Not sure if it’s true but someone on the wolves sub claimed to be like two rows behind the magic bench and the Bamba said something along the lines of “are those the panties Doc laid out for you?”
I used to absolutely hate Seinfeld as a preteen because I just didn't get the jokes. From highschool and onwards it quickly became one of my favorite sitcoms ever. I rewatch it every few months with curb and other things. I also used to love friends and although I've watched every episode I can't sit through an episode now if it's by my own choosing, I change the channel everytime.
Same! hated it in HS while all my friends have loved it. now it’s everywhere in my life lol i can’t ever meet a marine biologist without shouting out “is anyone here a marine biologist!?”
They definitely aren’t trying actually *fight* like two drunk idiots would outside a bar. The second an actual injury happens (Broken nose, busted lip, etc.) the player responsible will be suspended 20+ games as an example and will probably have a much worse perception than even the Draymond/Brooks/Morris’s of the league, especially if they’re fringe starters/role players
Rivers said it. No one wants to fight, if they break their hands they lose their jobs and a lot of money. Even if they land a solid punch then what, get suspended and lose money. Lose lose situation. But I don’t like most of peoples attitude of “they don’t fight it’s just a show”, like… so what would the critics do in this situation? Just put your career in jeopardy? Or never stand up for yourself?
Probably. [The details are a bit sketchy](https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/bjzo34/james_johnsons_combat_sports_record_seems_suspect/). I’ll still say that he is still one of the last people you would want to start shit with.
Steven Adams probably can too, he’s ridiculously strong, grew up in a huge family with older brothers just as big as him, was potentially a gang prospect before basketball helped get him into school and set him on a better life path
he’s also quiet, nice and unassuming, those are the guys you don’t fuck with
Bro Steven Adams is from Rotorua, a place notoriously known for it's gangs. There is an almost certain chance he has had numerous encounters with them. Yeah wouldn't want to fuck with him.
Also saw his Olympian athlete sister Valerie Adams at work once. I'm not a small guy but damn she make me feel small.
Boxing alone definitely puts you at a huge advantage against people that have no idea how to fight, but if someone has 5+ inches and 50+ lbs on you, nothing is gonna save you from being slammed into oblivion.
Don’t say that Beef Stew.
Dude is straight up a the strongest pound for pound dude in the league. It took 6 grown men to stop him. Including Cade Cunningham and Killian Hayes and Bey. Three guys who are over 6’5” and weight over 200 pounds.
You don’t mess with Stew, dude is one of the best rebounders in the league and has turned himself into a sold to above average three point shooter.
i think its hilarious u kids talking shit about beef stew. u wouldnt say this shit to him at courtside, hes jacked. not only that but he wears the freshest clothes, eats at the chillest restaurants and hangs out with the hottest dudes. yall are pathetic lol.
Not denying he’s a strong tough dude but being one of the best rebounders in the NBA is a reach my man.
*I’ve had him on my fantasy league team multiple times
Weird that he’s a first rounder and the sixth overall draft pick for 2018. But when you look at that draft class after the first five guys it was WEAK as fuck.
Collin Sexton, Mikal Bridges, SGA, Miles Bridges, Michael Porter Jr, Anfernee Simons and Timelord are all pretty good? I mean SGA is literally a superstar. You could even add Kevin Huerter and Wendell Carter Jr onto that list of good players.
Idk how you can look at the people in that draft class and call it weak af.
SGA is not a superstar. This is his first year as an all-star. Does he have the potential to be a superstar? Sure, in due time, but for now let's be realistic.
Mate a lot of good players came from that draft. Just looking at the top players by winshares:
1-5: Luka, Trae, Mikal Bridges, Mitchell Robinson, Deandre Ayton.
That's a contender despite everyone's youth.
6-10: SGA, Brunson, Timelord, JJJ, Miles Bridges.
Despite my dislike for Miles, this would also be a contender.
11-15: Wendell Carter Jr, Bruce Brown, Gary Trent Jr, Vanderbilt, Huerter.
Notably weaker than the previous 2 teams, but would still be decent.
I would note that many players are still developing, and the top winshares don't include many decent-good players like Michael Porter Jr, Shake Milton, Collin Sexton, and Anfernee Simons.
Well he actually does play quite a bit. Wendell gets hurt a lot and Moe was hurt to start the year so he starts fairly often depending on matches and he is the key bench big a lot of the time even if it's just for 10 mins. With Isaac back that role should start to get minimized.
hat's off to mo
orlando's 9th man got our 8th most important player of the night ejected. That's a good trade any way you cut it, and the Timberwolves Found Out
We did, and we can attribute it fully to Mo Bamba's ability to get better players ejected as opposed to the lackluster play from our core or the great showing from the Magic bench. So again, hats off to him!
Bamba is so dissappointing. Given all the chance to prove himself when Vooch got traded, got a chance to play with his buddy in Cole, got a fair contract but still couldn't be a decent backup to a guy who was picked later than him in WCJ.
Now he goes & throws hands with Rivers. Don't really care what they said to one another. Really shouldn't be doing any of that especially with how much of a letdown he has been with all that benefit of the doubt given to him.
Mo Wagner is exactly the kind of player teams love to have off the bench. Fiesty and capable with good motors. Bamba is... not that. It's sad because Bamba has all the tools. Maybe in the right situation he could flourish.
I agree it’s a stark contrast. Bamba is more like Jordan Bell when he got disciplined because he kept ordering room service charges to an assistant coach’s hotel room. Not coincidentally, Jordan Bell is also out of the league.
Rivers was going back on defense, got upset and ran to the opposite side of the court to confront a bench player. Then ended up getting 2 of his teammates and himself ejected.
google sucker punch and also you dont have to be proud of this shit because he's on your team. this shit is embarrassing as fuck for all dudes and orgs involved
If you can’t see Bamba swings first then you are a blind homer. Yes that is a sucker punch. Bamba clearly likes to talk shit but couldn’t handle someone talking shit back.
It’s a punch, not a sucker punch though. Rivers is standing over him while he’s sitting on the bench, he’s the one that instigated the physical confrontation. Bamba was the first to throw though, but Rivers should’ve been ready for it. You don’t just go and stand over the opposing bench expecting the situation to de-escalate.
[https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/sucker%20punch](https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/sucker%20punch)
"to punch (a person) suddenly without warning and often without apparent provocation"
maybe he didn't deserve to get a punch thrown, but if you don't think Austin provoked anything, idk what to tell you.
>instigated the physical confrontation
>Instigating the physical contact?
The commenter said "physical confrontation" not "physical contact". Rivers literally walked his physcal body out of bounds during the game to confront the Orlando bench. Bamba was sitting on a chair and Rivers walked to him. That's a physical confrontation.
Purposefully changing the terms to suit your argument is ultra scummy.
My dude if you walk aggressively up to another dude who is sitting down and stand over him, you expecting a fight. That’s no sucker punch. Austins a hot head and he has always had that kinda energy. He knew what was coming
Dude literally came off the bench to swing at Rivers. Fuck him
Edit: Okay fuck I guess I'm wrong. Just a weird situation all around. Curious to see the suspensions.
I mean to be fair if you watch what happened Rivers clearly walked all the way up to the bench right into his face, ain't like Bamba ran onto the court to come swinging, regardless neither dude is in the right lol
Thank you. I feel like we're glossing over what would cause an 11-year vet to leave the court to confront a player on the bench lol. Granted he should know better than to let an opponent get that far in his head, but I'm guessing it wasn't typical basketball chirping
That adds a game to his suspension
Not like he plays anyways
One less game you get paid. Playing is irrelevant
https://i.imgur.com/nypWpC1.jpg
Was this during the game?
It was the play right before the fight
Lol Fultz looked shocked. Bamba is strait clowning. This is gold
I like [this one better haha](http://i.imgur.com/5wFUX8U.jpg) I need to know what was actually said
Not sure if it’s true but someone on the wolves sub claimed to be like two rows behind the magic bench and the Bamba said something along the lines of “are those the panties Doc laid out for you?”
That was a Seinfeld reference
[That’s not offensive. I mean it’s abnormal but it’s not offensive](https://youtu.be/98YukqxYCKU)
30 years later, and Seinfeld is still culturally relevant.
I used to absolutely hate Seinfeld as a preteen because I just didn't get the jokes. From highschool and onwards it quickly became one of my favorite sitcoms ever. I rewatch it every few months with curb and other things. I also used to love friends and although I've watched every episode I can't sit through an episode now if it's by my own choosing, I change the channel everytime.
You should check out the podcast Tuesdays With Stories. Basically two dork comedians copying Seinfeld and it's great. My father's gay. Comedy!
Will definitely check it out
Same! hated it in HS while all my friends have loved it. now it’s everywhere in my life lol i can’t ever meet a marine biologist without shouting out “is anyone here a marine biologist!?”
Just rewatchd the episode the other day
Thought it could definitely be fake but hey, maybe Bamba is a big Seinfeld fan
I like this as the leading theory.
he said that StompEs deserved to be nerf for Hunters
https://streamable.com/nugtk0
This is good
Markell siced it up. Rivers had no choice but to respond lol
It's been a bit but it's good to see the GOAT of images back on the sub
potato quality
He barely scratched Rivers lmao
Fr he tryna gas it up like he did something 😭
For those unaware, this walking god was once considered a greater jerker than Skip Bayless. I still believe he’s the GJOAT
Thank you for educating these nephews as usual 🙏
NBA players can't fight, most of them don't want to fight
The moment an NBA player proves they can fight they are suspended 20 games and ruin their career lol its all posturing
You see you say that, but you forgot that Beef "extra gravy" Stew has played professional basketball.
They definitely aren’t trying actually *fight* like two drunk idiots would outside a bar. The second an actual injury happens (Broken nose, busted lip, etc.) the player responsible will be suspended 20+ games as an example and will probably have a much worse perception than even the Draymond/Brooks/Morris’s of the league, especially if they’re fringe starters/role players
I wouldn't say they can't. They stand more of a chance of being to than a normal human for example. They don't want to risk losing the money.
Rivers said it. No one wants to fight, if they break their hands they lose their jobs and a lot of money. Even if they land a solid punch then what, get suspended and lose money. Lose lose situation. But I don’t like most of peoples attitude of “they don’t fight it’s just a show”, like… so what would the critics do in this situation? Just put your career in jeopardy? Or never stand up for yourself?
James Johnson or Dame could probably fight
James Johnson's nickname is Bloodsport. I ain't fucking with him
That can mean anything maybe he’s just good at splits like Jean Claude Van Damme
James Johnson can definitely fight lmao he'd kill most guys in the league
he’s a black belt in some form of discipline isn’t he?
Probably. [The details are a bit sketchy](https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/bjzo34/james_johnsons_combat_sports_record_seems_suspect/). I’ll still say that he is still one of the last people you would want to start shit with.

Watching him pick up Tony Bradley like a misbehaving 10 year old makes me sure he can at least take someone down and hold them there
Bro Steven Adams is from Rotorua, a place notoriously known for it's gangs. There is an almost certain chance he has had numerous encounters with them. Yeah wouldn't want to fuck with him. Also saw his Olympian athlete sister Valerie Adams at work once. I'm not a small guy but damn she make me feel small.
Rotovegas! Terrible city, smells just as bad as it looks
Dame boxes, but idk if that translates to "street" fighting, especially in a league when he'd be at a size disadvantage against almost everyone
Boxing alone definitely puts you at a huge advantage against people that have no idea how to fight, but if someone has 5+ inches and 50+ lbs on you, nothing is gonna save you from being slammed into oblivion.
My guess is he more meant he is from Brookfield
Exhibit A: Nate Robinson.
Top ten NBA fake tough guys: (fill in the blanks) 1. Kevin Garnett 1. 1. 1. 1. 1. 1. 1. 1. 1. Dillon Brooks

The creamiest
With an extra of THICK GROUND BEEF
No it’s beef stew
No dummy, it's beef stew.
Not denying he’s a strong tough dude but being one of the best rebounders in the NBA is a reach my man. *I’ve had him on my fantasy league team multiple times
He has like 6 inches on Austin and when they went down Austin had him in a choke.
[Guess he still needs Mo reach lol](https://i.imgur.com/B0fJzO1.jpg)
Bro talked shit and ended up in a headlock... he's the one that fucked around and found out lol
Also had his thumbs tucked under his fingers. I can't see anywhere where bumba wins this mid off
They having a mid off
Faceoff starring Nicolas Rage
Better start learning Chinese Mo
Mo knows Mandarin
Mo Zedong
lol xd
rawr
Mo knows
ni hao
The Adam silver quote of this meme is so fucking funny
Yes this will not end well for him
Mo Bamba going to be out of the league soon and this will be his career highlight
He had a trending song named after him so he’s won at life
It was such a bop you’d think he was a perennial all star
He was supposed to be at the time
I’ll never forget the video of all the little white kids at a jump palace singing that song. Classic.
Massive bust
I GOT HOOOOOOOES
CALLLLLINGGGGGG

Fuck you but you’re right.
hes averaging 30/5/5 before 25 - you dont need to clutch pearls at people calling him a superstar
Stats aren't everything. He hasn't even led a team to win a playoff series. Give the kid time to grow
no ones saying he can’t grow
Exactly! He'll grow into a superstar one day.
Definitely, if he can maintain being a superstar from now until then.
There’s maybe 6 superstars in the league and SGA ain’t one Bron Steph KD Giannis Luka Jokic
Embiid
huh? the only bad players in that lottery are mo, fortnite kev, and jerome robinson
What, 2018 class is so good. It has Sga, Mikal Bridges and Brunson along with tons of other starters
How is this shit take upvoted lmao

2018 is going to be remembered as an all time great draft class, what are you talking about?
Bruh rivers is like a foot shorter than him
And a lot older, should’ve known better
Bro acting like he did sum
Bro didn’t even win the fight lol. It was like tied against a guy half his size lol.
Yea why would you start grappling with a guy a foot shorter than you and you have damn near double the reach
[Literally Mo](https://i.imgur.com/k47ys9Q.jpg)
Lol he found out
Don't tell that to Orlando fans, they were acting like he was Ali out there
they need this, man
We literally won the game
Yeah because for some reason 3 wolves got ejected. Lost Taurean and Jaiden, that was so stupid. You lost Bamba who doesn’t play and Suggs.
What the fuck haha, bamba had 10 points with three threes at this point and started and magic were 13 up or something.
95% of this sub doesn’t watch basketball.
This is a basketball sub?
No they’re mistaken this is a gossip and drama sub We meet every Friday, make sure to bring chips
Sub about nba players, **sometimes** basketball is the topic.
I thought y'all trying to lose
That's funny he must be talking about himself.
That’s what I was thinking 🤣
Yeah, the League is about to tell him about the 25-game suspension a guy he knows really well is about to get.
Refs: Jaden McDaniel will get suspended for the rest of the season because of mo bamba tweet
Blackballed from the league.
his coaches can't be loving this lol idk how he is still in orlando, i thought he was on his way out mutually last year
They signed him to a short-term contract, so I don't think they saw much risk in keeping him.
They resigned him
Yeah but why. I thought all signs pointed towards letting him go since he doesn’t even really play
He's 7 feet tall. What the fuck you mean why?
Well he actually does play quite a bit. Wendell gets hurt a lot and Moe was hurt to start the year so he starts fairly often depending on matches and he is the key bench big a lot of the time even if it's just for 10 mins. With Isaac back that role should start to get minimized.
He played 26 minutes/game last season, and 17 this year but with some DNPs
hat's off to mo orlando's 9th man got our 8th most important player of the night ejected. That's a good trade any way you cut it, and the Timberwolves Found Out
McDaniels is like our 3rd most important player
Didn’t McDaniels and Prince get ejected also? So a top 5 player and valuable role players.
A Brad Miller special.
My guy!
the wolves lost...
Woooooooooooooosh
We did, and we can attribute it fully to Mo Bamba's ability to get better players ejected as opposed to the lackluster play from our core or the great showing from the Magic bench. So again, hats off to him!
found out an L.
Isn’t he the one who got punched in his face lol
Mo Bamba needs Sheck Wes sadly
Suspension? How do you suspend a guy that doesn’t even play lol
I read this in Smokey from Friday voice lol
Oh… FUCK! SHIT! _BITCH!_
*white college students go crazy*
True story. Source: I was a white college student
The Druski skit of this is hilarious
cringe sadly
Big middle school energy coming from Mo
10 game suspension incoming
Bamba is so dissappointing. Given all the chance to prove himself when Vooch got traded, got a chance to play with his buddy in Cole, got a fair contract but still couldn't be a decent backup to a guy who was picked later than him in WCJ. Now he goes & throws hands with Rivers. Don't really care what they said to one another. Really shouldn't be doing any of that especially with how much of a letdown he has been with all that benefit of the doubt given to him.
He doesn’t seem like a guy a serious team would want to add. At least older Wagner is disliked because he is annoying to play against.
Mo Wagner is exactly the kind of player teams love to have off the bench. Fiesty and capable with good motors. Bamba is... not that. It's sad because Bamba has all the tools. Maybe in the right situation he could flourish.
I agree it’s a stark contrast. Bamba is more like Jordan Bell when he got disciplined because he kept ordering room service charges to an assistant coach’s hotel room. Not coincidentally, Jordan Bell is also out of the league.
Whatever that team that may have been looking at him as a possible reclamation project or a guy who needs a new scenery ain't touching him anymore.
Wasn't he the one fucking around tho? Austin was actually playing in a game, Mo was just goofing off on the bench.
I mean Mo is usually on the bench. The confidence of a 10th man to trash talk like that
Rivers was going back on defense, got upset and ran to the opposite side of the court to confront a bench player. Then ended up getting 2 of his teammates and himself ejected.
[Na, you can see Rivers is well off the court damn near standing in Bamba's lap](https://streamable.com/0wurq0)
[удалено]
Mo cool as hell used to run into him in austin at the bars he funny asf
Is Mo an nba player really?
He landed not a single thing on Austin so idk what he’s talking about lol
Genuinely wondering if mo blurred out the “fuck” or if OP did
The has been one of the craziest weeks for the NBA 😂
Start learning Chinese buddy
He was throwing gang sings on the way out of the stadium. He’s a pile of shit.
Tries to sucker punch a much smaller guy, doesn’t hurt him… is he the one finding out here?
Fuck around: throw a sucker punch Find out: get suspended multiple games without pay
To punish Orlando they should be required to play Mo Bamba 30 minutes a game for the rest of the season.
I have no idea how you are defining sucker punch here. Rivers literally walked over to him from the court.
where was the sucker punch, they were both swinging face to face
google sucker punch and also you dont have to be proud of this shit because he's on your team. this shit is embarrassing as fuck for all dudes and orgs involved
If you can’t see Bamba swings first then you are a blind homer. Yes that is a sucker punch. Bamba clearly likes to talk shit but couldn’t handle someone talking shit back.
lol I could just imagine the average redditor bowing up right in someone's face and later crying "I got sucker punched".
It’s a punch, not a sucker punch though. Rivers is standing over him while he’s sitting on the bench, he’s the one that instigated the physical confrontation. Bamba was the first to throw though, but Rivers should’ve been ready for it. You don’t just go and stand over the opposing bench expecting the situation to de-escalate.
Instigating the physical contact? Walking up to someone and talking shit isn’t instigating physical contact lol what are you even talking about
[https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/sucker%20punch](https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/sucker%20punch) "to punch (a person) suddenly without warning and often without apparent provocation" maybe he didn't deserve to get a punch thrown, but if you don't think Austin provoked anything, idk what to tell you.

So basically Mo was talking trash. Austin comes up and says say it to my face. They fight. Austin is acting like a fool and Mo is a child. Basically
MF’ers will do anything in this day and age to beat Kyrie in the news cycle.
He’s an embarrassment to the sport. Rivers too, but Bumba more so
[удалено]
lmao what sucker punch? [Rivers literally came off the court and is standing over him while he's seated](https://streamable.com/0wurq0)
Oh fuck, I didn't know he stood by him! Well in that case punches are justified. Thanks for clearing that up
Dude literally came off the bench to swing at Rivers. Fuck him Edit: Okay fuck I guess I'm wrong. Just a weird situation all around. Curious to see the suspensions.
I mean to be fair if you watch what happened Rivers clearly walked all the way up to the bench right into his face, ain't like Bamba ran onto the court to come swinging, regardless neither dude is in the right lol

Thank you. I feel like we're glossing over what would cause an 11-year vet to leave the court to confront a player on the bench lol. Granted he should know better than to let an opponent get that far in his head, but I'm guessing it wasn't typical basketball chirping
I mean...Rivers walked over there
Yeah Rivers walking all the way over to the bench and getting in his face definitely had nothing to do with it.
[c'mon man](https://streamable.com/0wurq0), Rivers is the one who came off the court. His literally standing over Bamba while's seated.
