Am I crazy or did castle come back too 😂😂
Nah same here ! ABC broadcast showed all of them together leaving backstage and I switched to ESPN and Wemby was on the court 😭😭😭
Maybe a radio interview? I’ve seen guys stay back to put on the headset for the radio.
Castle came back out to do Inside the NBA
The media guy had to chase them down to bring them back out lol
Honestly I respect the no blue light early bedtime shit
He’s playing heavy, high usage minutes at 7’5” and that’s only happening because he’s trying to squeeze out every bit of rest and recovery he can.
Don’t think it’s a coincidence that he had his best game after 3 days rest.
games 5 onward is 2 full rest days… Gotta drag this one out.
Didn’t he get 4 days of rest before game 1 though?
Yes, but I am imagine some of that rest was spent dealing with the high of being Western conference champion
he played only 9 games in the rs with over 35 minutes. obviously he’s already passed that number in the postseason alone.
just to put things into perspective, Luka (who played the same number of games) had 43 games with over 35 minutes.
i don’t know how much such a drastic change hurts or benefits him, but it’s certainly been a crucial factor for the Spurs in this run.
I think most of those came before his early season calf strain, then they played scared with his minutes all year after that
You see the way shohei ohtani talks about his sleep too. These top end athletes are religious about sleep, and for good reason
and then you hear about old school athletes staying up all night partying and then dropping 40 in the finals lol
“I rounded up some of the craziest bastards I know and went to my favorite sushi restaurant in Chicago, and started doing Sake Bombers the way a dying man in the desert drinks water. We ended up at Crobar, where they have a bondage rack and men will stand there writhing in pain while voluptuous women pour burning wax onto their nipples, and people in elevated cages dry-hump each other to the beat of ear-splitting techno-house music played by A LESBIAN DEEJAY NAMED PSYCHOBITCH. We went to breakfast at Third Coast, a great place in the Gold Coast district, and when I walked out the door it was light out. I knew I was ready for game 6. Sure enough, we went out and got solid and WON.”
– Dennis Rodman
Dennis is a demon he dont count
If only the Knicks just didn’t use blue light 🤣
Shame on the NBA for making the game end after Wemby’s bedtime.
HE WAS A CONSUL OF ROME !
Shame on the house of Ptolemy(ESPN)
Such a great job by that actor
And more importantly, after my bedtime
We all got work tomorrow. Sigh.
Joke’s on you, it’s 4:45AM in London and I’m unemployed
Right on mate
Jarome Luai, is that you?
nah mate on summer break
Lmao she wasn’t even in the frame and she was holding that mic up like Rafiki held Simba
Lmao
I love him
Need a vet to tell me to go sleep
What kind of animal are you?
Dont worry, he won’t feel a thing. He’ll just sort of… drift off
Same animal, different beast
Respect to Wemby for how he bounced back tonight after game 2, he didn’t fold like Shaq in the 95 Finals after dropping the first two games at home.
Bro he had a game high 29 pts at 22 yo in his second career Finals game in his first playoffs. He just had one bad pass and missed the winner by a couple inches.
The gap between the narratives and actual games rn is insane.
He’s a single shot and some crazy Brunson heroics away from an entirely different series and people are treating him like he’s a deer in the headlights this series lol
Even in Game 1 they had another bad pass and his bad dribble that won the Knicks the game.
Brunson has played way worse.
Brunson in the clutch has been insane but overall he was pretty bad
Yea
It’s been pretty crazy to see how reactionary people have been. That being said, Spurs in 6.
It’s absolutely crazy some people were comparing him to Chet who had a 4 pts game 7
That single bad pass was just inexperience as well, a lot easier to get over when a great support system like the Spurs will have coaches and former legends walk over, calm them down and help them get over it like nothing happened.
It’s moreso the bad pass cost the Spurs the game. I agree to an extent that it’s not fair. But sometimes, people remember the result over the performance
22 yo player makes young buck mistake. Shocking.
Again. I agree. It’s just that the stakes are higher. And that social media is a place where everyone, and I do mean everyone, states their opinions.
Not totally fair, but it is what it is.
After dropping 29* lmao
For all of game 1 and most of game 2 he looked like a kid; making terrible impulsive shots, jacking up tons of bad contested threes, getting dominated in the paint. He looked way better this game. The whole team looked a lot calmer.
I stg these people only watch highlights lol
Bro having one of the best ever young superstar playoff runs and these clowns acting like they got swept out in the first round.
Bro just walked into MSG in his first road Finals game and wrecked shit.
Wait, you’re telling me he’s not the dirtiest player of all time?
He’s basically worse than Kermit Washington.
Shaq who got 28/10/6 with 3 blocks game 3?
Shaq who got 25/12/3 with 5 blocks game 4?
The fact that people think this is hilarious, Hakeem couldn’t guard Shaq but Rockets role players owned
minus the bullshit at the end he was unreal for the most part last game
Bruh he was hooping in game 2
“Bounce back” by committing a flagrant 2, again, and getting away with it.
Cry more.
Wemby does that enough already
Thinder fans cried enough to fill Olympic pools.
Idk how east coast sports fans do it. NFL doesn’t start until 1pm on Sundays and then they make NBA finals games start at 8:45pm even when they’re being played in your time zone
You get used to it.
I’m almost 40 and been in eastern time my whole life. I am still not used to it. It fucking sucks
A lil something called unemployment
I just check scores in the morning lmao
Waking up and nfl is at 10am. Heaven
Yeah now do the London games lol
I actually prefer those games.
Give me something to watch when I walk my dogs
Nfl games starting at 10 would fucking suuuuuuck, are you crazy. I can barely make it to the bar or buddies place and start drinking by 1, that’s early as shit.
4pm games are best. Not too early to start drinking, the game is over shortly after dinner
And don’t even get me started on Alaska, those motherfuckers are having to get ready for a game at five in the morning. And Hawaii? They probably don’t even bother
Wemby turns into a pumpkin at midnight
She was asking stupid questions, surprised he didn’t just leave after the 2nd one.
Exactly. It’s like she spends all game thinking up some deep philosophical questions that literally have nothing to do with the game.
At least most players are smart enough to answer with “It means the world”, “The job’s not done”, or “We just gotta keep being aggressive”, then say thanks and bounce.
Gotta score points to win!
Her questions have honestly all been bad this series. I don’t know if she’s following a script or coming up with the questions herself, but they’re all so bland and terrible.
Post-game interviews with the winning player is basically always dumb, because the point is to give the player a chance to talk about whatever they want to.
Its the softest of softballs, the reporter is just there to give the player a chance to say whatever. And if the player doesn’t really have anything to say for whatever reason, it will always fall flat.
He has to read for 2 hours so he’s not going to bed til LATE
2 hours? Dang.
De’Aaron better be in the practice gym the whole night, practice those mid range bunnies
He can go 5-50 as long as he hits daggers like that and steadies the possessions for the Spurs
Re: his dagger- I absolutely hate this new defensive strategy THAT ALL TEAMS USE that the Knicks utilized against Wemby on that possession- double arm bar, locked, and pushing him to keep him from moving. That isn’t basketball. Please start calling that a foul. It’s insane to watch.
Nah man they should be allowed to do shit that wouldn’t fly in the NFL, otherwise it wouldn’t be fair, he’s 7’6”.
That’s fair but if he makes more of those shots, the games would not be 2-3 points close, and more attention would be placed on him
He’s playing on two bum ankles and it’s a miracle he’s even playing
Bro is averaging 12 points per game on ass shooting since coming back, he’s not even 50%
They still need him, he steadies them obviously it would be better if he shot great but he’s not going to have consistent shooting because he isn’t healthy
He’s not shooting well but I don’t think he’s horrible. They’ve been getting a lot of 3s off his penetration and they look calmer with him out there
Its still crazy how fast he is even with 2 bum ankles too.
He was 4-14, 0-5.
He barely shot a 3 and he was wide open. Fox is killing their spacing and his plus / minus shows it.
Veteran move right there
[removed]
Flair-less💀💀
Fleh-less
How long did it take you to come up with that one?
Unc gotta sleep Wemby.
Being 2 years older than Fox, this hurts to type. Dammit Harper.
The reporter being out of frame, and then her arm popping in and out is so funny. It’s like a cartoon.
Fox it’s not midnight someone check him for concussion protocols
Dude’s got books to read.
☝️🤓 akshually, it’s still only 11 PM there
Wheres the rest of that arms body?
Where are the reddit experts? You tease the 22 year old for making mistakes but when he wins… you .. hide? Where are you guys?
Lisa Salters arm being the only thing in the shot is killing me
It was only like 11:30 though
What is Mike talking about? 5 Finals teams have been down 0-2 and came back and won it all, As recent as the Bucks with Giannis in 2021. The other 4 are 2016 Cavs vs Warriors, 2006 Miami vs Dallas, 1977 Portland vs 76ers, and 1969 Boston vs Lakers.
I think it’s when they’re down two at home.
The crew rolled through to scoop Wemby.
Gotta cut out that blue light
not all of us could nap mid game like DJT
Fox almost ended his season going 4-14, 0-5. Damn.
I always thought the Spurs would win game 3, but when I said theyd win by outshooting the Knicks, I didnt think it would mean at the FT line
Going into the bonus 2 minutes into the 4th was just diabolical work by the refs, I think like 2⁄5 of the fouls were legit, but still
This is actually pretty funny
Fox the Fairy Godmother.
Knicks in 5
Yeah my mobile app games dailies have reset. Fox knows
Sleepy Don agrees 🫡
That was PR
Fox
Still
Sucks.
Can Wemby react to his non called flagrant foul?
Go email the league office about it
Where hali Achilles at 😂
Good, they don’t want to take any credit from the refs
wimpy
Reddit users crying
