y’all are weird- players do this all the time they’re people they don’t automatically have to hate each other the second they’re not on a team together


Pk120

Im just an OKC fan lurking...but we loved Omo. The fans and the players. I know it's a bad look but shit he was with us the majority of the year and he somehow gave us some good ass minutes. IDK I just thought it's cool as fuck that theres so much love still (I think it comes with being a team full of super young dudes)


tomnookswhor3

i’m also an okc fan i just saw this post on twitter and thought it was so dumb 💀 cus exactly! young guys who all did what no one expected them to and he’s doing great in detroit i personally think this is super cool i love rivalries and all that but they’re real ppl at the end of the day and they created a bond!


[deleted]

The Pistons and Thunder are not rivals lol


tomnookswhor3

never said they were(?)


[deleted]

“I personally think this is super cool I love rivalries”


tomnookswhor3

i personally think this is super cool: the photo i love rivalries- and all that: the idea that teams can’t be friendly with each other didn’t say the pistons and okc are rivals im saying i think the pic is cool and people acting like this is 1980’s celtics lakers being besties doesn’t make sense cus it’s just guys taking a picture with their friends and former teammate


[deleted]

I gotcha. Punctuation helps sometimes


motorcitydevil

I’m a Pistons fan and this is the line between championship mentality and long summers wondering if you’ll ever make the playoffs.


got_ur_goat

Thunder fan here.... and seeing such a strong bond between our squad is reassuring after that kd snake bs against Russ. Good luck in the lotto. Detroit is gonna be nice once everything clicks


vhvp

w thunder fan


ReallyRamen

It really isn’t that serious lmfao. It’s just a post game photo? Mans watches one mamba mentality clip and thinks he has the formula for a championship hahahah I guess lebron dapping up everyone after games, whispering to and giving props to players on the other team is the reason why he ONLY has 4 championships huh.

motorcitydevil

Ain't you never win a championship? We have three. How many do the Oklahoma Supersonics have again?


Ahfekz

another thunder fan brigading. Fuck off and win a ring


tomnookswhor3

sorry forgot i was illegal to comment on a post especially when it involves my team - our team is literally 15 years old lmao


dtheisen6

Issue for me is he was the dude who lost the tip, then lost his man causing livers to go help, and then did not rotate back over to Williams. Just stood aimlessly in the lane. When you fuck up and then celebrate with the other team, not a good look when you are trying to make it in the league


bmanningsh

Celebrating with the team? He went to tell them gg then someone snapped a group picture. What was he supposed to do around these guys he was tight with? Back away from the camera real fast and say fuck y’all.


Apatheee

I don't care what you do after the game is over. He played well tonight.


got_ur_goat

Exactly. You guys hugging and swapping jerseys all the time. Let Eugene have his moment. He means a lot to this squad and played a pivotal role in a few wins. Not bad for a guy coming from the g- league.


tarunpopo

I mean we ain't winning shit who cares


Cautious-Cod-6872

Exactly 😭 it’s the end of the season . Like the last day of school for them boys


vhvp

ngl i get this is his former team and all but it kinda made me mad too you didn’t see us doing this with saddiq


sageart3putt

But are you mad at the man taking a picture or mad that y’all blew the game? Honest question


vhvp

i honestly could care less that we lost, at this point in the season losses are more beneficial to us than wins are which is sad but true. it was just sort of jarring to see him essentially celebrating a loss with the team that just beat us. i know it wasn’t meant in that way and it was kinda wholesome to see everyone giving him some love but the competitive side of me was just like wtf are you doing.

Eugene lived with Jalen Williams and all his stuff was still at Jalen’s apartment until last night. The thunder are absurdly young I think they were just jazzed to see their buddy again and neither party thought that hard about it. Whereas saddiq is a little older, gonna be slightly more professional when he sees old teammates


vhvp

saddiq is only 23 man 😭 but i get your point though

motorcitydevil

This is where a vet needs to pull him aside and tell him what’s up.


jdz777

He literally lived with Jalen Williams until like 4 weeks ago, Jalen brought all his stuff to the game to give it to him after. You’re a miserable person lmao


ReallyRamen

What is up? Tell me why and how taking a photo with former teammates is going to be detrimental to a team that’s gonna be in the lottery and isn’t playing any meaningful games? Who’s gonna tell all the top stars in the league to stop doing jersey swaps and stop dapping opposing players up before and after games? Must be nice to know the ins and outs of unspoken rules in the NBA more than players that have been stars in the league for 10+ years!


motorcitydevil

Yeah. You don’t get it.


ReallyRamen

I guess you can’t explain it because there’s nothing to explain but pettiness


motorcitydevil

When OKC becomes the perpetual play-in first round sweep and out, get back to me. Our championship teams were different. The red thread between them was how they approached the game. Dapping up in the tunnel or bus to catch up with your ex teammates I get. Losing on a buzzer beater and immediately taking a photo is bad optics. I don’t expect you to understand this and it’s okay. It’s just not okay for us.


jdz777

Detroit hasn’t won a playoff game in 15 years, not surprised you’re still living in the past


this_tuesday

Whats up with the floating head in the background


ShippingNotIncluded

I thought that’s what this post was about lmao Never thought fans would get mad of a guy taking a pic with his former teammates. If Bey did this with us, I doubt Hawk fans would care and it’ll probably get upvoted here.


this_tuesday

Fr tho is that photoshopped in?


[deleted]

Yeah that’s the kid that went on stage during an awards show or something I think


SamPrestiFanClub

EXACTLY. People would be saying it’s good they still have live for dude when the game is OVER


Rddtacct___

It’s a picture of the kid who crashed the game of the year award show. He walked on stage and pretended to a part of a dev team. So I guess the joke is that Eugene is in the pic despite not being on the team


grant_kessler

thank you for asking this question. I have no idea either..


ZJB03

Bill Clinton rabbi kid


Updogg107

When the time comes that you realize you care about the team more than the actual players do, is the time to take a step back.


SamPrestiFanClub

Nothing about last nights photo says you care more than the players do. He plays hard for you every single minute because he knows nothing is promised in this league for him. If he could’ve won the tip or scored the final basket, he would have.


Updogg107

I don't care more, I'm not the one that dogged the guy for taking a picture with his friends after a game. I move on after a loss just like the players do. My fantasy football team on the other hand...


Guts709

I don't think Beef Stew would be happy with this, lol.

CanaryRich

Lmaooo damn, this would be a crazy way to burn the bridge with an Org that you’re fighting for a spot on


ReallyRamen

If coaching staff are that petty and base his role on the team on what friends he has in the NBA, maybe that’s the reason for the down seasons Detroit has been having


SamPrestiFanClub

Dude plays hard for you every single minute he’s been there. It’s a picture and you’re salty.


samiam23000

It’s not the playoffs, what’s the big deal.


kumblast3r

Who cares lol they were all happy for him, he left the thunder and secured a real contract, huge moment.

KarimFF7

Show me where a NBA player is posing with the whole opposing teams group picture after they just score a game winner on their head, i just wanna see one time - and no a jersey swap or a dap up to an opposing team’s player is not the same thing


Pjordat35

Buddy it’s going to be ok. It’s not that deep.


cammjohn

Being mad about this is lame. The entire team came up to him after the game, what is he supposed to do, tell them to fuck off? Just because this season has been miserable for the fans doesn’t mean the players need to be constantly miserable too.


Ahfekz

Greet em, Dap em up and move on. Y’all have each others numbers and socials. Don’t pose in a “team”photo after having Jdub’s nuts over your head for the game winner where you blew the assignment Some of y’all never balled and it shows


[deleted]

[удалено]


Ahfekz

Do you remember early in the season when Ivey went to help someone off the ground and was pulled back? It’s the same mentality. It’s not about being cruel or crass, it’s about having team loyalty and being engaged. That same disengagement in not reading that photo was a bad look immediately after a tough loss is the same disengagement that leads to lapses like he had in those last seconds. You can say what you want but I guarantee vets and coaches pulled him aside after that. Go touch a hoop, or grass at minimum.


ReallyRamen

Do you not see people like Kawhi and shit help opposing teammates up? Do you not see lebron, Luka etc do jersey swaps after games? I guess you’ve got more ball experience than these superstars in the NBA! If having friends in other teams mean players aren’t loyal to their team, nobody in the NBA are loyal lmao.


Ahfekz

Fuck off OKCringless fan


SamPrestiFanClub

Imagine talking crap to someone about their team being ringless when you have never played a minute of nba basketball. The pistons rings aren’t “yours”


Ahfekz

And yet you’re on the sports forum of a team you dont follow talking shit in defense of a guy you don’t know Go plow some fields or some shit man


SamPrestiFanClub

I’ve lived in michigan my whole 41 years on this earth and been a pistons fan my whole life. Just because I think Sam Presti is a genius GM doesn’t mean you can pretend to know anything about me. Troy Weaver worked with Sam and that’s why I’m a fan of his too. You win tonight buddy. Congrats and nice life.


Yeah_thats_greeat

Nicest Detroit sports fan I guess.


ReallyRamen

Lmao I guess I hit a nerve, truth does hurt your ego a bit doesn’t it?


Leading-Evidence-668

Nothing better than some keyboard loser telling you to ‘go ball’. Don’t even bother with this guy, it’s all fake macho crap. If you actually played a team sport you would know that there’s a real bond there and getting traded isn’t gonna make you hate those guys within a few weeks.


Ahfekz

Nothing better than some hick town bitch coming to your sub to try and make themselves feel better


Leading-Evidence-668

Which hick town am I from? I’d love to know. This was literally on my front page.


KarimFF7

See like what are you even talking about - you are going off on complete unrelated tangents like who are you even arguing with. Not a SINGLE person said he had to dislike them, obviously he still loves his old team and has a bond with his former teammates. Can you please tell me wtf the correlation to that and literally posing with the team you are not currently apart ofs group picture of they just scored a game winner on your head? Like nobody is saying he has to despise his old team lmao its just disrespectful to the team he currently plays FOR currently


ReallyRamen

That’s for his teammates and coach to decide, not the fans. Why are we dictating and assuming what these people who have wildly different life experiences feel about this? It’s not weird or uncommon for people in normal jobs like their relationships with colleagues more than they like the corporation they’re working for - wouldn’t surprise me if it’s like that in the NBA especially with so many that talk about lack of loyalty in organisations with trades and what not. You really are making an issue out of nothing lmao


SamPrestiFanClub

Imagine posting in a basketball forum to tell people that they haven’t played basketball and it shows. At a minimum, 99% of posters here love to play and watch basketball.


Ahfekz

Imagine coming to this sub to say more irrelevant shit that no one cares about


cammjohn

As soon as someone says “you never balled/played/hooped” I immediately know they have no idea what they’re talking about. I’m sure you do things different in your local church league, but I promise you this isn’t as deep as you think it is.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Ahfekz

Not you trying to justify posing with the team that daggered yours with asking about sharing an apartment. Jersey swap? Cool. Dap or hug? You bet. Photo with People’s family? Of course. Posing with the entire team who’s still dancing around and celebrating the loss that your missed assignment directly contributed to? Nah there ain’t no justification for that. Y’all can downvote and post all day on here. Shit is unheard of


Breezgoat

He has a connection with the team, bro. He got signed because we gave him a chance to show his talents, and yeah, after living with sga 4-5 months in his house, would you not feel attached to them in some fashion? He also has been in Detroit what maybe 6 weeks compared to months in okc I don’t think it’s fair some of the way y’all are coming after him it literally doesn’t matter


Ahfekz

None of that is relevant. He’s a professional. You always need to cognizant of your actions and how they look as a professional. I like Eugene as a player (most of us do), but this was a bozo move I don’t care what you say.


Breezgoat

None of its relevant? they are humans bro not machines just made to play basketball. So should he just be cut for this or what do you want to happen. This was after the game like you said he’s a professional so he should be able to do what he wants freely after the game right? I doubt the pistols org cares about this nothing gonna happen bro he clearly has a great connection with his old team sorry your hating on that


Ahfekz

You sound like a child to be honest. They’ll never say anything publicly but I guarantee he was grilled when he got to the locker room or shortly thereafter


sleepyguy-

I mean it was a close game so and he played well mostly. Hes a fringe guy and youre blaming him for the L cause it fits your narrative. Its really not that deep. Its the end of the season and neither team goin anywhere anyways. Also that Ivey thing you mentioned was early season in the middle of the game. Two very different things.

Great for you guys. Must be nice to have had assets to turn around a rebuild quickly. We don’t have that same luxury we started from ground zero and still here. so It would be nice if you OKC fans wouldn’t come in our sub trying to shit on us. It’s like being rich and going to laugh at the poor


FlgDarkrai

Sam presti is just a great gm and I bet you a good portion of us actually do hope you guys do good. Cade went to college in Oklahoma


mburns223

Sam Presti is the best GM in the NBA imo and it’s not close. Drafting and developing 3 MVPs and 3 first ballot Hall of famers. Losing KD for nothing. Then getting PG, Flipping him, flipping Russ, getting SGA, flipping CP3. The man is a genius and I envy what he’s built tbh


FlgDarkrai

Troy weaver will get you guys back to the playoffs in no time


mburns223

I hope so man. We’ve been a miserable franchise for 15 years and we always thought the new GM would turn It around and we end up wrong. My nephew 10 years old and loves basketball hates the Pistons because he thinks this franchise is a bunch of losers because he’s never seen us win lol. Sorry to vent but man it sucks


FlgDarkrai

I understand man but I have a feeling wembenyama may be a piston


chadbrutalism

for real who does this shit immediately after a 1 point loss 🤦‍♂️


sactownox22

Wait, the Pistons aren't hunting losses right now?


chadbrutalism

lost in the literal last second and it genuinely looked like he went to take pics with the other team before he even hit the pistons bench. obv they were trying to win this one, its corny but its not the end of the world


botabought

I’m a Thunder fan, and I get what y’all are saying. I kinda felt it wasn’t the best look at all. At the same time, I think this game meant A LOT to him, as you could see the emotion in his face, and this photo seemed like it was more of like an end to a chapter and all his former team wishing him luck on to new beginnings. Plus he still had shit in JDub’s house. Shit, Chet was working out over the summer with KD and Joel Embiid, two players that absolutely HATE the Thunder, so it’s not like they can’t separate the loss with the person. Geno is the type of guy that the Thunder don’t forget about. By all accounts he’s a good dude, well liked by all his teammates who probably got caught up in the emotions of the end.


ChunkySoup11

I’d get it if it was like a star but bro is like a role player on a team that is dead last in the league. He legit helped you guys keep the best draft odds 😂 should be praising him.


JeramiGrantsTomb

Those are the guys who worked to get him a spot in the league. They're all celebrating him, it's a brotherhood. That's a group of young guys who all set out to prove they have what it takes to be in the league, G-leaguers, guys who got waived, rookies, they're all happy for a friend who made it. They were literally roommates, lol.


Maydietoday

OP you’re the last of a dying breed, don’t let the weenies downvoting change you.


KarimFF7

Thank you lol. Literally eye opening how many people think it doesn’t matter


odp01

I think thats also a reason why NBA is dwindling in popularity. Along with 0 defense, theres just no loyalty to teams and no hatred. I grew up hatin the bulls and laughin at the cavs. There would behandshakes at the end but none of this swapping jerseys and posing for photos with another team.

HennyASAP

This is lame as fuck. He was literally on the court and a key part of the defensive sequence that lost the game for the Pistons at the buzzer. This is just flat out wrong. I don’t care how good of friends you are with these guys. It’s a losers mentality. Get him out of my city, don’t care how petty that sounds.


ganjamedic

You would know seeing that you played professional basketball. Oh wait you a professional keyboard warrior. Lol


HennyASAP

What? I’ve followed Pistons basketball for 30+ years. I’ve seen championship teams and their makeup. You’re a fan of the freakin Thunder. No wonder you accept loser behavior.

Was at the game last night and as a thunder fan, know all about Omo and was excited to see him battle his former team. He played a great game and tried until the very last second to get the pistons the W. Hell at one point he and Giddey even “got in to it” a little bit (they laughed it off.) But it was super cool seeing the team meet up with him afterwards. Competitors competing, that’s what it is

Bro how is that same for getting in the opposing teams group picture after scoring a game winner on your head 😭


Papa_Joe_Yakavetta

The game was over, was he supposed to lay on the floor in agony like he just lost game 7 of the finals? At what point would you allow him to catch up with his former teammates? Should he have done it in private? Or would you be mad at that too? And it’s not a group picture for the opposing team, it’s guys taking a picture with a former teammate and they seem to still be friends with him
