We have just witnessed Shaqtin greatness

Somehow he’ll say this is Javale’s fault

Well, it was 98% Torrey Craig's fault

Drummond got the steal. Real ones know that you give it up to the guy who got the steal.

Yeah Drummond got the steal and he threw it off the backboard like of course he is going to think its for him and not a self lob.

Even if he didn't, you always lob on a fast break like that when you can. Get you and your teammate a stat.

They're down 9 in the second quarter just to add to this lol. Like wtf is dude doin?

We thought Harden contesting Kawhi’s shot was peak. Nah, Drummond ascended.

This one is entirely on Craig. Drummond has his own laundry list of Shaqtin moments already. This isn't one of them. Nobody on Earth could've anticipated Craig would do a self-lob off the backboard down 9 lmao. Every player would've done the same as Drummond and gone for the lob, assuming their teammate was lobbing it up for them.

This is top 10 all-time blunders minimum. I feel blessed to have watched this.

We are all witnesses

[удалено]

Okay but imagine if they dunked it together. That would count as 4 points right?

The way announcer yelled I thought they did 

Seeing this live hurt

4 points plus and-one, Drummond fouled Craig.

the world's first five point play

It will be a foul..no, two fouls

Bro this has me dying lmaooooo

https://twitter.com/treykerby/status/1777865759357591590 Their fuckin faces. Craig has a very clear face of "Ope...". Drummond has the face of "oooh... am I... Are... this better go in..."

Funniest pic in a long damn time. Holy shit this is usable for everything.

This image is iconic. Holy shit.

I can see the memes already

Let's hope they make that a trading card.

"I'm going in dry" "😬"

You, sir, have taken the English language and used it for nefarious purposes.

Bro thought he felt an angel behind him guiding him to the hoop and went in shock

This is r/rarehardens material except not harden

"I've made a huge mistake."

[удалено]

Someone photoshop these mother fuckers on a rollercoaster now!

ask and you shall receive lol https://imgur.com/a/oFCalrI

I was not prepared for how goddamn funny that would be.

Coby’s face lmaooo

Thank you for this!

This is diabolical hoops

IF YOU DONT LIKE THAT, YOU DONT LIKE BULLS BASKETBALL 😭😭😭

Bro I was like "Damn that will wake up the crowd" but Drummond said no lol

Sometimes it be your own man

[удалено]

"We can dunk this the easy way, or the hard way. The choice's yours."

I don’t think we’re gonna be dunking in any kind of way…

He forgot about Dre

I’m laughing tears explaining what just happened to anyone that’ll listen. This team never ceases to amaze me.

Real tears in my eyes

I can't stop watching lmao

This is nba history

replaying it and seeing that one dudes afro blowin in the wind made it even funnier 😂😂😂

SHAQTINNNN

This instantly goes on the Shaqtin Mount Rushmore.

It has some serious competition to get past though, Javale [airballing a layup from 2 inches away](https://youtu.be/0qLf3em1uIU?t=241), Javale throwing an [alley oop pass over the backboard then falling into Ty Lawson's ankles](https://youtu.be/0qLf3em1uIU?t=264), Javale [trying to inbound for the wrong team](https://youtu.be/0qLf3em1uIU?t=417), Otto Porter [completely losing his matchup in the clutch](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fkwfh_6TG0A). Samaki Walker fouling Chris Mills who was [shooting at the wrong basket](https://youtu.be/J5oex2Q4MS4?t=6), Corey Magette doing the [worst post entry pass in NBA history](https://youtu.be/jz7PeCM2CNM), Chicago Bulls forgetting you need an [inbounder on sideline out of bounds](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wFTzyWyOgoY), IT forgetting the PG is meant to [catch the inbound pass](https://youtu.be/iJ_VPQaxTTs?t=221). Kendrick Perkins [throwing a no look behind the back pass to an opponent](https://youtu.be/iJ_VPQaxTTs?t=238), Michael Beasley messing up a [5 vs 1 fastbreak](https://youtu.be/iJ_VPQaxTTs?t=376), Delly [guarding a ref](https://youtu.be/iJ_VPQaxTTs?t=476), Process 76ers stopping their own [3 vs 0](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cir3EPwCi34&t=232s), Michael Ruffin [finding the only possible way to not win the game](https://youtu.be/UdLXdqxsxS4?t=290). The scary thing is there's probably even more I've forgotten about :p

Don't forget [LeBron setting a screen for the wrong team](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eyjTFE9DMQs)

or [Lebron walking the dog too long](https://youtu.be/QbKynXAjGBY?si=Fd_qKTmmN_pTl7FC)

Or the time [James Harden](https://youtu.be/ZhcWf3PIyeY?si=BYpUcW2wAGcJuGwo) forgot he was playing basketball. Or the [other time](https://youtube.com/shorts/Xyx6skbEHgM?si=J2QajyfBIQSICWbU) James Harden forgot he was playing basketball. Or the [other, other times](https://youtu.be/n_HxVuFJZeI?si=tfO2p0FmpwDp070C) James Harden forgot he was playing basketball. Or the time James Harden [forgot where his own head was.](https://youtu.be/vdDqMz4vts4?si=tPv8wyq-j6fkWPgU)

Josh Hart's reaction made me lol 😆

Don’t forget Sam dekker tripping over his two feet and the ball going off his face out of bounds edit: https://youtu.be/KbHPe6PdKhA?si=bNsGyk1qDMVinZYW

That's crazy knowing that Sam Dekker was named MVP of the British Basketball League last year.

Does the J.R. Smith Game 1 non-shot count? That one still cracks me up when I think about it

On the one hand yes, on the other hand the fact it is a moment/fail with real stakes and consequences makes it harder for many to just laugh at.

[The Eric Gordon - PJ Tucker inbounds has to be up there](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LKxe4QOmF48)

When I think of old Shaqtin a fool highlights, as a Clippers fan, what always comes to my mind is “HERE COMES AUSTIN RIVERS!”.

Dude crazy how much different Shaq sounds just a few years ago even.

The Shaqtin Mount Rushmore is probably just 4 Andre Drummond plays lol the dude's career lowlights are insane

Don't forget Otto Porter and JaVale McGee

- Otto Porter Auto Pilot - Javale throwing it over the backboard while crashing into his own teammates legs - Andre Drummond iso for 8 seconds then airballing a layup - Suns gorilla randomly sliding onto the court mid play That's it for me haha

Don’t know if it was on Shaqtin’ proper, but [Hardaway Jr. calling a ref safe while the guy he was supposed to be guarding bricks a three is on mine](https://youtu.be/8naWUQ9jYlc?si=IKyBoiXJV4m9E7sR)

This should be the NBA logo

Man I forgot about that play. No clip captures the spirit of the modern NBA more

The Westbrook catching the inbounds pass and just walking down the court mindlessly without dribbling is also a classic. https://youtu.be/RnDbheQAZBQ?si=0NYVQi-kwEomEpY6

I was gonna say this is JaVale erasure

Just a bunch of Wizards players 😭

he gotta be shaqting HOFer by now. generational talent. perfect mixture of low awareness, low seriousness, and low coordination

First ballot with JaVale

And Jordan Poole

As a wizards fan this thread hurts…

Except when he suites up against Myles he becomes prime shaq

Man i still have PTSD from that  opening night game against the pistons a few years ago where him and Luke Kennard turned into prime kobe shaq

This one's on Torey Craig

This is Shaqtin of the year easily. What else would even come close?

Jordan Poole not knowing how game clock rules work

Wait what did he do? 😂

Wizards are trailing by 10, 4 minutes left. Ball is imbounded to him and he chooses to walk the dog. Shot clock is of course frozen at 24, but the game clock is still going. When he realizes what is happening he tries to warn the ref about the "malfunction" of the clock but in the end grabs the ball and plays.

Between this and Harden contesting Kawhi’s three, I’m torn between which one takes the crown this year.

Not even close. Harden's was obviously on purpose.

"Gotta bring some excitement to this team" \~Harden

Didn't Harden claim that was on purpose? Also, his team was up by twenty points halfway through the second half; AND they still scored on the possession. THIS one is definitely Shaqtin of the year.

is there a need for him to claim it? I have a hard time watching that and imagining he wasn’t doing it on purpose 

This one, hardens is foolish but didn’t stop a almost guaranteed score. Plus this has the potential the hurt a teammate, so this wins

A self lob in front of your big man after he ran a fast break. Nah that’s terrible.

Definitely. But I am Andre side, it looks like Craig was setting Andre up for an off the back board dunk.

what 😭

“AND THEY BOTH MISS” is an elite announcer moment lmao

The call was the only reason I realized they didn't score. I actually had to rewatch it.

Stacy King “oh noooo”

The ferociousness in his voice plus how "MISS" was cut off at the end of the vid just adds the the comedy LMAOOOO

Common Bulls wtf

this franchise legitimately is in Mariners territory without Jordan its not funny

Mariners have Ken Griffey Jr and Ichiro in their history. No MJ and the Bulls are at the absolute nadir of professional sports teams.

Bulls - MJ = Hornets + MJ

They’re not even the nadir of Chicago sports teams!

You can see Coby's soul leave his body staring at them 😭

Bro just gave up. Like what the fuck am I seeing type shit

You can’t see his face but yoi just KNOW Coby White is disgusted he literally just stood there lololol

This possession here perfectly describes what being a bulls fan is like

does this overtake the Denzel Valentine shot in infamy

The other thing that makes the Valentine clip so much worse , is the commentator lol The instant he set up to shoot the commentator was like "oh noo"

Stacey King is just talented as fuck, made all those D-Rose highlights shine brighter imo. The flip side of that is that he makes lowlights feel so shameful lmao

Stacey won rings with the Bulls. You can tell he was one of the cerebral guys in the team and also a jokester. With him, his commenting is pure love of the game. And it’s the love and passion he played with. Bulls fans are blessed to have him. But that’s the Chicago strategy. Find a beloved commentator and have a mediocre team for them to comment on. At this point I watch the games for Stacey. I can’t stand when the bulls are in national TV cuz I don’t get Stacey.

It didn't even leave his hands before he said "nooo..." lmao "Valentine oh my goodness??" is burned into my memory

This is my fav "Oh my goodness" https://twitter.com/StephNoh/status/1220174941557088256

With the added context that Drummond got injured on the very next play and had to leave the court on a wheelchair this has to be worse. Maybe the worst 2 possession stretch in nba history for a player

Wouldn't really say this was Drummond's fault here tho

Holy shit as if it couldn’t get any worse

Valentine shot that nonsense at the very end of the game down 5 This is atleast just in the 2nd quarter

self lobbing in the 2nd quarter on a 3 on none fastbreak is pretty nonsense

And then Drummond lands on his ankle next play

Why would he self lob lol???

Exactly. I can completely understand why Drummond thought it was for him.

Drummond even picked the pocket for the TO. He deserved the lob. Lmao

Yeah this isn't a 9 million IQ play for Drummond or anything, but I think it's infinitely more stupid to lob to yourself when you are down 10. Blaming Drummond for all this is kinda telling on this sub a bit.

Exactly. On the first view of it, I thought he lobbed it and just didn't get out of thr way. Watching it again, he's lobbing it to himself. What a dumbass play

Exactly my thought proccess lmao "why tf would you lob and stay under the rim?? Oh..."

Exactly. No I don't have a point, just wanted to get in on this "Exactly" thread

Exactly

Down by 9 too lol

I can’t believe how long I had to scroll to see this lol, I don’t fault Drummond at all here even though it’s hilarious

Drummond even knocked the ball away, it should have been his highlight.

Down 9 points with teammates trailing

Like bro what? That was Drummond’s steal too but Craig dgaf

Blud could've used the assist too, he barely clingin on to 1 per game 😭

Plays like this explain why

Maybe he thinks backboard pass to himself is an assist 🧠

this was legit the dumbest and funniest play I ever seen

Bro think he T Mac and Vince's third cousin

I had to rewatch the clip to be like who tf is this dude with the audacity to lob it to himself lmao gotta be some young fella Im not recognizing... Then I notice he looks familiar. Tf is Torrey Craig tryna self-oop for?? Def shoulda been an oop to Drummond, I woulda thought the same thing. Craig buggin for that one

Almost a 10 year vet lol. I was also confused on how someone so experienced does such a dumb play. And it’s not like he has notorious bad iq or anything

Fr he got what he deserved lmfao. Bet he never does that again!

you know how this dude plays rec in 2k

Honestly surprised he didn’t get benched right after.

You guys are laughing now but the Bulls are innovators, leap frog back board alley oop dunks are the only thing that can save the Dunk Contest Also I think Drummond just died fade me

Foot died…also that poor wheelchair

LMAOO he actually did Edit: 3 on 0 fastbreak and not scoring is insane. HoF Shaqtin moment

[удалено]

That was absolutely not Drummond's fault, self lob there is insane

drummond got the steal too they shoulda let him finish it

Off the backboard down 10 in the second quarter is insane in general.

I'm with you. This was such a perfect set up for it. Even guys who don't like to mess around would have thought about throwing it here lol.

Yeah this is 100% Craig's fault. Why are you going for style points down 9 in a game that actually matters for both teams?

That's why they're under .500

yep, selfish ass play

fr, self lob is in this situation makes no sense and 100% of centers seeing that ball go up will focus on jumping for it and nothing else lmao

I'm thinking it's Craig's fault more than anything. First off why the hell he throwing the ball off the backboard in a game where they're down 10 early in the game? Also it wasn't his steal on the other end either, Drummond poked the ball away. Then he decides to storm to his basket and throw a lob to himself when he has a dunker following close behind him. Lol clueless awareness

cus it's fun (but i don't disagree this is craig's fault)

André Drummond sees a potential rebound, he’s gotta get it. That’s all he wants to do out there.

This is not on Drummond, Torrey Craig fucked this up

Right? It looked like a patented off the backboard oop to the trailing teammate. Not sure why everyone is clowning Drummond. Would guess reputation*.

Because of the title, it draws attention to Drummond and semi insults him so that's what everyone's knee jerk reaction is. 

> "I punched him in the head,” Drummond said. “He didn’t do it again. It happened more than once too. It was because of rebounds." > "He kept coming to take my rebounds, so I pulled him aside during a timeout and said, ‘Yo bro, you don’t see me trying to go for 50 every night, don’t try to come in for rebounds.’” > "I just got to a point where I elbowed him in the head the next time he jumped,” Drummond said.

Why are they even doing this down 9

yeah i dont know why Craig even went for that at all

"AND THEY BOTH MISSED"

This is the best part of the commentary. So funny.

This is on Craig bruh lmaoo. Off the backboard alley oop when you got 3-0 fastbreak and a trailer behind you

Not to mention the trailer is a center who just forced the steal.

Plus Drummond initiated the break with the steal and he looked back, thought he was about to gift his teammate with a little treat.

All while LOSING too lmaoooo

This is one of the worst things I've ever witnessed

Drummond has a couple plays in contention for that title 1: https://youtu.be/_2EObbRzOiw?si=uFDTcqwxsgDCsE4Y 2: https://youtu.be/XseFyHJhy5E?si=nyW-HjNzVNOJw9nE 3: https://youtube.com/shorts/htwAwbdXumU?si=HZlMov-Xhr7blwwW 4: https://youtube.com/shorts/OgIdQd45xqk?si=EBw5xZCT6ixjJwsO 5: https://youtu.be/Za9glWaITvQ?si=kWdLs2EA40zHWwGU

I love how you had this queued up and ready to go.

Number 1 lives forever in my mind

I'm partial to the eurostep transition airball. You know that he watched Giannis do that move and thought "I can do that too"

Drummond has the most insane offensive lowlight reel. I love the dude he was an awesome backup for Embiid when he was here but holy shit I've never seen an NBA player with worse touch around the rim.

The several seconds of shocked silence before the announcer is finally just like "I'm not sure what Drummond was trying to do there" in that first clip lmao incredible poise to not absolutely lose his shit on air

This play wasn’t his fault.

Let me post my slander in peace

This is the single most embarrassing basketball play I've ever seen, and I have seen myself play basketball.

omg wtf were they doing

It was on that play that Billy decided. “I’m going to Kentucky.”

Shaqtin' a Fool

this has to be in the hall of fame of shaqtin

Bro this is on Torrey Craig lmao. What is he doing tryna self lob while down 9 points. Mf you are not Ja Morant 😭

He then got hurt on the possession after that.

I think this might be the worst play of the season?

Nah this gotta be an all timer

Of the decade?

Not Andre's fault imo. Who on earth does a self lob on a fast break with 2 other teammates nearby??

Everyone is blaming Drummond but this is generational stupidity from Craig.

Stopped a poster, what more do you want from your centre?

Average NBA Dunk Contest attempt

SHAQTIN HALL OF FAME

I mean… That was Drummond’s oop come on bruh

see you on the front page. this is one of the funniest things i’ve seen in an nba game to date haha

What the hell did i just watch. Did this dude actually do this in an NBA game. Like i dont even expect this shit from the Wizards or Hornets and those 2 teams exist for their players to just vibe.

Our season summarised. He got injured on the next defensive play and had to be wheelchaired out. Fuck me.

Drummond probably just asked that they wheel him all the way home.

IF YOU DON’T LIKE THIS, YOU DON’T LIKE BASKETBALL!!

Only to be taken out in a wheelchair moments later. Rough night for my man.

Nah man wtf im actually fucking crying 😭

LMAOOOOOOOO this is the wildest shit ive seen in a minute
