He's looking to still, like, try to- like, try to keep the play going.
#Nba most embarrassing moments free
Kobe's guarding him at the free throw line. NASSIR LITTLE: That's how was guarding me.ĬHRIS HAYNES: So that's how ? So, I know. Kobe was guarding him from the free throw line. So Will, when he first came in the league, he couldn't shoot. Kobe Bryant was guarding Will, but he wasn't guarding him.
Look, Will Barton of the Denver Nuggets, he was on my pod a few years ago. That was probably, like, the most I was like, ah.ĬHRIS HAYNES: Listen, I swear it. Like, not even inside, like, not even missing good, like, I'm missing bad. Like, you just- and throughout the game, they're like, literally not guarding you, like, at all. You're pump faking, like- you're just like. Like, you- you're just like, you were wide open.
I was just like- I was like, damn, bro.ĬHRIS HAYNES: I know that- I know that NASSIR LITTLE: And it wasn't just one moment. It was throughout the course of a game, where like, we were playing Houston, and like, they were just literally not guarding me. The most embarrassing I felt, it wasn't one play. NASSIR LITTLE: I was like, why dunk on me. I don't want to say the first one, because the first time I was ever like, oh, was Jrue Holiday had dunked on me and it just caught me off guard.ĬHRIS HAYNES: That would catch you off guard. NASSIR LITTLE: I don't want to say my first one. What would you say throughout your three years playing the one, like, embarrassing moment you've had on the court? No matter who you blame or who "manipulated" the situation, it was a bad look.CHRIS HAYNES: Tell me you're one, like, everybody has that one moment in the league where it be like, damn, I got crossed up, I got dunked on, I got whatever. Different reports about Smith's 2013 deal have suggested different things, but here are the facts: The Cleveland Cavaliers veteran got $18 million from New York, then underwent serious knee surgery four days later. This one predates the last two years worth of mismanagement, which has seemed a whole lot more like a decade, but it confirms how long the Knicks have been battling themselves. Proof? Less than two years later, Hardaway was dumped in Dallas. Hardaway flashed ability in both stints with the club, but everyone and their mother knew the Knicks were in over their heads committing $71 million to a still-unproven guard in 2017. All of this stuff is just further evidence of New York's bungled roster construction. Just because they offloaded Hardaway in their blockbuster trade with the Dallas Mavericks in January doesn't mean the Knicks get a pass for supremely overpaying the man. For the sake of sparing you an exhaustive rehashing of the Knicks' incompetence here, let's keep it simple: Somehow, in part due to miscommunication over injuries and Porzingis' concern with the Knicks' losing culture, the team thought it best to deal its 23-year-old All-Star big man in exchange for draft picks and DeAndre Jordan, who's now reportedly fleeing the scene to team up with - wait for it - KD and Kyrie. This kind of goes hand-in-hand with the failed pursuit of KD and Kyrie, but it was also its own sideshow. The lottery is a lottery, of course, but for New York to absolutely stink it up a la the Sam Hinkie 76ers and then watch their prized target, Zion Williamson, end up in New Orleans, which has a roster the Knicks probably dream of owning, was a huge loss. But this is the Knicks we're talking about! This is the team that was supposed to alter its core with world-class talent this summer. He should at least make the 2019-20 Knicks intriguing alongside Ellington and Julius Randle. But to go through so much cap clearing and then miss on both superstars, both of whom desired a move to New York, is outrageous. If Dolan could've convinced just one half of the Durant-Irving duo to suit up in orange and blue, things might've been OK.
There was just so much buildup for a moment like this, only to see the Knicks come away completely empty-handed (unless Wayne Ellington knocks your socks off). Yes, this week's big blunder was probably the biggest of recent memory. With Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving headed to Brooklyn while leaving the Knicks in the dust, let's take quick stock of some of the most embarrassing moments in the team's recent history, limiting our scope to just the last five years so as not to take up your entire work week: Whiffing on KD and Kyrie
are fully entrenched in efforts to explain why they were above giving max money to arguably the best player in all of basketball. Not only did James Dolan's boys finish a league-worst 17-65 this past season - tying a franchise low set just four years earlier - but their plan to land at least one of this summer's big-name free agents has completely and utterly failed. The New York Knicks are the laughingstock of the NBA.
