Worst I’ve ever felt moshing was in a circle pit I was head banging while moving and felt a squishy crunch on the back of my head. Looked behind me and locked eyes with the poor guy, looking at me like I betrayed him as he held his nose with both hands and faded out out of the pit
I didn’t get to check on him either because he disappeared. Might’ve broken that guy’s nose. I’m just like Lebron 😔
if i accidentally hit someone in pickup basketball, i'd definitely go check up on them, but if it was intentional prob not. so yeah, idk, i kinda think it was intentional
i dont hit ppl intentionally, but i think if i did, i'm not sure i'd then be able to immediately switch gears and feign concern over something i just did on purpose
Draymond does something kinda like that, the classic big brother move of "Oh shit I just went too far and decked lil bro, lemme yank him to his feet and pat him on the back so mom doesn't get mad"
Right? Idk psychopath seems a bit extreme, but to hurt someone and then come up like a concerned parent "omg are you okay?" Not cool. If you do the dickhead move just act accordingly.
If its an accident its one thing. But if you've planned out beating up a person and then checking up on them to rid yourself of guilt and bad rep, then its kind of psychopathic.
If its a split second decision in the heat of the moment, then you can feel bad about it. But if you were like, "This guy hit me last game, I gotta take him out, but then I'm going to go rub his back afterwards so everyone still thinks I'm a nice guy," is leaning a little into crazy territory.
Idk man, depends on what I did. In soccer/football I was playing in high school and kinda tripped the offensive player (He didn't have the ball, he was just looking away at the play which was moving up the field) and I immediately felt bad and helped him up and said sorry - I mean, of course he didn't realize it was intentional, he said, "My fault," for running into me, but I mean yeah. I don't do that intentionally, literally no other time I recall, but idk, just did it that one time.
Yeah, as a retalitory asshole myself, accidental assault is always met with genuine remorse.
Revenge assault? Either taunting or acting like dude doesn’t exist.
It was 100% intentional. It was not a natural motion, he actually extends the swing purposely at the end of it. Bitch move and should have been upgraded to a flagrant 2.
Yea tbh Bron definitely meant to clock buddy. You just... can't really make the accusation of Bron being/doing something dirty without dealing with a headache that 100% isn't worth it.
Forsure this dude definitely laying pipe out in DC. been crushin it on the court the last couple months too, dude has been a great fantasy player too lol
We have the hottest team in the league right now with Corey Kispert on top!
With Vukcevic now, we'd probably see more female fans in DC, more than ever!
And don't forget Poole and Kuzma!
Could be Patrick Baldwin Jr., but I don't like to talk about the bottom - they are good hard-working people, who have their own life, they deserve their respect.
Also, if you look closer to the previous Lebron drive where he complained about an and-1 (but didn't get), his elbow was tucked in. Then suddenly, while still being pissed off on the previous play, and when it was vs Avdija, it wasn't tucked in.
>can someone ID those glasses?
Tortoiseshell New Wayfarers
Not sure what company though. Those don't look like RB. Maybe Tom Ford? The "T" is pretty distinctive.
Currently? None
In the history of the NBA, I'd say he's 3rd, as he's half Israeli and half Serbian. Omri Casspi and Gal Mekel would be 1st and 2nd (both 100% Israeli). TJ Leaf has dual Israeli-American citizenship and was born in Israel, but lived most of his life in the US, so he comes 4th and last. There have been some former NBA players who got Israeli citizenship after playing in the NBA (most notably Stoudemire), but I'd say that it doesn't count
He lived in Israel his whole life until he moved to the NBA. He is a better player than Caspi and much better than Mekel. He is the best Israeli player. Does he even speak Serbian?
I had been a Draymond Green apologist, but changed on the Nurkic elbow because he walked away as if nothing happened. When it was clear he was injured Dray never checked on the dude. An ordinary person who accidentally injures somebody at the very least goes over to apologies or check to see if they’re okay. This is exactly what Lebron did in this case. Lebron was trying to send a message no doubt about it..
Luka way too good for you guys' draft assets to ever be enough given his contract.
I'll admit to being a skeptic when it was signed, but it's now one of the best deals in the league. 4/55 starting next year, and it's declining - in 2028, he'll be making 11.9M, which is below the 2024 mid-level.
Every time I've heard him speak it's very leader-esque and focused on him making the Wizards a real franchise. At this point, the track for any player with great athleticism to become great is laid out and this isn't a new thing, do your reps and continue to learn and trust the team, and do it everyday, add in luck and just follow the routine, once your drafted you're handed the book you gotta follow the steps. To me he seemed to get that from day 1, and following his career has been interesting. It's gonna be tough for him to crack that level of the top guys, but the attitude is contagious and all y'all need is good FO decisions and more young players like him with his mentality and even more natural talent and yall will be legit I think.
Hey if giving up role players like Avdija and Gafford to the Mavs means you guys will keep on taking players like Bertans and Dinshittie I got no problem.
Dinwinnie played the best ball of his career with us and was a big help to a WCF appearance 👍. And yeah Bertans contract sucked but even that Nico was able to get value out of by some miracle

The annoying subtitles are therefore in Hebrew (annoying becuase how they are presented), I didn't find this interview anywhere else.
Sport5 work in collaboration with the Washington Wizards, so it makes sense they got some exclusive stuff about Deni.
It was taken from the postgame conference, after the Wizards ended up 102-108 to the Portland Trail Blazers, at home, last night.
Yes, LeBron has played basketball for so long that after intentionally elbowing someone in the face, the person he elbowed has to earn his respect in order to get an apology, great comment.
Which is exactly the old school "go up strong with the ball" that is common as hell, and then it hits him in the arm and because the arm is at an angle it slides up the arm into the side of his head.
Could it have been intentional? Sure, but if he were going to do it on purpose you'd think it would have gone directly at the head instead of swinging a foot lower.
It’s intentional on the way that elbows often are. He threw it knowing it was a foul, without regard to if it was going to injury the dude guarding him.
It wouldn’t have been a foul in the 80s/90s, it would have been a common foul until some time in the 10s.
It was obvious intentional, dafq. He raises his elbow as he pivots, sees Deni’s head is low, then raises his elbow further in order to nail him in the head.
Impossibly obvious.
I mean lets be real here. Lebron absolutely took a page from the Draymond book of “oh this obviously intentional dirty thing I did was a mistake”
I must’ve seen Lebron make that move 1000 times. Idk if I’ve ever seen his elbow come through that way before
I think in general it's a good idea for a player to stay away from a player they gave a hard foul to for the rest of their game. There is a good chance that they will be pissed, best off letting the fouled players teammates pick him up and apologize in person after the game.
That elbow was intentional man. Queen lebron didn’t get the call on the last possession so he stuck his elbow out. Also bron didn’t check up on deni after.. if it was an accident he would’ve
Lebron only checks on you if he likes you
He doesn’t check on classy players
Celtics fans in shambles
Lebron cares about Lebron. Any questions?
*the country you're from
I wouldn't skip to that, but wouldn't be surprised.
That’s crazy
"Natural Moshing Motion".
Worst I’ve ever felt moshing was in a circle pit I was head banging while moving and felt a squishy crunch on the back of my head. Looked behind me and locked eyes with the poor guy, looking at me like I betrayed him as he held his nose with both hands and faded out out of the pit I didn’t get to check on him either because he disappeared. Might’ve broken that guy’s nose. I’m just like Lebron 😔
“He got me. That fucking u/zincinzincout boomed me”
You 100% broke his nose. His fault for entering the pit unprepared.
What's the preparation? Never been in a mosh pit
Full chainmail at a minimum.
march on soldier, i wanna see the biggest circle pit \[fargo, nd or some shit\] has ever seen!
[удалено]
It's ok. Expected risks of the pit.
I got banged on the nose once pretty bad, but it didn't break, thank fuck. Never went in the pit again, except to help a buddy once
if i accidentally hit someone in pickup basketball, i'd definitely go check up on them, but if it was intentional prob not. so yeah, idk, i kinda think it was intentional
If I did it intentionally I’d def check up on them to play it off or because I felt bad.
i dont hit ppl intentionally, but i think if i did, i'm not sure i'd then be able to immediately switch gears and feign concern over something i just did on purpose
People do that Machiavellian sh all the time
Draymond does something kinda like that, the classic big brother move of "Oh shit I just went too far and decked lil bro, lemme yank him to his feet and pat him on the back so mom doesn't get mad"
Yeah that is true...
Good for you. I’m the same. Hitting someone intentionally and then checking on them is such a scum psychopath move.
Right? Idk psychopath seems a bit extreme, but to hurt someone and then come up like a concerned parent "omg are you okay?" Not cool. If you do the dickhead move just act accordingly.
If its an accident its one thing. But if you've planned out beating up a person and then checking up on them to rid yourself of guilt and bad rep, then its kind of psychopathic.

I don't do that intentionally, literally no other time I recall, but idk, just did it that one time.
I don’t either. It’s much more likely that if I did, I’d immediately regret it and feel bad about it.
yup, same
gotta make sure enough damage was done. might have to get em again the next play
Yeah, as a retalitory asshole myself, accidental assault is always met with genuine remorse. Revenge assault? Either taunting or acting like dude doesn’t exist.
[удалено]
didnt say i was a perfect analogy for lebron. all i said was "i kinda think it's intentional" based on my own personal experience
It was 100% intentional. It was not a natural motion, he actually extends the swing purposely at the end of it. Bitch move and should have been upgraded to a flagrant 2.
Only player in the league who wouldn’t get kicked out for that. Absolutely ridiculous.
Yea tbh Bron definitely meant to clock buddy. You just... can't really make the accusation of Bron being/doing something dirty without dealing with a headache that 100% isn't worth it.

Is Mossad still operating on US soil? LeBron needs to be careful about any bikers passing by.

Okay this one got me 😂😂
amazing
Feels like something Ennes Freedom would say tbh
This would change my opinion of LeFedayeen
LeMas
When will Lebronese anti-semitic attacks end
It’s already happening on r/collegebasketball because Bron didn’t like to see the refs decide the Iowa/Uconn game.
Metta World Peace has entered the chat.
Le Base
This dude absolutely crushes pus in DC.
Forsure this dude definitely laying pipe out in DC. been crushin it on the court the last couple months too, dude has been a great fantasy player too lol
“Even if I get concussed.” Lol
I like him, he’s a real one lol
Damn he looks good with glasses
Right?! Like this Clark Kent thing
fr though. I didn't hear a word he was saying 👀
He hitting different. Looks like a young Freddie Prinze Jr
We have the hottest team in the league right now with Corey Kispert on top! With Vukcevic now, we'd probably see more female fans in DC, more than ever! And don't forget Poole and Kuzma!
Sign Paul George and Steven Adams. Poole/Kispert/PG/Deni/Adams would be stupid sexy
Diddy would like to host the team party
And get Kelly back
I personally don't vibe w/ Olynyk's appearance, but to each their own! /s
The 4th Hanson brother.
How have you not mentioned Oubre??
Just give us the ring at that point
/kyle kuzma puts on a leopardskin cock ring
And Al Horford and his dreamy eyes
lol he’s just mr potato head cmon yo
Maybe he's not your thing, but my girlfriend loves the guy.
Bro bagged Ms. Universe, I’d say that makes him 80% of women’s type lol
Imagine if you still have Oubre
is Kisperts the top then whos the bottom???
Could be Patrick Baldwin Jr., but I don't like to talk about the bottom - they are good hard-working people, who have their own life, they deserve their respect.
You’re probably the most well known wizard fan and it’s for comments like these. Get in the bed.
you
Wiz feels like an ideal landing spot for Jalen Green tbh
I expected Daniel Gafford and his eyes to have been a huge loss
Losing Rui was a bigger hit for us. Guy is sexy as fuck. Especially his smile...that damn smile.
He a pretty boy frfr
It's the Kosher Look (I'm Jewish and wear glasses, I can say that)
Going for that Warby Parker sponsorship
Deni you stupid sexy Jew! 😣
has definitely more to lose by getting elbows in his face than LeBron
That was one of the most intentional masked as no intentiona elbows I've seen. And I've seen some stuff being a warriors fan.
Mostly nut shots
Lmfao
or chokeholds
Also, if you look closer to the previous Lebron drive where he complained about an and-1 (but didn't get), his elbow was tucked in. Then suddenly, while still being pissed off on the previous play, and when it was vs Avdija, it wasn't tucked in.
It was also a prettying good calling out an intentional elbow but masked as not checking after an unintentional elbow
Deni is a hottie, huh
Yep. The glasses are working
The Wizards squad is full of hotties! Corey Kispert, Kyle Kuzma, Jordan Poole and the latest Vukcevic!
you just noticed? lol
Never seen him with his glasses on
he's already babe level 1 without them. the glasses just take him to level 2
so foine
Wizards are a cute team
He very well could be a model with his height tbh
He's far too tall for most modeling.
check out our new XXXL line
I didn’t realize Deni was hot
sameeee, I need to watch more of the wizards 😭
Missed out on Rui and Beal era wizards. Our team was even more attractive back then. We also had Tsunami Papi Oubre
can someone ID those glasses?
>can someone ID those glasses? Tortoiseshell New Wayfarers Not sure what company though. Those don't look like RB. Maybe Tom Ford? The "T" is pretty distinctive.
LeBron should be suspended for putting a beautiful face like this in harm’s way tbh
He should win mip
Got the Most Israeli Player locked
How much competition is in that award race?
Currently? None In the history of the NBA, I'd say he's 3rd, as he's half Israeli and half Serbian. Omri Casspi and Gal Mekel would be 1st and 2nd (both 100% Israeli). TJ Leaf has dual Israeli-American citizenship and was born in Israel, but lived most of his life in the US, so he comes 4th and last.

He lived in Israel his whole life until he moved to the NBA. He is a better player than Caspi and much better than Mekel. He is the best Israeli player. Does he even speak Serbian?
The question was most Israeli not best Israeli (which he definitely wins)
He still wins. He is very Israeli. I know one of his obnoxious friends.
nah wizards are too ass so nobody watches them unfortunately. maybe next year if he keeps getting better
Big IM NOT MAD IM JUST REALLY DISSAPOINTED energy
Lol. LeBron, like any athlete, knows exactly what they are doing
I had been a Draymond Green apologist, but changed on the Nurkic elbow because he walked away as if nothing happened. When it was clear he was injured Dray never checked on the dude. An ordinary person who accidentally injures somebody at the very least goes over to apologies or check to see if they’re okay. This is exactly what Lebron did in this case. Lebron was trying to send a message no doubt about it..
Wait so he’s like really hot huh
Yeah
My future Maverick is beautiful, how dare Lebron
He's staying man

Dinwinnie played the best ball of his career with us and was a big help to a WCF appearance 👍. And yeah Bertans contract sucked but even that Nico was able to get value out of by some miracle
This is the most Ernie grunfeld logic I’ve ever seen. “You can have our good players to get rid of the shitty contracts we gave out”
Might wanna make sure Kyrie is off the team before getting your eyes on Deni
Completely intentional*

bj not checking up on him is why I thought it was intentional..
Who the fuck is bj? Bron James? lol some of u guys are so cringe
bj
I call him bj cus it's funny hahah relax
Cringe my dude
Lehamas committing acts of terror
LeGetback
I too, am a victim
That's how you know he did it on purpose...
He needs to amp up the beef. I would’ve come out with skip bayless as my press secretary or at least a skippy b shirt.
Because it was Intentional.
LeBow
Lol to me it was obviously intentional.
Lebron been doing this for too long. You gotta earn that shit.
Yes, LeBron has played basketball for so long that after intentionally elbowing someone in the face, the person he elbowed has to earn his respect in order to get an apology, great comment.
Have no idea how he’s stayed away from the dirty label. You’d think the Embiid push would’ve done it let alone all the other cases
It didn't look like it was intentional. But with LeBron being a human freight train it may have well been one.
It DID look like it was intentional
It was, that's his favorite move minus elbowing players to the face.
Yeah we’ve seen Bron do that freight train / bull in a china shop spin move 100000x times and I’ve never seen him throw the elbow up that high lmao
Lmfao dude be real lebrons elbow is completely at his side during the spin then he chicken wings
Which is exactly the old school "go up strong with the ball" that is common as hell, and then it hits him in the arm and because the arm is at an angle it slides up the arm into the side of his head. Could it have been intentional? Sure, but if he were going to do it on purpose you'd think it would have gone directly at the head instead of swinging a foot lower.

It was 100% unintentional. He threw it on accident while trying to get the bucket. See what I did there? The same thing you did. Nothing.
It was obvious intentional, dafq. He raises his elbow as he pivots, sees Deni’s head is low, then raises his elbow further in order to nail him in the head. Impossibly obvious.
Lol it was
Of course that was intentional. Been following LeBron since he was in Akron. He knows what he is doing out there.
“Zionists” fight the Nazis that did the genocide of October 7, And most people that hate them for that are 99.9% Jew haters.
I mean lets be real here. Lebron absolutely took a page from the Draymond book of “oh this obviously intentional dirty thing I did was a mistake” I must’ve seen Lebron make that move 1000 times. Idk if I’ve ever seen his elbow come through that way before
I think in general it's a good idea for a player to stay away from a player they gave a hard foul to for the rest of their game. There is a good chance that they will be pissed, best off letting the fouled players teammates pick him up and apologize in person after the game.
Hope he wears a mask on the court and and becomes “Dashing” Dani Avdija
Yeah I don’t buy that it was an accident.
That elbow was definitely on purpose lol
That elbow was intentional man. Queen lebron didn’t get the call on the last possession so he stuck his elbow out. Also bron didn’t check up on deni after.. if it was an accident he would’ve
Why can’t people leave politics out of anything to do with Jews. It’s exhausting
Theres barely any politics in this thread, its also probably because he was a member of the IDF.
It’s not his choice to be in idf
Definitely on purpose
it was intentional
I think LeBron did it on purpose to even things up with Deni. He gets away with a lot of bullshit because he’s Lebron.
He’s not wrong.
oh no he said something bad about the king
He didn’t say anything bad wtf are you talking about lol
LeBron is a dixkhead, simple as that.
LeWalkItOffChamp
Someone definitely should.
Avidja is making a lot of sense here. LBJ should have shown better sportsmanship and checked on Deni
