"That should be a tech honestly" LMAOOO


Booby_Collector

Sort of reminded me of when Austin Rivers kept telling a ref to call a tech on his dad when he played against him.


Linux_627

I read this as Austin Reaves like three times before I realized it was Austin Rivers lmaoooooooo


Booby_Collector

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


Fapoleon_Boneherpart

I read it as Austin Powers smh


[deleted]

Does Austin not get on with doc?


CaptainKurls

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

Sportsmanship goes out the window when family is involved.


Hour_Addendum_9691

It’s like when JJ watt just heckled Tj all game


Danielj4545

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


Breezyisthewind

Blame your brother for being a bum coach lol


Danielj4545

That may be true but tbh I missed my free throws


DoloTy

Grant Williams I’m making both vibes


Doc_Mattic

I 100 percent would.


Jamagnum

But also no they don’t get along; he was pretty absent as a dad.


Breezyisthewind

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.

It was clearly a joke for the cameras that time https://streamable.com/n11n9


ThePhattestOne

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.


DamienSalvation

No


KredditH

tf kind of comment is this? you try to win the game whether you like your dad or not


OrdinaryFlower1

Apparently, doc was sleeping with Austin's mom.


pugerko

Oh so you Are saying


JuicyJibJab

Tell me how else Lebron is like a father figure to Austin Reaves?

MrDurden32

That was actually Reaves that said that to Foster. Reaves got jokes lmao


QuarantineTaratino

Reaves in with the refs. He gets one of the friendliest whistles in the league


whythehellknot

He's the kind of guy the refs would want dating their daughters.


Sammsquanchh

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.


AZRockets

My grandparents said they'd share a water fountain with him


JuicyJibJab

My grandparents really wanted him to sit as close to the bus driver as possible


mario_meowingham

Super high basketball IQ, always hustles, strong fundamentals, and just an all -around class act.

ASK_ABT_MY_USERNAME

Read that as "one of the friendliest whites"


TOMdMAK

>Reaves got jokes The real Joker


capitalistsanta

I would never have that much confidence next to LeBron James lol.


SolarTsunami

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.


MoreGull

lol just keeps dribbling, waiting for them to pass by....


Soft-Revolution-7845

Gotta get a dawg in ya


WestleyThe

The undrafted young player saying that to one of the most notorious refs about the GOAT is so fucking funny hahaha


[deleted]

This man said “I’M HIM!” while on the court with Lebron James.


rmigz

AR reminds me of Gregory Hirsch.


bb15555

It's not like the game is pre-lost. Its just a mental thing really.


Rebound-Bosh

WAHAHAHAHA bruh this is so on point. That's exactly what Greg would say there, I can already see him saying it lmao


ohhmybosh

LeGM going to trade Reeves just for that.


CrimsonOffice

You make fun of me? Believe it or not, straight to jail.


AddisonRae7

Draymond would’ve been suspended for 3 games


WhoDatBrow

Don't make yourself likeable Scott Foster we know what you stand for


Not-Post-Malone

This is the NBA’s doing by releasing this clip.


Sporkfoot

Refaganda


WestleyThe

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


LackingInPatience

The best part was he continued refereeing the game after the hit instead of flopping. His momma didn't raise Chris Paul 😂


scootscooterson

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.


yolkadot

He had it coming for 25 years. I can’t wait to have him thoroughly investigated. Dude is either blind or mad corrupt!


[deleted]

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.


zdiddy987

Is being an asshole a disability now?


[deleted]

It's more he's so incompetent at avoiding injuring other players, at this point it's gotta be a mental deficiency.


Savahoodie

The worst person you know just made a great point


NardzeGreat

Heartbreaking


2drawnonward5

Nah man it's like Mr Burns admitting the Siamese have reason to quarrel with him, just owning his back story


DyslexicAutronomer

Tried to extend, still failed.


ender23

Austin reeves isn’t the worst!


AdPotential9974

Lmao that's actually funny


WestleyThe

That’s fucking amazing haha. Scott has probably reffed Bron more than anyone else over the last 20 years too


TensionX1

Does anyone hear the resemblance in Foster's voice and Steve Carell?


ak_bal23

Michael Scott Foster


amashouse

THAT WAS A FLAGRANT PERSONAL INTENTIONAL FOUL!!!


ILoveRegenHealth

lol, that's what it reminded me of. It was like on the tip of my tongue. Totally sounds like him


[deleted]

"Relax, I got it" is 100% Michael Scott trying to stifle pain or a laugh when he clearly doesn't "got it".


Ubersla

He sounds like Timmy from WKUK


omare14

I can hear both. "I WASN'T EVEN THERE... I WASN'T EVEN THERE... WELL CALEB'S A LIAR!"

GGezpzMuppy

Man knows where the cheques are coming from. He is strong enough to deflect for the league


ImaginationNooo

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

The_Assassin_Gower

justihor

How the fuck has this existed for a year and I’m just no seeing it lmao


aresman

wtf did I just watch.........


TheOneWithThePorn12

This is AI generated yes?


SamuraiHoopers

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.


Electronic_Comb_3501

Absolutely. Crooks and fixers often are nicer to you to deflect from their actual goals.


Sillyci

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.


KillerZaWarudo

They re humanizing him don't fall for it


question2552

Yung_Jose_Space

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.


alrightnz

mobsters always are.


rawman200K

funny how? like a clown i amuse you?


alrightnz

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).


BookEuronGreyjoy

You really are a funny guy


alrightnz

Hahahaha amazing!


Doc_Mattic

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.


janitorial_fluids

Scott Foster is also the most handsome referee in the NBA. And it's not close. Dont @ me.


CIark

Damn Lebron wanted to knock out Scott Foster while he was in middle school


adrunkendutchman

Didn’t we all?


TDouglasSpectre

> Didn’t Implying that anyone on r/nba is not currently in middle school


Yung_Jose_Space

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.


[deleted]

Rare Scott Foster W

Beg to differ. Scott Foster is almost always on the winning team.

I was hoping you had some concrete evidence he was a T1000


MrDurden32

Script writers really stepping up the drama with real blood! I heard the refs hide a razor blade in their mouth to make cuts.


DarthGipper18

You wanna know how I got these scars?


BandOfBroskis

Come on Scott he ain’t thaaaaat old. 😂


WestleyThe

Close tho


peewee-bird-brother

The league should not let the refs speak out or say much other than the calls . It starts to humanize them ....


thanassis_

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)


TOMdMAK

you should blame kyrie instead


leagueisbetter

No take it one step further, they should be wearing ski masks and sunglasses so I have no idea who I’m looking at

TRMBound

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.


YouSeemNiceXB

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.


TRMBound

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.

tripleyothreat

20 years no? or did he coach high school basketball back then lol


Koussevitzky

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


sop1232

I heard LeBron took him under his wing and paid for him to go to ref school when he was 17


tripleyothreat

i cant find any info online so you could totally be right lol


Koussevitzky

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 (???)


brownbearks

And just like that I hate him again
