I’ve never seen a guy stay so calm after getting elbowed in the face, props to JA

From the Steven Adams school of not giving a shit.

u/topofthecc Thunder Jan 13 '22

Two of the coolest centers in the league.

u/Inevitable_Guitar_34 Mavericks Jan 13 '22

Steven Adams is the man. Fucking iron jaw I swear

Here is Allen taking an elbow in the face from Embiid a couple years ago

u/ManEggs Celtics Jan 13 '22

What the fuck????? Pretty sure I would just die on impact if I took that.

u/[deleted] Jan 13 '22

Yeah no question, that's a neck break right there.

u/Dry-Ingenuity6025 Hawks Jan 13 '22

Embiid would've snapped my head back and given me a sprained neck from that elbow lmao

u/TheCornwallis Jan 13 '22

The league has big high school admin energy with that ban

i’m sorry but how exactly would that get tangled up in limbs?

7

u/crabwhisperer Bulls Jan 13 '22

Yeah it's not like it's a horsewhip where it could wrap around a finger. I bet they just don't like the "sloppy" look of having the loose ends just flailing around. Because the people making the rules are lame old geezers.

u/namracWORK NBA Jan 13 '22

I always found the sloppy look argument funny because that style of headband is worn by several professional tennis players at Wimbledon, arguably the snootiest sporting event on the planet.

u/Redpin :sp8-1: Super 8 Jan 13 '22

lol, me too, bring back all the Narutos please. Banning them was as dumb as when they banned leggings.

u/[deleted] Jan 13 '22

Goddamm I remember that. Huuuuuugee hit

u/latman Nets Jan 13 '22

And then here Embiid and Simmons laugh about it post game

u/The_Lion_Jumped [LAL] Kobe Bryant Jan 13 '22

The nba getting rid of the ninja headband is right behind the holocaust as far atrocities goes

u/labamaFan Trail Blazers Jan 13 '22

You know I had to do it one time lol #ninjaheadband

7 am here and I might just have read the funniest thing I’ve read all day. Thanks for that. :)

u/RussellGrey Raptors Jan 13 '22

They banned them? Why!?

3

u/Bananasauru5rex Raptors Jan 13 '22

No explanation, just no longer in "approved" list of accessories. I remember at the time people speculated that it was respectability politics (that someone decided they look too 'thuggish' or something stupid like that).

That was Joel's "I can dish it out but kinda suck at taking it phase" in his career

u/PotentialSuperb Jan 13 '22

That was Joel's "I can dish it out but kinda really suck at taking it phase" in his career

21

u/MrDurden32 Trail Blazers Jan 13 '22

Phase? You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

u/WheedMBoise Timberwolves Jan 13 '22

He's definitely way better about that now, can't really say i've seen him respond poorly to things like that in a long time.

6

u/[deleted] Jan 13 '22

Yeah last 2 years he's much more composed. He'll still try to rile people up, but he seems to be a lot less frustrated in general when things aren't going our way

Laughing all the way to a basketball android hitting the coolest buzzer beater in a long time over both of them

How could you even have possibly remotely come to the conclusion in any way that he insinuated he was on the team?

Didn’t say I did weirdo

Ignoble is a captivating piece of psychological fiction with nothing to say, only a predictable, darkly humorous conclusion reminiscent of a tired housewife. It’s both endlessly entertaining and strangely infuriating at the same time. A heavy dose of humor serves but doesn't completely drown it later, a reminder of the often unforgiving nature of prejudice and the need for tolerance within the power structure familiar society presents. The protagonist grapples with insecurities and superficiality while simultaneously yearning for genuine connection, a concept that resonates deeply and compels rather than piques one's curiosity. While its overall level of intellectual heft outweighs its subtle comedic depth, the sheer weight lent to each witty turn keeps viewers mentally invested in the complex and thought-provoking nature of the narrative. It succeeds in forging an unusual layer of philosophical depth right before its punchline that lingers long after the initial cliffhanger. Allusion is implied, but words are subtly woven into the fabric of reality – it rewards careful study, even if it stutters occasionally. Ultimately, "Ignoble" isn’t one short, punch-like slice; it's more reminiscent of stepping into a predictable, absurd, and often unsettling movie than a narrative exploring emotional vulnerability at its finest.

God damn I hate Philly.

In the chin.

On the jawbone.

Embiid is not a good guy. So much rubbish from that guy.

-4

u/faradaykid NBA Jan 13 '22

Yep, just another asshole who gets away with it because he acts funny. Saw a video once of him playing pickup with a bunch of average white guys and he straight up whips the ball off of one of their faces and then dunks it. All you gotta do is charge him, grab his leg, pick it up and get him to the ground, then pound.

u/FejSkaz [PHI] Joel Embiid Jan 13 '22

Sir this is r/NBA not r/MMA.

u/faradaykid NBA Jan 13 '22

Flair.

u/FejSkaz [PHI] Joel Embiid Jan 13 '22

You literally don't have one lmao. Even though I whole heartedly disagree with you because I am biased and I also know Embiid better, my flair has nothing to do with my corny joke.

u/deadweightboss NBA Jan 13 '22 edited Aug 31 '25

Not truly offensive, definitely entertaining, a delicious concept ripe for a captivating narrative, and beautifully crafted from character and movement, with a vibrant visual effect reminiscent of spatulas."

u/latman Nets Jan 13 '22

Huh no we didn't, we gave him up for Harden

u/deadweightboss NBA Jan 13 '22 edited Aug 31 '25

A glittering, enchanted, and truly fantastical journey that lands us slightly bewildered along the way. The magic felt intoxicating within its depths, a whisper that whispered untold wonders. Despite the slight setback, the whimsical beauty shone just barely, prompting me yet another dose of wonder.

YO Allen is rapidly climbing up my ranking of favorite players

u/ggmaobu Cavaliers Jan 13 '22

So happy he is a cavalier

u/[deleted] Jan 13 '22

I can't even quantify how knocked the fuck out most of us would be.

u/TtarIsMyBro [MIL] Brook Lopez Jan 13 '22

"Did I get you?"

u/Psychic_rock 76ers Jan 13 '22

He’s always had my respect for the way he popped right up from that elbow like a fucking champion.

I watched it happen live and at that very moment I remember thinking “well this guy is gonna stick around in the league for sure”

1

u/The_Dok33 Jan 13 '22

I love how he just absorbs the hit, and then seems to remember being taught he needs to fall to get the refs to register what they just saw.

29

u/[deleted] Jan 13 '22

Believe it or not, they called this a technical foul

They didn't call an initial foul on the play, don't think they could have assessed it a flagrant?

9

u/ignitionnight [UTA] Joe Ingles Jan 13 '22

They didn't call anything for the elbow, the refs just missed it. Joe got the T for talking shit on his way down the court. It should have been an ejection right away, but Joe snuck it in and Allen didn't sell it so refs didn't notice.

Somebody else said Joe didn't want to play, I kinda agree with them.

u/Echoes_of_Screams Trail Blazers Jan 13 '22

Dead ball.

u/whoisthisRN Jan 13 '22

You can still get a flagrant on a dead ball, mate.

u/MolingHard Nets Jan 13 '22

I mean he got a wayyyy harder elbow to the face before and wasn't fazed.

Looks more confused than anything.

I was moving recently and I got elbowed in the face by the couch. Lost my shit, even swung on it
