Nahhhhhhhhhhh
He was also by far a team worst -33 because his defense is atrocious
Oh my worddd!!!
This is crazy disrespectful and I love it
Domin-Ayton the funniest self-given nickname in NBA history
Headline: Devin Booker insinuates DeAndre Ayton is SOFT and lacks the professionalism to play to the best of his ability CONSISTENTLY
Reminder that Ayton unfollowed Booker and Durant after he got traded. Interpret that information how you want.
Gotta respect the pettiness
It’s kinda fun having such a polarizing player right now because otherwise I don’t think we’d make many headlines lmao
He’s not wrong lol
Ayton might have the biggest gap between his potential production and actual production in the NBA
Oh man. Burn. This is peak pettiness and I am here for it.
Omg I live this man! Lol
*Mic Drop*
Holy fuck this is disrespectful (and factual)
shots fired
I don’t even like Booker but that was spicy and a deserved shot
Booker ain’t even got hard feelings on him.
He’s disappointed, not mad. DA’s potential has always been so apparent and it’s clear he can be a top 5 big man, but he just chooses up to never play hard.
He played hard for one half
Yeah if I’m DA I’m not letting that slide, I’m going straight to 2k and dropping 50 on him.
This is an A+ answer, backhanded ass compliment
Lolol
This feels like that 50 Cent challenge to Floyd lmaooo
“my challenge for him” so passive-aggressive lmao.
Book kept challenging DA for the past 5yrs to play hard consistently…never happened
One night Ayton has 28 & 19 and the next game he has 10 & 6
Crazy to me that a dude who clearly had to be super ultra dedicated to be the #1 pick just lost interest and stopped trying hard. I guess we don’t know about his mental but Ayton is so talented and it’s a shame that a former franchise cornerstone was traded just like that.
Does anyone have a clip of Ayton trash talking Booker then Booker torches him afterwards, saw someone say it in the game thread?
I have not watched a single Blazers game, can someone tell me if he is getting screwed on these FT’s or is he just playing super soft.
lol, he was playing harder tonight than he was during the playoffs last year.
Mission failed we’ll get em next time.
Can someone please explain why it’s controversial to call Ayton a bust? A number 1 pick who in 6 seasons will have an all rookie team be his only accolade – not even close to any all stars/all nba, whose team was desperate to get rid of him, and who would just about scrape the top 10 in a redraft. In a vacuum he’s a decent enough player but bust status is relative to expectations and context.
He was unstoppable but billups just don’t know how to keep feeding him..
Lmao booker already played with this bum. He still holds that grudge haha
Backhand compliment lmao
Bro think he Kobe handing out challenges lmao
DBook has been great but what has he done so far to deserve the right to talk this much trash to DOMINAYTON? We know DOMINAYTON is soft but bruh DBook, you have choked more than once in elimination game in playoffs. Maybe you should play hard every night in playoffs?
He’s not wrong though
Ayton: “Nah”
Ayton deserves more hate
Imagine Ayton with Looneys balls.
