[Highlight] OG Anunoby fakes Victor Wembanyama with the hesi (with a replay)
The hesi, aka literally just picking up your dribble and then committing a double dribble.
Just a smart vet move (idk how that wasn’t called lmao)
I can understand how refs miss a lot of stuff, but this was egregious lol. The ref was literally 3ft away.
It’s because they are so conditioned to not call what used to be a carry, that they didn’t expect OG to actually pick the ball up.
They loved calling it a couple years ago for like 3 weeks because they got Jordan Poole like 8 times with it lol
that week Poole went from All Star level to Shaqtin a fool highlight machine
It’s weird how targetted it was against Poole during that stretch, lol. Especially since he isn’t the worst offender(although he is pretty bad). I don’t think I have seen Ingram dribble the ball as a Raptor without full hand under the ball carrying it between dribbles.
That one Steph pulled on LeBron in the Finals that he got away with was subtle…but this shit was egregious
If Wemby had bit hard enough probably would’ve been 3 free throws
The back ref is blocked by OGs back because he didn’t quite get into position in time. The baseline ref is blocked by Wembys back.
That’s inexcusable for all 3 refs to not have a good view of the ball. Maybe the nba should invest in getting refs who are better conditioned
But he did it so confidently. Normally players will act awkward cuz they know they fked up.
Almost like they are instructed to let that go for the sake of entertainment.
Yeah that was obvious, the refs are letting almost everything go.
Fucking clown ass association
Classic two handed hesi
It’s a joke that wasn’t called
The Sakuragi special
fuck it, let’s just get rid of dribbling and traveling rules altogether
Done ✅
That was fast, it traveled well
That was already the choice when they let hardens step back happen
Just make it slam ball.
Dagestani Basketball
Can you get rid of something that doesn’t exist in the NBA?
Stephs been doing this for years! His is WAY better disguised than this though and Happens too quick in real time.
Bro thinks NBA has dribbling and traveling rules. LOOOL. It’s an afterthought that randomly refs remember when they’ve bet on the opponents.
Killed em with a silver bullet
Calling traveling a hesi is a new one
Crazy that he got away with it lol
he must’ve been laughing his ass off inside lol. Anybody who’s even played pickup knows how unnatural this even feels to do in the first place
when you get away with a double dribble, theres always that late reaction to it if no one calls it out lol
Which is why it wasn’t called. 1000% unexpected, looked smooth enough that you could figure he did the thing that 99% of the time he’d do.
(Not saying it wasn’t a pretty obvious call, just he didn’t like have a major hitch or stop moving to make it blatant)
Think there was also a bit of luck involved. Both visible refs couldn’t see his right hand gather the ball from their perspectives.
OG did it so smooth
This!
and got a foul on top of it 🏆
Players have been getting away with shit like this all playoffs. This is like the fourth time I’ve seen something like this not get called. A couple clear doubles, an egregious pivot switch, and one absolutely crazy dribble - stop - pivot a few times - dribble again.
It’s kinda nuts tbh.
The ref is right there lol
This is a legal play in the nba
Seriously tho, the ref is actually right there😭
I think the ref probably only saw OGs back. But the ref at the baseline had a clear view. Either way it’s an absolute embarrassment that this was missed.
But the ref at the baseline had a clear view.
From one of the other angles, you can see that the baseline ref is actually blocked by Wembys back.
The top ref is just a little slow getting in position.
Froze the ref’s brain too lol
Double dribble added on the ignored violations list alongside illegal screens, 3 in key and carrying
Just a simple gather step. Or something.
Ask KD if that matters
I watch a couple times just to see if the refs had a bad angle or somehow weren’t looking and one of them is a few feet away staring at the guy with the ball the other is about 30 ft away also with an excellent sight line. I can’t imagine how they miss this and I also don’t understand why it wasn’t challenged it seems incredibly clear.
Egregious double dribble. Foster is and his crew are blind
this is with the ball too. like something happening off-ball maybe you miss that. but at least 1 ref should always be looking at the player with the ball
There was something happening off ball. At the start of the clip, Hart’s hand gets tangled with Castle’s ankle. (wink wink)
thank goodness it’s not just me.
The extender trying to shake his reputation
this is just the SKILL of the modern players that JEALOUS oldheads could never do
/s
They have instructions to allow this. Nba wants this stuff so highlights end up on socials and then we talk about it here. That’s literally their product, the actual game is an unfortunate byproduct of the highlight clip farm
Lol that was nuts. But nba rarely calls this stuff. Wish they did though
It makes me mad as Ive seen players like Kyrie do this move legally too. The old Uncle Drew commercial had this exact clip done correctly where your palm is down and you never touch the ball as the hands come together.
this is a double dribble though 100%
This was a pretty bad no call wtf
It was a gather for his gather move.
You’ve heard of hunter gatherers? What about gather gatherers?
Outcompeted by the tribes of travel gatherers
hesi so good he used two hands to pull it off
Greatest hesi ever!
Wemby not falling for anything he got him on a double dribble
you couldn’t even get away with this at LA fitness lol
That’s a fight brewing to happen if you try to argue it
pros play under easier rules than children
With the double dribble
OG is playing football out there
Learning from Castle
Rule of cool. Overturned.
FYI you cannot challenge if no call was made
If they challenged the Champaigne foul could they get a proximate double dribble?
Not outside the last 2 minutes iirc.
The ref called two points so they should be able to challenge
Never seen Wemby bite so hard at a double dribble
Well because it was a double dribble. He was supposed to close out. OG wasn’t supposed to be able to keep going.
I’m aware yah
Whoosh
Can happen to anyone
Elite gather step
Hesi?? Are you serious?
Yeah how do the commentators just pump that up and not call it out lol. That might be the worst part.
I agree, wth. The comments with the slowmo hyping it up as an amazing play is just disgusting
They’re gaslighting us.
I don’t know the rules anymore.
Refs already warmed up
Average hesi highlight
Refs are off to a hot start I see.
Double dribble but Refs allowed it
lol the NBA has its own rules now I see
Ima try this one at pick ups tomorrow. TUFF
That’s… that’s not a hesi. That’s a double dribble plain as fucking day, lol. Wemby sets because he picks up his dribble. Otherwise he never gets past him.
What a great move. Nastiest double dribble I’ve seen in a minute
Traveling
“Fakes”
That hesi is so good double dribble becomes legal play.
Wtf lmao
Bob Cousy could never pull this off
Im a casual, can someone explain how he is allowed to walk that much without dribbling when he gets the pass?
I saw a person mention gather step
It’s. A. Double dribble.
But the NBA has let go of traditional rules so Wembys fault.
He’s talking about how many steps he takes after getting the pass, like before the double dribble even happens.
This was honestly a travel before it was even a double dribble. He even takes two steps in a row with his right foot. You could probably argue this was two travels and a double dribble
“hesi”
Rigged for…. the knicks?
Always was.
bruh Knicks fans are saying the refs are pro-Spurs
they just don’t call travels, carries, and double dribbles most of the time anymore. it’s not always a biased referee Adam Silver conspiracy this and that
That was one of the greatest double dribbles in the history of basketball
Lmao hesi he grabs the ball with his two hands, wtf is this garbage
Thought the commentators would at least call it out, absolutely was not expecting to hear RJ creaming his pants because Wemby fell for…..one of the most obvious double dribbles you’ll ever see
everyone should learn this new hesi move
fuck the double dribble rule
OG been watching too many of those “ultimate, unstoppable crossover” videos on Insta
Why is hesi not in quotes?
That is a textbook Double dribble. Come on lol
Peak NBA
fuck the modern nba, fuck silver, fuck refs, fuck it all
‘OG fakes Victor with a double dribble’
That’s a travel.
That’s a double dribble.
It’s barely in the top 10 worst double/travel this final series. Refs are a joke when it comes to traveling.
That’s your Finals MVP
WTF… this is embarrassing…
That’s just a double dribble da fuck
I can see how the refs missed that but…lol
I don’t like the Spurs, but players being allowed to dribble and travel like this is absolutely bullshit. This kind of crap is why people don’t have actual handles anymore, they just walk wherever they want. Call this shit and tall guys get nerfed and actual dribbling skill matters again.
[deleted]
It’s not a travel.
It’s a double dribble
How do you miss that tho 😂
Refs get a bag to watch games
lol wtf is that? yellow card for simulation
You mean the double dribble
What even is a travel in the NBA anymore
Thunder adding it to their bag next year
League is a joke lol
Travel
That’s prime NBA reffing right there baby. Love to see it.
ALL GLORY TO SCOTT FOSTER. THANK YOU
Wow we all know the refs are bad but this is really getting out of hand.
I feel like LaMelo is to blame for this
For the love of God can we please train a bunch of new reffing crews that will actually blow the whistle when players travel, double dribble, or carrying the ball. Or just change the fucking rules to allow everything and only call fouls.
Double dribble hop-step bullshit lol
Quarter of a court gather step?
Double !!!
NBA Refs won’t call shit except fouls that are wildly inconsistent
It’s hard not to see that.
Foster is a true vet, gotta sprinkle some of these in so Knicks fans can’t say 5v8
IT4 used to do this on every posession.
Basketball is so wack to watch now.
And he gets fouled?!
When you’re a star, they let you do it
my gosh, what an absolute joke. need some fiba refs
And 1 mixtape level move right there
Ref stopped caring about traveling long ago to give the poster child players more highlights
The hesi naw dog that’s pure bait
The hand(s) of OG
Holy fuck, what a travel.
so the ref hesi’d also
double dribble as obvious as the statue of liberty. 🤦🤦♀️🤦♂️
You could see Wemby’s face afterwards trying to process the play.
lol “hesi”
double dribble, travel, which call do you want to make?
So hesis are either a carry or double dribble. Gather steps and step backs are travels. Great example the league is putting out there these days
Knicks 10-0 with this crew
OG I love you but that might have been a double dribble.
He played hot potato with the ball and the refs let it go lmao
When even the refs are fooled.
Hesi + Euro Step
The modern day terms for Carry + Travel
Cant believe the bas quality of refs
Richard Jefferson twerking for the most obvious double dribble ffs take off his mic
We calling doubles hesi’s now?
I stopped watching the NBA years ago because I had no idea what a travel was anymore. Clearly nothing has gotten better.
There should be a rule where if you make a spectacular move and miss the shot you shouldn’t get a replay
This is why i love when the US players play in FIBA, cause this shit gets called & they always get mad lol
Refs are a joke these days smh
knicks fans been shouting rigged ref all series
Double dribble was so bad at this point just pick up the ball and run across the court.
Thats a double dribble lol
I want someone to find out how many incorrect calls the refs made in this finals game alone
Im a casual basketball fan, no skin in the game. This is exactly why i stopped watching basketball. The game somehow doesnt even have rules anymore like wtf was that
What’s a double dribble? What’s a travel? Might as well do away with dribbling altogether at this point
lmao usually these “watch him cook” clips are just someone egregiously carrying, but this is a whole double dribble
but I love all the Knicks fans talking about the refs are pro-Spurs
Is this not a double dribble?
Can you do that in basketball???? That’s new.
Doesn’t look that bad in regular speed tbh
Travelinggggg
Not even basketball anymore.
Is that not a double dribble?
Maybe it was mentioned later but did the announcers even address it?
Are double dribbles a Mandela effect?
That’s a gather step I don’t know what y’all are on
