I am a big fan of Jeremy Lin & there was another story about Kobe Bryant where they disagreed on something that happened during one NBA game over the phone texting. It got a little heated but in the end, Kobe eventually told Jeremy that he respected him very much because Jeremy stood up to him & that no one else had never done that to him. Other players were usually "yes men" to Kobe. You also have to remember that during Linsanity during the 2012-2013 NBA season, Jeremy's team won over Kobe's team in their first match together. Jeremy & Kobe had a shootout, with Jeremy ending up with 38 points versus Kobe's 34 points. This stung Kobe over the years & Jeremy lived in Kobe's head for all that time even when they eventually became teammates a couple years later after Linsanity. But overall, Jeremy said that Kobe respected him after that for many years although they did speak to each other, just not that much, even up to Kobe's death.
Maybe, but he definitely made his historical mark during that time period when he was just a mere rookie playing against veterans who had been in the NBA for at least a decade. He helped break that stereotype of Asians in the NBA much like his friend Yao did 20 years prior & even Misaka long before them. The only problem was that he became injury-prone much like his former teammates Baron Davis. And even though he got injured, Lin lifted the Knicks to .500, just enough to get them into the playoffs at 7th position that season for the first time in a decade when before that they couldn't get into the postseason since 2001. He also got the Hornets into the playoffs as well, when they hadn't been there for the previous 14 years. He is a devout Christian & has also been heralded in speaking up about racial discrimination, even during this rise of Asian hate in the past couple years, because he has been discriminated against his whole life, even when he is born American. He fought against that even throughout his whole time in the NBA for a decade.
That Vince Carter dunk were he jumped over the guy 3:30 is often consider Ed one if if not the greatest dunk of all time. That's. 7 plus foot tall human being he verts over.. My favorite player kg is the guy who celebrates w him after. Kgs face after is priceless
I hate the mindset that if someone dunks on you it is some devastating disrespect that you can’t live down. Anyone who plays solid defense and contests every dunk will have this happen to them a lot
you know what's worse... playing wheelchair basketball... where height / torso length /arm length is EVERYTHING. I'm 6'3" and my wingspan is even longer than that, but i sit real low in my chair cuz of my scoliosis, and when ur up against Amputee's unlike myself (T4 spinal cord injury) its like David vs Goliath. We cant jump... so LITERALLY our game is all about getting your tallest player (which our team had none) into the paint under the hoop... pass him the ball w/his arms up in the air, and have him do wrist flicks until he puts it in... OR force a foul. They have full torso, hip and at least 1 leg to rely on n outmaneuver the rest of us. where as me, i have no control from nipple area on down. lol. Shaq vs Mugsy Bogues, only i didnt have his handles or lets be honest shooting ability. My duty was to poke balls loose, draw fouls, and play dennis rodman defense. i put my body and chair on the line to take hard hits, i wasnt scared of them, even tho i only weigh 120lbs. vs 200lbs+ ppl.. i can pick myself up off the ground when my chair flips. most of them cant. U literally felt like a little person being bullied by someone 7 foot tall... it was a joke. lol. We never had dunks in our sport obviously, but there's plenty of other ways to be humiliated.
There is actually a player who had that happen though ... I can't remember his name but I think he was a jazz player. Huge dude. Got dunked on bad, was a good player overall yet people recall that more than the other things he actually did.
That narrator was great. I saw a video of comedian Kevin Hart at basketball games. He will yell insults to players during the game and sneak up behind them during their interviews. I think you may enjoy that one too.
@@anthonypatterson8796 you must be from the city of Brotherly Love, I can tell from your post you’ve had too much brotherly love and not enough Fatherly Love
One pound-fifty is 152.46 in Indian rupees. Some folks, like Michael Jordan's, career didn't end when they retired from playing the game. Jordan, & others, have very lucrative endorsement deals, & most players are able to go into coaching, or become broadcasters.
If you are going down the Jimmy HighRoller rabbit hole. He has a video detailing how he became a Division 1 college athlete, and he also shows off his basketball skills. Dude is not a joke.
Please react to Allen Iverson's documentary on RU-vid. It's amazing and incredible how far he came from his background, to be a Hall Of Famer. You'll get to know more about him.
Oh man I laughed when they said the clothesline was probably career ending. this is american sports bros, he probably got a 500 dollar fine and nothing else happened
I have to say that if I were a man and purposely punched in the nuts,...the gloves are off. The smack over the head was justified and tame compared to what I would do in that situation.
It's vicious with Australians acknowledged as the worst culprits. It gets super personal, racial and what you need to understand is your out there for 8hrs. It's not a sly quip, your stuck out there getting verbally abused for days on end. Fuk'n love cricket🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
@13:40 It’s also funny hearing her, who is 6’9 205 lbs (admittedly she is very tall and big in general, better yet for a woman) call Demarcus Cousins of all people, who is 6’10 269 lbs and a legit killer, “Little Man”! Like sometimes I’ll never u understand so people’s mindset at times tbh. Like of all people in the NBA I wouldn’t wanna mess with these days, Demarcus would be one of the last people you would wanna do sum to, to make mad lol. Which ig in his mind, whether she was being completely honest or not, he took it as a joke just like the WNBA is in everyone else’s mind…
Being traded while on the bench is bad enough, but the Oakland A's traded Jose Canseco to the Texas Rangers when he was in the on-deck circle. That's right, he was the next batter, and was out on the field when suddenly he was no longer on the team. Manager Tony La Russa had to go out and pull him off the field in full view of everyone.
A significant factor in American basketball is purely about disrespecting and mindfuc*ing your opponent. *NASTY* dunks on that opponent were the easiest way to achieve that.
@9:45 I guess that’s also why no one’s ever heard of him other than this moment right here and why he’s playing in the Philippine basketball league and not the NBA… So I mean I guess he got his little “15 minutes of fame”, but if I remember correctly, he didn’t play anymore after that did he? Like that was the last game he played in that league wasn’t it?
No Lie when I was in the tenth grade we were playing some team and my teammate got the ball from a free-throw the opponent shot and tried to make it and I blocked his shot and yelled at him back down the court LOL I was the team captain
Don't feel too bad for Harrison Barnes being traded in the middle of a game. He is 28 years old, has earned $128,344,926 just in salaray and is guaranteed two more years and $38.5 million dollars. He's a decent player (13.9 points, 5.1 rebounds, 37.7% from three) but $128 mil for decent is laughable.
man..... that one woman calling out that cousins guy? priceless. sorry ladies. I'm no pro at basketball, and any WNBA player would probably beat my ass on or off the court (or probably just the average man in general, to be honest), but there is an entire world of difference between the average person and a professional NBA player. and, if you've never played with one, I think you're punching entirely too high.
See, here's the thing. I'm not a basketball guy. I'm a disabled white kid. But these guys getting dunked on get to go back home to their millions of dollars. Imagine being the poor guy getting rocked around the entire blacktop for HOURS playing streetball and going home to an apartment and an electric bill? Granted, the word used is "disrespectful" not "when being savage af goes too far". And honestly, I'd almost consider the narration more disrespectful. Granted, I watched that first dude get up and I was like, Woof, that's rough.... but I didn't pause him and say he got folded up like a lawn chair with his ass sticking up into the air. THAT would've been disrespectful. If the announcer at the game was like, "WHOOOOOAAAA THAT GUY ATE SHIT GETTING FOLDED UP LIKE A LAWN CHAIR!" I'd be like.... wait, really?
@13:25 I mean let’s be honest, Jordan could lose all of those million dollar bets and still be richer than half the people in the NBA combined lol. Dude ain’t hurting for money for sure.
Hello,I just subscribed I love y’all videos can you please do a reaction to burna boy monsters you made please ,it’s about injustice in Nigeria please.
@14:35 I was literally thinking the same thing. There is no way she just talks gat deep lol. I swear she’s got more testosterone rubbing their her body than TRT Vitor. And if you know who that is them you know that’s a fk ton lol.
@14:00 she needs to stop shooting up Test before games and start freebasing some estrogen to get some more treble in her voice and get the bass turned down some lol. I mean I know some women have a great impersonation of mens voices and can really make their voice really deep at times, but you can reply tell that this isn’t one of those moments and she really just has a deeper voice than I do as a 30 year old man lol. I just don’t understand how her voice is so deep tbh lol. Like what tf is going on in her vocal cords lol?
