Lmao this is absolutely delay of game, everyone’s lined up for the FT and he’s still down on one knee preventing the floor being cleaned, and he admitted to doing it deliberately to wait for the highlight to pop up. Classic CP3.

[–] secretsodapop@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I've still never seen one where CP3 was not in the wrong. He has some personal issue with Scott Foster. It's not the other way around.

So they do show the replay and he's still tying the same shoe 20 seconds later? Bunny ears, Chris! It shouldn't take that long haha. It wouldn't be called either if he wasn't in the lane. Scott Foster still sucks but I wouldn't say for this call.

[–] blocking-io@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Y'all are saying delay of game but Scott made that call while the floor was still being cleaned. Even if CP wasn't tying his shoelaces, Harden would still need to wait until cleaners are done

They couldn't clean the floor because CP3 was there though

[–] blocking-io@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

What? the ref was pointing at spots for the cleaner to clean and it was away from CP. It's not like the cleaner was standing there waiting for CP to move

[–] Laggo@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

this happens every game and they try and clean the floor basically every stoppage for a little bit when they get a chance, for any other player its not a big deal whatsoever, he wasn't blocking anything lol.

[–] SheldonMF@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

23 seconds to tie your shoe, man. Everyone was lined up and ready to go and it's only when Foster is making his way over to the table to dish the tech that he gets up.

Say what you will about any of the other run-ins they've had, but this one is super egregious. They're both assholes. It's part of his game. And Foster has a power trip.

[–] thy_armageddon@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I’m gonna teach you guys a little lesson I learned from a few lawyers once. If you want to make a case against corruption or anything unjust, you need to make sure the client you’re going to put in front of the jury is absolutely immaculate. CP3 is not that guy. This is basically a battle of two assholes. People in the larger picture won’t give a shit, and the people giving a shit now are only doing it as a reactive response.

[–] Electronic-Arm6902@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (3 children)

What has CP3 actually done to make people talk about him like this? You’d swear he’s miles fkcn bridges the way people rip on his character

[–] Electronic-Arm6902@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I appreciate you taking the time for the sources, I really do. But none of this tells me Chris Paul is some terrible person. The Brunson one was completely harmless

[–] heytanto@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

He didn't say "not a terrible person"—he said "absolutely immaculate"

[–] Ok_Assumption5734@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Dirty basketball player means the NBA and foster can justify coming down on him harder due to prior history. You'd ideally want someone with an unassailable on court and off court record to make the accusation so the convo can't be changed

[–] Pleasant_Heat_1259@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

HAHAHA what the fuck does this have to do with corrupt reffing??

[–] thy_armageddon@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Bro, the question was why people treat CP3 as an irredeemable character. Keep up here.

[–] Pleasant_Heat_1259@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The paragraph you wrote is genuine brain damage.

Nobody cares about what you think you know what YouTube lawyers. There’s no criminal case going on. There’s no courtroom. Chris Paul’s conduct does not matter. If there is a problem with matchfixing by referees, it doesn’t matter if CP3 Draymond-stomped Scott Fosters sons chest.

And then your “logic” of why CP3 wouldn’t have creditability for imaginary court is because he’s made dirty plays. I actually can’t even wrap my mind around the points you’re trying to make

[–] thy_armageddon@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Buddy, nobody’s talking about an actual court of law.

[–] Pleasant_Heat_1259@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

A lesson I learned from lawyers

make a case against corruption

your client

in front of a jury

Are you seriously okay???

If anything comes out of this, it prompts an internal investigation where they look at Scott Fosters objectivity as a referee. Stil have 0 idea how CP3 making dirty plays in the best relates.

[–] thy_armageddon@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Man I don’t know what to tell you, everybody else gets the point. You’re failing to grasp the basic concept of an analogy, they taught that in high school. I can’t help you from here.

[–] Pleasant_Heat_1259@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (3 children)

I would stake my life on you not have a college education.

[–] thy_armageddon@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

That’s because you have a gambling addiction.

[–] PuebloNoBueno@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago
[–] ManofManyHills@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I would stake my life that you are socially tolerated by your peers but not actually liked by any of them.

[–] Bigole_Steps@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Looking through those, not very compelling evidence that cp3 is a dirty player imo. Most of those are nothing or incidental

[–] Onepopcornman@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I think the biggest reason people hate Chris is that he is profoundly uncool.

He is a state farm guy.

He cares way too much. Even when he doesn’t need too.

He thinks he’s outsmarting his opponents when in reality his advantage is immaterial or counter acted by the fact he is being annoying and has earned people ill will. This includes some of dirty play.

Like Jordan he clearly wants to push everyone to care like him. Which is annoying at best if you don’t have Jordan’s rings

He enjoys and pushes people to do stuff like bowling.

Dude is just annoying. Never mind he might be the greatest player under 6 foot of all time.

[–] notabear629@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Chris Paul is definitely both whiney and dirty, him being on my team now makes us better, but also does not change that, idk what other guy is on about

[–] karlwhethers@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

He’s like 2 weeks removed from just diving at Mike Conley’s knees for almost no benefit. Mike Conley…he’s the sweetest guy. Have you ever looked into his eyes? It’s like the first time I heard the Beatles.

[–] Fantasy_Ball@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Gonna need a documentary on this exposing everything when they’re both retired

[–] am0rn@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Never thought I’d side with Chris Paul but here we are.

[–] LoWE11053211@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

can you imagine that year Thunders still get into playoffs? in a 4-5 matchup after they trade an ex MVP and a no3 MVP voting guy

[–] Thermicthermos@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (4 children)

Thats was the perfect example of why Westbrook is not a winning player.

Bro admits to trying to see a replay but mad he gets called for delay of game?

[–] lastpagan@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

"So I was delaying the game, and ref came up and whistled me for delaying the game, AFTER he told me knows I'm delaying the game"

What is this dude on

[–] N0minal@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Foster literally being on speed dial with donaghy.... We're just going to pretend that didn't happen.

Ok. Gotcha

[–] Gauthzu@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Does foster also talks over the phone to others refs a lot? Genuine question (Note that Im asking about Foster, not Donaghy)

[–] f4usto85@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

In the report that came out it said he had called Donaghy about 130 times and not any other ref more than 7 times IIRC..... so, no, he talked to Donaghy much more than anyone else.

[–] Gauthzu@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Isn't it the other way around and Donaghy didnt call anyone else that much?

[–] f4usto85@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/181won9/haberstroh_chris_pauls_teams_have_been_favored_in/ Sorry, got confused, Donaghy and Foster spoke 134 times, not sure how much Foster talks to others because I suppose he hasn't been investigated (yet).

Scott Foster gave Chris Paul depression next on ESPN

[–] mecon320@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

We need someone like LeBron, KD, or Curry to just start tweeting about Foster's phone calls to Donaghy to see what the league does.

[–] National-Waltz-3343@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I know it won’t have the same impact but that sounds like a mission for Kyrie 😂

[–] babby_pls@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I mean, yeah Scott's been fucking with Chris Paul but please do look the video yourselves: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NH5pManYLqM

Furthermore, Chris just said that he was "tying his shoe" in the hopes of delaying the free throws so they could see the replay.

[–] teamweed420@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Mf’s are mopping the floor in the clip lmao get outta here
