Jalen Brunson Toasting to “F*** Wemby” Last Night at Knicks Team Party
r/thunder bout to have this on loop over there
Damn these mfs have a new generational hatred for him on their hands lol.
Tbf he started it
By beating they ass?
By talking about ethical basketball and then actually becoming what people think Lu Dort is.
Lu Dort is that, Wemby just turned out to be the pot calling the kettle black the whole time
EDIT: hilariously I have Spurs and Thunder fans both claiming their guy isn’t dirty. Warriors fans, this is your best chance to argue Draymond’s innocence, if their arguments are correct
I think in long series everyone becomes a bit of a prick
No one elbowed but Wemby
Also Wemby came out doing that shit game 1 vs. the Knicks
Yeah it’s really hard to go 6 or 7 games and not hate like half of the other team.
Hell I go 6-7 games and hate the other fans
I like Harper a lot. Dude balled out, but he really gained me as a fan when Caruso did a hard foul on Castle/Vassell forget which one. The foul was harder than necessary and the fouled player was for sure about to stand up and get in a fight, maybe a tech, maybe an ejection. Harper slid in behind him on the ground and bear hugged him so he couldn’t stand up. Maturity in a big moment that I bet greater than 50% of the league wouldn’t show. My respect for Harper and hate for Wemby are equal levels.
What people think Lu Dort is? Lmao nah we not getting gaslit. Dort is the dirtiest player in the association
Come on bro. Lu Dort is still what people think he is lol
We saw Lu Dort commit at least 2 season ending injuries (PG, Ja) and many many more flagrants lol
Conflating those 2 is classic Canadian homer bs for SGA
By Wemby committing 2 flagrant fouls on Brunson without a single one being called.
Tf that gotta do with Thunder fans? Especially when they got Lu Dort?
Because he bitched about playing ethical basketball and then started fouling dudes dirty for no reason.
wemby this playoff run has a longer list of dirty plays alone but your hatred for dort isn’t ready for that conversation yet
Dort has one playoff flagrants. Dray has eight. Wemby has three and would’ve been four if they reviewed his foot in the landing zone correctly. He’s speed running it.
Edit: fixed numbers
Wemby would have 5 because they didnt upgrade the first Jalen foul. But think about that Draymond has 6 in like 12 years while wemby has 5 in his first ever playoff run. Lol and lots of people consider Draymond to be the dirtiest in The league
Bruhhh have u not seen him elbowing KAT and throwing down JB?? The chant is warranted
The full windup at Naz Reid’s neck
The fact that his own teammate Harper even had a WTF reaction shows how fucked it was
Very hard not to hate him
MFer started it, not us.
Thunder living vicariously through the other blue-orange team
the fans aren’t allowed to support the 2x champ Dillon Jones ?
Back-to-back. Don’t disrespect him like that. Haha
And asst coaches Mo Cheeks and Mark Bryant.
We beat the Pacers, they beat the Spurs for us. Everyone wins.
Ayo you right lol
An alliance I didn’t know I needed before just now
We also have been trade partners for years. Y’all traded the 2022 11 pick so that we can draft Ousmane Deing, so that we could draft JDub (Cleveland was trying to move up to that spot to draft Dub). So that y’all can have cap space to sign Jalen Brunson. Y’all traded your draft pick so that we could draft Dillon Jones who has won back 2 back championships with the Thunder and Knicks. Carmelo Anthony played and is loved by both franchises. Along with Lance Thomas. OKC drafted/traded Duece McBide to the Knicks. iHart ❤️, Taj Gibson, Enes Kanter and so on. The same colors, same vibes int the locker room (Power of friendship). Hatred for Wemby.
I could go on but the Thunder and Knicks have always been close trade partners.
Edit: also from someone else’s post Mo Cheeks and Bryant as coaches
Edit: also this year I have cheering for the Knicks and if the Thunder lost I wanted the Knicks to win. So Knicks have been my second favorite team for the past three years (Brunson, Hart, Bridges, and Dvonte friendship brought me in)
More or less the same colors, too.
We beat the pacers for them and they beat the spurs for us. Oklahoma and NYC forever intertwined
“Did we just become best friends?”
Through the power of Dillon Jones
Ngl a knicks thunder alliance isnt what i saw coming but here we are 😅😅 i guess champions do bond 😎
As an OKC fan born and raised in New York, the past two years have been magical.
Thunder and Wolves fans teaming up for once to live vicariously through the Knicks
The Knicks-Thunder-Wolves Axis
If you squint it almost works. Plus Dillon Jones is there despite not doing much so it feels right
And Oklahoma born Jeremy Sochan.
I enjoy watching Spurs fans lose their mind way more.
Honestly, this has been a super enjoyable playoffs all things considered lol
CHET GOT MORE RINGS THAN THAT BUM. WEMBY STAY LOSING
Never been a better time to join Chet FC, our ring picks up 😏
Excuse me this is on loop on the TV in my house, not just in r/thunder
Yeah the new look Thunder are going to be hard to deal with next season, they have so much trade capital
Chet FC at all time high. Also who has the most blocks in a game 7 finals 🤭
LOL
Wemby is in Asia shadow boxing in the rain rn
With a Hood on, screaming at the wind.
performative boss 101
Has his wired earbuds and matcha right beside him
off topic but the recent wired earbuds resurgence is so damn odd to me, like i had those when i was 12 & even then i thought they sucked. forget the sound quality even, just getting them snagged on a doorknob & ripped out hurt so much. they can pry my airpod pros out of my cold dead ears
Tucking the wire under the shirt was elite though
under the hoodie at school so you could lean your head into one of your hands and listen without the teacher noticing
Eh, I dunno. Wireless is nice, but wired was all we had for half my life, and it never bothered much.
Wemby sitting in the corner like the crazy Anime Kid writing a blog on Xanga like I sawwww youuuu
Jesus this triggered some MySpace PTSD
Lmao
We thought Wemby was the air bender
No. He’s turning into the fire lord next season
lol we might look back at this as like a Harambe moment when the NBA timelines diverged
I wanna be a super saiyan! I wanna! I wanna iwannnaiwannaiwanna
TFS forever
Maybe he can meditate on the secret to not being a punkass
Vegeta standing in the rain vibes
in b4 Wemby trains with US Army this summer and says shit like “Be all you can be” during his next NBA interview
Wemby coming back next season mastering Sage Mode
Wemby is doing shoryukens underneath a waterfall rn.
He’s gonna spend all summer pumping his vo2 max so he can play for more than two quarters
And just like that the Ghost of Trae Young was freed from The Garden.
nahh thats gonna be on repeat till the man retires. The Meme will not ever end.
The crazed guy outside msg saying “Trae young looks like my dads dick” will live rent free in my head until the end of time.
Bro literally got a role in Marty supreme off that video
That line got him a supporting role in Marty Supreme
What’s Haliburton’s rep with your fan base now?
He a light skin herb
Probably would’ve been real bad had he not immediately tore his Achilles the series after the choking sign and we proceed to win the championship the following year.
Hali is too inconsistent and too much of a front runner to be hated in NYC to that extent.
yea i can’t lie that shit was hilarious
it’s never going to die. Rangers have a chant about an Islanders player who retired in the 80s
Who did not, in fact, suck.
Uh yes he did. They had to stop playing a song at the garden because the fans started chanting “beat your wife Potvin, beat your wife, dun dun”.
Maybe he was good at hockey but the dude sucked as a person.
It ain’t ending with his retirement. Thats going to get passed down for generations until all record is lost of who ‘Tre Ung’ was, with many believing he never existed and was just a metaphor.
Trae Young is STILL not valid in Dyckman
It’s a sign of respect.
Hell even Trae knew/knows that.
woulda been funny if jalen said fuck trae young instead
Times Square was still chanting about Trae Young, I think the hatred has evolved into it’s own thing
I love seeing players openly dislike each other, it’s how iconic rivalries are formed
This series did really feel like old school basketball.
I love Steph Curry and all of the other 3 point shooters this league has now. But I’m glad there are still remnants of that physical basketball back.
I mean the Cavs had the Warriors cake, there was stuff between the warriors and Cavs in the offseason. And dont forget Curry mocking LeBron’s gym routine.
And Tristan Thompson allegedly slapping the shit out of draymond
Wait what lol ive never heard this
It looks like they actually did have a squabble. They both briefly speak about on draymond podcast.
Every one of my friends (late 30s- mid 40s) was into this series. That definitely hasn’t been the case for the last decade or so
I’m probably biased as a Knicks fan but honestly, just going down the court and heaving it is boring. Give me lower scoring games with variety every single time.
Heaving it is different than being the greatest shooter to ever play the game hitting shots that look fake at the highest percentage of all time lol.
If you didn’t enjoy watching curry hit 400 3s in a season you don’t like basketball.
Brunson didn’t say it and he is shaking his head. It’s called having fun.
He did say it.
It is him who says it - you can slow it down, and also look at the guy close across from him who looks and reacts to him saying it immediately after.
Agreed.
Makes it a lot more fun.
Wemby started it, and it wasn’t even this series. Wemby chucked the game ball into the stands when Brunson scored 60.
Someone wasn’t supposed to have their phone out. You’re not getting invited back to the next event
The zoomer brain can’t resist.
The phone toasts first
Yeah this is a crazy breach of trust lol, it’s an unwritten rule not to record shit like this at parties
Brunson completely justified in that comment though. Wemby committed two flagrant fouls on him none of which were called
He also chucked the game ball into the stands when Brunson scored 60.
He’s such a bitch omfg
you don’t justification for shit like this, Trae Young didn’t play dirty but Knicks fans always say fuck Trae Young everytime he is back in MSG, it’s basketball they can say fuck anyone, fuck you even, see
There’s other phones out and cameras flashing, Jalen don’t give a fuck lol
I think the rule is less “don’t record,” more “don’t upload anything that could paint the player in a negative light.”
This is going to lead to an extremely curated story of how Wemby reads The Art of War every morning in his hyperbaric chamber to get in the right mindset for revenge
I thought Wemby’s exaggerated statements were from him being French with English as a second language. Had no idea he had a hyperbolic chamber doing it to him
hyperbolic chamber
We had to take the L out to give it to them
famous Sun Tzu quote “if your enemy has the advantage, miss clutch free throws and take contested jumpers”
“when the only thing that can ensure your enemy’s defeat is a lack of time, ensure you consistently chuck 3s four seconds into the shot clock to give them more of it”
The Athletic boys firing up the typewriters for their hero worship.
I get the feeling that Wembanyama is going to leave a lot of his contemporaries feeling some type of way about him, and not in a good way.
Good. The super friends era was cool… but we was losin recipes. It’s time to bring negativity back.
Yeah, always felt weird when the players would all shake hands and be buddy-buddy after a game ended. Like it was just a 9-5 for them and they didn’t really care how it went either way. This is way more entertaining.
This is so weird to me. Isn’t shaking hands and being respectful exactly what we teach kids when they learn to play sports? Why is it that we actively push the people at the pinnacle of a game we use to teach kids sportsmanship to… be unsportsmanlike?
Agreed. Like I think it’s weird that players don’t line up and shake hands after a game. Did it as kids, did it in adult competitive team sports. In rugby we bash the hell out of each other for 80 minutes and usually there’s some scuffles, and then we shake hands after and home team buys the beer.
You don’t have to be friends but you can be decent.
Seriously like people want this to be like actual war lmao
They act like we can’t have competitiveness without genuine hatred for each other
hopefully. would finally give some personality to the modern NBA
Nah, they all need to be friends and play at little basketball as possible
Shit I hope
I think its dope. Its been so long since we’ve had a legit NBA villain
Yeah like all these smooth brains so quick to judge a 22 year old leading his team to his first finals.
Wemby tried to injure Brunson lol
Fuck Wemby tbh
As big a Wemby fan as i am, Brunsons got every right to toast to that lmao. Mf got two uncalled flagrants on him. That first one especially wouldve pissed me tf off too.
Brunson needed to headbutt him on the balls after his first uncalled flagrant on him.
He comes off really well in off-court interviews. Introspective, low-ego, thoughtful analysis. Very “beyond his years” for such a young player.
But the guy I saw on the court this series was a little punk. Got cocky when things were going well. Looked and acted shaken as hell when things went South. And he pulled some really dirty shit when he got upset.
I don’t think he’s some secret villain con artist. He’s just an immature player who keeps getting away with flagrants and therefore has no external motivation to control himself better.
They need to start holding him accountable for dirty plays before he hurts someone badly, if not via the refs then via some players stepping into hockey/80s basketball-style “enforcer” roles. He’s not going to mature how he needs to with Zen meditation or whatever.
Tried to injure him twice. Shove to the head and then attempted to Zaza him
I don’t think Wemby tried to injure Brunson on the close out, he didn’t jump out exaggeratedly or anything, look at the clip. Should it have been a foul and fragrant? Yes. The head shove, now that’s bad and fully agree. We don’t have to binary about the NBA y’all.
Common sense on this sub ? You’re asking too much bro
the league threw a fucking fit when it happened to kawhi (on the spurs ironically). did wemby’s play even get upgraded afterwards?
There’s nothing to upgrade because the season is over. 4 flagrants is postseason specific, it’s not something that would carry to next year.
I’m sure the league office popped champagne not having to make a decision on it though.
He did some Isiah Thomas sh– and even walked off the court without shaking hands.
exactly, dude looks like an actual baguette 🥖
Wemby tried to injure Brunson TWICE
And still, Brunson walked over to shake his hand at the end. But Wemby walked off the court
The first thing Brunson did while his entire team was celebrating was shake Mitch Johnson’s hand. You know that he takes that seriously.
Coming from Brunson, that’s an understandable comment
Yeah, can’t fault Brunson of all people to have that sentiment after being hacked by Wemby the entire finals lol
He did try to injure him.
Hacking is at least still basketball.
I would too if Wemby threw the ball in the stands instead of giving me the game ball after scoring 61
Looking forward to the future opening day or Christmas Day games between the spurs and the Knicks.
Honestly shaping up to be an all-time rivalry
Yal have like 3 rivals right now.
Surely this will be civil discourse in here
Bro, this is rnba. This is one of the few subs that’s not curated by mostly bots. And Knicks fans are posting/commenting 24⁄7 for the next 6 months.
Of course it’ll get rowdy.
Shit I was happy for the Knicks but the fans are so unlikable lol. I just need to stay off these subs in the offseason I think
The funniest thing was I saw a Knicks fan yesterday saying “now they’re trying keep us quiet”
Like who bro lmaooo
Uhh no there are a healthy amount of commenting and posting bots in here
Smoking that Spurs pack
Can’t blame them. Wemby had no class this series
[removed]
Wemby is definitely having a 2012 Lebron season next year.
Yeah I’m just glad we got this one before he goes super saiyan.
How I felt after KD signed with the warriors lol
Nah fuck that
LeBron from 2015-18 deserved 2 in CLE
Warriors were bitch made after signing KD
I mean yeah I obviously agree lol
we need Victor Von Doom to come out next year and make this shit interesting
Victor Wembanyama will return in Avengers: Doomsday.
He’s not LeBron lol
Correct he’s not, he’s just a 7’4 Frenchman that will be going on a revenge tour after all this shit talking.
Needs cardio to finish games that his body literally cannot support at 7’4 and having arms 8 feet wide
Unless he goes through a massive body comp change this off-season and does the Steph Curry and Jimmy Butler conditioning programs , he’s going to run into the same problems next season
This summer he’ll train with the Shaolin Monks for 14 days instead of 10
In response, Wemby about to fly to Japan and get trained in the art of the shinobi and become the worlds first teenage mutant ninja giraffe all while it just so happens to be perfectly documented and written about.
That’s incredible lmao
Love this as a Spurs fan. Keep the rivalries going it’s good for the NBA and Wemby feeds on hate. Maybe he can hate Bruson as much as Chet hahaha
I don’t blame him. How many cheap shots did Wemby take on Brunson?
Cheap shots and physical play is one thing.
Refusing to congratulate your opponent after they beat you is some real sore loser shit and wouldn’t sit right with me if I’m Brunson.
That’s where I presume this sentiment comes from. Pretty classless, given the first thing Brunson did was go to hug it out with Mitch Johnson and other Spurs players (notably Fox and Kornet) did apparently congratulate the team after the trophy celebration.
inject the beef into my veins tbh
I mean hell Wemby did strong arm him in the neck back area
Can’t tell the spurs sub that. They think Brunsons the villain now because of this clip 😂😂😂
oh boy… why tf would someone post this
Cause fuck wemby
Winners get to talk their shit. That’s just how it goes.
If this ends up being the rivalry that dominates the rest of this decade, I’m gonna be just fine with that.
I’m all for real rivalries again.
I’m tired of the NBA being grown up AAU friends.
Love this shit more than life itself
Twice now, Brunson has tried to shake hands with Wemby after beating him in a series and he walked away. He doesn’t owe him any respect at this point
Did Wemby not speak highly of Brunson in some of his French answers?
The issue is nobody cares. People want to ride for negativity and hate in all facets of online media.
Someone’s gotta be the villain and Victor Von Doom has entered the game. Can’t wait to see the havoc unfold next year.
He was very complimentary. Said he wants to learn to control the game like Brunson.
Wemby on that natural Villain Arc that Dillon Brooks can only dream of
Wemby hate is getting more attention than the Knicks ring, I can’t wait for him to come back and piss yall off even more
lol what
Not for me, never in my life did I get to see the Knicks win, I’m enjoying this teams run for years. Anything additional is a bonus
These Spurs about to turn into the second coming of the 1990 Detroit Pistons, watch.
They’re about to break bad
Wemby legit tried to dog him twice I’m not even surprised or mad at this 😂
