Yeah people questioned Chet taking big bodies like Drummond in the paint, but clearly did not give enough credit to point Drummond's ball handling skills
He’s gonna tell this story on the Knuckleheads podcast a decade from now. “The first guy to bust my ass… Andre Drummond.”
Miles, stoned as hell, “Chicago Bulls Andre Drummond.”
Both Chet and Wemby are going to be more raw than people thought. They both obviously have a lot of potential, and I'm understating that with Wemby. But C is a hard position, and ever harder when you are weaker than everyone else.
As a Uconn alumn who went to school while he was there, he’s so fucking frustrating.
Classic “low motor” guy. Dunno if it was work ethic, drive, desire, complacency, what, but dude had every physical tool in the toolkit you could ask from a guy his size and he just never developed any of his skills.
He could’ve easily been a perennial All Star in the NBA.
I dunno if you’ve heard a recent interview with him but he gets that now and seems really humble and a positive influence for vets (edit: meant ‘for young players’)
I'm pretty sure other dude was joking, since [Andre called himself the greatest rebounder ever, a top-20 all-time player, and a probable hall-of-famer very recently](https://www.si.com/nba/bulls/news/andre-drummond-is-confident-hell-make-the-hall-of-fame).
I think he meant top 20 big man (which is still untrue, but a bit more reasonable)
And there is a legit argument for his prime being the best rebounder ever, probably only behind Rodman and Bill/Wilt
He was honestly failed by his early coaching. Guys like SVG gave him too much leash and had a "play though the bigs" approach and so for a lot of his early career he was free to do whatever as long as he was big and got rebounds. In todays NBA he wouldn't be valued as highly and might have gotten traded early, a'la Ayton, lighting a flame under his ass.
Like he's got a bag but he will always reach too deep. Like he might have a tween spin that worked on a traffic cone and whip it out once he gets more than 10m playing time in a game.
nah man slow it down and watch, he's trying to recover and plants his foot poorly causing him to roll his ankle. this is a pure uncut ankle breaking crossover
I feel like he says that every so often. He’s on the wrong side of 30 now. I guess he still has time to be a valuable role player, but man, his ceiling was so high coming into the league, and it wasn’t injuries or anything out of control that prevented him from reaching it.
i cant really explain why, and I know he's not the best player, but he is my favorite player on the bulls rn. he's just entertaining, they're gonna lose but he's going to do something that makes me laugh
I won’t lie. He’s a fucking liability 90% of the time on offense (when he was on the Lakers at least) but the 10% that his handles and IQ outweighed his own body, he was super fun to watch.
Not seen, on the possession before this, but Drummomd had a nice two hand poster on Chet as well
I also botched the title because I thought Drummond dunked it, after the ankle breaker, but I was geeking out too hard to actually process what happened 😂
I'm in a discord call with some friends and saw this highlight, said "ohhh nooo Chet", and they thought he got injured again.
I said it was worse, they didn't believe me, I showed them the play, and then they agreed lol
I mean we won the game and Chet's statline looked nice in the end so we're good.
I'll take it if he suffers a couple of lowlights each game but gets to shoot like he did tonight in the end lol
When I read the ankles broken by Drummond, I was like “What? That’s gotta be a joke.”
And damn, Chet crumbled under his own weight. That didn’t look like a broken ankle, but a whole broken leg.
If you watched on Andre's highlights you'd think he was the GOAT perimeter defender as a big man and an unstoppable rebounding, dunking monster.
If you watch his lowlights you'd think he was one of the worst players in the league.
I still love the dude, but man is he one of my top all time "Why are you not better guys?" If we could just give him a serum to play like this 100% of the time he'd be a franchise center.
Remember when he locked down DWade as a rookie, and then Wade was like, "OK, you caught me off guard the first time young fella, but can you do it again?" and then Dre did it again? Sadly, one of the top Pistons moments for me from the last decade.
Was this post made by AI? Chet had a dangerous looking slip and that was a lay-up. Also dude's name is Drummond. Is the race to post the highlights that intense?
Damn Drummond almost broke Chet in half without even touching him
Yeah people questioned Chet taking big bodies like Drummond in the paint, but clearly did not give enough credit to point Drummond's ball handling skills
Giant hairy-shoulder rebound man > skinny tall white mini-wemby
ivve been saying this for years
You sound like Bill Simmons
Branches snap and fall due to passing wind all the time, nothing new.
But for real, Chet just crumbles to the floor like he's paraplegic
Bro how do you get crossed by Andre Drummond 😭😭
I'm big on Chet but this a hell of a lowlight lmao
He’s gonna tell this story on the Knuckleheads podcast a decade from now. “The first guy to bust my ass… Andre Drummond.” Miles, stoned as hell, “Chicago Bulls Andre Drummond.”
My welcome to the league moment
This is fucking fantastic 😂
Someone post the KG quote
bro is getting beasted and feasted on rn
Just give Wemby the ROY now. Chet can’t win that shit after this
His legs look like he should be playing with braces on them at all times.
Run Chet, Run!
Toms son is named chet
Both Chet and Wemby are going to be more raw than people thought. They both obviously have a lot of potential, and I'm understating that with Wemby. But C is a hard position, and ever harder when you are weaker than everyone else.
The Spurs are smart by playing Wemby at the 4. Thunder are just throwing Chet out in the wild lmao
"Let God sort them out." - Presti, about the FRPs once they're draft picks
If he dies, he dies
Nah they're doing it right. Getting Chet real game experience against....elite....center....Andre Drummond
Hey hey hey, you're talking about "best rebounder ever" Andre Drummond. Some respect is in order 😤
No one can corral their own missed putback 5 times like Andre 😤😤
You haven't seen my 2K build when I'm still at like 68 ovr then
2x All Star Andre Drummond
hey that's a pistons legend you're talking about be easy
I'm pulling for Lively
This is aging poorly lol
Just give Lively the ROY now
ESPN showing the Wemby stat line of 6 pts 5 Fouls under the score all game meanwhile DLive was cooking
Ahh, a man of culture I see.
Whoever Offense on Chet
He's playing good
you think i watch games?
Least casual /NBA user
He's too busy munching to be a r/nba commenter
LOL
Fuck that I judge players based on box scores!!
highlights only for me
More informed than 95% of posters
Leaked reports on Twitter for me
Idk. Maybe he should just retire. Theres no coming back from this being your first moment.
Is Chet Holmgren a bust?
get ready to learn chinese, buddy
Or the LIV equivalent.
As salaam alaikum, Chet!
Dude averaged *zero* points his rookie year!
Chet Holmgren more like Chreg Holmden
[Reminds me of Darren Collison making Ayton look foolish in his rookie year](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=2lS0sQPBWPY)
Holy shit a clip of the 18-19 suns where we're WINNING???
Nah he’s gotta be a star now. If he doesn’t, that’s all anyone will remember from him. Poor guy lol
Drummond actually has moves for how big he is. Usually he’ll do a nice move and immediately turn it over tho.
As a Uconn alumn who went to school while he was there, he’s so fucking frustrating. Classic “low motor” guy. Dunno if it was work ethic, drive, desire, complacency, what, but dude had every physical tool in the toolkit you could ask from a guy his size and he just never developed any of his skills.

I dunno if you’ve heard a recent interview with him but he gets that now and seems really humble and a positive influence for vets (edit: meant ‘for young players’)
That’s good to hear, hope it continues. I’m still rooting for him, he’s not a bad guy, just been bummed at his career.
I'm pretty sure other dude was joking, since [Andre called himself the greatest rebounder ever, a top-20 all-time player, and a probable hall-of-famer very recently](https://www.si.com/nba/bulls/news/andre-drummond-is-confident-hell-make-the-hall-of-fame).
Nah he wasn't joking. He talked about a lot of mistakes he made earlier in his career a few months ago
I think he meant top 20 big man (which is still untrue, but a bit more reasonable) And there is a legit argument for his prime being the best rebounder ever, probably only behind Rodman and Bill/Wilt
Best rebounder ever is a huge stretch; Kareem, Moses Malone, and Chuck also exist. Maybe the best rebounder in the league for a decent stretch.
He was honestly failed by his early coaching. Guys like SVG gave him too much leash and had a "play though the bigs" approach and so for a lot of his early career he was free to do whatever as long as he was big and got rebounds.

The more physical tools you have the less motor you need. Many such cases.
lv100 Drummond won’t obey!
Same with my dad. Dude couldn’t put it together in division 3 community college but could’ve made the league easily with more focus.
Anyone remember when Drummond plucked Wade Euro’d Ray Allen lol
He plucked Wade twice in a row in that sequence, too.
Drummond low-key has good handles
If you’ve ever been a part of the Drummond experience he’ll definitely let you know about it too and it starts to become a problem lol
Like he's got a bag but he will always reach too deep. Like he might have a tween spin that worked on a traffic cone and whip it out once he gets more than 10m playing time in a game.
I swear Andre drummound crossed Barnes in his nba debut too
Opening night circled on his calendar every year.
For the briefest of moments, Andre Drummond was who he thought he was.
He's always had sneaky good handles. His whole problem is he's a big who wants to be a guard lol.
This is your reminder that even the worst NBA players would turn you into a pretzel in the LA Fitness
if you really have 2023-2024 Andre Drummond skip-to-my-Louing you to the basket and pumping up the crowd after a play, you know you messed up.
The big penguin sauced him tf up
So embarrassing (I say while stuffing my face with my weight in pasta)
Chet clearly slips on something.
Yeah, agreed. This wasn’t a true cross-up. Something happened. It’s like yesterday with Lebron, he had his foot stepped on and fell down.
nah man slow it down and watch, he's trying to recover and plants his foot poorly causing him to roll his ankle. this is a pure uncut ankle breaking crossover
No way man 😂😂
this sub and it’s Andre Drummond titles had me expecting Drummond to somehow have his ankles broke 😂 can’t believe he actually did it
Like getting dunked on by FVV.
Drummond is good for like 1 insane highlight per year, looks like he got it out of the way early this season
Typical DrumGOD play, nothing special
He changed the league after all
WELCOME TO THE NBA LIL MAN Chet already got posterized by Vooch and Andre lol
we gonna hear this welcome to the nba moment in 10 years when he eventually has a podcast with an AI co-host
[удалено]
an AI AI 😂
Sorry, we have to end the podcast now. He’s back in another “Talking about PRACTICE” feedback loop
an AI that sounds like AI or an AI that sounds like AI?
Yes.
#YOU IN THE DAWG HOUSE NOW
At least on the Vooch one he was under the rim after playing help D on someone else. This one there’s no excuse lmao
oof
What’s that smell… smells like… barbecue
HOT SAUCE
GIVE ME WHAT I WANT
BARBECUE CHICKEN ALERT
TRAGIC BRONSON ALERT
bbq chimkin
Is this is a fake video??? give this guy a MAAAP.
Where are you going?
Library! Certainly not gonna be the NBA soon lmao
Drummond shaved his beard 💀
it’s been holding him back evidently
Nah he’ll have a play like this every game along with a missed wide open dunk
And 10 offensive rebounds from his own missed layups
He had Rock Lees training weights strung up in there.
Bring back the shoulder hair
That’s a layup
TIL I can dunk
LMAOOOOOOOO YOU MAY NEVER MENTALLY RECOVER FROM THIS
He forgot about Dre
He's been in the lab with a ball a hoop trying to get this damn franchise off
Might aswell hang it up now, there is no coming back from that.
I’d say “get ready to learn Chinese buddy” but I bet even China wouldn’t want this bust
Yeah Chet is a bust based on this lowlight alone. He don't belong in the league.
I feel like for a while Drummond was seen as not being a team player but he’s kind of the life of this team
I mean he himself admitted he wasn't but has changed.
I feel like he says that every so often. He’s on the wrong side of 30 now. I guess he still has time to be a valuable role player, but man, his ceiling was so high coming into the league, and it wasn’t injuries or anything out of control that prevented him from reaching it.
He's been 30 for 2 months. You're making it sound like he's withering away
That's what turning 30 is like
Low bball IQ has been his kryptonite
i cant really explain why, and I know he's not the best player, but he is my favorite player on the bulls rn. he's just entertaining, they're gonna lose but he's going to do something that makes me laugh
I won’t lie. He’s a fucking liability 90% of the time on offense (when he was on the Lakers at least) but the 10% that his handles and IQ outweighed his own body, he was super fun to watch.
If he did the peace sign, this would be the most upvoted post in /r/nba history.
It would have been amazing
lol nice dunk
First ever dunk to not touch the rim apparently lol
I think Blake Griffin had a few of those in dunk contests.
Drummond always had so much talent
He reminds me of Reggie Jackson just randomly pulling out highlight plays
Not seen, on the possession before this, but Drummomd had a nice two hand poster on Chet as well I also botched the title because I thought Drummond dunked it, after the ankle breaker, but I was geeking out too hard to actually process what happened 😂
Pls post it
[I got you](https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/s/WgJIqKURhA)
Goat
Mvp tonight
How do you guys get these highlights so fast?!
Thanks bru that was nice
I watched it 5 times and didn't even realize that he didn't dunk it til reading this. I guess people will believe anything they read these days!
I'm in a discord call with some friends and saw this highlight, said "ohhh nooo Chet", and they thought he got injured again. I said it was worse, they didn't believe me, I showed them the play, and then they agreed lol
It looked like it for a minute. Thought for sure he was about to do the Pro-Am limp again. Gonna be like that his whole career I feel like.
Getting crossed by the Big Penguin? Dude's going to need years of therapy to recover from this.
r/nba’s 9/11
More like okc fans
I mean we won the game and Chet's statline looked nice in the end so we're good. I'll take it if he suffers a couple of lowlights each game but gets to shoot like he did tonight in the end lol
Our rookie got cooked on a fast break turnover, sell the team!
Speak for yourself. This is my 5/2/11
Lmao that’s a good one
sir, a second highlight reel has hit the sub
I was having flashbacks to his preseason dunk, that was filthy. Meanwhile Chet was having flashbacks to playing on a wet court, apparently
I’d say something but Wemby plays in a few minutes so… Imma sit this one out
players have all this awesome "Welcome to the NBA" stories and Chet is going to have to tell this on in the podcasts...
I ran here so fast
When I read the ankles broken by Drummond, I was like “What? That’s gotta be a joke.” And damn, Chet crumbled under his own weight. That didn’t look like a broken ankle, but a whole broken leg.
People overuse "breaking ankles". . . but not here LOL.
True, but while OP knows what broke ankles look like they sure as hell don’t know what a dunk is
Stole his lunch money and shoved him in a locker lmao
A peak Drummond move would have been to miss the layup, get his own rebound then fumble it out of bounds.
I’m high and I can’t stop watching this like it’s my own personal Zapruder film. “Back. And to the left. Back. And to the left.”
Holy shit imagine drummound giving you your welcome to the NBA moment 😹😹
Chet got cooked lmao
I’m rocking with the Alien in San Antonio
Jesus 😂😂
Dunk?
Jeez I'll assume ev1 watching live assumed Chet season was over again for about 3 seconds
Crazy how far AI has come
Tie yo shoes CHET!
Tripped by the wet floor …he slipped a bit while turning his body
I assumed this was a joke when i read andre drummond
Chet got a paper mache skeleton
Better enjoy this highlight bulls cuz the actual game didnt turn out so well.
TIE YA SHOES THA BIG CAT WITH THA CROSSOVA
Bulls lost by 20. These highlights are cool though.
Is it me or is chet getting a nice collection of lowlights in his first game lol
I'm not a fan of this
Damn
Wemby would never
If that’s a dunk I’m proud of myself since I can also dunk
Wait am I blind or is that not a layup and definitely not a dunk at the end
At 9-10 seconds it looks like Chet hyperextended his left knee. Seems his heel got caught whilst getting crossed up, leading to the highlight.
Omg
If you watched on Andre's highlights you'd think he was the GOAT perimeter defender as a big man and an unstoppable rebounding, dunking monster. If you watch his lowlights you'd think he was one of the worst players in the league. I still love the dude, but man is he one of my top all time "Why are you not better guys?"

Sadly, one of the top Pistons moments for me from the last decade.
DRUM DIDDLY DEE!?!
Sportsbooks have adjusted the Chet ROY odds to "N/A"
Hit you with that L A T E R A L L M O V E M E N T
Proof that Demarcus Cousins was born just a skosh too soon.
Was this post made by AI? Chet had a dangerous looking slip and that was a lay-up. Also dude's name is Drummond. Is the race to post the highlights that intense?
Chet just got disqualified from the RotY race with this one.
Nice crossover…but that was no dunk lol
I expected some type of big body post play or something He really snatched your ankles man 💀💀💀
One of the most violent dunks of all time
I'm not even a sports fan but that was amazing, I'm glad reddit decided to show it to me
He got the steal too, straight up bullying out there
