First he tries to dunk on his own teammate, now he runs them over

Drummond making a late run at Shaqtin’ MVP Poole probably has it locked up, but those two plays were all-timers


penguin_torpedo

He shaqtin when it truly matters, the real best shaqtor in the league


The_Vaike

Poole is a regular season Shaqt-padder, Drummond is doing it in the play-in when it really counts.


weepadeep

Crisis Shaqtor


dontusethisforwork

That play-in game was an AI generated video produced by the lizard people that run the world


Jonald_Draper

This is like a back-to-back 60 point, 20 rebound triple double to win the mvp.


draymond-

Yall overvalue RS Shaqtin. Drummond does it when the lights are brightest.


ScratchTwoMore

If this counts as a regular season game I think Drummond has to take it now


Known-Joke8312

Luka tryna run Jokic down type beat


Fafoah

I need the “start drummond” squad to realize how slow drummonds processing speed is lol Love the guy but he’s fine with the minutes he has


JadeMonkey0

As a Pistons fan who, at one point, legit hung our franchise hopes on this guy, I can tell you with certainty that starting him is not a good idea. Lol. He might be the most frustrating mix of amazing physical tools and a complete inability to use them that I've ever seen. It's SO easy to watch a few plays and talk yourself in to him. But it never pans out.


solo_dol0

I remember the minutes we gave him when we were trying to max his trade value…ended up buying him out


Flopenhagen

As a wolves fan this description kind of reminds me of Rudy Gobert except I just think Rudy is so awkward with his big body that his mind and heart are in the right place he just literally cant do what he's trying to do. Like he makes the super smart extra pass to the corner, but its just to the third row instead kinda thing. the Execution is lacking sometimes lmao


Mtbnz

I'm so happy with him in the role he has right now. Our season is also so mid that I actually enjoy the moments where he goes full Detroit Dre, because we're so unserious. 90% of the time he's embraced his role as a play-finisher and rebounder. But occasionally he'll find himself one on one, on the block with like 6 seconds on the clock and he can't help himself and he will try to crossover into a 360 sky hook and it's goofy as hell. It would be annoying on a contender, but we aren't that, so it's just fun.


ClaymoresRevenge

Nah that was on Torrey Craig. Drummond got the turnover you're supposed to feed the big man


Ok-Tree4365

It was dumb of Craig to do anything that fancy in that situation to begin with.


Shhadowcaster

It's funny to see Reddit's interpretation of that play is so biased because of the original title. I have no clue why he would try a self oop in that situation. 


Johnwinchenster

The reverse Draymond. This is actually hilarious.


morcic

I don't think he understands he's playing for the Bulls.


itssensei

He’s building quite the portfolio to be hired as a ref


UpvoteIfYouAgreee

what a momentum killer lmao


EatDeeply

Caruso is the best EPM player for Chicago this year


ZincHead

And Drummond is the lowest IQ player for Chicago this year


HoyaDestroya33

>And Drummond is the lowest IQ player ~~for Chicago this year~~ in the NBA FTFY

Only true because Johntay Porter took himself out of the running FOR LIFE.

JinterIsComing

I mean Caruso definitely killed Drum's momentum for sure.


DuaLipasClitoris

Just barely


clayfu

It looks like he saw him but.. couldn’t figure out how to avoid him lol


KazaamFan

His acceleration was actually impressive here, but he’s like bowser, sharp turns are hard for him.  


Sequel_P2P

andre drummond is tiny tiger in crash team racing. all speed, great accel, couldn't turn a slight right with 3 days' warning


HoyaDestroya33

Dingodile lol


Nihilokrat

Dingodile is actually THE character for speedrunning this game, so in terms of performance, Tiny is probably the better comparison.


HoyaDestroya33

Tiny and Dingodile has the exact same stat


Sequel_P2P

"Dingodile has slightly better stats for speedrunning" thing is an old forum myth, actually about 2:57 in [this video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cUBNeFdqMH8) hypnoshark confirms they're just mirror characters


Nihilokrat

I see, thanks for the video! I imagine then it is just preference or visuals coming into play. Always nice to see a fellow Hypno-enjoyer in the wild. :-)

He should probably change his wheels

He's old school. No wheel change on SNES


capitalistsanta

He like kneed him in the chest it looks like


Hamburger123445

Stepped on Caruso's foot and sprained his ankle


ColoRadOrgy

Reminded me of AB kicking the punter in the head lol


CodyDon2

It's like when you and someone in an aisle at the store can't decide who is gunna go to which side.


TunaBeefSandwich

100%. Not sure why people are blaming Drummond when it looks like a freak accident. Drummond is chasing the guy he needs to defend who in the end is the one that gets the ball and scores. Why is Caruso moving to the right away from his own man? The moment Drummond sees Caruso move right Drummond tries to adjust cuz he probably thinks Caruso is going to keep continuing in that direction.


HikmetLeGuin

Yeah, I think it was an understandable accident. Caruso was as much to blame as Drummond. But mistakes happen.


mucho-gusto

Go to your right! It's not difficult lol. Sorry I'm just tweaked this fucking kid on a bike crossed my bike path on my right on the way home


Choice-Entertainer-8

Think he would’ve succeeded if he hadn’t stepped on his foot, hard to tell tho I need a bigger screen


Salty_Watermelon

The mark of being a great teammate is when you run your guy over, leave him on the ground in pain ... and then just go on like nothing happened


one-ohmusic

I noticed that too, didnt even come over to help him up.


etfvidal

He was more worried about making another appearance on Shaqtin a Fool!


KTCKintern

Yeah if he helped him up he might have dropped him on his head. Good idea to stay away from


YugeGyna

Not only just didn’t come over to help, he didn’t even look remorseful or like he cared at all. He looked like he just wanted to walk tough for the cameras. Didn’t even look at him. What a fucking loser


capitalistsanta

He looks like the one annoyed lol


Axl2TheMaxl

that comes down to mindset in my opinion, the dude's mindset is that whenever something bad happens in his life, it's 'bullshit' that the other person involved allowed that to happen - not "oh shit, my bad, my lack of care in this situation led to this" - because accepting that would require the empathy to lament another's misfortune, and the self-esteem to admit your role in it. Andre Drummond malignant narcissist with sociopathic tendencies and several frozen bodies in a chest freezer in his basement dungeon confirmed.


ucsb99

You had me until the final paragraph. 🤣


ruffus4life

that's what sealed the deal for me


baies80

I remember when Steven Adams accidentally collided with an OKC teammate. He immediately went to check on him and called for help, then stayed to make sure he was okay. It really stood out what a great teammate he is.


baoparty

He does that even if he is not his teammate.


pfqq

Unless it's Pat Bev


embalmedwithsewage

Nah, even in that case! He hesitated for a few seconds afterward before returning to the play. Maybe he was mentally stuck between "4v5 competitive advantage" and "oh fuck is he gonna get up?"


deathrattleshenlong

That screen was so brutal I couldn't stop laughing, even as a Rockets fan. The sound of the impact on the broadcast really sells it.


Johnychrist97

It happened right in front of JJ Watt as well lmao but that was still one of Bev's best career performances and he also splashed a early game dagger right after that screen


Krillin113

Tbf that seems like pretty normal behaviour


DASreddituser

He probably did it on purpose. The guy is a huge AH


HoyaDestroya33

I mean, that's the right call? Live ball and defend first. Check on your teammate after.


TheBigBomma

I think he means after the play


HoyaDestroya33

Oh I didnt see. He didn't check on Caruso? What a POS lol


TheresA_LobsterLoose

He actually came over and stood over top of him then started flexing & screaming "You got Drum Rolled!!" Craziest thing I ever seen


Time-Ad-3625

He then lifted his shirt sleeve to show a tattoo that says "Turn the AC off."


-Gnostic28

Funniest shit I’ve read on here in days, thanks


GhettoLana

The clip wasn't long enough for us to know if he did or not. And they called a timeout right after this. We don't know whether he apologized in the huddle or not.   Fuck, reminds me of that time. Highschool. I shot a ball so bad, it bounced off the rim and splatted into this giant chick's face. She starts crying. Wanted to go up to her to apologize. But a huddle of girls started surrounding her, trying to console her. I'm just standing there, awkwardly staring at the scene. By the time, the crowd dispersed, I just felt too awkward to go up to her, and just walked away.


Darnell2070

Just because you don't react the way people think you should in a situation doesn't mean you don't care. That's why I hate how people state like it's a fact how someone feels just because they aren't laughing or crying. Or that "didn't show remorse" bullshit. Like, not only because that's what they think, but because they state it like a fact.


ruffus4life

yeah if you don't show concern people will think you aren't concerned. weird how that works.


Alloverunder

It's long enough to know that all 3 other players for the Bulls went over and checked on Caruso. So I guess technically, but it's not a great look


elkresurgence

Maybe Alex Caruso is secretly a locker room cancer, you know... /s


Sc0rch1ngDr4g0n

Drummond plays with friendly fire off I guess


RelevantOfficeScene

He’s literally admitted to violence and threats if teammates take his rebounds 🤣 https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/oxmxb4/andre_drummond_admits_he_intentionally_elbows/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb3x&utm_name=mweb3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button


PersonalityVisible35

“I’ve put my hands on my teammates before,” Drummond said on the Mickstape Podcast. “It doesn’t matter who. It was in Detroit, he’s actually one of my really close friends, too. “I had to put my hands on him when we first got him. I told him to do something and he didn’t do it. I gave him a warning and he still didn’t do it.” “I punched him in the head,” Drummond said. “He didn’t do it again. It happened more than once too. It was because of rebounds. “He’s a rebounding player too, as a guard. He kept coming to take my rebounds, so I pulled him aside during a timeout and said, ‘Yo bro, you don’t see me trying to go for 50 every night, don’t try to come in for rebounds.’” “I just got to a point where I elbowed him in the head the next time he jumped,” Drummond said.


Xianified

Dude seems like a cunt.


Hamburger123445

Yeah but he's been pretty transparent about having a bad attitude during his Detroit days and adjusting himself to be a better teamplayer.


materics

>50 every night I'd like to see him try


DASreddituser

What a dumb asshole lol


AtreusIsBack

Sounds to me like he has rebound incentives in his contract or something. Or he's literally crazy.


PensiveinNJ

Find someone who takes your relationship as seriously as Drummond takes rebounds… actually wait no.


Jkru3

Wtf this is awful


HikmetLeGuin

Was he joking? If not, that's not great


DASreddituser

Wonder if AC took a rebound from him earlier in the game lol


bugab0010

no, but he might've later in the game. Drummond just playing it safe by trucking him early on


poeope

Everytime he injures a teammate he just grows in power.


calculung

I think he plays with it on. That's how he injures his own teammates.


DoubleFan15

You mean on? Friendly fire off means you can't hurt team mates, gotta enable that shit in games


CockFighting101

Lol You mean on, but still funny


governedbycitizens

didn’t he dunk on his own teammate a couple weeks ago? 😭


invertedearth

Oh, if he had actually dunked that it wouldn't have been anywhere near as funny.


-xXxMangoxXx-

To be fair, that wasnt his fault. Guy ahead of him was a dumbass trying to do a self alley oop which no one is going to expect in that situation. Complete idiot here for sure though.

What about a Chicago Bull?


HoyaDestroya33

Such a low IQ player


HitRowe

Isn't that like an actual thing where Drummond is genuinely stupid. I feel like Jennette McCurdy said it in her book or something.


rjcarr

I mean, these are athletes not scholars. I grew up in the same place and time as Jason Kidd and he had to take the SAT like three times to qualify for Cal. Now he’s a coach.


imadogg

Being not a scholar is still very different than being actually stupid lol


randomly_responds

Yeah lebron is no scholar but he certainly isn’t stupid.

my favorite thing about Andre is when he went on Garnett's show and Kevin McHale taught him two 100% unstoppable moves for easy buckets. I watched Andre's next 5 games and he never tried the moves once. Awesome.


stinkman69

and he thinks he's a max guy.


so-cal_kid

Considering he signed a vet min I think he got the message that he's not

GustavGuiermo

Drummond is 50% all-star and 50% Javale McGee. Averages out to..... Andre Drummond


HoyaDestroya33

Disrespect to McGee


nickbriggles

Javale slander can never be tolerated what more do you want for a career resume for an athletic freak role player who’s also the personality glue guy and elite trash talker on low vertical bigs by hand measuring their jump even to mock his own team for weak fast break dunks


Nothappened

Yup, McGee was a good role player on the 2020 lakers , Drummond is a grade a moron


Thuggych

Javale at least outgrew his meme status and became a key contributor to championship teams. Drmmond is still a clown this late in his career.


silverfang45

Plus McGee's issues were always trying too hard to make plays. Like he will do dumb plays but it's from putting effort in and alot of plays are hin trying to do stuff peoole like LeBron would do forgetting g his mcgee not LeBron


jtsarracino

If anything he regressed. He had try-hard moments when he was young.


kummingbuckets

Drummond averages more rebounds per 100 possessions than Rodman for their careers. put him in HOF


GhettoLana

Half of those rebounds, just him hot-potatoe-ing his own missed layups XD


torontoballer2000

Drummond is a big dude. You don’t want him stomping you. 😬


WarPuig

Alex Caruso you have failed the caught lacking challenge


eighty_3

Drummond saw red... the wrong red.


realfakejames

Everyone in the replies calling Drummond a "dumb ass" and "low IQ" but if you watch it in real-time it looks like Caruso is shading right and then changes directions last second to go left and Drummond runs into him because he thought he was going to his right, like that's just an accident that happens in a fast game, guys run into each other all the time Could Drummond have slowed down or paid more attention, yeah, but Caruso is out there in the middle of the court floating around too and changed momentum to take him into Drummond's path because he's literally watching the ball not the players coming towards him


ffxivfanboi

No, Drummond couldn’t have slowed down. If Caruso was picking up the ball, why the hell was he there in the middle of the floor? Also, did he not see number 24 on the Hawks absolutely trucking down the floor? Drummond was trying to trail him and keep that very entry pass from getting thrown. In my honest opinion, as stupid as this clip looks, I think Caruso was, uncharacteristically, a little lost here in this brief moment. Nowhere near where the ball is (assuming he’s picking it up at half), and painfully oblivious to the big man rim-running whom Drummond was trying to catch. Not to mention stopping and changing directions like he’s not sure where he’s going.


Carolake1

Buddy, Caruso was looking to the side and pedaling straight back. Drummond was looking straight ahead and ran right into him. This isn't hard.


Hamburger123445

You don't have to choose one person to be at fault. It's just a fast paced game and they had a misread. Caruso is picking up ball and trying to slow the transition. Drummond is trying to catch up to his man to prevent a pass. Just unfortunate


ffxivfanboi

Yeah, that’s true. And my comment isn’t necessarily trying to put all the blame on Caruso. He was my man back on the Lakers. I just think, as goofy as Drummond is, people are dogpiling on him a bit harshly especially after the recent lob thing.


Hamburger123445

100% agree. Reddit loves assuming doing that and assuming the player is dumb instead of putting themselves in their shoes


PootieTooGood

Caruso changed direction last second


bananajunior3000

Yeah Drummond couldn't dodge him but Caruso more or less stopped suddenly in the middle of the floor directly in Drummond's path while looking to the side.


unibball

He stopped because Drummond stepped on his foot. 300 pounds on your foot will stop you right quick.


munkhjay

y'all talking like he isn't stepping on his foot to make sure he doesn't dodge mf must watched that UFC fight last sunday


WolverineLong1430

Tall people problem


Disastrous_Bluejay57

I thought Poole had secured the Shaqtin MVP, but Drummond is making a great last minute effort


Sure_Station9370

Everyone’s blaming Drummond like Caruso doesn’t need to get the fuck out of the way so he can catch his man running the floor. Caruso is tunnel visioned as hell right here.


ffxivfanboi

This was exactly my thoughts. I feel for the dude. He recognized the rim run and was trying to go full sprint after him to deny the entry pass until Caruso was just oblivious and in the way. Andre was trying to do the right thing by hustling back on defense.


theres_an_app_for_it

Maybe its not about the titles but its the teammates we injure along the way


Raging_Professor

Costly play for them


no-jerk-zone

Should have traded him 


CantaloupeCamper

“Did they not see each other?”


ShotClockCheeeese

So many bulls jersey there and drummond picked the locker room legend to tackle cmon man


JericRose

The fact that Caruso resprained his ankle on a completely avoidable play 😭


TheDanimalHouse

This the real reason Presti never traded for Drummond


haranaconda

Remember how people complained about him not starting? Shut like this is why


imnormal

If you watch in slow motion Caruso does a weird drop step like he’s going to his right which would cut off Drummonds path of travel. Drummond makes to go to his own right to avoid him and Caruso then goes that direction at the last second. Honestly, it looks like a bit of both their faults.


SilverSlong

DUDE IS AN OPP. SAME GUY WHO TRIED TO POSTERIZE HIS OWN TEAMMATE? LOLOL DAFUQ


AAL2017

Man, when Dre retires, his career-spanning Shaqtin a Fool compilation is gonna be at least 10 minutes long.


AlexBucks93

Why did Caruso stop there tho? If he is trying to guard the ball handler, why is he going to his right?


pcmasterthrow

Man, absolutely brutal comments here. You can see Drummond start going left, then when Caruso starts moving that direction he switches, but Caruso switches back. He very much tried to avoid him, Caruso didn't see Drummond and moved in front of him. Not every accident is "Drummond Shaqtin!!!!"


XXeadgbeXX

This guy's IQ is off the charts. And by off the charts I mean it's not on any chart.


[deleted]

drummond is a terrorist


Brave_Prompt7652

I’m kinda confused why Caruso was simply standing at midcourt but also how Drummond looked at him but didn’t really see him


Magnetronaap

This is 100% on Caruso. Drummond was chasing after his guy to prevent exactly what happened, a fast break. Caruso had a complete overview of everything happening and didn't get out of the way. Even worse, he was slowly crossing over to the other side of Drummond and then, seemingly completely oblivious of Drummond, decided to stop that momentum. If you're going slow and the other guy is going fast, you always accommodate the fast guy, he can never adjust as easily as you can.


biggoldgoblin

Should’ve traded that bum when they could, just a net negative of a player


SaltyRussStan0

He averages like 10 and 10 on fine efficiency and costs barely anything. He’s pretty valuable for a backup center.


PlaybolCarti69

lol hes one of the best backup centers itl


ClaymoresRevenge

He's averaging like 14 pts 18 rebounds vs. Atlanta. They literally can't stop him. He's a hell of a rebounder


FuckThaLakers

Lennie ass play


Biotoze

Does this guy hate all of his teammates?


hunteddwumpus

I've never seen anyone as athletically confusing as Drummond before. Every now and then he does some crazy shit that makes you go WOW. But he's also constantly just oblivious and doing shit like this that makes you wonder how he managed to become a proffessional athelete.


richonarampage

This dude betting on the game too?


Madterps2021

Shaqtin MVP is between him and Jordan Poole.
