[Highlight] OG Anunoby chases down De’Aaron Fox for the block, giving the Knicks possession down 1
FOX WHAT ARE YOU DOING??
YOU’RE UP BY ONE, TAKE THE FOUL
this is supposed to be the vet btw
Spurs basically lost game 1 playing him over Harper in the end of that one as the ball handler too, this guy bruh.
Spurs fans acted like I was the biggest idiot on earth for not understanding why they paid Fox all that money. I wonder if they still feel the same.
I saw a comment that said “Fox is a litmus test for ball knowers” which is true, just not how they thought it was
Getting paid 250 mil
Good vets are rare. Rather have no vet presence at all than career losers like this guy and JR Smith
Calling jr smith a loser when he won a won a ring with you guys nice one
He also won with the Cavs. He made a bad mistake but it wouldnt have changed the outcome of that series in 2018
Fox’s stupidity has more or less sealed Spur’s fate this year. This was a very winnable series for them
They would’ve got gentlemen swept if jr smith makes a shot it and it goes on
What an idiot
He’s playing like a 14 year old when last game he was poised
Bad shooting games is one thing, but this is the one mistake he couldn’t make as their maxed pg vet.
Never seen a dagger block down 1 but this is it
This comment has me crying lmfao
Stupid like a fox
why are foxes catching strays 😭😭
I just got back from watching the game at a friend’s house, and I have absolutely no dog in this fight, and I’m still quivering with rage.
Hold the ball and take time off the clock ffs.
Hold the ball, let them foul, make em both and they got 3 seconds probably tops to get one up to tie. So fucking stupid.
That would have been the difference in not enough time for the OG tip.
If the spurs were up 3, the tip doesn’t even matter if it still happens
This dude won a clutch player of the year wtf
Well unfortunately you don’t get clutch points for holding the ball until the clock stops 😆
God I feel so bad for him man tbh. It’s such a boneheaded play but how quickly that moment must have happened for him. Tough one to live down but the loss wasn’t all on him
He’s used to being the fastest player on the court thinking he can outrun everyone. Plus he’s afraid to shoot free throws.
If Spurs had won we’d all be talking about Hart’s blown breakway layup/dunk and then falling asleep on Castle’s OREB and FTs to give Spurs the lead back. Game of literal inches.
young team. oh wait Fox isn’t young lol
Getting a huge contract to do shit like this man, man is just not worth his contract rn lmao
He’s a <30 mil player by basically every aggregate metric and he’s making twice that lol. Rest of the league thanks you for the self-handicap 🫡
Chris Paul would have been better on his farewell tour
harper or castle would have been more reliable down the stretch
Lmao Fox wtf
Fox and Hart CTE duel
Followed this up with not boxing out on the Knicks next possession too…
I think the plan was to go double JB, who took a genius shot not forcing things into Wemby and being early enough for a tip in/ offensive rebound. OG with amazing instincts too knowing to dive in immediately
Oh totally, OG made an incredible play. He’s been the unsung hero for the Knicks all series imo
After the double team though it looked like Fox had an opportunity to box out or at least redirect OG’s angle. May have just been the camera angle though that made it seem that way
Na your right. Fox just stands there lmao
Brain fart again in the clutch by the Spurs
Jr Smith level mental break
It hasn’t been 15 minutes yet, and I’ve heard reports that the Spurs have already called all 29 other teams to let them know the Fox is very available this offseason.
Yep, my thoughts exactly, just hold the ball and make them put you on the line
He’s gonna be the reason the Knicks win games 1, 2, and 4
WHAT A FUCKING MORON -
Lmao 10 year vet doesn’t know to hold the ball there
Dude might never live that down
He’s been terrible for the past 5 minutes
Absolutely worst player on the court
Nah he had a couple of dumbass turnovers end of the 3rd too, he has shitting all over in that second half lol
The pass to no one that went across half court, and the ball off the foot.
I thought the game was kind of over, tuned in at the end of the 3rd and saw literally two of these stupid turnovers in a row. 15 points difference, are they actually choking it I thought then to myself. They actually were.
If they had just slowed the game pace down so much more
Even as a neutral observer, I’m livid lol what an idiot
Same. He’s supposed to control the tempo and calm down his teammates becuase he’s the vet. No wonder kings sucked ass
Finally everyone understands
To be fair, we traded Halliburton and kept Fox, all we know how to do is suck ass.
He’s trying to make Josh Hart feel better for his missed layup and failed box out.
10 year vet star PG. What the fuck
Bro has never been in the situation on the kings in his life. He’s basically a rookie
He was on the Kings. That was a wasted decade
Easy young fella the Wizards are in no position to throw hands. Beam Team was a great run even if it was short lived. I was there for the Draymond Stomp game.
It takes a poverty franchise to know a poverty franchise. We’re in the gutter together consistently. I hope Adam Silver one day rigs the draft for your Kings so they can get a franchise cornerstone.
Everyone glazed him as this ultra clutch player when he had played a grand total of 7 playoff games prior to this season.
this might be the dumbest play of the 2020s. i cannot believe how stupid this was from fox.
edit: confirmed yes. the dumbest play of the 2020s. we witnessed greatness.
Legacy defining play unfortunately
My dumb has been thoroughly founded
Millenial Monta Ellis except the Kangz passed up two different Steph Currys for him 😭
This and the Wemby pass off Castle’s back are probably the worst way to lose a finals ever.
That pass was sort of understandable when you watch the replay. The moment Wemby is about to pass to Castle, he looked away.
What Fox did here is crazy. JR Smith at least grabbed the ball and held onto it lol
It’s also a 7’5 dude passing to a point guard in transition.
People act like he did a behind the back pass 10 feet into the stands.
He hit his point guard literally in the back on a fast break. Just unlucky timing as you said.
the thing is, with wemby and castle you have the excuse of them being kids. fox is literally supposed to be the guy on the roster not making those kind of errors. so brutal
“it doesnt really matter. its not going to make anyone feel better.” - Fox (Dec 27 2024)
turns out, it did matter. maybe some accountability and self-reflection?
Brown has always wanted accountability from Fox. Now he got it with Brunson. He knows Fox well enough to be confident in saying that he’ll kick their asses.
Sometimes you play good and other times you play bad. That’s just basketball.
He doesn’t really take this shit seriously
Maybe ever with the rest of his terrible game
He should be benched for the rest of his career. Thats a championship losing play right there. Just cant even believe it.
Everything was happening so fast that I didn’t register that he didn’t have to take that shot. I was just so focused on what the Knicks were doing. And the broadcast didn’t give it enough emphasis. But wow, this is…… just so damn unfortunate and demoralizing lol
JR Smith breathes a sigh of relief that someone finally surpassed his idiocy
JR Smith is way worse lmao cmon now
HOW ARE THE SPURS THIS STUPID
The power of destiny makes people stupid
Nah just Fox is a choker. Sacramento sends their regards.
I want to fucking cry bro why
I’m sorry man, but your team has won like 5 chips in the last 25 years. I just can’t feel bad for the spurs.
You’ll get a few with wemby, and this series isn’t over.
Which by the way is so much better than what will ever happen to a minnesota mens team. There’s a more likely chance they all get moved than any of them ever winning a title in my lifetime.
I’m with you. They will win plenty going forward. I’m sure it sucks, but I was happy we even made he playoffs once in 16 years, Spurs fans don’t understand suffering quite as much.
Does a loss like this suck? Yeah. Crazy frustrating, but they also are in the finals with a super young core. They have an exciting future.
I hope you guys see more success, and I hope Sac finally gets out of purgatory (but I’ve been saying that for a LONG time). I swear it’ll be soon!
Either way, happy for the Knicks fans tonight, that was a wild comeback.
but they also are in the finals with a super young core.
literally first playoff run for them too, thats a threat for years to come
that and lucksack into the best prospect in basketball history, then get the 4 (50% chance?) and then the 2 (12% chance). can’t feel bad at all.
which is after lucking into tim duncan bc david robinson was hurt lol. probably the last franchise on the planet that should be complaining
I can’t believe we paid fox this much…makes me sick
we are ridiculously dumb it’s sad man absolute chokejob
this is just fox btw. leave the spurs out of it
No. The whole team was jacking up threes and bricking them the second half. They needed to take it to the basket
The gameplan should have been to get Harper to the basket. Instead, Champagnie and Co. decided they wanted to become brickmasons
Had the same thought. Shoot even Harper took some threes that third quarter. Such a disappointing loss. Credit to the Knicks for never giving up
They got too comfortable. Young team, young coach, easy trap to fall into. Too bad the vets couldn’t pull everyone else’s heads out of their collective asses.
They were 100% dicking around with those terrible alley oops and shitty 3s. Thought they had the game in the bag.
Can’t even say they deserve the win given the refs helped them somewhat early on
The spurs, when they’ve been up, have shown that they are overly cocky. It’s the youth. That will go away, but it was very apparent tonight.
WTF FOX
Guy has to make a dumb play for every smart play, doesn’t he?
For every smart play? Then he’d have no dumb plays?
#WHAT THE FOX MAN
50 million next year
Redundant player on a young team who is also declining and making the max. Ouch
Ayyy P, they said I gotta come off the bench.
He’s not redundant tho, Spurs don’t make it past OKC without him. Spurs give 20+ turnovers when Fox isn’t playing. They’re also still under the 1st apron this year and next year even with him on a max.
He for sure made a gigantic mistake but Spurs still got what they wanted out of him for getting them to finals. Next time Wemby probably doesn’t miss those FTs
And in the heat of the moment, even vets do dumb things. When you’re in the garden, and there’s that much noise and adrenaline, you can lose your bearings.
Might not be a next time, chances like these don’t come around every season.
This is truly a generarional fumble even if Fox was a back to back to back MVP before that.
Harper is clearly better I ssid it
I’d take ancient Bron over Fox for that 50m
bron would never put up the statlines that fox is putting up
he would also never have made such a brain-dead play to choke a lead away like fox did
Bron please come to san antonio please
But there’s nothing to do there. Nothing at all. Nothing. And I mean nothing.
What the FUCK
They gotta investigate Fox for gambling
Had so many dumb plays today it is weird
He’s been doing it all series
De’Aaron Fix
Too dumb to throw games on purpose.
if he wasn’t an habitual idiot sure, but this one was egregious
All Fox had to do was hold the ball and get fouled. What a moron.
He did get fouled
100%, but this is one of those moments you have to understand how blatant a foul needs to be to get a whistle
Game three had SO many ticky tack late game whistles just murdering all enjoyment and momentum.
This one let them play, and while there was some questionable contact a couple times, the game was SO much better for it.
Not the right way. He should not have shot that under any circumstance.
As stupid as the play was this is an obvious foul?
100% a foul lmao, doesn’t even get close to the ball and hits Fox in the arm lmao
Idk I think he gets ball before arm but the body contact visually moved fox in the air a ton. Clear foul but sometimes they don’t call shit at the end of games.
I’m watching it frame by frame on a big screen and 100% sure he hits ball first. His fingertips knock it loose and then his follow through hits the forearm
I think it’s the body tho OG slams body before any ball contact
its the body slam before allat
It’s the body contact before that is clear. Also even if he knocks it loose with fingertips, chopping the arm is still a foul at that point because he’s still attempting the shot right?
100% cannot believe I had to scroll this far for this lmao. I love OG, he’s my fav player in this series by far. That’s a clear foul.
Shouldnt have to come down to a call like that. Dribble the ball out we have the lead and time
yep. i think the spurs as is are a championship contender but they’ll definitely make things easier on themselves if they get a different starting point guard
Harper is their starting pg of the future…so do you bring $50m Fox off the bench?
100% cannot believe I had to scroll this far for this lmao
Good refs, bad refs, physical game, ticky-tack game – it doesn’t matter. Everyone knows that level of contact is not going to be called in the final seconds of a close game. He should have known better.
This is a total foul lmao
Clear foul but refs never call that stuff at the end of games. Game was a total refjob but we choked anyway so it doesn’t even deserve to be talked about.
Refs: “You don’t deserve the foul for that horrendous decision”
Thank you, had to rewatch over and over because I just don’t see how we’re all pretending it wasn’t
I feel so fucking bad for Fox. He got fucking murdered on that play but will get clowned for decades
He should be, to be fair. That is precisely why he should have dribbled it out. There was zero chance OG was gonna not do anything short of a maul him on a contest, so putting a shot up really, best case scenario, was just going to have him where dribbling it out would have had him… the line
As he should. No ref in the history of the league is calling a foul there lol all he had to do is just stand there and get intentionally fouled and the game is over
You’re never getting a foul called unless you at least partially decapitate the shooter or they break something. Thats just how final seconds of close games are reffed.
Watch how much his body moves in the air, but fuck Fox anyway
But you gotta know theyre going to foul you.. If you hold it they’ll foul to you too. Missing a shot is the worst thing you can do.
Refs are not calling that in that situation
am soooo here to watch him force his way out our franchise and fuck up in moments like this.
say what you want but the hate watch is going crazy.
I’m fucking sat
Dude he is so dumb man. Basketball iq id terrible
That light the beam era definitely damaged things
It would be one of our Kings mods to say this 😂
This feels like cosmic levels of karma
DRIBBLE IT OUT DUMBASS
Fox just lost them the game lmao
Possibly the series. One of the worst plays in finals history given it directly led to the largest choke in history.
I have a hard time believing the Spurs will comeback 3-1 after that
If anything, they are probably gonna get blown out in game 5
They had double digit leads in every loss , stupid decisions and bad coaching in the 4th in every loss has been unreal to watch.
They aren’t even winning the next game. Shits over
Literally just lost the game from that
The announcers didn’t even acknowledge this
seriously, spurs basically had the win secured if he holds the ball
spurs has the win secured if he’s on the bench this game lmao
Probably cause of the near back-court right afterwards
No one did. Am I crazy? How is the whole arena not coming unglued by that block? The crowd noise barely changed. Is the audio broken? Am I broken?
HOLD THE BALL FOX
Fox WYD man
That just lost the game
Fox is a fucking idiot holy shit
What in the actual fuck is Fox doing….just hold the ball for fts bruh
Get ready to learn Chinese, buddy.
Why did he not hold it?!?!?!?!
He either thought they were still behind or he’s gambling.
He’d rather not shoot free throws.
Fox Leroy Jenkins’ed the fuck out of that break
One of the biggest mistakes in NBA history
Hold the ball! Hold the ball! Hold the ball! Hold the ball! Hold the ball! Hold ball! Hold ball! Hold ball! Hold ball! Hobol! Hobol! Hobol! Hobol!
All the “Fox is a steady veteran who makes good decision “ people plz explain
Why in Christs name would Fox not hold that ball
JR Smith level play
As a die-hard LeBron fan, it’s worse. Way worse.
This was just magnitudes worse than the JR play. Never thought I’d see a worse play in my life yet here we are
Wtf is fox thinking? There’s no way 😂
Gotta be the dumbest team in the NBA. Even the veteran is an idiot
Fox lost them the game
Why would you shoot that!?!?
why the fuck did fox not dribble it out? even if he hits that layup it’s still a one-possession game!
awful stuff from the vet pg who’s supposed to make good decisions there, and fouling alvarado right as he was about to commit a backcourt violation was the cherry on top
Fox negative IQ WTF!!! POINTLESS SHOT
You know it’s a foul because it’s a fucking clutch block with 10 seconds left in a 1 point finals game and they won’t show a replay…
Why shoot
Take the foul bro wtf
He did get fouled lol
Why would you go for the layup? You’re up 1 you moron
Why would you even go for that layup oh my lord
It’s a foul btu WHYYYYY
Yeah unless his career just completely takes off in an unprecedented way in the future, this is what Fox will forever be remembered for.
Genuinely how do you get these clips up this quickly
Fox is a basketball terrorist. The dumbest player on a team full of kids.
This is an incredibly dumb play by Fox but genounely how is that not a foul lol
