Some Context for the moments you were confused about 1:18 - Lebron didnt pick up the ball because the shot clock doesnt run until the ball is touched, but he waited too long and eventually fumbled it out of bounds. 2:10 - Cousins dribbles the ball up the court and goes for the pass to Davis, at the last moment he notices the pass isnt open. But he has picked the ball up and will travel if he doesnt throw a pass. He then throws a terrible pass because of it. 2:40 - You got the gist of the play for the most part. Some players will take deep 3s, and everyone airballs eventually. But Valentine was not the caliber of player to take a deep 3 in a clutch moment of the game. So not only did he airball it was horrific shot selection. 5:55 - Javale McGee is known for some of his gaffs in his career. And in this case he isnt aware that his team has the ball on offense, so he sprints back to play defense while his team still has the ball. 6:10 - The Knicks have the ball up in the game with less than a shot clock worth of game time. You basically never shoot in this case, because the other team is forced to foul you to get the ball back. Free throws are always better than attempting a open 3. 7:15 - This one is strange, but the thought process is Tucker (the one who avoided the ball) didnt want to be the one intentional fouled, because he didnt want to shoot the free throws. He was waiting for one of teammates to grab the ball so they could shoot the free throws instead. He obviously waits too long and the inbound gets stolen. 7:46 - Jr Smith gives his former teammate and friend a hug in the middle of the game, and in the process gives up a wideopen dunk. 10:40 - This might be the biggest gaffe in NBA history. JR Smith (the same guy in the previous explanation) grabs a offensive rebound in a tied game with seconds left. This is during the NBA Finals against the dynasty Golden State Warriors. Obviously in a tied game you would want to try and score the game winning basket. JR Smith thought they were already up though, and decided to try and run away from an intentional foul (which isnt going to happen because it is a tied game). This uses up all the clock in the game and sends it to overtime. The Cavs would end up losing in overtime and this was the first loss of 4 consecutive to get swept in the NBA Finals. Thats all. Hope I provided some of the context to fully understand the clips.
Regarding that McGee one, I'd rather have a teammate do that than not run back when we actually don't have the ball... and as for the last one, what's funny here is European teams actually will foul in a tie game to make you shoot free throws so they can try to win it with a 2 if you miss or a 3 if you make both.
The one where the player let the ball roll is pretty common in basketball because the clock won't start running until someone touches the ball. You see this a lot at the end of close games to save time.
@@jchamberlain999no… the game clock doesn’t start til the ball is touched… it would be idiotic to let the ball just roll if the game clock was going haha. You see it all the time in late game situations.
1:11 - To clarify this play, 1) that's LeBron, 2) he's "trying" to do something you see a lot with teams who are trailing late. The clock stops on a made basket or out-of-bounds. The clock doesn't start again until a player throws the ball from the location they're supposed to inbound the ball then then another player touches the ball. So, if the defense lets them, the offense will let the ball roll until they have to pick it up to save time on the clock. Here, he just gets a little too cheeky and lets it roll to the point where the defender can contest and I think he knocks it out of bounds, based on the ref's signal at least. 3:33 - My guess is they messed with the audio so it wouldn't get blocked or claimed. 5:50 - At least he was hustling back trying to play defense. Just didn't realize that his team still had the ball. 🤣 6:03 - UP 2! They were UP 2 with 11 to go. They HAD to shoot the first shot because the shot clock was running down but then the shot clock was off when they got the rebound and he should have held the ball waiting for them to foul him. Shooters gonna shoot I guess but that was a SUPER boneheaded play. At least the next play they NEEDED to shoot but that one he had MUCH more time to set up a better shot. 7:10 - My guess for first place for ejections would be Rasheed Wallace (Google says yes). Different Wallace than the one that was fouled by Ron Artest to kick off the Malice at the Palace (that was Ben Wallace) but he was on the Pistons too and did run into the stands to help break up the fight. Sheed, and Draymond for that matter, would be good ones to do videos on. 7:32 - I don't know WHY he was thinking this but he probably thought that number 10 hadn't properly inbounded the ball and the rules can get a little finicky around inbounding so he didn't ant to mess it up but the fact is, the ball WAS inbounded perfectly legally and normally and, in fact, the only person that COULDN'T touch the ball there was number 10. 10:28 - Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh JR Smith. Poor poor JR Smith. Guy was even known for boneheaded plays before this but this took the cake and his career was never the same after. A key component of those Cavs teams that met the Warriors in 4 straight NBA Finals from 2015 to 2018 with the Cavs winning the one in 2016, he just thought they were winning and needed to run out the clock like the guy before SHOULD have done. Now, they still might not have made the shot and they still got swept so it probably wouldn't have mattered in the long run but man oh man was this one bad.
The play at 1:28 with Lebron is called "walking the dog" the clock doesnt start until you touch the ball, this way you can shave off a few seconds having to bring the ball up.
@@DNReacts It can be done to also burn time as time doesnt stop during the middle of the game. It's only at the last 2 minutes I believe it doesnt start until someone touches it.
6:15 it's worse... he was UP by two with 11 seconds left. The other team was losing and by him missing the shot he gave them a chance to go down and tie or win. If he holds onto the ball, they have to foul and give him free throws if they want to regain possession before time runs out.
Rasheed Wallace has the most ejections in NBA history. This is partly because he would get technical fouls constantly, and 2 in one game is an automatic ejection. He had 41 technical fouls in one season, one every 2 games, but probably because of him the NBA changed the rules and now you start getting suspended games if you get technical fouls past a certain amount.
They had that rule in place when Rasheed played. I remember he ended up getting suspended a game in the playoffs with the Pistons for having so many technicals
5:16 and 5:30 and 5:55 - 3 entries from the all-time Shaqtin a Fool KING Javale McGee! You may remember him from the 50-point Dunk Contest video where he dunked on two hoops at once. He was probably capable of dunking from the free throw line, but trying it in a game is wild 9:04 and 9:40 - the man getting destroyed on the dunk and the man blowing the wide-open game-winning layup are both Brandon Knight. Sadly these are probably the 2 most famous plays of his career.
at 9:20 I'm not sure but I think the blooper is not only did the defender land on his back, but the ball, after going through the hoop, may have hit him in the face.
This play also created a meme about DeAndre Jordan (the dunker) murdering Brandon Knight's career with that one play, which is likely why it was included. It's one of the most vicious, demoralizing posterizations ever.
At 10:20 throwing the ball straight up is a great way to run the last 2-3 seconds off the clock but you have to know that there isn't more time than that!
4:56 That’s your reigning British Basketball League MVP Sam Dekker! I promise he’s usually a much better player than that but unfortunately it is his most well-known NBA play.
6:10 No, he is UP 2 points with 12 seconds. There is no need to shoot the ball at all. Force the other team to foul because they need to stop the clock.
On the last one, jr smith grabbed an offensive rebound with 5 seconds left and thought they were winning, when in reality they were tied. That’s bad enough on its own but the fact that this was in game 1 of the NBA FINALS makes this 10x worse
The Last One was for me because that was the Finals after the Cavs came back and beat the Warriors and in Game 1 J.R. just wasn't in the right mind for score and time.
At 2:08 he was about to pass to his teammate but he went away so he had to let go of the ball otherwise it would’ve been called a travel but he turned it over anyway and got dunked on
The Draymond disrespect is outta control, it has reached overseas😂 You can’t mention the Warriors dynasty and the greatness of Steph Curry without him.
On the last one, JR (the guy how got the rebound) just forgot he was losing?!?! no one really knows what he was thinking for sure, but Lebron put up 40 that game against the UN-arguably best constructed roster of all-time (the Warriors added KD to a 73-win team!!!) and the Cavs lost game 1 of the finals b/c JR forgot to shoot (or pass) after grabbing the rebound 🤯
The 96 Bulls would sweep that team and margin over 20 a game. Gimmie a break. Besides the better talent and defense at every position matchup, every matchup would be a little guy getting shut down by someone bigger stronger, more physical. Jordan, Pippen, Harper would hold Steph, Durant, Clay each to maybe 10-14 pts every game and steph might only get pts from free throws. Front court matchups like... 6'9 Rodman, 6'10 Kukoc, 7'2 Longly =vs= 6'6 Draymon, 6'6 igudala, 6'10 Zaza? LMAO.
@@CrazyhorrseWell in alternate history, maybe the players would have been taught to play differently if it was a different time. That’s how that works lol
Draymond is a pivotal reason the Warriors won their championships. You should do a lil more research before demeaning him… And I bet Rasheed Wallace has the most ejections. Check out his career highlights…
I mean if he’s only started following bball this season you can surely understand why. Green hasn’t exactly had the best press lately. Y’all be acting like they should be able to deep dive everything 😂 If he’d questioned Green’s ability I’d have agreed with ya, but he didn’t

And Lebron suffered a bone contusion in his shooting hand from punching a white board after the JR Smith game
This is awesome. Thank you so much for the context 🙏 Really appreciate it!
And Brandon Knight also in this video was a walking gaffe

Jordan Poole did it with 4 minutes left in the fourth and ended up on shaqtinafool 😂
@@abducteeofearth1703it’s cuz it’s after a certain time, I believe it’s under 2 minutes you can roll the ball without the clock running
We will never ever know what PJ Tucker was thinking
2:31 Denzel Valentine was a benchwarmer who didn’t stay in the league long and was a bad 3-point shooter

NBA players does occasionally airball a shot but if your wide open and you didnt even hit the rim now that is meme material
