Williams said this on Trae Young’s podcast “From the Point,” referencing the Clippers’ loss in 7 games to the Denver Nuggets in the Western Conference semifinals.

Williams said, “We started to hear the rumblings that nobody is going to respect this chip so we kind of just took our foot off the gas”

Lemon pepper Lou didn’t take the Bubble seriously?

*surprise pikachu face

And then a couple months later, everyone was happy to get their PS5 the same day they watched the Lakers get their championship rings.

I was about to become an NBA player but i heard my neighbour say I’m not good enough so i gave up

[–] getbackup21@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

“We could have won it but we didn’t want to” yeah ok buddy lol

[–] Vegetable-Ad-6584@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

HAHAHA what a loser of a an excuse

[–] ParamedicUnfair7560@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

That’s why he got them lemon pepper wings? Some of these dudes don’t take shit seriously

[–] gymclassh3ero@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Basically he's right

[–] duhprophet@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

He never wanted to be there though he was eating wings having fun with the other ladies there

This is a kind of dumbass take I'd expect from a die hard, one-eyed dedicated supporter on here that gets -100 or more downvotes and leads to them defending themself for the better part of the next 7 hours, not once getting positive upvotes.

[–] WranglerFormer@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Why am I seeing all this Lou Williams news pop up. Just curious, did he have an interview recently

[–] AvengedTenfold@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Something about the Clippers just turns dudes into losers man

[–] Away_Sun_3040@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Lou, save the excuses. If this is how you cope with the Clippers failure, fine. If your team took their foot off the gas that was weak minded move. You all have no one to blame but yourselves.

[–] nightbefore2@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Is that not like the softest thing anyone has ever heard? You didn’t want a ring because of ..what, social media vibes? So you stopped trying? If my player said this I’d bench them on principle lol

[–] markevbs@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

What a bitch

[–] NewRoryAndMalDrop@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

That’s fully insane. NBA Twitter and this sub has infected the minds of players.

[–] FactsKellerman@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

And this is why he sits at home ringless today.

And in a later interview on Podcast P (great podcast by the way) he and Paul George discussed how hard it was to be in the bubble and how much it sucked. So you heard rumblings that no one would respect it, even though you all were playing in such difficult circumstances let you and Paul George tell it?

[–] CowFinancial7000@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

And what chip do you have that is currently respected, Lou?

[–] the_moosen@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

If my team won it, you're got damn right I'd be calling it legit.

But since we didn't, then hell yea it's a Mickey Mouse ring. Doubly so because the Lakers won it.

[–] National_Funny7559@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Such a blatant excuse…

[–] GiveMeSomeIhedigbo@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I'm not sure if this is more embarrassing if it's true or if it's a lie to excuse choking away a 3-1 lead.

[–] bryant-reeves@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

A) this sounds like an excuse b) why would you admit this?

[–] Nizzy14@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Major cope. If the clippers wouldn’t have choked that year and actually won the title in the bubble. We would’ve never heard the end of it still to this day. They would bring it up any chance they could just like Boston does with their ‘08 title.

[–] ThereIsNoTime23@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

People don't realize that lou will, pat bev, and trez all had family members die while in the bubble. It makes sense that they were out of it but people don't care about context.

[–] HippoSpa@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Bubble chip is the most legit.

All basketball, no bs. Probably the playoff with the least amount of referees making questionable calls.

[–] Urugururuu@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Let’s be honest. No one was saying Mickey Mouse ring shit until Lebron won. If the Clippers had won it the championship would be looked at just the same as Torontos. And tbh KD and Klay got hurt in that series and No one gives Toronto shit. (And they shouldn’t)

The point of the whole season is to win the championship. To say you don’t want to because it won’t count as much is such bs and is a lie to protect ego.

[–] Waihzs@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

No reason to say this 2+ years later. Especially like that

[–] Okaysaid@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

If that was the case then why even go to the bubble in the first place.

[–] wekris91@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Anyone who thinks that championship is worth less than any other are pure idiots and Skip Bayless clones.

Lou should go back to chucking lemon pepper wings.

[–] crypto_cooker@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Lou Williams cancelled himself. Never want to read something about him ever again. Stupid as hell
