Rick Carlisle Explains Why Pacers Took the Game Ball After Giannis' 64-Point Game 

😂😂😂😂😂"I just kinda...swung around and full on clubbed him in the head, but I totally didn't mean to..." lol

Literally what I just commented lol. Carlisle thinks we're all idiots.

Lol yoooo. That was tough to watch on TNT Draymond just kept saying intent. Intent. Intent. Lol. This is equally uncomfortable. He said they dont care that much about the game ball... then why take it? They would of lost it if haliburton dropped 60 in Indiana!

I just finished saying this under someone else’s comment. Damn gotta like this comment now😂

Jordan poole*😂

😂

ZERO brain cells.

Plus it ain't even that bums first point he scored 1 free throw 2 nights ago and scoring a free throw isn't your first nba bucket ... you don't get no fucking game ball for making 1 free throw

hahahahahahhaah im dead! facts. That no thought took me out.

But they were thinking!! and to save face they’re lying about which makes it worse. We’re 30 games into the season and they remembered to grab it for his 1st points.

Lowest mammal excuse from the old book of knowledge 😂

For the love of god let their GM be ok!🙏

@@TpolTimelmao hahahahahhahahaha. Probably got pinched and will be taking time off for a while.

​@@2019_NBA_CHAMPSso will whoever struck him when the video comes out

Oh damn lady I didn't know you played for the pacers. What else did they say in the locker room?

Win some Lose some

A Pacers player scored their first ever career point so that's why they got the ball. Giannis can always break his own record, but that player will never have a first career point again.

they took without even asking, just shameless@@jonathanborowski7323

@@jonathanborowski7323lol shutup

@@jonathanborowski7323the problem is the game hall was stolen from the locker room. The security was given the Gameball from the ref.

@@jonathanborowski7323man stfu!!!! Who gives af about a bench player scoring 1 damn point when Giannis scored 64 points!

Exactly. This needs more likes

They didn’t, they had the spare, bucks security got handed the game ball by the ref, Y’all choosing sides based on the player not real facts

All childish, all just big ass children

​@@SuperMercedes44they shouldn't have got the spare either. Top 5 in 3's & 60+ historic night means 0 game balls for the rookie. Stop the nonsense.

@@whitneydavis3327 not everything is for you dude calm down , You acting like it won’t just be another ball when they past it again, Your choosing sides based on the person no the actual situation,

As a basketball fan and competitor I want to apologize for this mans stupid running of the dick holster, apparently the pacers fans are as weak as Indiana basketball.

Thank you

Thank you but now the bucks have a new rivalry

No need to apologize. I'm on the pacers side.. anybody who jus scored their first NBA bucket should get game ball. Giannis already a champ n beat player in league. Who know. If that rookie has a few bad games might never play in NBA again .. what is his contract? Some guys get signed to a ten game contract n stuff. I'm not sure what the circumstances are here. But I say let the rookie get the ball

​@@BradenWalker1the guy already scored the first point on LAL two game before, the first point thing is a joke

A player tried to injure Giannis… don’t act like the rest of the team was in on that…

Im pretty sure your wrong if you score your first point in the nba I’m pretty sure he should understand if he wants to be a dick now yea take a guys first point take ball he can’t ever get his first point ball again gianis can just break the 64 point he’s fucking huge and it’s easy to get points for him

And they knew what was going on. The world knew what was going on why he was still in the game. I’m okay with then being petty but at least own up to it

No I don’t think they were being petty at all. Like they said, their rookie Oscar scored his 1st official basket in the NBA and so they took the ball for him. Once they had realized Giannis was kicking and screaming about it they handed over the official game ball to him and took the 2nd game ball for their rookie. Like he just explained in the video.. them taking the 2nd game ball and giving Giannis the official game ball wasn’t a big deal to them & I’m sure if Giannis brought this up to them on the court as the Pacer’s assistant coach was taking the ball they would have gave it to him right there and then.. regardless as soon as the cry baby Giannis started with his hissy fit the game ball was given to him. All the theatrics from the Bucks were unnecessary and uncalled for. The Pacers never once denied him or told Giannis “no”.

Of course you are, he’s one of the best players in the worlds so he’s allowed to act like a 4 year old 😅

Just another excuse to hate on the pacers, most hated team in the nba fr

Bucks staffers took the ball. Pacers staffers only took the reserve ball.

So where's the ball?​@@carlocalingasan998

If he could do it again it would have been broken.its a rare thing prolly a Kareem record

But quite logical as well. You can put next 60. You can not score yet another time your first points in the NBA. Fight over ball just shows how ridiculous and childish both sides are.

i agree 100%@@piotrsie5465 .. giannis is already mvp, champ , allstar n best player. he can do anything again... the fact if some of these rookies only get a few games.. if you have 1 bad game you might never step on nba court again. let alone if somebody has like 5-10 bad games.. they are gone. that rookie could get injured or play bad n never be here again. some guys only sign to 10 game deals. im not sure about this particular rookie . maybe he signed for years.. but yes. he should get game ball from his first nba point.. only like 3000 players have ever made it to nba in history n only 1500 out of that is still alive today.. giannis should have understood n not acted childish

​@@piotrsie5465bruh everyone would have a game ball then. Less people break 60 than those who score their first points. ALMOST EVERYONE SCORES A POINT IN THE LEAGUE

​@@piotrsie5465I hear he also scored against the Lakers previously, so it wasn't his first point.

They did, the head coach said something along the lines of they weren't thinking about Giannis' record when they instinctively did the usual rookie ritual, (that has been done for many years) and said they'd have been fine with the spare ball (when he thought they had the actual game ball). The Pacers gave Giannis the ball they took for the rookie, so I'm guessing the rookie didn't got anything for his first official NBA point. In order to vilify the Pacers, most people are assuming the coach was lying, but that's not the way the Pacers run their organization. And that coach has pulled players or had their players dribble the ball out before they could set franchise records out of respect to other teams in the past. People that don't watch Pacers games wouldn't know that. It's sad that they're trashing the team over this mistake, and based on peoples' assumptions of their intentions rather than facts.

Nah it’s hilarious! 😂 way to troll them Pacers, G acting like a fool

Fuck that little first point. 64 franchise & player personal record. Give that man his ball

first points in a freaking free throw too and bro didn’t make both 😂

@@danielolugbemi dang they really troll Giannas hard on this one 😂 He running around acting like a lol

And Lillard past korver in the 5th 3pts made. So they didn't have any business taking that ball, plus they loss.

😆

Everyone and their mommas know You ain’t suppose to be reaching for games balls when you lose.

Right, they only did that bcuz of a rookie on their team which is pretty odd right now

​@@2019_NBA_CHAMPSwho's balls do you reach for loser?

@@2019_NBA_CHAMPSAnd when you’re the away team too. I assumed the pacers were home when I first heard the story because who would have the audacity to do that away lmao

Giannis always scores a lot of points against the Pacers. It's not that hard for him to get 50 or more points when they give him 32 free throw attempts in a single game. Plus, he's a VERY talented, huge bodied player that can railroad most opponents (bully ball)....he's going to score his points against most players in the league. The Pacers have 3 titles (had a dynasty) on 5 trips to the Finals during the ABA years (when professional basketball consisted of 2 smaller groups - ABA and NBA...until they merged taking 4 of the ABA teams). NBA championships that happened while the ABA league existed are counted, so the ABA championships are just as legitimate as those early NBA championships are. Several Hall of Famers came from the ABA. league teams that joined the NBA. The Pacers are not title-less, and technically have one more professional basketball league championship than the Bucks.

Why would he know what their franchise record was?

​​​​@@notalot22wys were they all deaf or blind to see the big TV . They lost, they're the away team , even LeBron or Kobe didn't take the game ball home on their debut or maybe and we didn't know so wys .

​@@notalot22the was just being salty he dropped a 64 point double double on them

when they saw him score 64 points on their ass?@@notalot22

​@@notalot22It is always on the visual board and echoed by the announcers. The game was also paused and a timeout taken immediately the Franchise highest scoring record was broken by Giannis. So, this Pacers coach is just lying that he didn't know.

it’s hilarious! 😂 way to troll them Pacers, G acting like a fool

lol nah fr

His Jim Carrey and truly he deserved it.

After such a great career as an actor, Amazing how he still has enough gas to be an NBA coach 🏅

What’s crazy is that he thinks that he’s so smart when he’s so dumb, his level of intelligence is on the same as Draymond Green. You think you’re outsmarting everybody but you’re not.

Jim Carey is not bald.😂 He is Canadian though.

😭😭

I knew I couldn't be the only one who thought that. 😂

Nah it’s hilarious! 😂 way to troll them Pacers, G acting like a fool

Nyahaga

It was not a stat pad. Indiana tried to win the game in garbage time and Giannis came back in and ended it.

Which is why they didn't take it.. the game ball was caught in video being handed to a Bucks staffer... They had it the whole time.

Stat padded? They got cooked bro, and was salty.

​@@aceowens21996He just admitted they took the ball! The fuck you talking bout? 😂🤦🏾‍♂️

⁠@@kalinwang1it was stat padding they were up by 15+ and kept all there starters in. Then the second he got his career high he fouled and got all starters out? That’s not stat padding?

Then proceeds to act like he's above it all with his dumb contradictory statement "we don't care that much about the official game ball"

This is ridiculous explanation. Why do you try to get the game ball after losing the game on the road? Do you give the game ball to any of your player to celebrate after losing?

No class at all from this coach and his team

😂

They knew what they were doing !!!

LOL "a bucks player" elbowed their GM. Hopefully nobody sues Giannis

@@elizaschaeffer34 he must do that again even go for an high kick, why would you ran off with the ball you not even in your home court this is so childish

Such victims mentality!!

Especially in a game where you lost... What do they need the game ball for exxactly?

@@seancagney8897 a rookie who scored his first points. Lamest excuse I’ve ever heard That’s like hitting your 500th Home Run and the fan who caught it refuses to give it back

Bro that thing is a lie too which makes the whole thing worst lmao the dude scored against the lakers before 😭

He scored against the lakers from the free throw Line ..but it wasn't actually official since no stats counted in the in season championship game..but still who cares give giannis his ball over the rookie

Giannis gonna drop 80 on them next. It's personal now between these two teams 😂

YOU DIDNT LISTEN. THERES TWO GAME BALLS THE REF HAD THE ONE GIANNIS WANTED

@@pacerfan23yeah there’s two but they aren’t equal. It’s pretty clear to understand one is the official one

@@pacerfan23 literal pacer fan account trying to cope and be disingenuous, I guess it runs in the franchise.

Rick Carlisle is a petty coach and an instigator .. look what he tried to do with Denise Smith Jr. and Luka Doncics friendship while he was the coach in Dallas the man is a good coach but he is as petty as they come😒

@@pacerfan23take the “L” and go home lmao. Some people just don’t know how to lose. Everyone and their momma knows that you shouldn’t be reaching for game balls when you lose. If that’s the culture y’all are building it will crash. Seems things haven’t changed since Paul George left because y’all weren’t interested in championships!

Dunking while the game is already out of reach is also considered classless!in the NBA, no?

Pacers didn't take the ball. Running after a reserve ball when the Bucks staffers already took the game ball is borderline classless.

​@nikobellic2515 wtf is it to have class in sports? Lol I thought you were just suposed to buss the other teams ass

⁠@@nikobellic2515the dude dunked at the end of the game to set the record for most points in a game for the bucks. How dumb of a take

@@nagameel7324False, He had already broken the record at 59 points: "With his 64-point performance against the Pacers in a 140-126 win, Antetokounmpo set the single-game franchise scoring record and made good on the pledge he made to Michael Redd, whose 57 points on Nov. 11, 2006, had stood as the Milwaukee Bucks' franchise record until Wednesday:" Last I checked a dunk is only worth TWO points (without any free throws). So either you're not very good at math, or his dunk was completely unnecessary because he had already past the record 3 points prior to that dunk. You might want to think a little more before accusing someone else of having a dumb take.

😂😂😂

They never won anything in their franchise history so of course they’re going to act like lil punk Bs. Tyrese shoots the ball like a girl. Giannis gonna bully that front running ho for years.

Why not just go talk to them, tell them your piece, tell em how pissed you are, and work it out. No need to take it to such levels. Hopefully the Pacers would've offered back the actual game ball. I think what he's saying is there was no need to jump to fighting immediately. Someone has to be the adult in the room.

Put yourself in the Pacers position. They always get the game ball if a rookie scores their first point. If you were a rookie for the pacers and score your first point you would care about that. The Pacers care about that. I don’t understand the issue

@@TydensDadgive the rook a warm up ball..

Not even points, point singular. Bro went 0/1 from the field and 1/2 from the ft line

@@TydensDad you don’t know ball then…

@@TydensDad they werent home and giannis scored the francise record. And it was the way they did it. They didnt shake hands after the game, they just ran off to the locker room instead of discussing things. That is called peak entitlement.

wow, that was amazing. you really had me in the beginning

You can see him making up excuses while he speaks. Either way it’s bad sportsmanship and disrespectful behavior towards one of the greats of the game

or kobe scoring 80 and toronto talm giving the ball to their rookie for his first point 😂😂 or steph breaking the record

They should give Giannis his balls back😢😢

Exactly

They wouldve gave the ball either way, bucks just tryna prove a point that pacers are classless, but rlly rick carlisle spoke from the heart, they really don't care for a game ball, so bucks players were overreacting too much and tryna cause drama. Bucks woulda got ball back even if they asked nicely and with reason. The bucks instead choose to make drama by heading to the lockers as a whole group - which is bound to cause security tension for another potential fight arising.

First time i heard that lol

@@bigdripbobz1072right that’s why they took the game ball while being the visiting team. That makes no sense unless they did some shocking historic stuff.

@@marinodejesus8024 don't matter ask with reason I'm telling you and pacers would give it back there's a limit to pettiness, and I have no belief pacers want to bring smoke to their own lockers by continuing their pettiness. A simple asking would do ... Jae crowder and cam Payne had no reason being there.

You beat me 2 it. That was my first thought. Completely contradicted himself.

Like the rookie scored on a ft ok cool Giannis scored how many points yeah they were salty knowing also it’s called putting your players in check oh the irony and the bs he’s saying lol

Right

Nah it’s hilarious! 😂 way to troll them Pacers, G acting like a fool

Bucks were clearly stat padding but Pacers should come out and congratulate them for running Giannis isos against back ups to set a franchise record. Yea I'd say the Pacers acted accordingly by not wanting to shake hands after that. And it's come out that the Pacers took the reserve ball not the game ball but yall not trying to hear all that.

@@JUSTBEYOU22984 Maybe your team should have played till the end.. such BS with all this sitting out when losing, fight till the end. And don’t come with this BS unofficial rule, if one team sits out their starters the other should follow suit.

@@va3023 stated that was the most probable cause of why we wouldn't have wanted to shake hands. But you aren't ready for an intelligent conversation

@@JUSTBEYOU22984 What is the intelligent conversation? That teams should play hard and through the end and not sit out their starters cause they’ve given up and waved the invisible white flag? Or regardless of their sentiments, show sportsmanship towards the other team in lose, especially as the other team has previously lost twice and were a sport about it.

@@va3023 you're upset we didn't shake your hands for what reason, oh because it's good sportsmanship which yall showed none of lmao, can't have it both ways

Portis was so pissed the last game losing to the Pacer he blew up at his own head coach and said changes needed to be made and got ejected this game. The Pacers love getting their goat. Can't wait for the playoffs

@@pacerfan23yeah they got their goat and got shit on. Keep doing it because the bucks love getting pissed… epescially Giannis. I love seeing Giannis shit on teams

all these is cool in the end they won the battle not the war. giannis just gonna take it out on them in the playoffs.

The coach set the tone by leaving without shaking hands. That is petty and you can tell by his response how small a man and the kind of leader he is. Losing with class is something all people ought to learn as a kid

They were clearly playing dirty the entire game and not getting called out by the refs. It shows fear. Every game can't be there where the refs are paid for

The Bucks don't deserve respect and incite no fear whatsoever with the Pacers. It's beef. Better have your guy double up on those roids
