Times NBA Players HUMILIATED Reporters..

one nba player clowned a reporter so hard he became a meme for life another got a reporter fired in front of hundreds of people these are the times nba players humiliated reporters and nothing compares to when lebron humiliated the reporter so bad it ruined their career i think we all remember that embarrassing moment where j.r smith literally dribbled out the clock when his team wasn't even up and cost the cavs game one of the finals but one thing you might not know is lebron is the one who had to deal with all the media backlash and when it came time for the post game interviews he wasn't in the mood for any stupid questions lebron mark schwartz espn from listening to everybody's reaction to the play at the end with jr getting the rebound there's still confusion about whether jr thought the game was tied or whether he thought you guys were ahead from where you stood on the court and from talking to him after the play what's your version what do you mean with my version well did he think that the game was tied or did he think that you guys had salted away how do i know that or did you discuss it at all with him at the end of the play no they asked me if i talked to j.r about it i said no already that's my view so i don't know what j.r was thinking i don't know the question you're trying to ask look at lebron's face do you see how pissed off this man is the last thing this reporter should do is ask more questions right well let's see what he does i was just trying to see if you you knew exactly what his state of mind was did he think that you guys had it won or did he think he was trying to make a play not sure i'm not sure no i don't know his state of mind did you know if he knew the score [Music] thank you yeah uh you know you messed up when you make a man with a purse and suit shorts that pissed off like this interview got over two million views so after this happened the public started to hate mark schwartz i mean there are literally entire videos dedicated to him asking stupid questions ridiculous okay so we all just saw how lebron is after a finals loss he was uh not a happy camper but mark should have known better because back in 2017 the same thing happened lebron was in the nba finals he lost a reporter had some stupid questions and how do you think lebron reacted to the case were you going to defend home well i mean are you a smart guy i think so you think so right so we don't defend home court what happens yeah i know that's what i'm saying i'm asking you well yeah you guys are looking at getting swept all right so thanks for your question man y'all really need to stop asking lebron stupid-ass questions especially after finals losses but lebron is an aggressive guy so you'd expect him to humiliate some reporters now chris paul on the other hand he's one of the nicest guys in the nba so he wouldn't humiliate a reporter right well one time he humiliated a reporter so bad it went viral this happened in the 2017 playoffs during the clippers versus jazz series la had just lost game 5 96-92 so coming into the post-game interview of course chris was frustrated his clippers were now down 3-2 in the series one more loss and they're done for the season and uh that's what a reporter asked a dumb question at the wrong time chris uh will the clippers be back here sunday playing the game seven what you're feeling about you know your level of confidence that you'll be back here again i'm on the team would you let me say no so i mean that's what you want to hear yes that's come on man you've been doing this long enough seriously right did you expand upon that no i don't know everybody in here laughing for a reason you know uh i i don't know what answer that reporter was expecting but i don't think this dude expected to get put on blast like that poor guy had the whole room laughing at him embarrassing but not as embarrassed as you'll be if you don't drop a like subscribe to the channel yeah that's right we'll get chris paul to clown you i know you can't risk that so what are you doing but anyways this reporter wasn't subscribed so he got what he deserved but at least chris paul didn't get him fired because uh draymond green well he did just that the warriors had just come off a legendary season going 73-9 they were cruising through the first round of the 2016 playoffs they just come off a game four win beating the rockets 121-94 and i mean the warriors were looking unstoppable didn't really matter what team they faced they steamrolled them but this was a really difficult time for the rockets see houston was dealing with severe flooding and this was devastating for the city thousands lost their homes and many people died but one shameless reporter saw this as an opportunity to get a headline here's an interesting question so last year you visited us game three the no flood you win game four there was vlad you lose and this year you visit us game three there's a lot you win game four there's no flood you uh oh no game three three there's a lot of you you lose game four there's all right man if you can't even get the question out of your mouth don't don't even ask it uh no fly you mean ask me about the flood in practice the other day you know and i um i i said i pray for the city of houston because you don't want to see anyone go through that i feel like you keep trying to get at like us hitting threes or something you're trying to get a controversial statement out of me but you're not because i feel sorry for the people of houston people are losing their homes losing their cars losing their lives losing loved ones and you're trying to get a controversial statement out of me about the threes where and i know what you're getting at but you're not getting that out of me it's it sucks if i was from houston i'd do anything i can to help the city out and i'm sure some of those guys are going to do what they can to help the city out and you saw a donation of the other the other night suck stop trying do that that's not cool man you keep asking me the same question about this flood these people are losing their lives bro losing their homes don't ask me that no more cause it ain't cool and you're not getting the statement you want out of me that's not cool man stop doing that this reporter really tried that disgusting i'm just glad draymond told him off and the only headline that came out of the situation is that the reporter got fired literally an hour after the interview but at least this reporter didn't become the biggest meme in the world that's what happened back in 2013. russell westbrook was on the thunder and they had just suffered a devastating loss to the jazz westbrook only scored 22 points and had seven turnovers this was one of his worst games and he was pissed at himself westbrook headed to the locker room where the media was waiting and well a reporter asked a question that went down in history did you guys lose this game or did the jazz win this one what bro what are you talking about man hello i'm out man did they win or did they lose did you not check the score you know whatever man never mind i see why westbrook snapped i mean not only did this reporter get humiliated in front of everyone in that room this clip went mega viral and it became one of the biggest memes in nba history but this was just the beginning back in 2016 westbrook and kevin durant had beef and the cavs ended up facing the warriors on christmas day and a thriller the game came down to the last few seconds and kyrie drove to the hoop spun and hit the game-winning shot so what does this have to do with westbrook well right after it happened a video went viral of westbrook practicing and as he hit a shot and ran away just listen to what he says yeah it sounded like westbrook yelled thank you kyrie making fun of the fact that kyrie just hit a game-winning shot against kd now of course this went viral instantly so a reporter had to ask westbrook about it but uh it did not go as planned you want to comment on that at all what there's a video i look like okay for a minute thank you i didn't know if you want to clear anything up i don't want to receive a video there's a video that the thunder twitter account tweeted out what video it's a video of you putting up a shot pre-game ran off and yelling so i never say no other man's name like that thank you kyrie what do i look like i was talking to my trainer's daughter his name is her daughter his daughter's thank you jamie i'm tired i ain't everybody keep going on that i'm i'm gonna keep my spirit up cause i i'm not about to even involve myself in no dope stuff like that but next question man man people gotta stop asking this man stupid questions it's almost trying to get slapped that was crazy is this wasn't even the angriest that westbrook got at a reporter back in 2018 after a game between the warriors and the thunder a very controversial play happened with two and a half minutes left in the third quarter westbrook drove in for a layup and after the shot he fell on nick young and zaza pachulia seemingly fell on russ purposely almost like he was trying to injure him see if you don't know westbrook and zaza have had beef for years and in 4k quality you could see this fall on top of westbrook was clearly intentional so when westbrook was asked the stupid question about it he snapped what happened [Music] oh what do you mean rapping what do you think what happened i don't know i couldn't see don't lie don't lie you couldn't see it you started to replay four times what happened you fell on your leg thank you don't ask me dumb question you know the answer to this attention did you see it what it looked like what the lie did anybody touch them yes or no i didn't see the replay oh you didn't see it but why are you asking about something well then if you didn't see it don't ask me a question don't ask me don't question man obviously it was intentional so don't ask me was it intentional nobody touched me fell over my leg tried to hurt me you know but hey that's how i go do you think that's something the nba needs to look into hey man that's it and look at it you know what i'm saying that's it you've had a couple run-ins with zaza do you think he's a dirty player yeah for sure for sure seriously was today oh no not you oh okay look it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see what happened unless zaza is out here tripping on ghosts i'm gonna say this was on purpose now i get it sometimes reporters can't help but ask a stupid question but what happens when an nba player says something stupid i mean one player literally said dinosaurs are still on earth but they're just hiding another player said humans used to be a hundred feet tall like what oh you want to hear more about that well click on this video right here these are the dumbest things nba players have ever set and uh trust me you want to see all the dumb stuff kyrie said it's not just one thing so what are you still doing here this video is over click it
