Rip Gaffords balls
He was falling down as soon as the contact happened lol
On the replay it looks like he might have kneed him in the thigh
On the replay I saw it didn’t lol
Are we not all watching the exact same replays?
I think at :47 its the clearest replay angle
Dawg, he was literally holding his nuts and rolling on the ground… pretty sure he got hit in the nuts lmao
Nuts
“He’s singing soprano now” in my Stu Lantz voice😂
Poor man
Gafford is having an awesome night contesting him at the rim and then this happened man Jesus Christ
Giannis had a 20-10-10 triple double in the beginning of the third but that’s an awesome night from Gafford? Plus he’s got a flagrant and a tech.
edit: 10-15 from the field but great job Gafford
I said awesome contesting him at the rim not overall…there were a couple of times where Giannis went up at the rim and Gafford met him and denied it or forced a miss
This is by far the most in sync Giannis and the Heat have looked and I’m enjoying the hell out of it
Brother he’s 10-15 from the field
Damn Heat fans it’s only been 3 losses your this insecure about the guy already??
You ever heard of “good defense better offense”?
And your team 0-4 from the NBA league!!! Trash????
At “contesting him at the rim”
Oh no! My team’s center couldn’t shutdown checks notes Giannis Antetkounmpo. I for one, am shocked. Flabbergasted even. When you’re dealing with superstars, your best hope is to make their life difficult and Gafford did as good a job of that tonight as you could ask. That’s the point.
The true Landlord experience.
Huh?
Daniel Gafford’s nickname is The Landlord.
He has the habit of being incredibly aggressive at the rim, meaning you get high highs and dirty poster lows.
Ah I wasnt aware of that nickname, thanks
And this is all people will remember
Giannis just made sure Gafford can’t have kids anymore lol
Ant be like “do me next”
Zion’s one remaining fan in NOLA has all their hopes resting on Giannis bringing this treatment to the Smoothie King center
Gafford gets all my respect though because AINT NO FUCKIN WAY I’d ever attempt going head up with Giannis going downhill. 99% of players would have made a business decision and got the fuck outta the way 😂😂
Monster dunk.
Giannis is the worst kind of big/fast/strong mfer to go against too becaue you can tell by the way he runs that he doesn’t give a fuck about your safety or his own😂 . He is getting to the basket and if he has to end a career, yours or his, to get there, so be it 😂😂 .
Yup. I don’t care if you get dunked on. I care that you went for it. Sure good on them for still making it but I think it’s much worse to just bitch out than to get dunked on. People “dunk” on the person who got dunked on undeservedly. Just hype up the dunker. I’ve only been dunked on once who wasn’t my high school coach, he was 6ft 8 and like 225 pounds at least. But it was this 6ft 8 high school kid and he got the ball at mid court with me who is 6ft 3. I wasn’t letting him get it easy but yeah… Turned out how you would think even though my fucking elbow hit the rim lol jumped higher than I ever had I swear. Ah well.
Oh forsure I agree and respect the effort. But in this particular scenario I’m not even worried about the “embarrassment” of getting dunked on at all. That’s part of the game. Everyone who plays foreal gets dunked on eventually. I’m worried about getting injured lol.
Thats what I’m saying as far as making a business decision. Giannis is not the one to try and make a play like this on in this scenario. Let him have his two points and defend him better to prevent this scenario next time lol it ain’t worth the injury risk +/- the and-1 lol.
I respect anyone why tries though for sure but shit that’s risky lol. That’s a big man moving real fast. The physics is not on your side😂
Yeah this one in particular and person for sure ha ha usually you know when you can kinda jump up with them if you know what I mean. Rather than into them or whatever.
I think Gafford thought he could at least foul him on the way down. Giannis took off from inside the ft circle on that damn
That’s the rim protector tax. Love that Gafford refuses to make business decisions, but contesting a downhill Giannis is genuinely hazardous to your health.
Bot
I think the commenter he responded to is a bot
I wouldn’t go head to head with fucking Chris Paul lmao. Much less giannis
100% of players go for this block if there is any chance at all they make the play you are just a coward don’t project that onto 99% of the league lmao
I haven’t seen a dunk that disrespectable since the days of Blake Griffin.
Lob City Blake is top 5 ingame dunkers of all time. Miss that team honestly
Sigh, Doc Rivers killed that team’s chemistry.
We were never going anywhere without an actual 3. Matt Barnes, Wesley Johnson, Luc Mbah a Moute, Crawford kinda?? There’s probably more I forget, they were all trash. And Blake might be my favourite player of all time but his game on the clippers was too easy to shut down in the playoffs, lived off transition points and CP3 assists in the regular season.
Jalen Johnson teabagged Austin Reaves face on a dunk, check that one out if you haven’t seen it
Its cause they both do that illegal move when you use the off-arm to push the person
Really? Giannis has literally jumped over Hardaway Jr and dunked it lol
One of the nastiest posters I’ve ever seen
It literally looked like Jordan’s monstars dunk the way his arm stretched I can’t believe he made that
If it wasn’t a foul I’d agree too
Man everything is a foul to some of you mfers, go watch netball or some shit.
Need to grow ballsack
I’m jerkin it to netball right now actually, tell me more baby
Yeah baby bust that net all over my ball
Holy shit
GET BACK GANG
Space Jam (1996)
RIP Gafford. But also respect for trying to block that shit
Early dunk of the year contender right here, got damnnn
The Statue of FREAKERY
Tim Hardaway Jr thinking “I’ve seen this before”
The THJ was even more disrespectful as Giannis didn’t even know he jumped over him.
Giannis freaked it there 🫦
Made Gafford look like a guard trying to block him
Dunk of the year
Title didn’t do this dunk justice.. he caught a body omg
Nasty damn
Holy fuck
I’m a Mavs fan so I’m biased but that’s an offensive foul. Leads with a knee straight to the nuts.
Definitely not a defensive foul at the very least.
It’s Giannis. He would never get called on that.
100 percent an offensive foul.
NaTuRaL ShOoTiNg MoTiOn
Maybe but rule of cool >>>
Can’t draw a charge in the restricted area.
Run and Dunk Man doing Run and Dunk things.
The nutcracker ouch
Murder. Just plain ol’ murder.
He killed him!
Might have killed a generation too
They would both hog the ball lol
