Kon Knueppel spends the offseason playing basketball with his devout younger brothers, Kager, Kinston, Kash, and Kidman, at his home court, the Konplex, which he named after his father, Big Kon.
Lmao “devout younger brothers” sounds weird
Like they’re strangely into being younger brothers
Everything in that title sounds weird.
Sounds Mormon af
Looks Mormon too
The little kid mentioning being grateful to god for something without being asked anything was super weird. Someone told him to squeeze that in.
“Spends the offseason playing basketball with” is pretty normal.
Then it gets weird.
True, but I forgot about that by the time my brain had been able to decipher the rest.
I reread the headline after you responded and realized I totally missed the “Konplex.”
These people would be dangerous if they never found basketball
I’m still stuck on Kidman.
Classic “adjective-noun####” username post.
The title makes me feel very uncomfortable, like I need to be at least 1000 miles away from it
The Konplex.
Just, no notes
Kon Kneuppel’s Konplex
Hmmmm
They’ve selected Luigi before the game has even finished loading
You can now hoop as Luigi. (A)
And they’re referring to him as Kuigi. Watch out.
Knueppel is the oldest of five boys, and his brothers’ names—in order of birth—are Kager, Kinston, Kash and Kidman
This is some Ricky Bobby-ass level shit
Male kardashians…
Kidman should marry Kidman and have a kid man.
Sounds weird but then I watched the video and I’m not sure how else to describe them tbh
Devout is usually used to mean religious. Are they maybe super religious?
Yeah but usually its specified devout Christian or devout Muslim or whatever. I mean they’re obviously Christian from context but just a little odd usage of the term.
You mean “kontext” 👀
After reading the names, I took it to mean, devout idiots.
i think they’re devout christians and also younger brothers to kon
Probably written by ai…
performative being a younger brother
you might say disciples
I mean the brothers are all named weird k shit of course the family is weird too
Giving off Righteous Gemstones vibes
I’m really close to my family and siblings. They are some of my best friends. I don’t think it’s weird to be committed to your family. I do think the norm (in America at least) is to not be close to your family so I understand why it seems weird.
I’m an atheist but honestly this shit is cool as hell and I appreciate how they described Christianity as just making them work hard and be better people
I think they’re devoutly religious?
Would dya look at that. A virtue signaling circle jerking trash😂😂
Lotta virtue signaling going on in the Abrahamic faiths too.
Kinston Knueppel
Istanbul not kinston knueppel
Byzantine ass joke
Fucking hell this is gold. I’m chuckling.
Haha man I hope that’s a reference most people still get - I loved the They Might Be Giants version when I was a kid: https://youtu.be/0XlO39kCQ-8

Bravo. No idea if you came up with this yourself but I love it so much
I just said his name out loud and the rest is history
You’re a funny guy, I like you. You can come over and f my sister
You need more credit for this masterpiece.
I’ll take my pulitzer any day now
Honestly I hope you feel great about this comment, truly one of the best I’ve seen in a while
Pardon my stupid Internet comment but I believe you have won reddit today
I’ll be waiting in Istanbul

Big areola
Big Nip!
Man took that middle school roast personally and branded the entire bloodline
Konker Nipple
Hearing ppl pronounce it “Nuppel” or “Kippel” was so weird to mea, I legit didn’t know what was meant, specifically because its a german word (Knüppel, ue = ü) and K and N are both pronounced.
The K don’t be silent
The absolute panic of making sure that K is silent every single time you say his name
It’s a sex cult
Kidman, huh? I too was a big fan of the WCW Cruiserweight division.
They never bring up their daughter, KroniK
There’s still room at the house for Konnan and Kanyon
Don’t forget about K-Kwik.
Fuck and Kwee Wee
Kanyon/Mortis had the sickest moves on the N64
who bettah?
also in real life
Who names their kids these names. Good grief
Giving mormon vibes
Naming your kid after Nicole Kidman is awesome
But he’s a kid, man
She’s stunningly beautiful. Or was. She’s done so much shit to her face her muscles have stopped exhibiting a wide range of motion. It’s really sad.
I think people need to start being supervised when naming their kids, things are getting out of control. Need to have a child services rep in the room ready to veto any nonsense. Job creation, stupid ass name reduction, win win
Quiverfulls
George Foreman named all his sons George.
His five sons are George Jr., George III (“Monk”), George IV (“Big Wheel”), George V (“Red”), and George VI (“Little Joey”).
I got lost in rabbit hole there for a second looking up Duke-bound Kager. I guess these kids all played with themselves/lots of family in school - I shit you not apparently there is a cousin named Zavier Zens…
Everyone’s so creative
Ummm wut? Lol. George Foreman would like a word.
Yeah, the NBA is so sane with player names, this is outrageous!
That’s why I named my baby boys Psychosis and La Parka.
“Father, why am I named Screamin’ Norman Smiley?”
“Well son, when you were conceived I was performing a maneuver called ‘The Bog Wiggle’ and the rest is history.”
Can I bring my son Ultimo Dragon over to play?
I have a Lil’ Juventud Guerrera at home.
Personally I had to go with Horace “Scuffed Steve Austin” Hogan
Meet my baby boy, El Dandy
Who are you to doubt El Dandy?
Alex Wright
Put some respect on his name. He bagged Tori Wilson
Shooting Star baby!
He was wild as shit with it too. Kneeing guys constantly - haha.
Half Kid, Half Man
Yeah, my son Kwee Wee loves these guys.
The 7 year itch lives on
Yessir Billy Kidman! YKB
Why is the dad not King Kon?
You’re asking a lot for people who named their kid Kidman
Yeah, weird not to go with kidbaby
That’s just poor planning
Is this technically an oxymoron?
I just thought the name was uncreative, no need to insult the kid, man.
Henny youngman is and old man
or grand wizard
Chill on me 😭
Major miss there
King Kon ain’t got shit on me
Maybe he was worried about GD rappers misreading the K as a V
I wonder what their middle names are
Kon’s middle name is literally II apparently. Like Kon Knueppel II instead of junior but it’s Kon II Knueppel.

You’re welcome.
Is that spelled with two i’s?
Yes Roman numerals
II Kon 2 Knueppel Tokyo drift is one of my favorites in the series
I don’t know if this is true but I immediately believed it lol
Unfortunately the only source is a random Twitter sports journalist I think.
I saw Kon himself say it in a pre-draft interview. I think the one with Numbers on the Board.
I heard it’s Istanbul now.
Kinda fire honestly. I think naming your kids after you is lame, but I don’t hate this attempt at making it different

By the fifth kid the parents thought people might be onto them
A girl I went to hs with her first and last name started with a k and I was always curious what her middle name was. She was super rude so I never found out but still curious
Klan?
probably X. so when they get accused of spelling out ‘kkk’ they’ll just go, no, the middle letter is ‘X’. KXK! loophole!

Hopefully not a K name
If at least two more of his brothers make it to the NBA I’m predicting there’ll be a very unfortunate nickname flying around…
Kager has committed to Duke already. He’s class of ‘27. 6’10” sniper
15th ranked in his class and a 4 star (Kon was 18th but was also a 5 star—that class was nutty deep: Flagg, Ace Bailey, Dylan Harper, Maluach, Edgecombe, Tre Johnson, Jayden Quaintance, Liam McNeeley, and Derrick Queen were 9 of the guys ahead of him and all of them but McNeeley and Quaintance were lotto picks, and both were still first rounders)
If that class doesn’t end up historically great then I don’t even know
And I remember thinking it was top heavy with Flagg… I know nothing Jon snow
Jayden Quaintance
If bro gets healthy soon man…
terrifying
Can’t wait
Kager is a really good shooter, but he cannot do anything else on the court. Cement shoes and can’t even create his own shot.
Yeah I mean if he could do anything else he’d be much more highly ranked.
I think a problem would arise if just one more joined. The Kon Kager klan, Kon Kinston Klan, Kon Kash Klan.
Kingston Klan Kollective
Triple Knueppel on the more wholesome side of things 😂
Kidman wins the 2036 all star 3 point contest. You heard if here first
They have got a full klan huh
Must have been awkward for a bit after the third one was born.

“No honey YOU don’t understand. We really don’t.”

When the Canadian company “Circle K” bought Norwegian Statoil gas stations in Sweden, and maybe some other places in Europe - not sure, they hoisted their flags, without moving the flagpoles that were there already, until they realised their mistake.
https://imgur.com/a/vxAnVXz
Was pretty funny and we made a big deal out of it here in the media. If they all make it to the NBA we should name them the Sextuple Ks, and they should embrace the Canadian petrolium marketing team.
Well “devout” was an odd choice of phrasing but I guess they’re devout about something.
It’s a dicey amount of Ks
His sister is Konstance Klanny Knueppel
Yeahhh what are their middle initials???
All hanging out at the Kneuppel Klan Konplex
Their father and three uncles all have K names, too.
Klan Knueppel
I think I’m confused on what’s going on. One thing is true, this gotta be the whitest family I’ve ever seen.
I’m white and this family makes me look like Manute Bol
Top comment right here folks
Yeah somehow they took the kake over the Mormons.
There are scientists working fervently under BYU to regain their edge
Hey, kuiet down and kuit with that
Who doesn’t love the Kool Kon Klan??
It goes deeper, from his brother wiki “As a junior, Knueppel teamed with two of his brothers, Kinston and Kash, as well as his cousin Zavier Zens.”
What is wrong with that whole klan lmao?
Sam Merrill over in Cleveland lookin’ like he’s from Oakland all of a sudden.
Welcome to Wisconsin!
I got Sage Northcutt vibes.
This is the ball family but white
This is sending me right back to the similar interview they did years ago.
That backyard court is very reminiscent of the one the Balls had.
You know, the one that probably contributed to Lonzo’s knee problems.
I’m more blaming the BBB shoes for that tbh
As opposed to LaMelo’s ankle problems?
I live near their house. Its in a nice city but they definitely dont (didn’t i should say now) have money like the Ball family did before the NBA. That court is like at a dead end kind of in a pretty small normal subdivision. And its pretty small. Looks bigger on tv. I stumbled upon it delivering packages a year ago. Was cool to see I was so close.
One of those brother were playing in the Vomero Plus I can’t think of a worse shoe to play basketball in. I’d blow a hip/knee/ankle out within 30min if I tried to ball in those clouds.
Then I’m gonna need to see them top this:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Nbamemes/s/7xdbRr1D36
I think the Dad isn’t as crazy though. I think these kids, even if they don’t make the NBA will end up being productive members of society
I wonder why youd think that /s
LaVar Ball is just a nut case
He’s just doing hype man type of stuff. Nothing “crazy” about him, not any more than Muhammad Ali or Don King were when they talked.
He doesn’t really believe he can beat MJ one-on-one. He just says those things to bring attention to himself and his sons. And he was right about his sons, all of them got to the NBA and two were drafted pretty highly.
i wish my dad was half as involved and willing to speak half as highly about me as lavar was for his sons is all i will say
Lavar is a dedicated dad who did more for his kids than most parents can hope for but he’s crazy because he’s passionate and they put a mic in his face? He was a pillar in his community before you ever had an idea of who he was.
Watch how they get praised 😂😂😂
Kager plays like Kon but is 6’10”, bro.
Kon+, incoming.
Scrolled down past 30 comments to finally find this normal comment, actually related to the content, not making fun of their names or family.
It it pronounced like “cage-er” or “codger”?
first one
Kay-ger, not kay-jer
Was wondering how many of the bros gonna pan out
they’re all highly ranked. Might not make the nba but they will all go D1 unless kidman stops growing at 5’10 or something
Kager is a great defender as well…
“Kager” is a horrible name, holy shit.
Kash might be worse but yes
Kash is just the Indian one
Ka$h
I actually went to school in rural South Carolina with a kid named Kash, and his parents were loaded funny enough lol.
richie rich
I mean these parents are the ironclad GOATs of terrible names. Just insane work right down the line.
konpound annual growth rate
absolute certainty his college nickname is Kager-meister
Do… do we pronounce it with a hard ‘g’?
Kegger
“Kager, y’know like how people say the acronym for Compound Annual Growth Rate”
Woman he’s been talking to walks away quickly
“We’re not hosting an intergalactic Kager”
Honestly I think that one may be the best of his brothers lol, all of the them suck. Kidman?? Come on what is that shit lmao
A ‘cager’ is an old name for a basketball player because they played in cages. So Kager is a pretty good name for a hooper. 🤷♂️
And they’re somehow not mormon?
Mormons: our culture is not your costume
Just as weird, ultra conservative lutherans (WELS)
From AI: WELS practices strict “fellowship” rules and they won’t share communion with, or even pray alongside, Christians outside its fellowship (including most other Lutherans).
Women cannot serve as pastors or hold authority over men in the church. In most congregations, women also cannot vote.
Some former members describe a high-control environment, strong pressure toward conformity, and strained family relationships after leaving.
Sounds lovely.
I grew up in a WELS church, the AI summary is accurate.
reinventing catholicism
There are plenty of churches where only men can be priests
The only real difference is who gets to talk to baby jesus. Otherwise Lutherans are just Catholics who got kicked out of Europe.
a cult, tell it how it is
kult
And people think the “k” thing is just a koincidence lol.
No shot it is lol
lmao it’s like Kristian Taliban
Man religion is whack, can’t help but think humanity would be much better off if we never created religion
Religion is inherently human, though. Our brains are wired to want search for answers. We want them so badly that when we can’t find them we create them. So unless we ever have answers to literally everything, I think there is no escaping religion.
Eh, am WELS, while communion isn’t shared with non-WELS (similar to Catholics), prayer is most definitely shared with non-members.
The women part is true, my wife, nor I, for that matter, care too much about the goings on so it’s not a huge deal for us. Women still give input but when it comes to voting on things like budget/staffing they don’t get a say.
I was raised Catholic, WELS in my experience is about as close to Catholicism compared to other Lutheran sects, just without a lot of the pomp and circumstance that a Catholic service has.
Input on voting? They dont get to vote for themselves?
Are they allowed to have jobs/financial independence, or just hope you dont ruin their lives?
Thanks for your perspective. You could be right. However, my gut tells me that a lot of it seems pretty normal because you’re from within the system. Like when you say “women still give input”. This may seem pretty egalitarian to you but if an outsider saw the process first hand they would likely be shocked.
WELS in my experience is about as close to Catholicism compared to other Lutheran sects
I’m not Catholic but I work at a Catholic university. My guess is a big difference is that a huge contingent of Catholics are only culturally Catholic and not very religious. Some of my students are devout, of course, but relatively very few. I suspect that’s less true for WELS.
Is that one of the variations of “protestant takes on Christianity so extreme that even the other protestants of Europe decided they were a bit much” that the US seems to have so many of?
Making their own church ball team the way god intended
There’s very little Mormons in Wisconsin.
what AI wrote this title? who tf describes a brother/sister as devout?
Devout Christians bud
Kristian
Devout?
Well they were talking about how important it is to be “good Christian dudes”
Easiest way to tell someone isn’t a good Christian dude lol
Just showing off how well they take orders
How on earth can you tell that from saying that?
It’s literally in the bible man
Oh at least one of them is gonna make headlines in college.
Yeah I was confused by that word choice as well
Just some good Christian dudes
*Kristian
They gave themselves the nickname The Krazy Kristian Kids.
Ahhhh. It all makes sense.
On the internet, nobody knows you’re 14 and posting videos on /r/nba
10⁄10 title by OP in my opinion.
Followers of Khrist
Devout followers of Khrist Middleton
*Kevout
To each other. Like the brother and sister in the Folger’s commercial.
Khrist.

“King Kon anit got shit on me! “
“You Motherfuckas will be playing basketball in Pelican Bay, when I get finish with you!”
That eould most significant off-season move by Pelicans this year
Does King Kon beat GodzilLaVar Ball?
Same as the Korver family. Dad is Kevin. Obviously we know Kyle. Kyle’s brothers are Klayton, Kaleb, and Kirk
Ya can’t really stop at 3 in that situation.
It’s 2 or it’s infinite
😂 still not as bad as Steve Kerr’s son
Im still convinces this one was a lost bet
However Kyle’s middle name is Elliot, clearly guys family didn’t want to appear as white supremacists
Kaleb and Kirk are at least register ass names, way better than shit like fuckin Kidman lmao
Is register ass a southern thing?
Goddamn, supposed to say regular ass but I clearly fucked it up on my phone and it corrected to register lmao
Ain’t nothin korrect about autokorrect!!! 😂
I don’t think he actually is, but this is very mormon coded
he’s Lutheran
I feel like that’s close but I also have no understanding of the differences between denominations besides mormons and jehovahs being top notch weirdos and baptists being very angry at everything
Here is is bro:
16th century Martin Luther had an issue with Catholic Church, due to ability to “pay to be pardoned” bullshit
He also argued for modernization of Christianity - every time has it’s own issues, Catholic is too much into tradition, doesnt deal with modern stuff
So, the dude came up with one of the most elegant ways of intepreting Christianity, of all times:
“Justificatio Sola Fide”
Salvation through faith alone
No need for deeds, works, rules, just the faith is enough.
That’s basically what Jesus said, when he spoke of Holy Spirit - that’s the one that matters
And then he proceeds to make instant mistake and bind himself into a biggest of traps -
“Sola Scriptura”
As only Authority. Bible, nothing else
He released European Christians from the Imperial Authority, only to return to it’s roots, claiming Bible as sole Authority - the same Bible that was composed by said Romans, 1000 years before, the same Bible that was heavily cherry-picked for Romans to easily rule and subdue people, and the same Bible that basically installs FEAR of God as the main message, rather than LOVE (Which as Jesus’ entire point, btw )
That caused the issue - “You are free to believe through faith alone, but only with Bible” - yeah bro, but Which Bible then ?
Which opened the flood-gates for Protestant movement to be separated into instant-swarm of denominations, of which 6 are the largest:
Lutheran (Sola Fide, Sola Scriptura)
Reformed and Presbyterian (same as Lutheran with extra-praise for God)
Anglican / Episcopal Churches (Middle ground between catholic and Lutheran)
Methodist Churches (Heavy emphasize on bible study and prayer and hyping it all up)
Evangelical (20th century removed from Protestant, main thing is personal relation to God, and concept of “born again” Christian)
Black Protestant movement (developed through the experiences of slavery and segregation, with unique practices like Choir singing and pastor going all singing-religious and preachy :) )
One collective trait of Protestants is that they are most likely to accept everyone else and not be dicks about it. Even with many denominations they still remain globally one of the finest and truest Christian movements, along with Orthodox (that has it’s own skeletons like overly-traditional bulshit and archaic practices and beliefs )
Blacks who are devoted had replaced suffering with song and dance. Evangelists are actually happy in their activism and attempt to share Christ’s message and love.
Had only Luther realized the danger of “Sola Scriptura” we could have had the best possible way of following Christ, but hey, at least he gave middle finger to Imperial / Catholic version of the story, that wants you to fear God, and to buy a new Audi for a priest to disolve yourself from Sin
Thank you bro I learnt something new about Christians/Christianity today
I’m not interested in this franchise enough to read all that lore
Lutherans accept everyone.
Mormons didn’t let black ppl in their church until the 70s.
But yeah, this is just normal rich aau family stuff. Honestly not harmful.
I like Kon and I think it’s going to be a trip watching this video back when they all make it
These people are Mormon. They just don’t know it yet. Kinda like closeted Mormon.
the only athlete to ever be more obviously Mormon is Britain Covey.
r/tragedeigh
I kept scrolling until I found someone who commented this lol. Absolutely yes.
why do they all kinda look like Austin Reaves
Are they related to Ken Keniff from Connecticut?
Dude, thank you! I’ve been waiting for somebody to say this the whole time since they showed them at the draft!!!
Aaaaameeenn
No but they are 3rd cousins with the Kardashians.
Kid Kash and Billy Kidman, the Crusierweight Champions.
How Konvenient
The naming process of some parents are so weird
Devout is a weird word to use here lol
Not only are they all K names, but they also skipped over the obvious ones. Kevin? Kenneth? Karl? Nope, let’s name a kid after Keith Urban’s ex-wife (Keith!?).
I think i see Bill Simmons in the background ready to drive these boys to Dave and Busters once they’re done goofing around in the drive way
The KKKKs
I don’t trust any family that has a naming convention like this
Reminds me of R Mason Thomas who was just drafted into the NFL earlier this year. The R in his first name doesn’t stand for anything. His mother has a family tradition of kids names starting with R, but she also really liked the name Mason, so she named him R Mason.
The lengths some people will go with this sort of thing is truly concerning sometimes.
Don’t think this is Kwhite the same
White people don’t have a monopoly on stupid naming conventions for their kids
it is the same…weirdos about naming their kids
At least R Mason Thomas sounds like an old author or something. 😂
Lol “Based on an R Mason novel..”
I can hear the voiceover now for the movie trailer.
Yeah or like L Ron Hubbard lol
I kinda like it. Shows how the range of names. They are at one end of the spectrum… and then someone with the last name Smith decides to name their boy John. lol.
It sounds like someone saying the word Ameisen, which is german for ants, with an american accent. I dont know what that means
Same with U. L. Washington
Oh my God you just reminded me we had a kid in our school who was named R. Now I gotta look this shit up what if it’s the same dude.
It is in fact not the same dude but what a weird coincidence
Rougned Odor
This is giving Homer J Simpson
He has uncles Klint Klay and Kole according to wiki.
They’re named like a gang of “K” themed villains from a Marvel comic.
And yet not a single Kyle or Kevin like a normal white family…
Every name is KKK… seemingly
Good Christian dude aka White Christian Nationalist?
Those two boat row pretty close to each other nowadays.
I mean, it just begs the question every time, “so what’s the middle name?”. Like with Klint Kubiak and Kliff Kingsbury. They could have just spelled the first name that normal way and no one would have had to worry.
“Krusty’s Komedy Klassic”
They still dont conpare to Frank Reich III
I know triplets with the last name Reich.
And Steve Kerr knew damn well his son was never gonna go by Nicholas.
That one is baffling to me. Like it’s easy to just meme on it, but when you actually take a step back and think about it for a second, he had to know, right? Like I don’t see a way you can miss that when you’re musing over what to name your kid.
Kon’s middle name appears to be the Roman numerals II.
and K just happens to be the 11th letter in the alphabet
Kon’s middle name is just the Roman numeral for 2. I think it was because they didn’t want him to be a junior or something
It’s just a joke man. Ok, you got me. No, I didn’t actually think Kliff Kingsbury’s initials might be KKK
you people are mentally ill
It’s just a joke. No, I’ll admit I didn’t literally think their initials might be KKK. But if they were…
It’s just the kneuppel konplex kompetition?
Or parents that regularly dress their twins identically beyond the age of 3
My mom’s family is like this. My grandaddy had the initials PJB and all four of his children had the initials PJB. He was an intense mf from what I remember, but he produced four college educated black children in the deep south during the 60s-70s, so who am I to judge.
Kan Konfirm
Wait until you hear about George Foreman
Stan Lee ass naming scheme
Thank god they had the 4th kid.
My aunt actually named all of her kids with K names like this. As far as I’m aware they’re not super racist? But one of the brothers did turn out to be a rapist.. just one letter off.
Specially weird with K’s. Know a family of A’s, and it is weird but not quite this weird
They love K so much they pronounce the silent one in their last name
What about the black mma fighter Kimbo Slice who had possibly even worse names?
• Kevin Ferguson Jr. (also known as “Baby Slice”)
• Kevin Ferguson II
• Kevlar Ferguson
• Kiara Ferguson
• Kevina Ferguson
• Kassandra Ferguson
It’s not worse.
Kevlar & Kevina are close, but their last name doesn’t also start with a K
The fact that dad’s name is Kevin and he named two kids Kevin and one Kevina is pretty bad.
The still shot on the “Konplex” with flags hanging looks like something youd see on a cult complex
I assumed that’s what this was. What do they mean when they say “devout” 🤔
All hail the Church of Kon
You mean, a kult komplex.
The white flags are used as those famous white hoods at night
Nothing against the family, just a weird ass camera shot
This is a uniquely American type of white family
I mean, does anyone perform whiteness or Christianity better than Americans?
1000%. Reminds me of some of the truly bizarre Mormons I grew up around.
They’re never allowed to have just 3 of them together at any given time…
They also mention being Khristian way too much. Being good Christian dudes. Christian Christian. When unprompted.
Can’t really say it’s unprompted, it’s an edited local news segment they edited out the prompts from the reporter
And it’s explicitly mentioned in the new treatment to shut the hell up about it and just be nice.
Not really.
“Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, ”
Matthew 28:19
“Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching. ”
II Timothy 4:2
“And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. ”
Mark 16:15
Matthew 6:6 “Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of others to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.”
Nothing these guys said has anything to do with preaching the word, making disciples or baptizing to save souls. They’re simply spouting off about their how holy they are because they…like basketball? If they were out feeding the poor I wouldn’t be here talking shit about them.
Just typing shit
Bringing up being a Christian, or belonging to any religion, unprompted is the reddest of flags.
Yeah but there’s only this kind of vitriol on reddit for Christians. I doubt if this was some feature on a Muslim family it would be met with the same type of responses, which is weird considering how fundamentalist most Islamists are.
I’m atheistic towards abrahamic religions and don’t think Jesus was a real historical figure, but redditors in general only have the courage for faux controversial statements. Mocking and attacking Christians = easy.
I may be a moron but at least I have reading comprehension. Not the statement I made.
dude some of you are so miserable holy shit lmfao
At 1 point they had three sons KKK.
Also no public mention of their middle names makes it seems weird. If im naming my kid Kidman knueppel im making sure you know his middle name is Michael and not Kevin.
Honey we simply cannot stop at 3 kids due to the optics and also if we stop at 4 they’ll just say we had our 4th because of the optics so we should have 5
Except I know they just had their 5th because of optics
Oh no Yeah we definitely don’t want that…😐
First name kid middle name man
You know they all got K middle names too.
According to Google the middle names, besides Kon II, have not been publicly disclosed 🤔
Yeah lol like the Roman numeral. Instead of being Kon Knueppel Jr., they chose to name him Kon 2 Knueppel lmao. There’s a nice 2 fast 2 furious joke in there somewhere.
You motherfuckers are really weird
If the story is about an nba players basketball family and they gotta throw in how devout they are, the personality (of at least the parents and theyre hoping for the boys too)is gonna be religious fundamentalist crap. Fundamentalist wackos of all kinds are bad news
There is nothing wrong with being religious until you start with the anti-vax shit, trying to force your ideals onto others, or be part of something a little too culty.
“Nothing wrong with being religious as long as you aren’t religious”
That’s what you just said lmao. 2 out of 3 of those are literal functions of religion 😂
You can be religious and not force everyone else to follow it. Also cults imply they think for you and I think you shouldn’t follow religion blindly but I suppose for some people, it’s some form of control and stability in their life.
Sure you can, but it’s also a feature of religion to help guide and nurture other people’s journeys to find god as well. To act like that’s not part of it, is disingenuous
All religions are cults. The only difference between “religion” and “cult” is how long they’ve existed.
As a fellow white person, this family has “dad has shady contracts with the city” vibes
This headline/video definitely does no favors
I mean an unorthodox naming situation (with the letter K as initials…), “devout”, and having a name for their “Konplex” gives off huge cult vibes lmao
Just using “devout”. The only times you hear that word to describe people is when talking about cults
Yeah. There is something off about the white “K” family.
when names are so similar, it gives uncanny vibes lol
The KKKonplex.
this is a whole nother level of white
As a fellow white person, I’m hoping KK’s middle name doesn’t start with a K too.
You know people will talk shit about a family like this and yeah some of the things are weird (the naming), but they have the type of love and dedication for each other as a family that most people can only dream of. They’re a bit odd but whatever they’re doing is also working. So maybe we’re the weirdos?
christian people often have a lot of dedication for their family/church and then no one else
Most people don’t have a dedication for their family or anyone else. Just because I don’t align with their religion doesn’t mean they deserve some kind of skepticism. Think part of Reddit can’t look beyond their hate for Christianity that these are just some good people.
Ah yes, loving and dedication to family , a notoriously rare thing. What a weird and dumb generalization.
It’s inevitable that some problematic beliefs from the family are brought to light. I recall seeing that Kon follows a number of right wing media figures and given the family’s wealth and strong religious alignment, I nearly assume they donate to prominent conservative politicians and causes.
Why? 😬
Reddit and self deprecating whites need to be studied.
99% of the time when someone is being weird about their own race. It’s a white person. You did not have to announce your race. Everybody knew.
I felt it was very wholesome, I’m genuinely shocked by most people’s response to this
Reddit is full of white liberals, who are the only group have a negative self image of themselves. It’s truly bizarre
I for sure am not self depricating. All the people I have met in life, who gave their kids names way outside the norm, had some kind of superiority complex. Having the need that every kid’s name starts with the same letter, that’s just weird. Also naming that whole complex after the patriarch, you kinda get an idea how that dad is gonna tick.
I’m not saying they have issues or that they are racist (which most assumed my comment was about). I’m just saying that I don’t trust that whole situation. Doesn’t mean that I’m right, but I would treat any interaction with those folks with caution, before I make a proper assessment of em.
Look at all this acceptable racism . Reddit never disappoints
Glad your virture signaling paid off with those updoots
Well damn
This is what’s always confused me about Steve Kerr always being on the right side of history given his son’s name. There was a dude in my high school named Nick Herr and you bet your ass that dude was racist as fuck.
None of it is as bad as what Steve Kerr named his son
Too many K’s to not keep your guard up
Shut up
Fellow pale here, they guilty of something.
Don’t go there. Im unapologetically Black and it’s wrong to assume the worse because they are white.
Only rational person here so far. I don’t get it either, how is this family supposed to be giving “weird vibes”? lol
I mean, they def give off weird vibes. But anyone saying they’re probably racist because they are white and their names all start with K are just culture war obsessed morons.
Oh I wasn’t even implying they were racist. That’s just a bonus feature. Naming all your kids weird names and giving your housing situation an own name (named after the patriarch nontheless): That’s extremely weird and not in the good way
Exactly, just as insufferable as conservatives who call ever film or game that releases woke
Im absolutely convinced that there’s more decent white people in America than racists. I don’t accuse white people of being racist just for the hell of it because I’m not stupid.
I would tbh
I wouldn’t go to Horn Island with these mfers
Brother, everyone in this family has the initials KK. Literally one K off from something awful. Is it unreasonable to point out the incredibly bad vibes these people give off
I don’t assume the absolute worse outcome because of a person’s name.
Ignore these shits you’re the only sensible one here. I applaud your demeanor.
Ok so if he’s an only child sure. Kinda unfortunate but I get it. But to have 4 kids all with the initials KK. Like cmon man you have to admit there is something weird about that
Kon used to follow some of the Trump family members on IG. I think I remember seeing him like a few posts, too. I’m sure once he went pro they told him to unfollow, but I do remember people discussing it when he was in college.
Im not about to fall into the trap of being afraid of people i don’t know because they have different opinions. Im smarter than that.
Everyone else in this thread is just a fucking pitchfork mob lol. These are the same type of people that would have had an issue with Muhammad Ali changing his name back in the 60’s. Judging people they’ve never even met off of name alone
America is being divided.
They have an annual basketball Konference
Devout? What are they, worshipping him?
What does it mean for your younger brother to be devout?
People using ai because they can’t even make a title… lazy people
Are they mormons?
Nope
Kash is the only one who made it out with a decent sounding name, but unfortunately he shares it with Kash Patel
I think Kon somehow ended up with the best name out of all of them, which is really saying something
You’re only saying that because he’s in the nba
If this fam wasn’t gifted at bball it’d be a “Ok now the tuxedos seem kind of fucked up” situation
Well Patel’s real first name is Kashyap.
Thats Krazy and Kool
Sometimes you feed reddit the right content and it just shits gold.
Thats a nice house
When Kidman grows up he’ll be a Manman.
So many decent K names out there and they said nah.
Reading that entire family tree sounds like a generated AI script. Kager, Kinston, Kash, and Kidman at the Konplex built by Big Kon.
I was expecting a Kory, but they went a little crazy with the k names.
The Kon Knueppel Komplex
this is like blue chips IRL
Bros name is Kegger
I played football with a guy named Keg Super!
Nothing unusual here! Just good Klean Kristian Kinship.
Okay it’s one thing to name all your kids names that start with K, but “Kager” and “Kinston” is going a bit too far.
Kidman as a first name is absolutely crazy lol.
Kool.
I honestly don’t know which one is Kon at this point.
Living on complexes by choice is a red flag
Living on
the Kon Knueppel Konplex is even worse
This family bad
Valid
Nah they just rich
Still whack, it was weird when Kanye tried to create a “complex” and it’s weird when the Knueppels do it.
why did OP choose the word “devout”???
They’re really committed to being younger than him. They couldn’t be older than him if they tried.
And all of them succeeded at being younger than Kon. Now that’s commitment.
Probably because the video shows the brothers discussing their faith.
Some of the worst names I’ve ever heard. Kager and Kidman?
