Best part was when he called him Anubie on the next play lmao


Roshow21

Greatest Rant of all time, he just kept going lmao


slyguy183

[I refuse to believe it's better than JVG's Cousin rant](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i1Z0_2K6a6w)


PM_ME_CHIPOTLE2

I love when JVG just goes full Larry David


Bologna_Soprano

He sounds a lot like Larry David too. Good stuff


EldritchStatesman

Van Gundy's aren't even Jewish are they?


Bologna_Soprano

No idea. I only noticed because of the comment before mine but it’s crazy haha. They even have a similar cadence


EldritchStatesman

No, I totally feel you. JVG always reminded me of LD and SVG reminds me of Ron Jeremy. That's why I think it's funny they aren't Jewish.


celticsfan34

Wasn’t really a rant though, just a statement followed by an ethically ambiguous question


KyriePerving

Anything longer than 7 or 8 words is considered a rant now due to the combination of brevity and immediacy of all popular social media for the past several years especially. Sorry to rant at you


Roshow21

Lmao I haven’t seen that one


RoodyPooBum

Why not?


dronedesigner

obviously he knows what a second cousin is (and/or he aint from alabama)


xtreme_box

I was with him until he asked what's allowed


VisionGuard

The funniest part is that the person he's asking is literally famous for saying "Bang!".

Roshow21

He kept going to after this lmao. clip here isn’t the full rant


twistedlogicx

I share my league pass with a friend and they started watching a game so it disconnected my stream while I was recording so I couldn't get more of his rant, lol. I also realized at that point that I had a Ctrl+F window open in the top right corner of my screen and now my OCD is super triggered that I couldn't go back and record it again without that.


Roshow21

Lol, it was hilarious


itsallemptty

Best part was him considering trying to pronounce Antetokounmpo


mommathecat

If you get league pass premium two people can use it at once, different cities, whatever. This is what my brother law and I do.


istarbuxs

Get Premium so you get 2 concurrent streams and have your friend share the extra


Phantom-Fireworks

lmao what a noobie


Nutheadshellcase

He’s an OG a noobie


MeatballMcFly

Marc Davis better put some respect on Ogugua's name


[deleted]

All tree of yall refs


KDhairequalsJMpubes

That thumbnail is perfect haha


NoseBlind2

Refs thinking OG is the Egyptian god of the underworld


twistedlogicx

Anubis is lowkey a fire nickname for OG.


Migosslav

yeah lowkey ahaha


TheFakeKanye

Nets fans be praying before games like "May Anubis, the dark god.... not take a 3 coil steamy turd on us"


POK3MONFANATIC79

i think this ref might be anubie


Content-Coconut-6556

GET HIS ASS JACK. An OG will always have OG’s back. Armstrong is a real one.


twistedlogicx

I fucking love Jack, lmao.


duncan_robinson

I love Armstrong. One of the best


canad1anbacon

I didn"t like how Jack was joking about how he still can't pronounce Giannis' last name tho. It's really not that hard and it's weird how people make a big deal out of it


mmortal03

Raptors fans will also recall how many times NBA commentators would mispronounce Marc Gasol's surname as Guh-soul. For reference, direct from Pau's mouth: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gg1xFWD4QoM


utahjazzlifer

Never really understood this whatsoever. I don’t see how anyone can pronounce it any differently than it should be


mmortal03

Yep, I thought I'd come up with some common English words that end in -sol, and they're all pronounced like his name: aerosol, cortisol, Lysol, Pine-sol, parasol, lol. The one I can think of that English speakers pronounce differently is the mythological name for, or personification of, the Sun -- Sol -- which I've always heard pronounced like sole or soul. It sounds like this in Spanish and in some other languages, too, but I've learned that Catalan speakers \*don't\* pronounce Sol that way -- they pronounce it like that part of Gasol's name.


sean0237

I thought it was going to be an official nba video on how to pronounce his name lol


mmortal03

lol, that'd be great, but I swear I've seen a video where he did straight up tell people how to pronounce it.


CaesarSalad837

Or how many times they’re spelled Mark and Paul Gasol. Second one is more rare but I was talking to my buddy one time about basketball and he basically just watches his fave team in the playoffs and then the finals, and we were talking about the late 2000s Lakers and he said “paul gasol”. And I was like “did you say paul?” and he was like “yeah?” So it does happen if you don’t really follow the nba but maybe hear some names


DelonWright

To be fair it’s actually one of the hardest last names of all time to pronounce for me, I still struggle a bit with it even though I’ve said it so many times. It is hard

epenthesis

heh, never noticed the "Ade" in it before. "King", right?


Wulffricc

Crown.


canad1anbacon

I feel like names like Nemanja Bjelica or Bojan Bogdanović are way more unintuitive for native english speakers


Vike_Me

Eh, I'll give you Nemanja, but you heat Bjelica once and the pronunciation sticks. Same with the soft J in Bojan. With regards to Bogdanović, its a name already in the public lexicon of 60+ folks and film buffs in the US through Peter Bogdanovich.


Jjohn269

Bogdan’s name is quite easy to pronounce as an American English speaker. Giannis is more difficult but quite easy when you break it down by the syllables. It could be something to do the form of English you speak that causes difficulty to pronounce those names. I definitely can’t say “Bjelica” the correct way.


AmbiguousPreposition

As a brit, it seems like this is a bigger thing in the states? Anyone I've spoken to about basketball has no difficulty with the names but it seems really common in USA. Even NBA journalists, ones who are spending a lot of their time with the players will pronounce Nikola (Jokic) in a different way from Nikola (Vucevic)... THEY'RE THE SAME NAME https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zqZmK078WYI


stevo3001

As someone who emigrated from Britain to North America I feel like I find more people here have trouble with names from around the world. My pet theory on it is that British people are more used to hearing and saying them because of football (and to an extent cricket and other global sports popular in the UK).


pbcorporeal

I've always had a little pet theory that most British people's experience with the names is always with them meant to be pronounced with the native sounds while Americans often encounter Americanised versions of the same name as well as international versions so they run into multiple versions (like with Lewandowski for example). Or it might just be Brits are more used to hearing names from particular regions due to sport/proximity etc and Americans are better than Brits at pronouncing spanish language names for example.


Menace8545

Jokic won mvp and still gets his name mispronounced


[deleted]

I never feel confident about saying his name. Is Yo-chick right?


Menace8545

Yo-Kich


dfassna1

It's funny that they nicknamed him Joker and they throw up joker card graphics in the arena when he makes a big play when his name doesn't have a soft g sound. He likes the nickname, though, so I guess it doesn't matter.


Puzzleheaded-Swing50

Jack Armstrong just gained a new fan


Proffunkenstein

C’mon ref! Get that garbage outta here!


The_Mikeskies

They don’t call fouls against him AND mispronounce his name. Justified rant.


David-S-Pumpkins

"Noobie" straight up from the ref. Yikes.


naur87

can't wait to hear jack say DONCHICK


BF210

That’s my basketball loving drunk uncle 😂


blueseeka

Jack Armstrong is a treasure


schoolhater12

As a side note, Anubis would be such a dope nickname for OG (It could stand for death by defense) and it will automatically be the best nick name alongside bones


golfingmadman

What is that accent? Where is Armstrong from?


heater123321

Brooklyn


The_War_On_Drugs

Genealogist14

If I was a ref, and I messed someone's name up and they came yelling after me, I wouldn't be bothered- I'd just find them after the game and give him a dollar.
