Tim Duncan ejected by Joey Crawford for laughing 

you nailed it

hahahha lmao

But he does know how to celebrate after a chip and finals MVP

Lol. Nice joke dude

Ha ha ha ha

Is that true?

@@aentropy I'm curious, too. If so, good. If not, he should've been.

@@aentropy Yes its true

Aminoddin Domado yeah. He was suspended the rest of the 2007 season because of this

@@WeatherFoxElite Good as he should have been. Guy should've been canned long before.

Indeed! Especially in a tight game, the referees have bigger impact than some stars.

Teddy Jam, great point my man!

This is the worst idea ever. Ever been a ref in a regular professional/semi professional level? Then you would know. ;-)

That's absurd.

I would agree with this.... If the leagues changed their rules to make refs full time. Billion dollar leagues and refs still need to work another job to make a living. Pay them enough to be full time then train them and hold them accountable.

U just got T for saying that

Rasheed has always been right about Ref bias

Lmao

Bingo

This has actually happened from what I've heard

This actually reminds me of a parody where a football ref plays fantasy football

No doubt

Cuz he wanted a reason to kick Duncan out of the game , smh worst referee In the history of every sport

Exactly

Amani Marshall He was paid to find a reason to get Duncan out of the game.

There is another video where he T'd up Allen Iverson because he "brought the crowd down" (directly quoted from Joey Crawford).

itsinthenet That wasn't Joey Crawford, that was Bennett Salvatore. You can watch the clip in this video: NBA referees wired 2 - featuring Steve Javie, Allen Iverson and others

"...fighting through the screen..."😅😅😅

They work as Adam Silvers henchmen just like the refs

That’s Mike breen dumb ass mark Jackson with us

Second call made no sense bc he Tim clearly didnt say anything but I think he was talking trash about Crawford on the bench and Crawford must have heard that. Bad call either way

@@EthaJeffaP_68 I mean, if you're a ref and you felt like TD was trashtalking about you to his teammates, you probably deserve it lol. TD rarely acts like that too.

If he actually did he really is that stupid 🤣🤣 the second Duncan got up from the bench Crawford backpedaled to the other side of the court so quickly

You can't be serious. I really hope this is something made up.

Yep some refs will instigate a confrontation then give a tech when the player/coach reacts. There's a video somewhere of a ref doing this to Larry Brown.

@@theguyfromwalgreensit’s real😂

He looks miserable enough to try something like that

I lol'd

😂😂😂

amen

best comment i've read

yah best comment

xD thts funny

hahahah oh i see so thats why he never laughed again.

I agree dude, that was kinda unusual, tim laughing, ref had to fear for his own life maybe...suspectful!

Mickey pilipino ka ba

Jastine Santos yes bro Filipino ako.

He was like "hey hey hey!"

One of the best fix-up artists in the NBA.

shut up

I mean he helps rig games a lot.

@@Vito_Caligiuri that story makes me do the patented Duncan clap kick and laugh.

He also knows he was wrong and regrets behaving that way

Damn that's a sad story.

Lol

True.

That is probably true although I heard somewhere that the ref who ejected Duncan Joey Crawford hated Tim for some reason. I have no idea why seeing as how Tim is one of the nicest guys in the NBA but that might have something to do with it.

@@matthewcrispin4070. Even if he hated Duncan personally, he is suposed to be a proffessional. Hate or love can’t be involved in being a proffessional referee. There was money involved in that. For sure. Gambling or whatever. He should have been banned as a referee forever.

@@checa160 Oh I totally agree. Personal opinions shouldn't matter when your a referee your supposed to call the game fair. I do agree I definitely feel the refs had money on this game and it doesn't help that I believe I heard this particular referee is actually from Dallas so there's a good chance he's a Mavericks fan. The guy did get some karma though he ended up getting suspended for the entire season next year and that same season where Tim got ejected he went on to win a ring. So it wasn't totally bad.

He tossed Don Nelson for looking at him funny in 2003 (I think that one was also Mavs-Spurs). Basically he couldn’t stand anyone showing him up

Yeah he can finally show emotion again but he will probably get ejected by Crawford still

+LDBrock 729 Crawford retired 😑

+Magi Brevil I know

whoosh

+LDBrock 729 he'll show up at a spurs game and laughs his ass off and get ejected for making too much noise and disturbing players

Like a Police Union boss. Our criminal, er cops are the most professional in the entire world ... blah blah blah.

No. The HISTORY of the game. Ridiculous.

I like mike breen but yikes😬😬

Some of it just landed on me months later

To be honest, at that time no one had noticed Crawford's idiocy, and he was the most seasoned referee in the league, only after he ejected one of the most behaved player in the league (Duncan) that people noticed how Crawford acted on the court with abuse of power

what's even worse is that the broadcasters said " Joey Crawford is one of the best referees in the business, doing it for 31 years " if you interpret everything as it is something towards you, get yourself evaluated. I also remember when he ran into a player, and that player was called for a foul, he's a clown.

Nah look again he’s not even looking over there, which is even worse to me 😂

Joey Crawford is Ron Kulpa's real father?

@@Kromatt Mavs announcers. What do we expect?

@@castle_novelist bro it was on espn thats mike breen lol

Bugod i Maybe that's why the tech was called. Crawford was so confused by Duncan smiling that he didn't know what to do.

Bugod i remember when kobe wasnt the worst player

Paul Ruwe haha?

Paul Ruwe rember that he was injered

+Paul Ruwe Remember when anyone could pronounce your last name? Me neither.

because they are all trying to keep their jobs, they know hes biggest moron in whole universe when it comes to officiating but giving him compliment every now and then goes a long way for your career. like one comment said and I quote "People call him the best in the business, who got ruined by his actions in the Tim Duncan issue... No... He has always been consistently making moronic calls and is overall one of the worst refs in NBA history... Thank you, Joey Crawford, for getting your knee injury and finally retiring... Good riddance and don't ever come back, you useless, unprofessional piece of shit..."

To be fair, a ref shouldnt ever be the focus of a highlight unless it is something where the ref fucks up. It's like you don't notice when a room is clean but you definitely will notice if there's dirt all over the floor.

Its bcoz he was the best in what he does, read

Fans will be ejected for cheering😁😁😁😁😁what a disgrace worst league officiating I've ever see

You're asking that question in a league that doesn't hold its ref accountable in any regard and fines anyone who criticizes the refs while doing nothing but empowering the trash quality of refereeing

I would type haha but that doesn't cover the laughter i'm experiencing right now

lmao

Duncan would just smack him around silly, but Duncan is above that bs

Yea it’s in Crawford Wiki for the story

The dude's like... 5'10 and old while Duncan is like 6'11 and is an athlete at his prime... If this video wasn't dumb, this shit is even dumber

@@janseanhernane3191 LMAO

@@janseanhernane3191 it's even worse if you realize that Timmy D's practicing MMA on the side if he's not playing with cars or doing paintball. He's just digging his grave at this point

Because Duncan thought the obvious point shaving by the refs was funny, and that hurt Joey's pride.

He wants Duncan’s D ......Defense!

It’s called throwing the game

That's why he's such a bad ref. He's too busy paying attention to players faces on the bench, making sure they're not laughing at him.

Fr I noticed that too .😂😂 I remember purposely using him in nba 2k trying to draw fouls so I can shoot his free throw

Kawhi laugh Joe Crawford that's offense you out

@@Stormtrooper-fv7dr I'd watch that! Big fan here.

😂 ikr

Vankai Exactly. It's pretty hard to hear someone laugh in a loud arena. He was obsessed with Duncan. Besides, it's not Crawford's place to assume why a person on the bench is laughing and then give tech based on that. How does he know who or what Duncan was laughing at?

And fined $100,000

@@rykerz105 he got fined? good lmao

It gets worse. Later on, Crawford challenged Duncan to a fistfight. Duncan commented when reporters asked about it and said he'd be up for it. Wouldn't be something he'd actively ask for but if the little guy wanted it, sure is what he said. Duncan reportedly got fined $25,000 for that and well, you guys already know what happened to Joey.

@@mitomidou this is interesting from legal standpoint, since Texas is one of probably few places on earth where it is legal for adult people to physically battle (without weapons and until first body injury occurs - which isnt of course a precise definition), which means that if they both express consent to battle (and they do not disturb public peace while battling ?) they shouldn't have any legal trouble. Of course this is only a general Texas law, while NBA can have and most probably does have its own policy ('code of conduct') which forbids fistfights between players and refs

why dont u blow him i heard he swings both ways

NBA refs just being retards. Nothing new in here.

That's what Duncan was laughing at

or a foul on the push off that gave them freethrows

That’s fine to say, except in practice it’s humans anyway who have to program the robots; same reason why computers can’t referee a sport is why self-driving cars still run people over at pedestrian crosswalks.

Hey Hey Considering the number of self-driving cars is minuscule compared to the number of cars driven by people, I bet you’re right. That however is an irrelevant statement in the argument that “robots would make better refs than humans,” as it doesn’t change the fact that anything made/designed/programmed by human beings will always be flawed.

Exactly 💀

Ben Schrader well I’m sure there’s a lot more self driver cars as well
