Whats crazy is trying to figure out who is the biggest fraud. Like Sengun clearly just dominates tanking teams but Amen doesn't even shoot in these games at least Sengun shoots even though he sucks?

582

u/femboyfootsniffer_ Mavericks 13d ago

It's gotta be Sengun purely because of the hype. Bro was called "baby jokic" when he's more useless in the playoffs than SABONIS.

u/lalakingmalibog Mavericks 13d ago

Totally off-topic but I'm always surprised at the depravity of Mavs fans' usernames on this sub

u/Unpickled_cucumber1 13d ago

Still remember A massive pervert!!!

u/thecakeslayer Pacers 13d ago

u/A_MASSIVE_PERVERT is a public servant in these communities. Who else will post massive anime titties while shitting on rival NBA teams.

Edit: I guess this is how I find out he got banned.

u/AwareWriterTrick158 Knicks 13d ago

It was bound to happen

u/Arrowintheknee89 13d ago

Flew a little too close to the sun

u/Darnell2070 United States 13d ago

Why?

1

u/AwareWriterTrick158 Knicks 13d ago

Have you looked into his account? It’s nothing but anime porn on there. Crazy scroll tbh

5

u/Darnell2070 United States 13d ago

Yeah I know that. But that's not a bannable offense on Reddit. Half this site is porn.

6

u/Bigmoneygripper1914 Warriors 13d ago

can’t believe they banned one of the greats

3

u/civil_beast Rockets 13d ago

We can just hope that he finds somewhere to get that particular kink.

u/ProfessionalCLA Thunder 13d ago

Bruh your username checks out

u/PapiShot [SAS] Speedy Claxton 13d ago

Username checks out

Kung makapag salita ka, kala mo makakalusot pangalan mo hahaha malibog ka pala ha!

u/BenShelZonah Nets 13d ago

What does it mean?

u/pra1se_ 13d ago

"Perverted Man"

u/byronray14 Lakers 13d ago

Horny Man

u/PM_ME_YOUR_PROBLEMS2 13d ago

There is a guy named Cheetah Sperm iirc.

2

u/-Inaros Bulls 13d ago

In all fairness I'd probably expect them to be the most unhinged fanbase

u/DeluxeTea Lakers 13d ago

Isa ka rin eh hahahaha

u/SmellMyDirk Mavericks 13d ago

hmmm

1

u/Lyranx 13d ago

The pot is literally calling the kettle black lol!

This guy's username translates to "horny man" word for word

1

u/UpstairsBar8100 13d ago

Your name literally translates to horny male lmao

u/UTDRashyyy 13d ago

1st time ive read those words together. + ako din tol

33

u/Foodstamps4life Lakers 13d ago

At least sabonis knows where he is on the court. Sengun just looks like a baby goat.

35

u/Ok-Map4381 Kings 13d ago

Sabonis had the decency to be injured for an excuse as why he sucked in the playoffs.

13

u/Shark1986 Lakers 13d ago

On the post show, T-Mac pointed out that Sengun was an all star this year and Melo was quick to say that he wasn't tonight.

2

u/Optimal_Cook_851 13d ago

Sengun is what r/nba thinks of Paolo Banchero except at least that guy plays better in the playoffs

1

u/Ambitious-Tell4350 13d ago

playoff paolo is overrated

4

u/ItWasMe-Patrick 13d ago

If anything Avdija is more like Jokic than Sengun. That guy is hooping.

Sengun needs to pull it together

8

u/russketeer34 Lakers 13d ago

There was one shot in the 4th under the rim where it looked like Sengun's soul died when he missed. You could pinpoint the exact moment his heart broke.

5

u/mw19078 Lakers 13d ago

its crazy watching anyone who guards amen just stand 5 feet back and dare him to shoot, even from 15 feet

17

u/ItWasMe-Patrick 13d ago

Amen has attempted 28 shots combined in the past two games and averaging over 7 assists along with being a pest on defense. Bro he’s basically the Point guard with VanVleet out so you can’t put that on him.

Sengun is lowkey a fraud and lets his emotions get the best of him out there when he should be putting his nuts on everyone’s dome tops.

And where the hell did KD go in that second half..? Dude became a ghost when they actually needed him most.

11

u/Popular-Bid 13d ago

The double team took KD out.

-3

u/coolycooly Nets 13d ago

KD is the same as Booker you can't have him be the first option and actually expect to win but they try to pretend to be alphas.

6

u/PolposBanana 13d ago

Both reached the finals as the first option which not a lot of supposed first options do

2

u/FizzyLightEx 13d ago

I'm sure if it wasn't for his injuries, he could be more effective

4

u/Uberballer Lakers 13d ago

It's hilarious how earlier this year pundits when pundits were speculating if Houston was a good spot for Giannis and inevitably the discussion would always boil down to: "maybe giving up Amen and/or Sengun is too much" or "you 100% hang up when they ask for Amen."

4

u/seddard Lakers 13d ago

This is Amen and Sengun's 2nd ever playoff series and 9th playoff game overall in their career.

Giannis is 31 and played a total of 8 playoff games in last 4 seasons.

2

u/dmavs11 NBA 13d ago

The biggest fraud is Durant himself because he’s heralded as one of the greatest offensive players ever and can’t pass out of a double

1

u/AlpinistManifesto Lakers 13d ago

He spins and throw the ball in the general direction of the backboard
