DeMar definitely got that old head mentality but he still a good dude and seems to get a lot of respect around the league
Agreed, this is just one small aspect about him that I find annoying cause I’ve seen him blow up on a team/player before when they score in a winning game as the clock runs down.
Do I personally think the winning should run out the clock, especially in a blowout victory? Yes, but am I going to loose control of my emotions because someone breaks an “unspoken rule”? No.
Yes, both things are true. He's more of a purist, but also a guy everyone likes and respects for his game.
I remember when he lost the dunk contest he was disappointed because it seemed like the dunks that got the most praise were the ones with costumes and props, and not the more traditional acrobatics and body control. Just a guy who has strong feelings about how the game should be played.
Yeah idk why people try and force dumb narratives like that. One comment and all of a sudden dudes are calling him an asshole and a whiny bitch. Miserable people.
Thats the Reddit way.
People on r/nba will literally take any reason to start hating on someone. Just look at the Wemby and Pop threads recently, two people who have been glazed constantly. Fairweather ass haters tbh, if you actually hate someone do it for a good reason and say it with your chest even when the majority is against you, fucking fence sitting ass karma farming losers

The users on the sub are massive frontrunners and will glaze everyone who's currently winning and shit on everyone who's currently losing.
I think this sub just discourages discussion bc everyone just downvotes if you disagree.
So that’s why you see threads just leaning one way with some old jokes thrown in. Bc anyone who opposes or has a diff opinion just gets downvoted or called a nephew/casual.
So that’s why it may look like one minute everyone is on one side, then the next everyone on another. Just depends on the thread. I think they shouldn’t let you see up/downvotes in this sub. Think it would help a lot
Hold up here. There are plenty of reasons to dislike popovich. First of all he is not a good coach; he has never done anything with a team that didn’t have multiple hall of famers. This is particularly true with the horrible job he did with team USA, leading a team comprised entirely of NBA caliber players against teams with at most two NBA players, yet finishing 7th. Then we have his condescending holier than thou attitude. So yeah, plenty to dislike.
French kid made a dry joke and people are calling him an ungrateful asshole. Have you ever met a French person before? Dry humor is as French as Canadians saying sorry.
Huge nothingburger of a controversy where people willfully took what he said and made it worst case scenario. And some people even had the gall to say "What did you expect he's French?" Fucking disgusting man
Oh jeez dude just wait until you hear about Josh giddey being a pedophile
Hope you’re sitting down
I’ve been hating Wemby and Pop since day 1
Just like I’ve hated Delly because he’s the worst nba player I’ve ever seen and he pulls bush league shit like not cutting his fucking fingernails. This sub loves him and I’ll continue taking downvotes for saying he never belonged in the nba.
I honestly just believe that the NBA seems to have more "divas" like Harden and Irving so the fans are a bit fed up and ready to turn on anybody.
The Giannis ladder incident is the one that I always think of when it comes to this flip flopping.
one comment? he has literally fought on the court before regarding this.
cause he is a whiny ass bitch, wahhhhh you tried to score in the dying seconds when already up!!! your not supposed to do that!!!! like why, does it make you feel bad that your gonna lose by 12 instead of 10? how about try winning next time you whiny ass clown, he's just mad him and his team are ass and can't play D or O to win the game so he takes it out on this "respect the game" bullllshittttt. If there's time on the clock you can score, if you don't like it then make sure your team is up at the end of the game. whiny ass bitch
Yup, if you don’t like it, just don’t let them score
I haven't seen anybody calling him much of anything. He's one of my favorite players on and off the court. His style isn't optimal for results but it's beautiful, largely fundamental basketball mixed with well honed, well mastered motions.
DeMar has a hard head for the game being beautiful by an old definition. My preferences jive with his because I think beauty in sport is sidelined in pro leagues. For this, he will always have detractors. People I disagree with.
But they are not miserable. They're not whiny bitches. They just have different tastes than me. To look down on people for talking their talk in this slop of a sub is weak. Get off your high horse and eat some collagen to thicken your skin.
It's like you've never seen DeMar DeRozan but you've got opinions about him. Weird.
