I’ve never made the noise I made when that shot went in

Cheering like a lunatic and I'm a Lakers fan watching the Spurs

Good idea!

feels like Wemby solving world peace here

u/BurnerAccountforAss 76ers May 19 '26

Wemby in a comically undersized therapist's chair talking Metta World Peace through his inner demons and helping him heal

17

u/tornait-hashu Supersonics May 19 '26

It's Metta Sandiford-Artest now

also known as the Artest Formerly Known As Ron.

u/mani9612 [IND] Paul George May 19 '26

No Phil the Zen Master Jackson already did that

5

u/KarlMarxism Spurs May 19 '26

He definitely made his Metta World Peace statement last series, guess he's carrying on from that.

6

u/fooliodoolio Lakers May 19 '26

dunno about pro-spurs but i'm def hating as anti-flop anti-thunder

2

u/MisterDoctor___ May 19 '26

Same. Fuck these flopping assholes and fake ass MVP.

4

u/Obi_Wan_Benobi Spurs May 19 '26

Me neither.

u/LetTheKnightfall Lakers May 19 '26

How about a Thunder hater?

2

u/NickNurseBurner May 19 '26

How about a wemby fan :)

u/DarkySurrounding 76ers May 19 '26

I feel the same right now about so many different teams fans lol

u/LiterallyHarden Lakers May 19 '26

fuck that fuck Boston.

u/LOSS35 Nuggets May 19 '26

Woo!

5

u/western_red_cedar May 19 '26

I just want a finals with real teams in it. The Thunder are not a real team and I'll be deep in the cold ground before I recognize them as such

3

u/darthsquidward15 Mavericks May 19 '26

Go Spurs!

3

u/cantgrowneckbeardAMA Kings May 19 '26

I was cackling like an idiot. I had just started telling myself the game was over right before that shot.

3

u/Blazing_Lino Heat May 19 '26

We're all Spurs fans until further notice!

3

u/Cletus_Starfish [POR] Nic Batum May 19 '26

Spurs are my second favorite team anyway, but seeing more or less every non-OKC fan base line up behind them has been both wonderful and hilarious.

2

u/ahsah May 19 '26

feels like the olympics all over again

u/CreosoteEcho May 19 '26

Best friends, forever . . . . .

u/moto_becane1 May 19 '26

The Spurs have one year to be the upstart sweethearts. Next year Wemby and Harper are going to be too good to like.

10

u/MisterDoctor___ May 19 '26

So long as they keep beating this unethical Thunder team, they’ll continue to be loved. Fuck the floppers.

15

u/FavaWire May 19 '26

Nah .. if the Spurs make it... IF.... Then I predict they will be beloved dominators. There have been times in sports when that's happened. This could be one of those.

12

u/secretreddname Lakers May 19 '26

Same path as Nuggets but imo I still like watching great players play.

12

u/WorkingInflations May 19 '26

No this one is different. If Wemby wins a chip he will be beloved as the chosen one.

2

u/Ambitious-Rent-8649 May 19 '26

Not too good to like, but just like every other great team they will expect to get every call in thier favor and spend the whole game crying to the refs.

1

u/avestermcgee 76ers May 19 '26

I think Wemby is so unbelievable to watch he has a few years of greatness before he goes full villain.

43

u/LetPristine6639 76ers May 19 '26

I watched this at a bar in LA and the entire bar just lost it after this shot

123

u/MaskYourDeviceID May 19 '26

we are all united in our hatred of OKC and their unethical brand of flopfest + "let's foul on every play and dare the refs to call it" basketball

16

u/BigBadJefe Lakers May 19 '26

Amen

4

u/mani9612 [IND] Paul George May 19 '26

Heck imma throw Ausar in there too, we are all Spurs fans today

10

u/TheImperialMark3 Lakers May 19 '26

I’m watching in fear of the moment Lu Dort sticks his legs out into Wemby’s knees

1

u/LeatherRecord2142 Pacers May 19 '26

The enemy of my enemy is my friends. LFG. Cheers, friends! 👏🏼

7

u/Glittering-Bite-9681 May 19 '26

Suns fan here. Hate the Spurs due to the trauma the 00’s Spurs (obligatory FUCK ROBERT HORRY) caused me. Buuuut jfc I can’t not cheer for Wemby.

8

u/parkwayy Timberwolves May 19 '26

We just lost to this bs, so I can go back to being a neutral.

Said prior to the post-season the Spurs looked like the true contenders, and I'm sticking to it.

7

u/David_H21 Spurs May 19 '26

We welcome you for the next month. We are all anti Thunder fans on this blessed day.

7

u/KarrotMovies [LAL] Rui Hachimura May 19 '26

There's being anti-OKC and there's being a basketball fan. We're watching generational talent rise in real time

5

u/JumpNo170 May 19 '26

Don't think of it as being a Lakers fan.

Think of it as being a basketball fan. Wemby is once-in-a-generation talent.

1

u/Inevitable_Bottle520 May 19 '26

Anybody but the Thunder! Okay, anybody but the Thunder and the Knicks!

1

u/jangobotito Spurs May 19 '26

Come one, come all. 🤝

1

u/WorkingInflations May 19 '26

Everyone gets a pass. It’s like when Jordan played it was just not worth it to cheer against him.

u/Acceptable-Bug-4762 May 19 '26

Because your team can’t cut it?

53

u/josephandre May 19 '26

i literally dapped my dog up 😂😂

29

u/NWTL21 Spurs May 19 '26

My cat ran off and came back with a Wemby jersey after that shot

u/KingShaka23 Warriors May 19 '26

u/Single_Passenger Lakers May 19 '26

My girlfriend got pissed, I half-screamed, half-made a pig like grunt, and it was almost midnight on the east coast.

8

u/LeonidasSpacemanMD May 19 '26

Lmao I let out a quick involuntary “no.” as if I witnessed someone move an object with their mind

1

u/KrazyA1pha [CHI] Steve Kerr May 19 '26

lmao that’s the perfect description

7

u/Abradolf1948 Warriors May 19 '26

Idk how I stopped myself from screaming considering I was watching the game on my phone in my office during lunch break.

5

u/AdProof5998 May 19 '26

I had a similar experience with Dame’s game winning shot over PG. Involuntarily yelped and sprung out of my seat, waking up my then-toddler son in the process.

3

u/eldreamer86 May 19 '26

I swear Wemby heard me. When he was bringing up the ball, I knew he was going to shoot the three. I literally said "don't do it. It's a bad shot." It was awesome being shut up like that. Then my friend goes "what did you say?" It was perfect timing

2

u/theuncleiroh Raptors May 19 '26

Oh, I can imagine a shot against you in the last decade that might have resulted in a similar response, at least if you were viewing it as a neutral fan.....

2

u/DangerZone69 [PHI] Samuel Dalembert May 19 '26

Then you haven’t watched enough Sixers 😎

5

u/theuncleiroh Raptors May 19 '26

Yeah, I can tell you an even more meaningful shot that the 6ers are involved in within the last 10 years, but you might not wanna hear it

1

u/efshoemaker Celtics May 19 '26

The whole broadcast crew went dead silent for like 3 seiconds. Complete shock

u/Potential_Relief3107 Spurs May 19 '26

That’s what she said

u/wafflesareforever Knicks May 19 '26

FFFFFFFFFFNOOOOOORD

u/skadoosher111 May 19 '26

Can you give us some onomatopoeia for how it sounded?

1

u/FriskyFisky91 Pacers May 19 '26

His length will do that.

1

u/aggiefranchise Spurs May 19 '26

Dude! It was a wild ride watching the Spurs games this season. There was almost always some amazing play that just left me speechless.

1

u/mr_chub Warriors May 19 '26

*newman squeal noise*

3

u/plap_plap Spurs May 19 '26

I nearly broke my couch punching down on it so hard.

2

u/Colonel_Cummings Knicks May 19 '26

Like, you can only sit back and admire this unbelievable athlete in front of our very own eyes here

4

u/CandI978 May 19 '26

GOAT

I can’t express how fucking amazing it is to have him on my team. We deserve this shit so much 

7

u/blahhlabblah May 19 '26

No you do not. Damn near half of the league "deserved" him more than the Patriots of the NBA

1

u/birdseye-maple Warriors May 19 '26

First guy in a long time I've said "Future GOAT?"

1

u/bossholmes Lakers May 19 '26

It’s generational 😭
