He Should Have Never Said This

there's nothing more satisfying than when a player talks trash and fulfills their own prophecy by doing exactly what they said they would maybe a game-winner a clutch moment the occasional poster that has the opposition questioning their existence but what about when a player talks smack and it completely backfires in the most humiliating way imaginable while this is one of the ultimate sins in all of basketball thou shall not talketh the talk if thou cannot walketh the walk this is treacherous territory luckily for our entertainment when it comes to the nba these moments are captured for the entire world to see like last season when damien lillard had some interesting but eventually regretful words for stephen curry after losing kevin durant and with klay thompson out for the season most fans knew the warriors were not going to look the same as they did throughout their super team era this realization became clear just two games into the season when the warriors lost to the nets by 26 and then two days later lost to the bucks by 39 throughout that entire first week of the season stephen curry was struggling without his star teammates shooting worse than he ever had in his entire career and in just their fifth game of the season the warriors faced off against the portland trailblazers and once again the warriors struggles would continue as they would go on to lose that game in a 25 point blowout dame had 34 points steph with 26. now damien lillard who has spent all of his days in the nba carrying his team believed that steph's struggles boiled down to one simple fact it's tough to get those quality looks right now you know it's different than what it's looked like you know over the last four or five years for him so um he's trying to get quality looks and get a clean look so he can make a good one you know it's you don't really have that luxury to just like take one from from that deep you know just to be taking it at the time dame's statements were very true with steph virtually running a one-man offense all they have to do is just keep him from getting his normal shots and throw him out of rhythm and just two days later the warriors faced the blazers again and damien lillard's theory was put to the test eric jones jr acquired from miami as a free agent hounding curry on they're gonna make noise in the west curry around covington pass nurkic with the same five starters and free throw in the three-point play curry right down the line good screen by bayes more three on the way def cut back door little float he reloaded when [Applause] curry little floater staff step back three yes ricochet to step he just catches men a little leaner push shot curry from deep 59. draymond finds him another three 62 [Music] 62. i think it's safe to say that lillard was just a bit off in his assessment just two days after his comments on curry steph put up a career-high 62 points on damien lillard in the blazers 62 points summoning his inner and i took that personally demon and wreaking havoc on the blazers it is crazy how just a few critical words can inspire a player to shred an entire defense like this but steph's rampage on dame did not stop there because during that entire season steph's averages against the blazers were 41 points seven assists and five rebounds again that's what he averaged against the blazers for an entire season these are prime wilt chamberlain numbers this is sick all because dame said he wouldn't get the same shots as he used to that's not even disrespectful that's just an opinion it's too bad steph didn't see it

in a league full of stars like last season when kyrie irving spoke about the addition of kevin durant to the net's lineup saying that for the first time in his career he finally has a teammate that can hit clutch shots like he can 10 seconds left one point game who's shooting you you were kyrie cady depends on who's hot i don't see it as that there's anything other than that like 1-3 pick-and-roll or iso for either one of us or it's something great for our our team i'm one thing i've always been comfortable with is you know i felt like i was the best option on every team i played for you know down the stretch this is the first time in my career where i could look down and be like that [ __ ] make that shot too now there's no denying that kyrie irving and kevin durant are some of the most clutch and capable shooters of all time but uh kyrie used to play with this other guy in cleveland and he was pretty good in the clutch too final five seconds going to work lebron james got it he did available [Applause] for the win it's gone lebron james at the buzzer stuns the chicago balls but hey at least kyrie got the clutch teammate he always wanted durant will have a chance here his jumper won't go that's it brooklyn trying to stay unbeaten durant oh great jump burning hits the deck lost it loose harris to inbounds durant doesn't get it off in time and the wizards are going to win back on irving and now bam switches onto him the three up in the air dropping a deny durant durant gets freed puts up the three-pointer short no good ball game there's kyrie with a deep deep three and uh out to durant durant one dribbles fires it up oh back of the rim durant for three comes up with an air ball [Applause] yeah now i'm not saying these two aren't clutch but uh you cannot start the season saying you finally have a clutch teammate that can make shots like you can then go on to miss several crucial clutch shots during the season then end your season on a missed game winner you just can't do that otherwise some wise ass youtuber will make a video about it which i guess is still better than the infamous 3-1 blown lead by the golden state warriors in 2016 a fate that no player wants to be a part of especially joel embiid since he had this to say in a post-game interview during the 2019 playoffs but both of you just how important was it to get this win because you did play a lot of minutes you weren't sure right up until tip whether you were going to play it was really important because we wanted to get this one and go home and try to finish it so feels good to be up 3-1 so we definitely don't want to be in a situation like the warriors two years ago embiid in the sixers eventually closed out their series against the nets in five games a few days later so mission accomplished no blown lead well at least not yet their next opponents were the raptors in the second round and by the end of game three the sixers had a 2-1 series lead their last win a massive 21 point blowout i'm sure you can guess what happens next yeah time's gonna run out though on the 76ers as the raptors come back a toronto route to take a three games to two lead in the eastern conference semifinals defended by simmons is this the dagger we definitely don't want to be in a situation like the warriors two years ago [Applause] [Music] i'll uh i'll just leave it at that now when it comes to basketball i'm not sure which is worse missing a game winner or getting a game winner scored on you i've had my fair share of both of these happening to me and for a split second if you listen closely you can hear the whole world laughing at you paul george is familiar with this feeling since he has been on the receiving end of more game winning shots than anyone in nba history right now he goes around he's going to shoot to tie the game colby three on his way oh [Music] james [Applause] look look look they get it to powell lobster [Applause] they got it rudy gay rudy gay for the win rudy gay if there's any children watching this i apologize i know that was some graphic footage but we need context here this man has a mixtape of game winners getting scored on him and it's nearly 11 minutes long but if all the game winners hit on paul george one stands above the rest the 37-foot dagger damien lillard hit on him to send the thunder packing in the first round of the playoffs two seasons ago this was one of the greatest game winners in nba playoff history but in the infamous words of paul george this was a bad shot when you defended it about as well as you can at some point you've got to let a guy shoot that don't you and just live with the results yeah yeah i mean that's a bad shot um i care what anybody says that's a bad shot but hey he made it that story won't be told that it was a bad shot we live with that now although pg's comments were a bit out of pocket he's not necessarily wrong he was playing good defense and dame just happened to hit a crazy shot but it's not like this is the first time this has happened i mean second time i mean third i mean fourth i mean fifth i mean sixth i mean seventh i mean eight i mean ninth i mean tenth i mean eleventh time this has happened but i'm sure it won't happen again how many more game winners can a man take [Applause] [Music] care what anybody says that's a bad shot both in the penalty under two to play hard step back puts up the three got hit shots good that's a bad shot and the sons have it six to play booker this is for the win got it i don't care what anybody says that's a bad shot in his bag deep like the fries are at the bottom it's a bad shot but hey he made it that story won't be told it was a bad shot with that [Music] you
