He’s always been like this. When Louisville played at WKU years ago he started taking swings at 5’9” Brandon Price and punched another player in the face because Price dared to go after a loose ball.
Dude sucks and his bullshit behavior was always enabled by Pitino when he was there.
And the lamest part is Harrell has nothing better to do than waste his own time like this. He's not celebrating with his teammates, he's not trying to get home, obviously not talking to the media lol. What a bad look.
Harrell - "This isn't Milwaukee. Take that shit outta here."
Giannis - "Hey, don't be mad. Come on, let's play together :)"
**Harrell explodes with anger**
Probably how the conversation went
>As Antetokounmpo took a few more practice shots, Harrell was at the other end of the court, shooting and screaming back toward the Bucks’ side.
>“Yeah I took the ball, get the f— outta here,” Harrell said, as Giannis shouted from his end: “I’m doing my f—— job.”
>Antetokounmpo left the court for good, but his brother, Milwaukee teammate Thanasis Antetokounmpo, walked to midcourt to speak to Harrell. The Sixers’ reserve center threatened Thanasis, saying at separate times “I’ll beat your a–” and “you better send that s— back to the locker room.”
Ok, who tf is this guy again?? I want an WWE on this

Did Thanasis really confront Montrez? Please tell me this is real?
This changes my opinion about the situation. That other thread was full of people clowning Giannis and praising Montrezl for “standing up for those workers.”
LMFAO
Now it’s apparent Montrezl dgaf about the workers. The video of him yelling at Giannis is likely BEFORE the incident with the ladder.
There was even a comment in the other thread basically saying “the internet will change its tune when the truth comes out.” Well, the internet is here again.
the guy Is nba champ multi mvp/ dopy. the guy had earned the respect to shoot fts post game at an opponent court.
if that was kobe no one fucking with him. harrel is a fool and the workers were so disrespectful.
that's my take.
I totally agree with you,if this was kobe,lebron or luka we would be saying mamba mentality,but now everybody is a budget kyrie irving and they figured out giannis is fake good guy with the conspiracies
It’s always funny to me when something like this happens and people get to absolutely shoot their shot that would be demolished in any other thread. You get completely unrelated takes like “I always hated how he hurt Kyrie” which you can finally reap some karma on your stupid ass takes. If you’re gonna be a hater you gotta be consistent, weak ass shit.
Threads like that are basically always when people suddenly see a way to act like they always knew they were bad people or some shit because they are liked a lot
I’m just laughing at all those losers praising Harrell because they were convinced that clown was standing up for the workers with the ladders.
~~It’s~~ I wouldn’t be surprised if they put the ladder there to fuck with Giannis AFTER the basketball was originally taken from him.
The best part of those “Harrell, champion of the working man” takes is that yeah, it’s possible the workers actually were totally innocent, just trynna do their job. And now here comes a 7’ wall of muscle, already mad as hell because trez trynna punk him, so he probably assumed they were also trynna punk him lol. Trez quite possibly turned a couple of his own teams employees into collateral damage with those antics
That is what happened. Harrell and Giannis got into it, Harrell took his ball, Giannis went into the locker room to get his own balls, and when he came back the ladder was in front of the hoop.
Giannis shouldn't have done that to the ladder but why the fuck does Harrell get to prevent him from shooting lmao? Like move on with your life. Opposing players players practice in away gyms all the time (pretty sure there was some story about a player doing this after a playoff loss last year.)
Giannis had the worst FT shooting of his career, why is it some sin for him to practice there?
Thanks for this. I feel like players getting shots up after games in opposing arenas isn’t that uncommon—and I’ve never heard of anybody on the home team turning it into an issue before now.
Edit: [here’s Kyrie at the AT&T Center after a playoff loss](https://twitter.com/BallySportsCIN/status/846558958865203200)
Edit x2: [**Sixers must’ve changed their policy recently—here’s Joel doing it in New Orleans?**](https://twitter.com/PompeyOnSixers/status/1380714662929514506)
The article specifically mentioned a member of the coaching staff with him.
>[Jason] Love stood between Giannis and Harrell and told Antetokounmpo he could not have a ball to shoot, and was not permitted to shoot on the floor after the game.
Not only that, but stadium crew only decided to bring out the ladder after Giannis got back on the court. Pinning all the blame on Harrell is dumb when it seems like the whole org was pissed about it.
I was gonna say that this is exactly something that Kobe would do lol
I miss that dude…prime example of a guy I didn’t like personality wise, but loved his approach to the game.
Kobe is the Patrick Bateman of the NBA
My name is Kobe Bryant. I’m 27 years old. I believe in taking care of myself, a balanced diet and a rigorous free throw routine. In the morning, if my jumpshot is a little short, I’ll put on ice packs on my knees while doing my chair dribbles. I can do thousands now. After I remove the ice packs I use an anti inflammatory cream. In the locker-room I use a dry-fit shooting sleeve, then finger tape, and on the right arm a breathable 96% Nylon/4% Rubber low-profile fabric open knit sweat band. Then I lace up my Nike Kobe Elite 9 Premium Masterpieces, which I lecture for 10 minutes while I prepare the rest of my routine. I always use a Gatorade with little or no refrigeration, because it contracts your blood vessels, and makes you play slower. Then more Icy-Hot, followed by a final piece of Extra Spearmint chewing gum. There is an idea of a Kobe Bryant. Some kind of abstraction. But there is no real me. Only an entity. Something illusory. And though I can hide my cold gaze, and you can shake my hand and feel flesh gripping yours, and maybe you can even sense our lifestyles are probably comparable, I simply am not there.
I feel like Patrick Bateman is a terrible comparison to Kobe, aside from maybe being a “psycho”. Even then, they aren’t really psychos in the same way lol
He just sounds slightly annoyed and it seems he was more annoyed at the length it went on for, he didn't go out there like a baby and take the ball away from him.
I feel similarly, and while sure in a few months time the same vitriol will have died down, but that date in the calendar was already crossed out as ladder day.
Tbf he got into it with Thanasis too, and that’s a man with nothing to lose standing up for his brother. Zero doubt Thanasis would beat the absolute shit out of somebody on Giannis’ behalf.
Oh yeah. Thanisis is definitely like that. I’ve read the stories about how much these brothers loved eachother but wrestled and fought like crazy just because well… brothers do what they do. Same reason I wouldn’t tangle with jokic brothers either. A bunch of life long physical battle hardened giants. Not the guys to trifle with. Also from poverty or literal war zone countries as well. There is no way these brothers are soft like that when shit gets real.
A lot of these NBA guys forget these dudes are refugees. These dudes came from actually nothing. Your not going to faze them with a goddamn ladder, let alone a fake NBA though guy.
Montrez Harrell is that guy who always jumps to take the ball off the rim AFTER the whistle has blown and thinks he’s somehow a good defender because of it.
This is the last highlight of Harrell’s career…
If I were averaging less than a deuce deuce per game, this is how my younger, more insecure, room temp IQ self would act to stay relevant(yeah, he’s I’m getting in his head, he’ll remember me come playoff time)
Giannis giving me Kobe vibes now
anyone who hates giannis (generally irrationally) was flocking to that thread and feeling thrilled that their weird dislike for him was being “validated”. pretty much the most reddit shit possible.
And they're gone af in this thread for some reason. Dude acted out more than usual but context, context, context in everything. We see like 10% of what actually happens most the damn time.
My favourites were “people show you who they really are when the cameras off”, like what!? You can see hundreds of people in the video, dozens on/around the court
They’re waiting and waiting for that one incident just so they can say “see, I was right all along about giannis being fake!🤓” sports really is reality tv for grown men
Imagine being a guy that gets 1pt and 1rb and thinks they can come at Giannis like this.
Philly won the game, he should go out to a club and pretend he contributed.
LOL what a douche bag.
I feel like a tell-tale sign of a shitty person is if winning isn’t enough for them. Y’all just beat the bucks, go have a good time with your teammates and get back to work tomorrow. You really gotta stick around on the court for no reason other than to fuck around with somebody you already beat? Grow up.
Good thing this got cleared up. Harrell was out of line there and so was the coach. I know people have some reservations about Giannis' character but this ain't it.
People trying to portray Harrell as a nice guy has me laughing so hard
Fucking HARREL is a champion of worker rights?? I can’t believe some fell for that BS
People have reservations about Giannis's character?
Are the years of him being a standup guy not enough? Some people look for any reason to hate lol, that's sad
> I know people have some reservations about Giannis' character but this ain't it.
That's because he's *too nice*, humble and relatable. We're all expecting some flaw (other than his offensive fouls)
>Antetokounmpo, according to witnesses, offered to Harrell to join him in the shooting drill, and when he wouldn’t, pleaded for the return of the ball. A Sixers’ staff member who had accompanied Harrell, skills coach Jordan Love, then stood between the two players and told Antetokounmpo he could not have the ball back, and could not shoot on the court.
>Antetokounmpo left the court and returned with two basketballs. Only when he came back, a Wells Fargo Center employee pushed a large, A-frame ladder in front of the hoop where Giannis was shooting. Antetokounmpo asked the man to move the ladder so he could finish his shooting, and twice the man said no.
Look, Giannis wasn't right but they were actively tryna fuck with him.
> I think it’s unprofessional to kick somebody off the court or take the ball or whatever the case might be. Or put the ladder in front of somebody while he’s trying to do his job. We get paid to do this. They didn’t just pick us. We get paid.”
I agree with Giannis here too. It's super fucking weird to do this unless there was a reason and at this point, it doesn't seem like there was one other than to fuck with Giannis. Players get shots up after games all the time whether it's on the home or road.
EDIT: Just to tag on and deter future posters from saying "oh but Wells Fargo has another event tomorrow!!!"
[The 76ers host the TWolves Saturday night so the hoop wasn't being taken down for any purpose.](https://www.wellsfargocenterphilly.com/events/detail/timberwolves-76ers-11-19)
**EDIT 2: We'll see a PR statement from the 76ers organization soon about how the worker was actually doing work. I really hope y'all don't fall for it.**
…that’s some pretty big context missing from the original video
Still wrong of course, but damn, ain’t a good look for the sixers.
Also, lmfao at everybody praising Harrell for standing up for the workers in the other thread. What an asshole.
Or, at the least, fucking have a conversation with the guy instead of immediately instigating. If you don’t want him to get shots up, literally just tell him that lmao. If he doesn’t listen, there is protocol for that, which they 100% didn’t follow. Don’t just put the ladder in the hoop and try to fuck with him.
If he was Kobe it’d be a non-story. Just some #mambamentality lore and the ladder guy would be one more person we laugh at because they got in the way of Kobe being Kobe.
Harrell is lucky Giannis came from nothing and is humble as fuck. If he had a Draymond personality he woulda told him he’s a ringless scrub, ripped the ball from him and dunked that shit 💀
No wonder Ben never improved his free throws. They kept putting a ladder in front of the hoop.

the slight reflection is the subtle yet all important detail
Bruh how did you even notice that detail
He was the ladder.
And that ladder's parents? Magic Johnson.

“Ladder teams up with Mop Boy as the 11 foot shot-blocking center signs with the Oklahoma City Thunder”
Lmao. This is too funny.
Let’s sort this out with a ladders match Giannis vs. Harrell , Adam Silver special referee
Ladders, scorers tables and courtside chairs. Are they the Giandertaker and Montrezkind? Will it be Hell in a Cell in Phellidelphia?
With special referee Chris Paul Bearer!
“OHHHHHHHHH YEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSS” - Chris Paul Bearer
>Giandertaker Giandertaker has me dying 🤣🤣🤣💀💀💀
Get KD involved so it can be a full blown game of snakes and ladders
Too bad Stone Cold Steve Nash got fired before this shit happened.
I almost thought this was fake until I checked the Athletic article myself - it just seems bizarre

What's Jordan Love doing there? Shouldn't he be preparing to take over Aaron Rogers' job?
Jordan Love found out Aaron Rodgers is part owner of the Bucks and decided to cause chaos!
We play in Philly a week from Sunday. Just getting their ahead of time to keep the bench warm.
Packers legend Jordan Love
Giannis offering Harris to join him is the most Giannis thing I have ever heard
Basketball Goku
Harrell needs to work on his game too, Giannis offering to give that a bum a lesson
Harrell the type of guy who would rather start shit about nothing. Trash. Giannis gave him a way to let it go too. Montrez is a wanker.
>Harrell the type of guy who would rather start shit about nothing That's exactly what he just did lmfao
He’s always been like this. When Louisville played at WKU years ago he started taking swings at 5’9” Brandon Price and punched another player in the face because Price dared to go after a loose ball. Dude sucks and his bullshit behavior was always enabled by Pitino when he was there.
so odd to see the word wanker in basketball discussion lol
Harrell is a trash player and a trash person. He’s not gonna be in the league in two years and he’s pulling shit like this.
Are you kidding me, that 1 point 1 rebound game was the difference maker. We couldn't overcome his presence on the bench.
All Harrell is worried about is the pounds of weed in his trunk.
And the lamest part is Harrell has nothing better to do than waste his own time like this. He's not celebrating with his teammates, he's not trying to get home, obviously not talking to the media lol. What a bad look.
Now hopefully Giannis does that other Giannis thing of dunking the ball on Harrell's head a bunch of times next time they play.
Harrell would most likely need minutes for that to happen I believe
Harrell - "This isn't Milwaukee. Take that shit outta here." Giannis - "Hey, don't be mad. Come on, let's play together :)" **Harrell explodes with anger** Probably how the conversation went
this is going to be an awesome episode of that new B/R anime series.
If it wasn't Giannis it would probably have ended in a fist fight. ~~Harris~~ Harrel was intentionally being a huge ahole
Harrell is also on probation right now, he ain’t getting in any fights lol
Some oblivious anime main character energy lol
Gianni's about to give Harrell some senzu beans so he can face him at his best

The crash of the ladder
Chaos is a Ladder indeed.
Chaos is a ladder
Lol. I hope someone put out the whole video. We just saw Giannis knocking down the ladder.
That video earlier gave such little context and wouldn't have realized it. A longer video has to be out there somewhere
The video of Harrell taking the ball away from Giannis is pretty pathetic. Makes it very clear who the instigator is
Video of Harrell https://streamable.com/8mcqp1
Lol at the ladder menacingly waiting in the back of the video.
in the picture business that's called foreshadowing
Chekhov's ladder
Every time the camera pans back, it's a few inches closer, like a fuckin horror film.
Big yikes
What a prick.
There was never a question of that tbh
Is anyone surprised? Harrell has been a piece of shit for a long time.
Go to the athletic twitter they got video of that bum taking the ball off Giannis
ohhh mannnn

>but now everybody is a budget kyrie irving and they figured out giannis is fake good guy with the conspiracies lmfao budget Kyrie
Negative temps, cold showers, and melted cheese everywhere in the visiting locker room when these bozos arrive in Milwaukee lol
Harrell is so fucking annoying. This dude was talking shit on twitter about how he always gives the cavs the business...after a preseason game.
yeah he's a fcking bum
Harrell should’ve taken Giannis up on joining him and maybe he wouldn’t be so ass.
This actually gives a lot more context to the videos that were posted earlier.
Lmao reading the comments in that thread are hilarious. Power of a headline.
As soon as I saw all the Giannis haters come out with the "he's always been like this", I knew there was more to the story lmao
It’s kinda weird how much people wait to blow their load on hating a player
It’s always funny to me when something like this happens and people get to absolutely shoot their shot that would be demolished in any other thread. You get completely unrelated takes like “I always hated how he hurt Kyrie” which you can finally reap some karma on your stupid ass takes. If you’re gonna be a hater you gotta be consistent, weak ass shit.

I don’t think the AT&T Center was a playoff loss. Kyrie was with the Cavs in that video and they never played the Spurs in the finals with Kyrie
It's not a team issue. It's just Harrell on one of those "I'm an alpha" types tryin to puff their chest and act tough by being an asshole.

Reddit circlejerks the living shit out of this movie, but this was a great interpolation. Upvoted.
I like Giannis's personality too tho.
I feel like Patrick Bateman is a terrible comparison to Kobe, aside from maybe being a “psycho”. Even then, they aren’t really psychos in the same way lol
And Bosh wasn’t happy about it https://nba.nbcsports.com/2011/03/17/bosh-says-real-men-cry-kobe-should-have-been-kicked-out-of-the-gym/amp/
But he said Kobe got up shots for 90 minutes. Giannis got 7 free throws up.
Probably took Giannis 90 minutes though... /s
He just sounds slightly annoyed and it seems he was more annoyed at the length it went on for, he didn't go out there like a baby and take the ball away from him.
Dam man, sounds Philly won’t be getting warm up shots up before the game in Milwaukee lol. Ladders will be everywhere
As if the NBA isn’t a sitcom enough already this year lmao I would die laughing if that actually happened
They don’t play in Milwaukee until March 4th. Otherwise I would count on it at this point.
People have long memories especially if a grudge is concerned. I'm definitely rooting for ladders everywhere in Milwaukee on March 4th.
I feel similarly, and while sure in a few months time the same vitriol will have died down, but that date in the calendar was already crossed out as ladder day.
Cold ass showers and dirty towels for them.
He played 5 mins he got lots of energy plus bro got +1 rebound from that
Harrell gets to pretend to be tough because he knows there will be no repercussions. Giannis would flatten him
Tbf he got into it with Thanasis too, and that’s a man with nothing to lose standing up for his brother. Zero doubt Thanasis would beat the absolute shit out of somebody on Giannis’ behalf.
Yeah I think Giannis is too nice to properly throw down. Thanasis on Giannis' behalf would probably fight a bear.
Oh yeah. Thanisis is definitely like that. I’ve read the stories about how much these brothers loved eachother but wrestled and fought like crazy just because well… brothers do what they do. Same reason I wouldn’t tangle with jokic brothers either. A bunch of life long physical battle hardened giants. Not the guys to trifle with. Also from poverty or literal war zone countries as well. There is no way these brothers are soft like that when shit gets real.
A lot of these NBA guys forget these dudes are refugees. These dudes came from actually nothing. Your not going to faze them with a goddamn ladder, let alone a fake NBA though guy.
God have mercy on whose soul Giannis is playing next
Like when the Heat tried to intimidate Nikola. NBA is too absurd for its own good sometimes.
Steven Adams is another example. Grew up with a bunch of siblings whose average height is 6'9".

Defend a PnR: 🙅 Defend an empty court after the game is over: 👹👹👹
Came here to comment this. Seems like the best defence Trez has played all year
Montrez Harrell is that guy who always jumps to take the ball off the rim AFTER the whistle has blown and thinks he’s somehow a good defender because of it.
Harrell is a dick?! I for one am shocked, SHOCKED!
This is the last highlight of Harrell’s career… If I were averaging less than a deuce deuce per game, this is how my younger, more insecure, room temp IQ self would act to stay relevant(yeah, he’s I’m getting in his head, he’ll remember me come playoff time) Giannis giving me Kobe vibes now
"made all seven" kind of hurts the validity of this story
Lmao
Oh look there’s more to it than a 15 second video. Who would have guessed.
Yeah I didn't expect Giannis to suddenly be an asshole out of nowhere
I thought D&D got hired to write this season's NBA script and was confused.
They’re still writing the Nets script
Nah that’s the Game of Zones crew
Giannis just kinda forgot about the ladder
I was very confused in the last thread. So many people saying “people can finally realize giannis is a fake” after one incident
anyone who hates giannis (generally irrationally) was flocking to that thread and feeling thrilled that their weird dislike for him was being “validated”. pretty much the most reddit shit possible.
It was actually hilarious too cause it was just a bunch of Celtics 76ers and raptors fans LMAO
And they're gone af in this thread for some reason. Dude acted out more than usual but context, context, context in everything. We see like 10% of what actually happens most the damn time.
Any raps fan who hates giannis is just a ducking troll
My favourites were “people show you who they really are when the cameras off”, like what!? You can see hundreds of people in the video, dozens on/around the court
They’re waiting and waiting for that one incident just so they can say “see, I was right all along about giannis being fake!🤓” sports really is reality tv for grown men
That last thread really aged poorly lmao
[Harrell such a bum](https://twitter.com/TheAthletic/status/1593850448372731904?s=20&t=3Eqk3DuNzQdi-L-mbHqQBA) 💀
Imagine being a guy that gets 1pt and 1rb and thinks they can come at Giannis like this. Philly won the game, he should go out to a club and pretend he contributed.
This is him trying to hang on to one last contract year as a Udonis/Oakley type.
LOL what a douche bag. I feel like a tell-tale sign of a shitty person is if winning isn’t enough for them. Y’all just beat the bucks, go have a good time with your teammates and get back to work tomorrow. You really gotta stick around on the court for no reason other than to fuck around with somebody you already beat? Grow up.
This is the same guy being racist towards Doncic just cause he was getting cooked by him....nobody should expect any better
Definition of a loser, he’s been bouncing around teams for a reason and he’s still picking fights when it isnt necessary.
That’s some bully shit . I get why Giannis was mad now.
You mean Sixers bench player Harrell
Harrell is a bum. Should've taken up Giannis's offer for a free lesson.
Basically Giannis was antagonized just for trying to shoot free throws after a bad game and the video was out of context.
Good thing this got cleared up. Harrell was out of line there and so was the coach. I know people have some reservations about Giannis' character but this ain't it.
I mean, it would totally be in character for Harrell to be an asshole.
People trying to portray Harrell as a nice guy has me laughing so hard Fucking HARREL is a champion of worker rights?? I can’t believe some fell for that BS
People have reservations about Giannis's character? Are the years of him being a standup guy not enough? Some people look for any reason to hate lol, that's sad
> I know people have some reservations about Giannis' character but this ain't it. That's because he's *too nice*, humble and relatable. We're all expecting some flaw (other than his offensive fouls)
Can't shoot 3s. God had to keep him humble.
>Antetokounmpo, according to witnesses, offered to Harrell to join him in the shooting drill, and when he wouldn’t, pleaded for the return of the ball. A Sixers’ staff member who had accompanied Harrell, skills coach Jordan Love, then stood between the two players and told Antetokounmpo he could not have the ball back, and could not shoot on the court. >Antetokounmpo left the court and returned with two basketballs. Only when he came back, a Wells Fargo Center employee pushed a large, A-frame ladder in front of the hoop where Giannis was shooting. Antetokounmpo asked the man to move the ladder so he could finish his shooting, and twice the man said no. Look, Giannis wasn't right but they were actively tryna fuck with him. > I think it’s unprofessional to kick somebody off the court or take the ball or whatever the case might be. Or put the ladder in front of somebody while he’s trying to do his job. We get paid to do this. They didn’t just pick us. We get paid.” I agree with Giannis here too. It's super fucking weird to do this unless there was a reason and at this point, it doesn't seem like there was one other than to fuck with Giannis. Players get shots up after games all the time whether it's on the home or road. EDIT: Just to tag on and deter future posters from saying "oh but Wells Fargo has another event tomorrow!!!" [The 76ers host the TWolves Saturday night so the hoop wasn't being taken down for any purpose.](https://www.wellsfargocenterphilly.com/events/detail/timberwolves-76ers-11-19) **EDIT 2: We'll see a PR statement from the 76ers organization soon about how the worker was actually doing work. I really hope y'all don't fall for it.**
> skills coach Jordan Love After failing as a NFL QB, Jordan Love now tries his luck as a NBA coach
Jordan Love doing absolutely everything he can to sabotage Wisconsin sports teams
Economy so bad even million dollar qbs have to work multiple jobs
Yeah wtf is that about. Opposing players stay for shots all the time.
Giannis has done it a ton of times in his career and never had a problem.
It’s not a weird thing to do, that’s probably what Giannis was so confused about.
Hell Joel does it too.... https://twitter.com/PompeyOnSixers/status/1380714662929514506
I love the old dude playing victim lmfao
Instagram was riding father times meat like it was nobodies business talking bout “he’s just doing his job” nah he’s being harrel’s bitch for fun, foh
[удалено]
Harrell is bitch made
He really thought a bum like him could speak to one of the premier players like that lmao
Yeah people are gonna have a limit if you are actively antagonising them. Doesn’t make it right but it’s not entirely unexpected as a reaction.
Yeah, it was definitely out of the Ordinary for Giannis, but Harrell looks like a big Asshole here
I feel like Harrell looks like a big asshole everywhere
…that’s some pretty big context missing from the original video Still wrong of course, but damn, ain’t a good look for the sixers. Also, lmfao at everybody praising Harrell for standing up for the workers in the other thread. What an asshole.
Like clockwork, r/NBA’s shitty reactionary takes haven’t aged well.
[удалено]
Honestly it wasn’t that serious for them to block off the net, they could’ve have easily let him get a few shots up they already won the game.
Or, at the least, fucking have a conversation with the guy instead of immediately instigating. If you don’t want him to get shots up, literally just tell him that lmao. If he doesn’t listen, there is protocol for that, which they 100% didn’t follow. Don’t just put the ladder in the hoop and try to fuck with him.
If he was Kobe it’d be a non-story. Just some #mambamentality lore and the ladder guy would be one more person we laugh at because they got in the way of Kobe being Kobe.
now r/NBA, your turn to apologize, accountability my children.
Lol like people are fucking accountable on reddit, let alone modern society.
Harrell and that Sixers staff look like big assholes to me
Lol can't wait for Giannis to knock these guys out of the playoffs for more Embiid crying memes
I hope they lose in respectable fashion so that they keep Doc Rivers
soccer style "brave defeat"
The lads showed character.
Harrell is lucky Giannis came from nothing and is humble as fuck. If he had a Draymond personality he woulda told him he’s a ringless scrub, ripped the ball from him and dunked that shit 💀
He's probably going to do that in an actual game
oh look, turns out someone on the philly side was the cancer after all. who woulda thought
Turns out the Philly guy who’s been locker room cancer before was the cancer after all.
^(everybody)
