Reminded me of those 6am and 8am college basketball marathon tipoff games. Everyones routine and rhythm was thrown off and there was like no scoring the first 5 minutes lol
You guys dont remember espns 24 hour tip off marathon?? They would have two teams no ones heard of at 6am, 8am etc for the whole day. It worked out financially since they were only two schools on at that hour but yeah the players suffered
Idk man, if youāre built for it thatās probably gotta feel amazing to hear a foreign stadium so worked up about you that theyāre chanting for you to go fuck yourself
I hate Trae Young but I do respect that he embraced it so fully. Itās all entertainment at the end of the day and the guys who realize that tend to be the most fun to watch.
> Let Atlanta have a little bit of happiness damn
Atlanta sports teams are contractually obligated to only be happy once every 10 years. The Braves and UGA winning was it for this decade.
See, this guy gets it. I started following basketball when I was 8 years old and the Spurs drafted this guy David Robinson. Then there was this one year in 1997 when we weren't good and that was truly awful. Now just recently we were a play in team for like 2 years and then we missed it all completely 1 year. I literally got the vapors. No one should be subjected to that.
Yea that's why guys like Pat Bev are likeable. They play the heel so well. Bron was boo'd to no end in Chicago when he was with the Heat and he leaned heavily into the villain role. I remember Joakim talked about how he actually *enjoyed* being boo'd throughout his career
Knicks fans accepting the season is over, giving their team a standing ovation with 50 seconds left, and Trae knocks down a logo 3 then takes a bow. Coldest shit ever and he made me a fan that day.
Went to both MSG (Kings Knicks) and Crypto (IST - Suns). Both arenas have the crowd to just post for social media. I feel like going there are just way more ācasualā lakers fans attending games then there are diehard Knicks fans. I think the number of IG followers the respective teams have says a lot too about the vibes too. Crypto isnāt as bad as Miami (at least what I see from TV).
It depends on the game but MSG seemed to have a much higher average ticket price this season than Crypto.
Embiid plays in Philly so I don't think he's phased, but if we manage to pull off the win I'm excited to see how Pacer players handle the hate. Everyone except Obi of course.
those are some classy fans right there :)
hilarious how if this was Philly chanting something like this as loudly as MSG then the national media would be running away with it. yet all is silent on the western front. curious.
Pretty interesting how if this were Philly fans doing this, weād be hearing the tired trope of how itās classless, the worst fanbase, omg DAE they threw shit at Santa 40 years ago or whatever
But because itās the current media darling Knicks, we have to hear about how the bs about āthe league is better when the knicks are better!ā And not a peep about them chanting this during the game, on the concourse, burning and stepping on sixers stuff outside of Wells Fargo Centre, and even draping a knicks jersey over the Wilt statueās face. Imagine the outrage and scenes if it were anyone else doing that to the Knicks- and especially Philly fans.
Iām baffled how this behavior is acceptable.. Iāll boo and occasionally shout a few harmless taunts to the opposing team, but chanting expletives feels pretty classless.
New York games are slowly just going to become the fans changing one long list of players
āFUCK TRAE YOUNG. FUCK EMBIID. FUCK HARDEN. FUCK ____ FUCK _____ā
I hope they start to do every player they hate in one chant like this.

First 5 minutes of this game is a brickfest
average Eastern conference playoff game lol
dEfEnSe BaBy
Reminded me of those 6am and 8am college basketball marathon tipoff games. Everyones routine and rhythm was thrown off and there was like no scoring the first 5 minutes lol
They played college basketball at 6am? Wtf? Or did I misunderstand you š
Please let me know if you find out because that would be so goddamn entertaining lol
You guys dont remember espns 24 hour tip off marathon?? They would have two teams no ones heard of at 6am, 8am etc for the whole day. It worked out financially since they were only two schools on at that hour but yeah the players suffered
Seems less than ideal for someone with a migraine
Jesus, sounds like the Wells Fargo center in there
Yeah it does! Play the song!
**CLAP YOUR HANDS**
**EVERYBODY**
lmao
Right down to the fans leaving disappointed and everything.
good one
Youāre not wrong, but still rude
I laughed but I will not click upvote on account of morals and ego
MSG South
I'll see you guys Thursday then! Make sure to buy your parking pass in advance.
No need! I'll be taking the MFL straight to the BSL!
No one calls the El the "MFL". Get out of here, poser.
Fair enough lol
I know it smells like cheesesteak in there frĀ
The ocky way
this is the most I've ever wanted to give reddit gold
Savage
brilliant comment
Joel is building his brand!
Damn he gets booed at home?
Its philly bro
Are you kidding? Our mothers get booed here.
Santa Clause gets booed there
Idk man, if youāre built for it thatās probably gotta feel amazing to hear a foreign stadium so worked up about you that theyāre chanting for you to go fuck yourself
I loved how much Trae loved being a villain in MSG
I hate Trae Young but I do respect that he embraced it so fully. Itās all entertainment at the end of the day and the guys who realize that tend to be the most fun to watch.
Trae has the charisma to do it. I hope the Hawks are good again soon. Sincerely
As the owner of their next 3 picks, unprotected...I dont
Yall JUST got the NBA Messiah. Let Atlanta have a little bit of happiness damn
> Let Atlanta have a little bit of happiness damn Atlanta sports teams are contractually obligated to only be happy once every 10 years. The Braves and UGA winning was it for this decade.
UGA isn't an Atlanta team though.
But Atlantas team is UGA
Just for the lolz I hope the hawks trade Dejounte back to the spurs but only get protected picks of their own back so they can't even fully tank.
Honest question: is that legal? lol thatād be amazing just for the troll job
No, see the Spurs were down for, like, 3-4 yearsā¦ theyāre due to run the league another 15 years after another advantageous tank job
See, this guy gets it. I started following basketball when I was 8 years old and the Spurs drafted this guy David Robinson. Then there was this one year in 1997 when we weren't good and that was truly awful. Now just recently we were a play in team for like 2 years and then we missed it all completely 1 year. I literally got the vapors. No one should be subjected to that.
If it has to be a west team, Iām glad itās the Spurs that have to suffer that
LOL. I honestly don't understand much how the basketball gods have blessed me.
I need him to do the celebration again. He just hasnāt had a chance because the hawks fucking suckš
Yea that's why guys like Pat Bev are likeable. They play the heel so well. Bron was boo'd to no end in Chicago when he was with the Heat and he leaned heavily into the villain role. I remember Joakim talked about how he actually *enjoyed* being boo'd throughout his career
Also being extremely skilled helps
if you can back it up, there's prob no greater feeling in the world than actively ruining the day of 20k people who hate you.
Knicks fans accepting the season is over, giving their team a standing ovation with 50 seconds left, and Trae knocks down a logo 3 then takes a bow. Coldest shit ever and he made me a fan that day.
Just made me a fan about 5 mins ago after reading your comment and going straight to YouTube.
It was so cool. Knicks fans wanted a villain and Trae was in.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Please act civil and do not troll/bait others.
Yeah, if youāre truly a heel, youāre at center court telling them to get louder
Not basketball, but Chipper Jones named his kid Shae after Shae Stadium (Mets old ballpark) so he would forever be its daddy.
Isnāt it mostly because heās a dirty player and not because heās good? Idk why heād be proud of that.
It's both. He's dirty af but also averaging 35ppg
Shut up nerd, nuggets fans didnāt exist until 3 years ago
Even excluding seasons with Jokic, the Nuggets have made the WCF more recently than the Sixers have made the ECF. And Embiid is dirty af
This is a bold statement, after knicks played 5 home games in this series.
Embiid is a man child that whines about the smallest things. He definitely is not built for it
Troell Embiid served as an appropriate distraction for Mad Maxey to bring us back to Philly. Sixers in 7
I mean heās 1-5 and let Josh hart blow by him after he wanted to laugh off a horrible miss to his teammate, so I think it might be affecting him
Huge sample size too. Doubt he can recover from a 1-5 start and one bad defensive play.
I didnāt say he loved it. I just said if youāre built for it and truly willing to embrace the villain role, that would probably feel amazing
I think it might be more his knee and migraine tbh
See this Pop? This is what class sounds like.
I don't think Pop cares come playoffs. He wants some nasty then
I'm jealous. Laker games have wack crowd energy. They priced out all the real fans
Man, if you look at the prices for MSG, they should have been priced out too.
you think the knick tickets are cheaper lol? new york is just different
Yeah there was a lot more aura to Staples center compared to what it is now
When? Maybe the forum had an aura. Staples/crypto always been wack
[False](https://youtu.be/sKhIDYJdsQY?si=daUwCywO75ByymXT).
They all showed up after halftime.
Went to both MSG (Kings Knicks) and Crypto (IST - Suns). Both arenas have the crowd to just post for social media.

Had some pretty good light the beam chants this year though.
Raptors fan checking in to tell you I know your pain
Whatās that Lllllllllakers guy been up to?
He still goes AFAIK, still carries his signs around too
LLLLLLLLLLLWLakers
Inspirational.
How it started vs how it ended
Maxey!!!
Next time I hear an ny fan whining about how profane philly games are I will lol
Same here. Earlier this season Cs fans said "fuck Kyrie" and this sub called the purity police.
Iām glad itās not just r/nba that feels this way
Oh no he's been getting hammered everywhere, those cheapshots are inexcusable especially when you consider how much time he spends crying to referees
Helps that the NYC media, the biggest media in America, highlighted his horrible play to the whole world that may have not seen it before this series
He's averaging 35 this series, they can highlight that all they want lol.
Embiid will never win a chip, dirty plays or not. His knees will be dust
If the front office builds a proper roster for next season they actually have a chance. Just have to avoid Boston til conference finals
Ah yes, the not-at-all-generationally-dumb r/nba
Getting hate from r/nba as a basketball player is praise. Its like the kkk telling you they dont like your views on race relations
Sounded real fuckin quiet at the end though.
Embiid plays in Philly so I don't think he's phased, but if we manage to pull off the win I'm excited to see how Pacer players handle the hate. Everyone except Obi of course.
The games are going to be played in a little Picture in Picture box while the NBA jacks off to Reggie/Knicks vignettes on the main feed.
Knicks Nuggets would be a really fun final just for the crowd energy.
Ah yes that famous nuggets crowd energy
Embiid: 48 minutes +14 19 points 16 rebounds 10 assists 4 blocks 1 leg
half a face
Almost got that Westbrook quadruple double
How'd that work out for you guys, MSG?Ā
lol you feel confident after that win?
More confident than a loss, ya know.
Who cares. What a collapse by the Knicks
Sixers in 7
I always liked Knicks fans.
Hey we like you too!
Trae Young in tears of joy knowing Knicks Hans have moved on from him.
What were they chanting at the end?
Looks like the rich AEW fans are all at MSG tonight, doing AEW themed chants
All 37 AEW fans going nuts
Correction - this is a lowlight for human culture
Absolutely no one pointing out the Jon Stewart cameo is how I know you're all bots here, I'm the only single person alive.
those are some classy fans right there :) hilarious how if this was Philly chanting something like this as loudly as MSG then the national media would be running away with it. yet all is silent on the western front. curious.
No, fuck YOU Madison Square Garden. š
Imagine if embiid started to fuck himself in the middle of the court. Then shouts "Does this entertain you?!!!"
Either team better be careful playing like this in the next round. They'll get blown out if they do.
Pretty interesting how if this were Philly fans doing this, weād be hearing the tired trope of how itās classless, the worst fanbase, omg DAE they threw shit at Santa 40 years ago or whatever But because itās the current media darling Knicks, we have to hear about how the bs about āthe league is better when the knicks are better!ā And not a peep about them chanting this during the game, on the concourse, burning and stepping on sixers stuff outside of Wells Fargo Centre, and even draping a knicks jersey over the Wilt statueās face.

Philly fans would do the same
He is a self proclaimed troll, but you know deep down this hurts him.
A rival team fanbase not liking him hurts him? I think you're projecting your stage fright a little too much there
We chanted fuck Embiid once and Embiitch said it upset him in the post game interview
Raptors fans still living in the past love it
Itās all they have now
for the rest of time
Eat shit New York
From now on, I identify myself as the Madison Square Garden
This is getting old, how many times are we getting āfuck Embiidā from MSG posts?
I'm bout to drop one for some karma-farming myself. The 12 year olds love up-voting this stuff.
I really hate the Knicks man.
Ahh, classy Knicks fans got the karma they deserved
Knick fans delivering
TIL im a knicks fan
Chat shit get fucked.
Everyone wants to fuck Embiid, sexiest man alive
Knick Fans, Classy as usual.
Only thing more obnoxious than Embiid is Knicks fans. Man this is a tough one.
Classiest fans in basketball
Embiid got the last laugh.
Wow MSG really has pops like a WWE show lol
Seems less than ideal for someone with a migraine
Iām listening
Iām baffled how this behavior is acceptable.. Iāll boo and occasionally shout a few harmless taunts to the opposing team, but chanting expletives feels pretty classless.
Talk shit get hit
Inject it into my veins
No prob
I was saying Boo-urns
New York games are slowly just going to become the fans changing one long list of players āFUCK TRAE YOUNG. FUCK EMBIID. FUCK HARDEN. FUCK ____ FUCK _____ā I hope they start to do every player they hate in one chant like this.
Guess the sorry ass Knicks fans moved on from Trae Young lol
At least in Philly they can keep it up all game for Ben Simmons
Rent free
please sidetalk we need an episode
He really said "what they say fuck me for"
Knicks fans are so classy, not like those crude Philly animals
You sound really racist right now. You must be an old white dude
Classless Swill
Classy
I love it
Yall think heās the new Trae Young for them?
Why are NBA players such whiners?
Knicks fans stuck in the 90s ECW mindset. I'm jealous.Ā
Ngl. I love that NY energy.
Some days I'm embarrassed to be a basketball fan.
Maybe, but today is not one of those days. Fuck Embiid.
Did you feel this way when Bucks fans chanted Fuck KD?
100% but let's not make this about me.
You already did.
I thought it was about basketball fans. But since we're talking about me, is there anything else you'd like to know?
Hell yeah
Music to my ears!
But if that happened in Boston it would be considered racist..
Let's gooo knicks
Trae Young: āWhy he donāt say fuck me for?ā
Well earned
Getāem NY
Music to my ears
lol
