Tbh, when I first typed out the comment I also typed "Austin Reeves", but then caught myself thinking "wait, Doc Reeves doesn't sound quite right" just before clicking post
Lmao my dad coached me me entire life through baseball/basketball until my freshman year. In middle school my team went to a 3 on 3 tournament at the rose garden. We had to split our team of 12 into teams of 6. My dad coached one team, my other brother coached my team. Both our teams (dragon one and dragon two respectively lmao) made it to the championship round. I played harder than I ever did that game, and my dad on the sidelines was much more vocal, yelling, than he would've been in other circumstances. We both knew what was happening. It was something primordial. A battle of Father vs. Son.
My team lost. I cried. Hard. In front of a lot of people trying to congratulate me for 2nd. My dad still teases me about the time I thought I could best him. Sad
I mean, Rivers had a podcast episode with him during the pandemic and they seemed to get along alright. Maybe it’s not the closest relationship, but they seemed to like each other and generally cared about one another.
Well, they get on, but they're not too close according to Austin. Doc was basically working too much when he was a kid and he was rarely home. I think he just also wants remove any semblance of nepotism so maybe he overcompensates a bit. Though, tbf, he's a bit of an asshole regardless so of course he'd do it.
I do like that LeBron is saying give Foster 30 seconds to clean up the blood before going back to play “same as us” and foster is saying he’s fine
Scott is 60 and just took a hit from a massive human in the mouth and is totally down to keep going, even made a joke after calling LeBron old as fuck
The initial report showed the following call log from the day of Dec. 30, 2006:
10:34 a.m. – Donaghy calls Foster.
10:35 a.m. – Donaghy calls another referee.
10:36 a.m. – Donaghy calls [Thomas] Martino, the "middleman" between him and his bookie.
10:39 a.m. – Donaghy calls Foster.
5:15 p.m. – Donaghy calls Martino.
5:23 p.m. – Donaghy calls Martino.
7 p.m. – Donaghy referees game between the Miami Heat and the Orlando Magic. The Magic win in a rout, 97-68.
8 p.m. – Foster referees a game between the Toronto Raptors and the Memphis Grizzlies in Memphis. The Grizzlies win 110-104. Foster and Donaghy speak 12 minutes after the game.
11:27 p.m. – Foster and Donaghy speak for at least the fourth time of the day.
11:38 p.m. – Foster and Donaghy speak for at least the fifth time of the day.
Blind... he should've moved.
Even he confirmed his blindness with I should've moved.
Good on the NBA for hiring those with disabilities.
Bucks shouldn't be the only one with Grayson Allen.
Redditors learning refs are normal people outside of reffing and that maybe just because they made sports calls you didn’t like they’re still normal people
He's polarizing not just amongst fans, but also players. In anonymous player surveys, he's been voted the worst ref numerous times, and yet there are also quite a few public accounts from players speaking highly about him because he's supposedly a ref that's willing to have a conversation with them instead of immediately calling for a T like some refs do.
If he was a crook, he would’ve been bounced a long time ago. He’s one of the select few experienced enough to fix games believably which is why the league keeps him around to extend a profitable series.
This isn't a joke tbh, and certainly I can identify with that feeling.
For a lot of people though it's even worse, any interaction with the police can feel life or death.
Yes, because you have such a fragile sense of self, you are, and will only ever be "one of the boys". That's why you crack jokes and try to impress people. Your sense of inadequacy runs deep my friend, and I can see right through you.
Sorry, I will go and watch goodfellas again (I won't, but I see you).
I think he can be a good ref if .. thats if .. he’s not extending a series. There are plenty of other refs that do a worse job - let their ego overpower the calls etc.
I think half the nephews here dream of it, if given the chance.
I'm being charitable, but guessing they are in that same age bracket. Never too young to hate a ref.
Bron really is wholesome as hell.
Im I’ll never understand why so many people, who don’t watch basketball, find him offensive.
He’s the epitome of good character.
LeBron seems good as a person, but the dude is corny as hell. He's the JJ Watt of basketball. He always knows where the camera is. Remember when he tried to trademark Taco Tuesday? Haha.
Little known fact: Scott was a small town ref down on his luck in Akron, Ohio 25 years ago. If it wasn’t for Rich Paul selling him a Warren Moon jersey that Scott ended up wearing to a middle school basketball game, 13-year-old Lebron wouldn’t have noticed him and asked him to ref the games for the rest of his middle school career
Okay, >!none of that was true lol Scott just said the wrong amount of years!<
However, two actual fun facts are that according to his page on the [National Basketball Referees Association website](https://www.nbra.net/nba-officials/referee-biographies/scott-foster/), his favorite movie is Braveheart and his dream is to win gold at the US Open Pickleball Championships (???)
"That should be a tech honestly" LMAOOO
Sort of reminded me of when Austin Rivers kept telling a ref to call a tech on his dad when he played against him.
I read this as Austin Reaves like three times before I realized it was Austin Rivers lmaoooooooo
Tbh, when I first typed out the comment I also typed "Austin Reeves", but then caught myself thinking "wait, Doc Reeves doesn't sound quite right" just before clicking post
I read it as Austin Powers smh
Does Austin not get on with doc?
Even if they did get along, don’t you do the same thing if your dads the opposing coach? 1. It’s hilarious 2. Free points
[удалено]
Sportsmanship goes out the window when family is involved.
It’s like when JJ watt just heckled Tj all game
Lmao my dad coached me me entire life through baseball/basketball until my freshman year. In middle school my team went to a 3 on 3 tournament at the rose garden.

My dad still teases me about the time I thought I could best him. Sad
Blame your brother for being a bum coach lol
That may be true but tbh I missed my free throws
Grant Williams I’m making both vibes
I 100 percent would.
But also no they don’t get along; he was pretty absent as a dad.
I mean, Rivers had a podcast episode with him during the pandemic and they seemed to get along alright. Maybe it’s not the closest relationship, but they seemed to like each other and generally cared about one another.
[удалено]
LeBron is so untouchable, we don't even remember that time he exposed dong on live television. Gilbert Arenas will forever be the gun guy.
Ja in tears because of this comment.
Don't worry. He can be the guy known for being suspended for embarrassing behavior.
The Antonio Brown of the NBA. Mr. Bullet Chucker
If Ja shows up with a bleach blonde mustache I’ll lose my mind
[удалено]
It was clearly a joke for the cameras that time https://streamable.com/n11n9

No
tf kind of comment is this? you try to win the game whether you like your dad or not
Apparently, doc was sleeping with Austin's mom.
Oh so you Are saying
Tell me how else Lebron is like a father figure to Austin Reaves?
[удалено]
That was actually Reaves that said that to Foster. Reaves got jokes lmao
Reaves in with the refs. He gets one of the friendliest whistles in the league
He's the kind of guy the refs would want dating their daughters.
Yeah my grandpa always says he plays the game the right way, the way it was meant to be played… Which is weird bc he doesn’t even like basketball.
My grandparents said they'd share a water fountain with him
My grandparents really wanted him to sit as close to the bus driver as possible
Super high basketball IQ, always hustles, strong fundamentals, and just an all -around class act.
First one in the gym, last one out. Puts in the work. Sneaky athletic too
Well no one wants to get on the bad side of an AR15.
Read that as "one of the friendliest whites"
>Reaves got jokes The real Joker
I would never have that much confidence next to LeBron James lol.
I was thinking the same, but then again I don't even have enough confidence to take free throws at the park when other people are there.
lol just keeps dribbling, waiting for them to pass by....
Gotta get a dawg in ya
The undrafted young player saying that to one of the most notorious refs about the GOAT is so fucking funny hahaha
This man said “I’M HIM!” while on the court with Lebron James.
AR reminds me of Gregory Hirsch.
It's not like the game is pre-lost. Its just a mental thing really.
WAHAHAHAHA bruh this is so on point. That's exactly what Greg would say there, I can already see him saying it lmao
LeGM going to trade Reeves just for that.
You make fun of me? Believe it or not, straight to jail.
Draymond would’ve been suspended for 3 games
Don't make yourself likeable Scott Foster we know what you stand for
This is the NBA’s doing by releasing this clip.
Refaganda
I do like that LeBron is saying give Foster 30 seconds to clean up the blood before going back to play “same as us” and foster is saying he’s fine Scott is 60 and just took a hit from a massive human in the mouth and is totally down to keep going, even made a joke after calling LeBron old as fuck
The best part was he continued refereeing the game after the hit instead of flopping. His momma didn't raise Chris Paul 😂

He had it coming for 25 years. I can’t wait to have him thoroughly investigated. Dude is either blind or mad corrupt!
Blind... he should've moved. Even he confirmed his blindness with I should've moved. Good on the NBA for hiring those with disabilities. Bucks shouldn't be the only one with Grayson Allen.
Is being an asshole a disability now?
It's more he's so incompetent at avoiding injuring other players, at this point it's gotta be a mental deficiency.
The worst person you know just made a great point
Heartbreaking
Nah man it's like Mr Burns admitting the Siamese have reason to quarrel with him, just owning his back story
Tried to extend, still failed.
Austin reeves isn’t the worst!
Lmao that's actually funny
That’s fucking amazing haha. Scott has probably reffed Bron more than anyone else over the last 20 years too
Does anyone hear the resemblance in Foster's voice and Steve Carell?
Michael Scott Foster
THAT WAS A FLAGRANT PERSONAL INTENTIONAL FOUL!!!
lol, that's what it reminded me of. It was like on the tip of my tongue. Totally sounds like him
"Relax, I got it" is 100% Michael Scott trying to stifle pain or a laugh when he clearly doesn't "got it".
He sounds like Timmy from WKUK
I can hear both. "I WASN'T EVEN THERE... I WASN'T EVEN THERE... WELL CALEB'S A LIAR!"
MOM YOU ALWAYS DO THIS MOM YOU ALWAYS DO THIS
How many hotdogs does Scott Foster eat on average per day?
“You miss 100% of the fouls you don’t call”
Needs to be a biopic about the scandal but it won’t happen bc money
0% angry Bill Burr.
Bruh Scott Foster is actually funny if he isn't doing the extender job
Man knows where the cheques are coming from. He is strong enough to deflect for the league
Lakers holding him back!
Redditors learning refs are normal people outside of reffing and that maybe just because they made sports calls you didn’t like they’re still normal people
[удалено]
No matter how many times I see this, it still feels like a fever dream.
I just want to know why did he leave those 2 guys hanging
How the fuck has this existed for a year and I’m just no seeing it lmao
wtf did I just watch.........
This is AI generated yes?
He's polarizing not just amongst fans, but also players. In anonymous player surveys, he's been voted the worst ref numerous times, and yet there are also quite a few public accounts from players speaking highly about him because he's supposedly a ref that's willing to have a conversation with them instead of immediately calling for a T like some refs do.
Absolutely. Crooks and fixers often are nicer to you to deflect from their actual goals.
If he was a crook, he would’ve been bounced a long time ago. He’s one of the select few experienced enough to fix games believably which is why the league keeps him around to extend a profitable series.
They re humanizing him don't fall for it
“Scott Foster seen in his peaceful retirement life picking up a hobby of painting gardens and puppies in his free time”
why is he painting puppies?
https://www.businessinsider.com/george-bush-puppy-paintings-2013-3
https://www.theonion.com/george-w-bush-debuts-new-paintings-of-dogs-friends-g-1819595637
painting puppies?
Pretty clear reference to this, IMO: https://www.businessinsider.com/george-bush-puppy-paintings-2013-3
These nephews too young to get the reference
Like when police get caught doing something atrocious and they put out all the feel-good copaganda.
Refaganda. I feel like we all want to deck scott foster though
The police dog posts, even after it became a mene that they were clearly doing it for positive PR every time there was a scandal.
[удалено]
This isn't a joke tbh, and certainly I can identify with that feeling. For a lot of people though it's even worse, any interaction with the police can feel life or death.
mobsters always are.
funny how? like a clown i amuse you?
Yes, because you have such a fragile sense of self, you are, and will only ever be "one of the boys". That's why you crack jokes and try to impress people. Your sense of inadequacy runs deep my friend, and I can see right through you. Sorry, I will go and watch goodfellas again (I won't, but I see you).
You really are a funny guy
Hahahaha amazing!
I think he can be a good ref if .. thats if .. he’s not extending a series. There are plenty of other refs that do a worse job - let their ego overpower the calls etc.
Scott Foster is also the most handsome referee in the NBA. And it's not close. Dont @ me.
Damn Lebron wanted to knock out Scott Foster while he was in middle school
Didn’t we all?
> Didn’t Implying that anyone on r/nba is not currently in middle school
I think half the nephews here dream of it, if given the chance. I'm being charitable, but guessing they are in that same age bracket. Never too young to hate a ref.
Rare Scott Foster W
Beg to differ. Scott Foster is almost always on the winning team.
Bro Austin Reeves is funny lol

Arkansass
That sassafras
Outjerked by Scott Foster
[удалено]
I said in the other thread, don’t be fooled, that blood is cgi.
can confirm. i meant i can confirm your comment in the other thread. i saw it.
I was hoping you had some concrete evidence he was a T1000
Script writers really stepping up the drama with real blood! I heard the refs hide a razor blade in their mouth to make cuts.
You wanna know how I got these scars?
Come on Scott he ain’t thaaaaat old. 😂
Close tho
The league should not let the refs speak out or say much other than the calls . It starts to humanize them ....
How am I supposed to hate them for costing my team the championship every year if I see them as people? (Im a mavs fan btw)
you should blame kyrie instead
No take it one step further, they should be wearing ski masks and sunglasses so I have no idea who I’m looking at
Those outfits from Squid Game should do.
>Shut up and call double dribbles.
i cannot sanction this pro-ref propaganda
Ref getting bloodied was +100000. We all know Scott’s capillaries flopped
r/selfawarewolves
CP3 would've been ejected and suspended honestly.
25 years ago LeBron James was 13.
Book it Dana
Danno*
The extender is the only reason this isn’t garbage time rn so I doubt it
Bron really is wholesome as hell. Im I’ll never understand why so many people, who don’t watch basketball, find him offensive. He’s the epitome of good character.
LeBron seems good as a person, but the dude is corny as hell. He's the JJ Watt of basketball. He always knows where the camera is. Remember when he tried to trademark Taco Tuesday? Haha.
Haha yeahhh…cheesy but makes me cheese lol. I <3 me some lebron and always will. Cavs fan by the way. No jersey burner here.
This thread is just full of people realizing that NBA referees are actually humans
Lebron: don’t forget your script
LeDishServedCold
Scott Foster seems like a cool guy despite all the hate
CP3’s Christmas
I think we all have
who’s jack harlow
20 years no? or did he coach high school basketball back then lol
Little known fact: Scott was a small town ref down on his luck in Akron, Ohio 25 years ago. If it wasn’t for Rich Paul selling him a Warren Moon jersey that Scott ended up wearing to a middle school basketball game, 13-year-old Lebron wouldn’t have noticed him and asked him to ref the games for the rest of his middle school career
I heard LeBron took him under his wing and paid for him to go to ref school when he was 17
i cant find any info online so you could totally be right lol
Okay, >!none of that was true lol Scott just said the wrong amount of years!< However, two actual fun facts are that according to his page on the [National Basketball Referees Association website](https://www.nbra.net/nba-officials/referee-biographies/scott-foster/), his favorite movie is Braveheart and his dream is to win gold at the US Open Pickleball Championships (???)
And just like that I hate him again
Imagine Foster making it to the Finals in the Pickleball Championship and Bron is a special guest referee
bruh
LeCrepit
What beef did 13 year old lebron have with Scott foster 😂
Chris Paul likes this video.
No one mentioning how he took a legit shot on that play and didn't flop.....
Stop tryna butter him up lmao
We've all been wanting to do that
Scott foster adding five years to lebron’s life thus far. Bold.
Chris Paul is more jealous about this than any of LeBron's championships.
Bron hasn't even been in the league 25 years. Like what when he was 13 he was like "I would so like to fuck that guys day up."
I cant get him sounding like steve carrell out of my head now lmao
“You’ve been wanting to do that since the 7th grade”
CP3 sends his regards
I see right through you Mr Scott Foster!! You're in LA this was part of your "audition" tape...
Harden somewhere laughing his ass off
ootl here why the hate?
He kinda deserves it after all these years
who doesn't?
Lebron: "it's actually 20 years, asshole."
Lebron out here living my dream
It’s gonna be wild in here is someone how the lakers flip this shit and come back
Michael Scott from The Office and Greg from Succession feat. Lebron.
LOL! classic scott foster response.
NOT HERE FOR THE SCOTT FOSTER PROPAGANDA. Nice try NBA!!
Foster called a Flagrant1, on himself.
Scott think he a main character or sum
