Never forget when Drummond got ejected for Wemby flopping

[PokeNation @Big12Pokes]

The Spurs now have the largest free throw differential in NBA playoff history. The media has created basketball hell. Good job NBA Twitter.

This is the least embarrassing way a defending champion has gone out this decade

There are really people out there that hate on this… (via @NBA)

[Zack @okcclips]

Reggie Miller is everything wrong with having player commentators

[Legion Hoops @LegionHoops]

Draymond Green:

“Shai, you've reached a new level of greatness my man... you got sports media coming out and talking about what they don't like about your greatness, as if SGA is running up and down the court with the whistle in his mouth calling a foul for himself... you all think the NBA is that easy to where this guy just flops and goes to the free throw line and he becomes the back to back MVP? We really gonna dumb the NBA down to that?”

We've reached a point where the lore of Wade and Kobe along with others has completely overtaken the reality of what happened in their careers.

Didn’t hide after a loss and don’t complain about being literally tackled all series long, love him

Victor Wembanyama to Mason Plumlee in Game 5:

“Hard fouls.”

(via @ShowCaseShabazz, h/t @Fullcourtpass)

[Skip Bayless @RealSkipBayless]

These Spurs are a bunch of home front-running cheap-shotting fake tough guys led by Wembanyama who sent his goons after the Thunder when he got HIS ass kicked in OKC.

[Fan @undercoverNBA]

In the last 3 weeks Wemby has:

- Intentionally elbowed Naz Reid in the neck
- Called for bench players to try to hurt Thunder players with hard fouls after losing
- Skipped mandatory postgame media
- Yanked Lu Dort’s hair (the exact play Spurs fans wanted IHart arrested for)

All with no additional punishment from the NBA, Wemby being donned as the face of “ethical basketball,” and the narrative from the series being the Thunder whistle and Shai falling in a series they’re shooting less FT with both sides playing physically.

We’re witnessing the biggest mass gaslighting event the sport has ever seen.

[KlawWrld @kawhi_ring]

If you asked the average TikTok or Instagram NBA fan if they’d like to see free throws removed from the game, they’d say yes. Most of the people would say they prefer the Spurs.

The Spurs would’ve lost the series already if free throws weren’t a thing

[Zack @okcclips]

All in the first half btw

[Brandon Rahbar @BrandonRahbar]

OKC bouncing back from a blowout to beat the Spurs in a pivotal Game 5 without JDub and Ajay Mitchell should be the #1 talking point the last 2 days.

Instead, that headline was buried under these stories:

Wemby skipping media.
Plumlee elbowing McCain.
A (correct) non-challenge.
Wemby bad game.
A gambling company negatively using a player’s image without permission.
Free throws and flopping, of course.

And that is sports discourse summed up in 2026.

[NBA @NBA]

Team chemistry over everything.

From the signature postgame interview huddles to celebrating each other’s success, the Thunder embody a family atmosphere on and off the court 🐶🤝

This is 80% of anti OKC discourse btw
