Did anyone notice that offensive rebound the Knicks got in the 4th? Wemby didn’t even try to jump for it. Brother – you are 14 feet tall. You need to be getting some fucking rebounds my guy. He lost it to a bench player.

Pop is a great coach but not some epitome of good sportsmanship

I feel like he’s flip-flopped from being a fan favorite and a league villain quite a bit throughout this playoff run. It’s kinda fun how quickly an NBA star’s narrative can change.

He knows he has Adam Silver in his bag

[removed]

The universe was telling him to walk away

This is one of those things that everyone throws a fuss over in the moment, then forgets about it a day later

Bron also didn’t shake anyone hand when Orlando defeated Cavs.

The De’Aaron Fox 8 second dribble into a contested elbow jumper bricked off the rim is such a head scratcher and they just…kept going back to it?

Tbf I think people were just united by hate for OKC rather than fans of Spurs/Wemby

Villian that kills the enemy of the MC but proceeds to usurp their position as head bad guy

this is one of the more reasonable comments I’ve seen here. I don’t care too much about the cockiness because in general I think it’s earned and he should always have that attitude imo. He’s worked too hard to not be confident/cocky imo.

I sympathize with your frustrations regarding the physicality getting protected by the league. I 100% understand why that is frustrating and should be called out. shouldn’t be special treatment just because it’s wemby. But then again, this is Adam silver’s league we are talking about

To be fair, the “everyone knows we’re gonna do it” was referring to his teammates, not “the whole world”, which is pretty much the answer you’d expect from a player when a reporter asks if your team is confident they can still win the series.

Missed clutch free throws 2 games in a row.

I’m glad Robinson got the clutch rebound, he was mostly playing like shit and it’s nice to get a little piece as well after Wemby shit talking

Said that and immediately got walked down from up 15 (again) the following game. At home. With the whole team choking at the end.

Should’ve won an acting award instead

Honestly sounds like something someone his age would say jokingly.

he’s chill people just like to create fantasies about him on social media

Gifted all that height and gifted a bunch of fouls against KAT

Yup. Fitting as hell for him to go out to a small guard straight fucking hooping. Brunson walked his ass down.

Did it to themselves

The heel is where spurs are normally found.

I cant wait for the hate for the Spurs next season.

I agree, there’s a ‘performative’ nature to what he does outside of basketball. But he’s still just a young guy, I hope he finds maturity.

Not only careless and dirty, but hilariously unfocused in critical moments. He was awful in the clutch in the Finals. Not very monk-like. But hey at least he got some cool pics for his Instagram.

ngl i think the rhetoric if basically any other player did what he did to naz reid would be INSANE. like seriously, imagine SGA had done something like that? or basically anyone who isnt this subs golden child

Oh he’s 100% going the villain route and coming back with a vengeance. I can’t wait to see him evolve after this experience.

NBA fans hating on trashtalking and cockiness, what’s the next step, MMA fans not liking violence in the cage ?

De’Aaron Fox winked at the Knicks at the end. The secret partnership worked

Castle disappeared long before the buzzer

People may hate SGA cause he’s a foul merchant. But he’s a good dude, and shows good sportsmanship.

Wemby and the spurs as a whole. Bryant and Castle played football the whole series but SGA falling down or Dort fouling someone = 5k upvotes

They’re still scapegoating Fox over wemby lmao

Like Fox was shit but with how people are talking you’d think wemby was putting up ⁴⁰⁄₂₀ every game

Draymond has always faced the music.

I also went back to check the 2019 Raps win. Dray immediately went to hug Kawhi when it was all over. Curry did the same with Lowry.

Draymond might be a piece of shit on court but he absolutely takes the Ls like a man.

Was Klay the one who just ran away after saying it was a mans game that year?

He exposed himself this series. He had the best reputation of any player in the last 20 years after beating OKC and he just had to start talking and playing dirty (which he has done all playoffs long but in the biggest stage is when people will finally realize)

Bro has serious anger issues when things don’t go his way. People understandably don’t like OKC but the Spurs are right up there with them when it comes to dirty plays.

Agree, and Castle was doing most of it. Constantly brushing the Knicks off, and Spurs fans just say it’s confidence, not arrogance. There’s a way to be confident without continuously downplaying your opponents that are beating your ass in the fourth quarter of every game.

It’s just the right thing to do, and there’s no real excuse for not going and showing respect.

My polite GOAT

This. No excuse for poor sportsmanship

Noticed that too.

Not sure I’ve ever seen a finals series end with the losing team not shake hands at all with the winning team. That was really immature.

Also Brunson hugging his dad. All sorts of manly tears were shed that day.

Nope, actually we still lost to Cleveland in the finals.

Ethical basketball lost today 😂
