Why Do NBA Players STILL DO This DISGUSTING Thing?

[@SkiLILs]

Notice at :45 Kevin Love, a vet, holds the ball taking the TO. That's a champion right there.

[@drunkenmasterii3250]

exactly, I mostly see this kind of shit from shitty teams and players that never accomplished anything.

[@kingdeedee]

Or it's somebody that understands the rule that it really doesn't count against him

[@briant4266]

JR smith taught him good

[@Jimmy58261]

Because he already got paid

[@konnichiyawa1360]

It counts as team turnover not individual idiot

[@tavesty2559]

They not tryna have their teammate grade go down 4 letters

[@Trollar]

Hahaha

[@TheGrindcorps]

tяavesty literally this is what I wrote. And if you are stat padding in the game it will count shot clock violations off of hot potato n shit as personal turnovers. I don’t know if they just don’t realize it needs a patch or if they want it to be “more realistic” by not even essentially scoring the game correctly.🤣

[@samculver9852]

TheGrindcorps you’re talking about 2k right. Not IRL tho

[@TheGrindcorps]

Cygnus X-69 yeah 2k will do that. Which is incorrect. That’s why it’s puzzling to see this just as is pointed out in the video because IRL it is not counted as a personal turnover. Do the players think they are playing 2k in IRL or something?🤦‍♂️

Its a unwritten rule that you cant do that

@Calisharp yeah ik, i rather see a scuffle in the end🤣

[@TyFhoonBoom]

@Calisharp lol That's not true, the opposing teams can do w/e they want because they're losing. I've seen losing teams run double teams at the last second for a steal.

[@CodeWithLukas]

@@TyFhoonBoom when the games is close, then yes, but if its a blowout, whats the point of double teaming, thats just disrespectful

No. The game is 48 minutes long - play better defense.

[@wildcatwarface5544]

Always speaking the truth💪🏻

[@requinbleu3358]

Do you know what they so worried about that ? Millions of dollars is the reason, some of them have a contract like if you dont have more than 200 turnover, you can take 300.000 dollars bonus

[@afr0cuban57]

I never even noticed or cared about this. My tv is usually off at that point

[@snorman1951]

Back in the day, players honored the game and their opponents by playing to the buzzer. None of them died that I know of. Basketball isn't what it used to be. Probably because the players aren't what they used to be. But the powers that be let it happen and here we are.

[@prem_tamilsiddha8987]

This may be affecting entire team's moral, even if ever so slightly. I'm surprised that teams - who spend many millions and countless hours to optimise a player's and team's efficiency - would allow a player's ego to negatively affect relationships unnecessarily.

[@otakurocklee]

Under 10s, they should just be able to end the game if both teams agree. So much awkwardness in those last seconds.

[@TheKevinGeee]

Because it is all about stats now. That's what you get when people debate on who's the greatest and just base things out of stats. It's also the reason why we have stat padders like Westbroook.

[@NuryPPanaligan]

Kbangele is a nice teammate. I would love him to be on Miami Heat.

[@zapzwkey]

whenever i hear your intro i always got hyped theres no long chatting in the start, you always go to the point unlike others, they repeat subscribe and like the video 20 times already before the vid even starts

[@holoqh]

I think that there has to be a point during negotiations when Caused Team Turnovers are used against the players. Even if it's wrong because getting the ball 0.2 before the clock ends is not your fault, I think that GMs somehow find a way to bring it up to pay the players less. Which would explain why veterans and players with star status don't mind taking it.

[@beegeebad3193]

NBA records coming in from the 90s below are the ones that were NATURALLY created by players who never cared about STATS. but they sure cared more on winning and playing until the last buzzer. a big f you to the present generation of ballers

[@Strongaholic]

Catching the breath at the end 😅

[@FiBonaCCi.1]

Why do teams keep doing that fair play thing instead of attacking regularly? I dont understand how playing basketball is unfair at the end of a game.

[@davidtogi5878]

Exactly. Its a weird tradition that i have never found on any other sports. I mean id rather get pummeled to the ground than get pitied by my opponent.

[@FiBonaCCi.1]

@@davidtogi5878 absolutely right! Just play basketball untill the clock goes to 0.

[@AaronMichaelLong]

Well, when your position on the roster is judged by some chonk at a computer looking at analytics data, it's a completely rational thing to do.

[@TheNexler]

did you watch the video? shot clock violations do not count as a player's turnover

[@gooberunknown]

The NBA could just stop counting those TO’s

[@latriciaroundtree3465]

Exactly

[@MrEueu89]

Agreed. Seriously is this so hard to do?

[@DetroitsReaper]

They don't count as turnovers though lol

[@benjaminrei1319]

Alpha’s NBA Content they don’t count as personal TO’s

[@j.g.4726]

They don’t count towards players’ individual statlines. Plus, the analytics used by NBA front offices of course do not include garbage time stats, so this doesn’t really matter. It has no consequences.

[@MikeLoveThyself]

It’s not that serious, it’s not affecting the outcome of the game which matters most

[@sheb5961]

I love that the script is written in the description

[@mothecat9943]

Meanwhile, Luka asks for the ball in situations like that and dribbles the clock out, showing what a leader he is. He's even done that as a rookie.

[@DetroitsReaper]

Maybe cause he knows it doesnt coubt lol

[@SimonAivoges]

@@DetroitsReaper true

[@BigBaph]

What? That makes him a leader how?

[@truthhurts837]

If you don’t know then you’re not a leader. I noticed something a few years back.These knuckleheads can make a pinpoint bounce pass on a dime, on the run, thru traffic on the money but when the whistle blows they can’t flick the ball over to the ref. Ha. They just drop it where they stand. Ha. Disrespect. If you want respect, gotta be respectful. Peace. I’m out.

[@duran3d]

What I dislike is not the "hot potato" game. What I dislike is that players stop playing when there are 20 or 10 seconds left if the scoreboard is not tight. That is lack of respect the public and to your team. Do your freaking job and score as many points as you can until the game is over!

[@jamescathode6917]

It's team turnover so it doesn't matter who has the ball right?

[@boothe2803]

Literally just repeated what this entire video said

1:22 that's what you call turnover beater pass. Pass it in the last second so he can't pass it back. LMAO

[@Sharps_and_i_edc]

It’s more annoying cause the game isn’t over. Keep fucking playing

[@Savage_Gamer777]

As someone like me that plays a lot of pickup games and have playing with a player in a pickup game from the Phoenix suns me and that player from the Phoenix suns talk about scoring and he was telling me it’s crazy how people only work on scoring and they just think about scoring that’s the only thing most players think about. They don’t ever credit that person that passed them the ball. No one cares about play making and so on. This is why players can’t even finish around the rim. What do they work on mostly nowadays? Three pointers yep.

[@omnivorous65]

Why not simply play the game until the end. Score. Defend. Yes, it is decided but this stupid obsession with "respecting" your opponent by not trying to score in the final seconds. It is is boring, terrible to look at and kind of pointless. Let's respect the game and play it right until the final whistle.

[@ramiroarregui5756]

In fiba rules, the referies can end the game 30" before time's up, when continue playing is irrlevant for score board

[@ripcity5o3]

You a real one heat check 👌🏽 like how you put videos out knowing not everyone will agree

[@micahnelson379]

We are nitpicking with this, load management is the real issue

[@Youremyproblem]

I'm not sure if you're serious or just memeing...

[@justinpurcell3717]

Definitely load management

[@sstteevveenn77]

Just curious, why is “load management” an issue?

[@holoqh]

Playing 82 games in such a short amount of time is the problem. Even in the 80s and 90s players complained. Nowadays, with players using their bodies to an extent they didn't before and with the pace increasing so much, injuries are so common and sometimes so devastating that players and staff prefer to take a loss rather than risk injuring their superstar. If the NBA either extended the season, which would anger the players (they need the summer to rest their body, train, see their families etc...) or reduced the amount of games played in a season (which the NBA never would, because they'd rather hurt the players than lose money over unplayed games) then load management would become less common and the NBA could actually punish teams for doing so.

[@justanaveragehuman3557]

@AcqrlFN whats your point. Are trying to deny the fact that playing that many games puts players at injury risk

[@ezkill5361]

[@yuechu1628]

I often notice the key players passing off the ball to a role player seconds before shot clock expire with clear intention (subjective) to avoid taking low percentage shot or getting a clock violation turnover. Many of them do it, like Lebron, James Harden, Westbrook (sometimes); while many don’t, such as Khawi, Giannis, Steph I feel like this is such an interesting topic, but I cant find any compilation of this on KZbin. My question is: am I being subjective about this (as I do observe this behavior more often on the players I like less), or is it a real thing, and if so is there already a post/video on it? Thank you

[@Chocolouf]

It shows how little even some NBA players know about the rules of the game they play professionally.

[@trellybo1t]

[@nolanhartman9046]

I feel like sometimes this is a locker room joke. Most of these guys probably get along well and they get a good laugh out of doing this to each other

[@franciscorios57]

I honestly think no matter what the score is you should ALWAYS play till the last buzzer. And you shouldn’t get mad if another team keeps running the score if you can’t stop them

[@mairayounas2691]

Bro, you're the only guy talking about this and I agree. I really feel like if i was the guy who got the pass at 1:21 I would be pisses at my teammate.

Lol i think it's more of a joke/prank...Like " Here u go buddy... have that" lol

[@rohanaslam2592]

If my teammate threw me the ball like that I wouldn’t even catch it. I would let it go out of bounds so they get a turnover. SMH.

I love the irony of players wanting to protect their analytics yet not playing out the game where they can acquire more offensive stats.

Well the NBA has made analytics such a dominant part of the sport that they have too. The machine doesn’t care about the circumstances of a play all it cares about is the result so I fully understand players not wanting to take that hit

[@kingdeedee]

It honestly baffles me that the league has been around for 73 years now and a lot of players still don't understand such a basic rule. Though some are probably just messing around with each other.

[@darshanpremkumar4632]

If someone does that, players that get the ball passed to should just not catch the ball so that the ball just goes out of bounds and the player who throws it also gets a turnover

this isn’t that big of a problem. it’s not even a problem to begin with.

[@ktksoccerstar5]

Exactly. How is it bad that they try and avoid those negative stats?

[@hexterzerda]

You know why they care so much about their stats? It's because nba fans nowadays only look up at the player stats so they can know how good the player is.

[@BigDawgJ92]

The disgusting thing to me is not playing until the end. I don't care if you're down 20 with 5 seconds left, play until the end

[@chuckcougar2589]

Wait why the cavs tryn to dribble out the clock when it’s a 3 point game

[@АвраамШульц]

what if everyone in the team just get together and keep touching the ball until the siren sound? that would be a real teamwork but which player would have a foul?

[@smdickinson8316]

This idea could work, if a player shoots a shot farther than 35 feet in the last 3 seconds of a quarter and they miss, it shouldn't count as a field goal attempt. This would make players take more hail Mary full courts instead of just fake trying them when the clock expires.

[@rodolfomajikina2924]

a disgusting thing is when they lick their hand, holds ball, passes ball, then the teammate also licks hand

[@gabrielguerrero3404]

I would think its more about them knowing the game is over because there's no possible way to score 10 or more points in 5-9 seconds unless the opponent makes horrendous mistakes. Why try and possibly get injured at the end of a game if its already decided? Especially for a regular season game

[@MAFion]

Here's one for you. Why do players slap hands with a shooter between free throws? That drives me nuts.

[@saamijaffer3829]

It's because they own themselves in fantasy ball

lol a league full of people who wants their personal stats more than team success . That’s why warriors dominated the league and Kawhi came in real quick getting rings and giannis may get one too . People need to learn to start doing whatever to win again. That’s why 30 points today don’t even feel the same as 30 points from when Kobe or Chris Paul or bron or wade did it in the 2000’s . Because it was literally them doing whatever they can to win not them trynna add an mvp to their resume
