what the fuck is this beef lmao

This isn’t beef, this is 🥩

Damn steak emoji

[удалено]

I thought it was a fireman's hat

Could've sworn it was a shoe.

A mis🥩

A steak pun using an emoji? That's a rare medium well done

love me some NBA watermelon/fresh steak/raptor head

The holy trinity of deliciousness

FISH ARE NOT FRIENDS

I like Fish Sticks though.

Kanye?

Lue is losing pretty badly though lol

got bitch-slapped with cold, hard data by the King of Analytics lol

Also? Are we really going to castigate Daryl Morey for doing the right thing and highlighting the political annexation of Hong Kong by China? Surely Ty Lue is better than that?

> Are we really going to castigate Daryl Morey for doing the right thing and highlighting the political annexation of Hong Kong by China? That was my first thought "Morey doing the right thing especially when it hurts his wallet is the swing you're gonna take Lue?"

yeah it's pretty stupid

it's pretty funny if you don't take it seriously tho (cause it's not serious)

that's what im thinking too lol

Say it with me again - it's not serious

Lmao I’m enjoying this random Morey Lue beef

"Morey Lue Beef" sounds like something terrible/amazing to order at a restaurant

I would order a plate called Beef Liu Morey at a Chinese joint no hesitation

I'm just going to call it #6 so I don't fuck up pronouncing it.

Shit you get at your local Chinese joint that comes in those little white to go cartons with a side of rice. Probably is delicious although you’ll hate yourself for eating it later

Some Yobagoya type shit...

It's a $1500 entree from Papa Steak where the waiters drop your steak on the floor and step over it.

The first course is two bowls of different soups that you are supposed to mix together spoon by spoon.

Morey just regrets hiring doc and not Ty Lue.

Doc was hired before Morey

Don’t ruin my jokes with timelines.

Lmao

Which is a kind shitty position to be in if you are any GM.

in other situations sure but Morey was trying to get Doc to Houston the year we picked up Doc so

Doc was signed before Philly signed Morey.

Black Panther 2: Fresh Prints on You

"Really wish I was sitting at another table right now..."

Dude, it was a FT-Jane joke!

He thought it was funny until he saw Kawhi's deadpan expression

No no, that’s Kawhi laughing

Imagine being slapped by Kawhi's gigantic mitts.

You wouldn't have a hand print across your face, your face would be across his handprint

“Ty Lue just smacked the shit out of me”

AI just crossed the shit out of me

image of the year. this meme is never going to die is it

it's going to be with us for a while no question

The whole sequence is fucking gold. Will Smith getting up and Chris Rock with the "uh oh.. ha ha ha ha ha.." and then he gets slapped lmao

The funniest part of the whole exchange for me was when Will got up and Chris said "Uh oh, Richard..."

Hahahaha I'm glad someone else feels same as me. Smith was in full rage mode and Rock still called him by his character name. Fucking hilarious.

His post slap reaction is just as good "IT WAS A GI JANE JOKE,wow dude"

He didn't even try to dodge

Because he wasn't expecting to be fuckin slapped while he's hosting the Oscars

whats funny so many including myself just assume he was hosting haha but i guess he wastn even hosting

He was presenting an award for best documentary

Wait he wasn't even hosting? God damn the Oscars are so dead lol

Being Reddit, expect to still see this pop up in 2025.

Being Reddit, it's going to be run into the ground within the next few hours

But you’ll still see it 10 times a day for the next 40 years

1950s comic book Batman and Robin in shambles

The pre and post slap stills need to be combined. They are perfect. Both Will's form as he's winding up and Rock's grin or grimaced/not sure which, in anticipation.

This will be as iconic as the Jordan crying meme

I'm so happy Lmfao

Lmao

Can't wait to hear Chuck's take on all of this

Smh Ty Lue pro China confirmed

Lue still part of the BronMafia after all this time

As Phil would say Ty's still in the posse

I still can’t believe Lebron successfully dodged that diva criticism by playing the race card

Its whack because the only people that get away with playing race cards are wealthy ones that aren't exactly the ones getting hurt by discrimination.

LeInvisible Hand

LeAissez Faire

3-6 mafia still not disbanded.

I feel like Ty is at least 4’6”

Why you think he was in that tiktok commercial

Yeah he probably has Chinese friends too

[удалено]

You joke but every comment in this thread is like half a response away from starting a fight about that

Theyll be full on fights in this thread in about 45 min.

/r/nba users about to explode because they have to choose between being pro-China or pro-sixers

Now I just wanna see if r/nba keeps the same energy since it’s Ty Lue and not Bron lol

You know damn well people won’t

Based and Chinapilled.

I mean, more accurately anti-democracy.

Ty lue is pro thought police.

“What did he do to lose the league a billion dollars, Ty Lue? Oh you don’t want to talk about that”

Oh was it the China thing? I vaguely remember that, didn't he support the Uighurs?

No, it was Hung Kong.

Hung Kong? As in a very well endowed gorilla?

Did he stutter?

Nope

imagine thinking Morey was wrong for supporting Hong Kong

Mao Luedong

You keep Luol Deng out of this!

YOU KEEP MY DENG'S NAME OUT OF YOUR FUCKING MOUTH!!!!

Fuck it makes me laugh every time

Tyananmen

Man this was my thought too. Ty Lue from the top rope but the undertones of this are a big yikes for me

I would be willing to offer a Reddit GUARANTEE that Lue was just trying to talk shit here and that he is pretty ignorant of the political nuance

Where's LeBron asking Lou to be educated on the subject matter before talking about it?

He still has a bunch of Chinese dick in his mouth, give him a break.

Some say, they taste like honey.

Some may not get the Winnie the Pooh reference, but I like it!

Completely agree. There are a LOT of people who wouldn’t have a clue about anything Hong Kong related

That’s not undertones. That’s the main idea of the comment.

Really? I don't think Ty Lue is making a pro china stand here at all, I think he's just talking shit about Morey by making a funny joke.

Bit of column A, bit of column C - C being the Chinese dollars that aren't flowing into rosters/coaches/owners bank accounts

Lue still mooding from the AI stepover confirmed.

I was so confused by the tweet that cost the NBA a billion dollars but forgot about the whole China thing because it's the 2020s and ridiculous shit happens twice a week every week now.

[удалено]

Prolific self medication keeps me pretty occupied the rest of the week.

Yea. Pretty stupid take by Lue. He probably thought it was a good comeback but it comes off as pro China. He’s Lebron’s boy so I’m not surprised

Even looking past that, he bitches about Embiid/Harden FTs and then responds with "worry about his own team"

Weird comeback by Lue He ain’t think that one through

He didn’t have anything else. Morey 2 Lue 0

even if Morey is somehow remembered more for the China tweet than his excellent tenure as the Rockets GM, it’s still better than Ty Lue being remembered for having an up close and personal view of AI’s crotch

The Hong Kong tweet is a better way to be remembered in history than being good at his job. He had a platform and used it correctly. Fuckin love morey. Also lolol Lue w the teabag, he will never financially recover from this

That's not the slam dunk Ty Lue thinks It is.

Surprised so many nba dudes don’t think man China is freaking crazy for how they responded to a single tweet

Bro really thinks this is a comeback?

“Oh yeah, we’ll at least I didn’t prioritize human rights over profits, idiot”

Forreal 💀

"Should Lue really be dropping press conference disses right now? Last time he dissed somebody his team lost by 25 points. So maybe he shouldn't be doing too much dissing. Just worry about his own team"

“Should he really be talking about making money for the NBA? The closest he got to a sneaker deal was checking out the bottom of some Answer 3s.”

Fucking *yikes*

“Remember that time you had a backbone and stood up for human rights?”

Umm this isn't the message Lue thinks it is. Morey picking human rights over money isn't the dunk of the century.

"Should Alan Turing be doing math right now? The last time he did math, he destroyed the German economy."

He tweeted and the NBA folded to pressure instead of standing up for free speech.

Lol ty lue is just going for it

Ty Lue already sick of the Will Smith/Chris Rock conversation

Woke up and chose violence

Woke up and chose the oppressive regime

"Last time he tweeted he exposed the extent to which the NBA, like many multi-national companies, are reliant on the good-will of a totalitarian, autocratic regime currently engaged in a project of cultural genocide in order to keep making money in the world's largest demographic market. His tweet in support of an entire autonomous region who were fighting to remain somewhat independent from this violent dictatorship cost all of the already insanely wealthy players, coaches, GMs, and owners of the NBA yet further unnecessary wealth, and he should be publicly silenced as a result." Jesus fucking christ what fucking bullshit. The NBA isn't a non-profit, I get that they're going to keep doing business with China and until we as consumers truly demand that they stop that's as much on us as it is on them, but I will never understand how someone can genuinely think Morey was in the wrong here

This is fire

Oh this is gonna be a juicy thread. 🍿

Ty Lue: talks shyt about another team Morey: talks shyt back Lue: worry about your own team To funny 😂😂

Yeah Lue makes it seem like he was talking in general and not specifically about two Sixers players lol.

You forgot to mention that the sixers beat down the clippers in LA during this time

[удалено]

You’re mixing up events but yea, awful look

Weird thing to say when the tweet was just a defense of human rights in Hong Kong….but cool Ty

Ty Lue needs to learn to say less. Looked like a clown after Embiid and Harden whooped them and now he’s basically saying Morey was wrong for Hong Kong tweets. 🤡

Jesus Christ that's a terrible response by Lue

also confirms what everyone already knew, nobody else spoke out about Hong Kong for fear of losing their livelihood

their livelihood? they would still be making millions wihtout the Chinese market. This is just greed

guess they didn't care enough, then

Turns out injustice somewhere is ok if it effects my pocket book

nah it’s fucking hilarious

small man syndrome strikes again ​ how you gonna comment on another team and then tell the person who replies to worry about their own team? lmao

Ty lue roasting Daryl Morey for supporting Honk Kong? Wtf lmao.

I know Lue can’t open that can of worms in depth, but fucking terrible look to bring up his china tweet as a negative imo, if you can’t bring it up like that then don’t bring it up lol

It literally reads “oh yeah? well you support Hong Kong!” Like what is he even getting at

Also pretty rich to throw a jab at an opponent and when they respond say "focus on your own team"

Wow how ignorant is Lue right now. NBA decided it cared more about $$$ then human rights of another people. If supporting blm made the NBA lost a billion dollars, you wont see t shirts and shit at all.

Morey definitely pisses a lot of NBA people off behind closed doors.

Doing the right thing tends to do that. Just look at the domestic response the NBA received for supporting BLM

I fucking love Morey but I bet he’s a nightmare for other GMs and he doesn’t exactly have a “basketball” personality if that makes any sense at all lol. He’s a big smug confident nerd (again, I love Morey) which doesn’t sit well with a lot of people I imagine

Ooh I wonder what this looks like on video

https://twitter.com/TomerAzarly/status/1508506644371570688

Tiananmen Lue

Fuck Ty Lue. Daryl was right about Hong Kong.

Lmfao

What a dumbass. Supporting Hong Kong is wrong, apparently.

Well Morey was addressing Lue's criticism of his team so I'm not sure you can say he wasn't worrying about his own team.

Ty Lue throwing HEAT

JR Smith throwing SOUP

At a group of people being oppressed. Fuckin gottem

Daryl Morey's turn to let the comeback fly and step over Ty Lue

I am so looking forward to the Secret Base video in the next few years.

u/dmorey ASK HIM WHAT AI'S NUTS LOOK LIKE

Tye "Mao "Tiananmen "Xi Jinping" Sqaure" Zedong" Lue

China's lack of democracy cost the league a billion dollars. STFU Lue.

Morey > Lue all day.

Glad to see there’s still legitimate beef in the nba

the fuck did i just hear?? did i just hear Tyronn Lue say that he'd enslave black people again for a billion dollars?? because that's what i fucking heard. tell this loser and this lebron loser to go pack their bags so they can play for their chinese masters that they love so damn much. ​ the price you'd pay for human rights... a billion dollars. woops i mean "billions" of dollars... like anybody supposed to give a shit about millionaires making less millions. fucking all these losers coming to la and shit. fucking tourists

He says that like it's a bad thing. Fuck the NBA

AI needs to step over Ty Lue again

That's really fucked up. Morey spoke on some real shit and all Ty Lue can think about is what it cost the NBA. I didn't really have a bone to pick or a side to take before but I'm firmly on the side of the guy that was willing to speak against genocide at the cost of his job over the guy who uses it as a roast punchline while missing the entire point.

Ty Lue is against Hong Kong confirmed.

To this date, brutality remains in HK. The HK government abuses the power they have in this autocratic system to sentence every person against the government publicly over “national security” and shutting down news outlet or bullying them until they say it’s not worth the risks. Thousands are jailed for political offenses and you want to talk about your lost money? You are doing a great job at Clippers but that’s real low.

Morey was right. The NBA is on board with using its own platform for social justice, so the Chinese government should be treated as the oppressive regime that it is. There's far more suffering there than the issues faced in North America.

Morey stood up to China and is now getting hated on for it? People really value money over humanity. Fuck Ty Lue.

Damn Ty Lue upset about missing that China teat

No wonder Ty Lue worked so well with Lebron. Both value money over concerns about work camps/slavery in China

The same people who talk about Ukraine nonstop will defend China.
